Grunge style - ideas for grunge outfits
The term grunge comes from the 1980s. At that time, it referred to the musical style of bands such as Alice in Chains and Nirvana. Only over time did grunge become a broadly understood subculture.
In 2010, grunge-inspired fashion returned in a new guise — soft grunge. This was particularly influenced by the platform tumblr, which enjoyed great popularity. At that time, influential artists included: The 1975, Marina And The Diamonds, Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, The xx and Lorde.
The aesthetics of soft grunge were significantly influenced by the series Skins, and mainly by the heroine Effy Stonem. All these factors made soft grunge significantly different from the grunge known from the 80s. If you want to learn about other alternative styles, read our post about alternative fashion <3 .
Grunge aesthetic outfits - inspiration for grunge outfits
The grunge style is loose and comfortable. T-shirts and baggy flannel shirts reign supreme. Since 2010, crop tops, striped shirts, denim jackets, and shoes like Creepers or Vans have been particularly popular.
Wondering how to create the perfect grunge outfit? You've come to the right place. In this post, I'll share with you some styling ideas using grunge clothing. You can find most of the clothes in our alternative clothing store — SKYDANCE.
Grunge shirt - grunge style outfit
Can you imagine a grunge wardrobe without a loose shirt? Me neither! A flannel shirt is a must-have for any grunge wardrobe.
In this style, the main role is played by the Genesis oversized shirt . We combined the ash-gray plaid flannel with a black tennis skirt and Polly top. You can combine your flannel shirt with any black base - each will work great. On colder days, swap the short tennis skirt for trousers. Our black grunge jeans will be perfect , they not only look good, but are above all comfortable and cosy.
Grunge dress — grunge style outfit
Style your favorite dress! Let your imagination run wild by creating grunge outfits - that's what we did. We turned our red and black striped longsleeve into a grunge dress. For this purpose, we used a wide black belt that emphasizes the waist and keeps the "dress in place".
If your dress is too short and you don't feel comfortable in it, the solution is safety shorts, i.e. shorts to wear under your dress !
The finishing touches to the look are fishnet tights and alternative jewelry in the form of a choker and a grunge necklace . If you want, you can swap the black chunky shoes for sneakers.
Grunge pants - grunge style outfit
Grunge style is supposed to be comfortable, so the perfect option is a loose, high-waisted, straight-leg pair of jeans . We paired our Sinster jeans with a large Genesis flannel shirt and an Acid top . The whole look is kept in dark colors, so white high-soled shoes are perfect here.
In this grunge outfit you will be able to literally conquer the world. Its greatest asset is comfort, thanks to which you will be ready to face all the challenges of the day. May the spirit of grunge be with you!
Grunge skirt — grunge style outfit
A short tennis skirt is a must-have in every grange wardrobe! Find out what the tennis skirt phenomenon is all about.
In this grunge outfit, our red and black plaid skirt is paired with an oversized printed sweatshirt. The accessories add a dash of style — leather chokers, neck chains, as well as fingerless gloves and fishnet stockings. We have to admit that the whole thing looks really great!
Grunge style - outfit for cold days
In Poland it is cold most of the year. Flannel shirts, although they look great, may not be enough to keep us warm. In this case, I have a grunge outfit suggestion for you for cold days.
In the fall and winter, when the temperature outside is close to zero, it is best to dress in layers. Fortunately, a warm outfit does not have to be boring! For this style, I suggest you wear a Mori longleeve and a Hera long skirt . Don't forget to wear a warm T-shirt and tights underneath!
The style is given character by a black leather belt, alternative jewelry and grunge high-soled shoes. On top I put on my favorite leather jacket.
