Kardashian rounds things out with black sunnies and a black mini bag and what appears to be a Versace wallet sticking out of the brim of the bag. With a little help from Barker, it seems that the Kardashian has been adopting a grunge aesthetic these days, making it her mission to match with the rough stylings of the Blink-182 drummer.

The pair has appeared together in mostly black, and a lot of it, passing on color for a post-punk style. Barker wore a distressed black tee, black skinny jeans and thick black sunglasses. The musician also wore a hefty gold chain.

Both Kardashian and Barker wore black shoes with a slight sheen. Kardashian chose to step out in black chunky platform boots with a round, pronounced toe. Barker bets on a classic pair of creepers with a slight platform. Both styles of shoes are very grunge, indeed, offering the pair extra inches and, of course, an edgier presence. Thick platforms are always a good idea for those who are looking to make an entrance. The shoe commands attention, and isn’t that what the grunge movement is all about?
