From [grunge-hipster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) to futuristic fashionista, the Kate Moennig Work Magazine photoshoot by Lindsey Byrnes explores all sides of the actress. Known for her androgynous looks and slim physique, Moennig easily sports a hip rocker look, complete with leather jacket and cigarette. Shot for the magazine's 'Manipulation' issue, other photos use editing to set mismatched bottoms with an [edgy leather and black-studded blazer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2). The shoot makes creative use of [combat boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modeloffduty-essentials), pairing them with more feminine looks as well as the grittier punk style.

Styled by JAK, the Kate Moennig Work Magazine shoot is a perfect example of haute hipster fashion. By updating an old t-shirt and jeans combo with boots and leather half-gloves, you can create a look that is far from basic.
