Fashion styles come and go but there are still some that make them classic. One of the fashion trends that were very popular in the 90s is the so-called “grunge fashion style.” Grunge fashion style is known as Seattle Sound, a sub-genre of alternative rock. This type of music was cool from the mid-80s to the early 90s. It was so great that it created a certain fashion movement, which we call today the grunge fashion style.
So, what exactly is the grunge fashion style?
Grunge fashion has a generally overlooked look. People interested in this type of fashion generally wear second-hand clothes, such as those available in thrift stores. If this is the type of style you want to adopt, here are some tips for getting the look (with little effort):
Jeans
As it looks scruffy, it’s time to wear those ripped, torn, and ripped jeans that have been dusted in your closet. If you don’t have a partner who looks like this, you can go to a thrift store or even a flea market and buy one or two. Wearing the right jeans is the key to an authentic grunge fashion style.
Flannel shirts
Although flannel shirts are often confused with checkered or checkered shirts, they are more specific to flannel shirts. However, many feel that every checkered or checkered shirt is a flannel shirt. If you want to look rugged, go for checkered flannel shirts or tartan patterns.
Dark color
Another characteristic of the grunge fashion style is that differs greatly is its dark appearance. Well, it’s more about gray and black. This does not mean that you cannot use bright colors, but make sure the overall image is dark, even if you have bright parts in your overall image.
Group t-shirts
A sure way to create an undeniably dirty look is to wear shirts with the image or logo of grunge groups like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and even Nirvana, which has since disappeared. You can’t go wrong with this.
Shoes
Grunge shoes are generally high-heeled tennis shoes or combat boots for men and women. The Dr. Martens brand is closely linked to this aspect. The more the shoes are worn, the better it will be for grunge. When worn, the socks are usually torn or knee-high socks
Hair and accessories.
Grunge fashion style for hairstyles among men and women are often messy and flaccid. Hair is generally worn long and loose and may appear to have been brushed or washed for several days. Bleached or colored hair is also a common element, although the color can be uneven or full, depending on the style overlooked.
Hats are rarely found in grunge, except for baseball caps or hats. There is no place for jewelry either, although simple Gothic pieces or leather bracelets are sometimes worn. Modern grunge makeup is often characterized by black eyeliner and mascara with a stained “all night” look.
Getting the look of the grunge fashion style is something that doesn’t really require much effort. If you know the basics and are not too far from the general style of fashion, you will be in great grunge shape.
