"    Photo: Courtesy of Bleached   Sister acts have become a music world mainstay, but while waiting for Beyonc\u00E9 and Solange to collaborate, there&amp;#039;s Bleached to keep on entertaining. The Los Angeles duo, born from the city&amp;#039;s rich history of punk-tinged girl groups like The Go-Gos, formed Bleached, when their previous band\u2014lo-fi Mika Miko\u2014called it quits. Jennifer and Jessica Clavin&amp;#039;s jangly, three-chord, three-minute songs cover typical California girl problems (boys, surfing), with instantly hummable choruses that The Ramones would have killed for. Live, they bring along a drummer but there&amp;#039;s no question which two are related onstage; for their current West Coast tour, the Clavins packed matching oxblood Dr. Martens. &amp;quot;Sister, sister!&amp;quot; joked Jessica about their overlapping sartorial tastes.    With garter belts and thigh-highs among their tour mainstays, it seems there&amp;#039;s not much that the Bleached sisters won&amp;#039;t pull on. &amp;quot;I feel like I always say, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ll never wear that,&amp;#039; and then eventually it happens,&amp;quot; Jennifer admitted. The duo took a break from rocking out onstage to pull together an impromptu photo shoot\u2014and detail the importance of packing lots of socks when you travel\u2014for ELLE.com. Jennifer&amp;#039;s outfit breakdown: Dress by UNIF, thigh-highs and garter belt by Trashy Lingerie, boots by Dr. Martens, rings from Marc Jacobs and Forever 21. I brought this outfit on tour because: &amp;quot;I love bringing my favorites; I feel more complete since we are on the road and away from home every night.&amp;quot; My personal style is: &amp;quot;&amp;#039;90s-meets-Brigitte Bardot-meets a dark side.&amp;quot; If this outfit were one of Bleached&amp;#039;s songs it would be: &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Dazed,&amp;#039; because part of that song is about being yourself.&amp;quot; I usually bring:  &amp;quot;Eight outfits that I&amp;#039;ll pick, like, the night before we leave, and just rotate them every night.&amp;quot; When packing I take into consideration: &amp;quot;[Fitting] everything\u2014so not taking anything I might only wear once. Except I bring so many thigh-highs and tights, because that can always change an outfit up.&amp;quot; I always pack: &amp;quot;My oxblood, heeled Dr. Martens.&amp;quot; Before a show I: &amp;quot;Do some vocal exercises and then we usually will sing together to make sure our harmonizing is right.&amp;quot;  My pre-tour shopping spot is: &amp;quot;Wasteland on Melrose.&amp;quot; The best on-the-road purchase I ever made was: &amp;quot;My BCBG navy trench coat. It goes with almost everything and looks so good!&amp;quot; My favorite thing to have happened on tour so far is: &amp;quot;Playing the Strange Magic prom show at Space 1520 for Tavi [Gevinson]. So many 16-year-old girls going crazy. It was so awesome\u2014I felt like I was in a teen movie.&amp;quot;  Photo: Courtesy of Bleached Jessica&amp;#039;s outfit breakdown: &amp;quot;Silk black tank, black skirt, denim jacket, and Dr. Martens boots, basically all from thrift stores or given as gifts.&amp;quot; I brought this outfit on tour because: &amp;quot;Otherwise I would have to play naked!&amp;quot; My personal style: &amp;quot;Is influenced by all the bands that also influence my music, so when I put an outfit on I think of the bands from the &amp;#039;60s to the &amp;#039;90s that look so cool.&amp;quot; If this outfit were on of Bleached&amp;#039;s songs it would be: &amp;quot;&amp;#039;No Friend of Mine,&amp;#039; because that&amp;#039;s the song I get the most crazy to\u2014so I think, what outfit do I want to be jumping around in?&amp;quot; I usually bring: &amp;quot;A selection [of outfits] and end up wearing the same thing every three nights.&amp;quot; When packing I take into consideration: &amp;quot;[Bringing] enough socks and underwear.&amp;quot; I always pack: &amp;quot;My oxblood Dr. Martens!&amp;quot; My favorite thing to have happened on tour so far is:  &amp;quot;The prom show. It was really fun. Everyone&amp;#039;s dresses were so awesome and pretty.&amp;quot;  Photo: Courtesy of Bleached "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
