We presumed that fashion would be flourishing at the Phoenix show (with Metric as opening act) at the Greek Theatre on Wednesday night. And the style savvy crowd didn’t disappoint.

Metric’s unpretentiously hip front woman Emily Haines was clearly the style idol of choice among the ladies, many of whom paired comfy dresses with sneakers or boots for a punky-pretty look. Others channeled classic Chrissie Hynde — who, incidentally, played at the same venue two weeks ago –  in boots, skinnies and tees.

The guys deserved props for actually making an effort. No doubt the irreverently cool, je nais se quois style of the night’s headlining band inspired the boys.

We spotted a few lads rocking geek-chic in colorful striped scarves layered over impeccably skinny tees and jeans, with matching spectacles. And then there were those working a Dior Homme look: think boxy, slightly cropped leather jackets over basic tees and jeans.
