Live the Life: Kurt Cobain

1. Eyes' Disguise
Often hungover (or worse), Cobain hid his pupils from the glare of the spotlight with a rotating collection of vintage sunglasses. White sunglasses by Calvin Klein, $140

2. The Cardigans
Seattle is chilly and full of thrift stores. Is it any wonder that Cobain's closets were packed with warm, moth-eaten grandma sweaters? Printed knit cardigan by Diesel Black Gold, $320

3. Beyond the Beltway
As skinny as Cobain was, a belt was less a statement than a necessity. But the singer wore one with style and flare. Leopard-printed calfskin classic buckle belt by Yves Saint Laurent, $325

4. Jean Spirit
Though he may have looked like a slacker, you'd never catch Cobain in slacks. He preferred blue jeans -- ripped and haphazardly cuffed. Distressed skinny jeans by Topman, $70

5. Pennyroyal Tee
Before Cobain, T-shirts were best worn thick and new. After him, the ideal tee became threadbare with faded graphics. Cream Cosmos graphic T-shirt by Converse One Star, $12.99
