Spike had a punk look which strongly resembles that of English rock musician Billy Idol (or rather Idol resembled Spike). His hair was platinum blonde and combed back. Spike usually wore a long black leather duster, grey jeans, dark brown or black t-shirt, and a red silk button shirt. Buffy is a teenage girl who, as the chosen slayer of her generation, has to battle vampires, demons, and other assorted supernatural forces of evil and she has naturally blonde hair and is under constant stress.
