Plaid shirt, destroyed jeans, platform boots… These pieces that you haven't worn before are part of the famous grunge style! How to use a dress style that will always remain trendy.
When we say grunge style to you, you probably think of Kurt Cobain and it is quite normal! Emblematic figure of the grunge movement – musical movement inspired by heavy metal – the singer of the group Nirvana is recognizable by his allure and his unique style: disheveled long hair, ripped jeans, oversized plaid shirts and Converse on the feet . If this clothing trend dates from the 90s, it is still relevant in 2021! That's good, we give you here some tips to adopt the grunge style to perfection.
Grunge style flagship fashion pieces
For a successful grunge style, your jeans should be ripped at the knees. You can choose skinny jeans, but straight or baggy jeans are also suitable for this style of dress. To accentuate the rock side of your look, you can add fishnet tights under your ripped jeans. You will see, the rendering is pretty cool! For the colors of the jeans, black is preferred but gray and / or raw blue also work very well.
The plaid shirt is THE flagship fashion piece of grunge style. Without it, you can't have that must-have rock'n'roll look! The checks are preferably red and black in color and sometimes you can even let yourself be tempted by small starry patterns embroidered on the shirt. The plaid shirt is usually worn oversized and you can even make it a dress, to wear with a pair of flat lace-up boots for example. The proof below …
A great classic of the grunge wardrobe, the leather jacket spends the years without ever going out of fashion and it inevitably hangs out in your clothes. If you like good basics, you can choose a black colored biker jacket. It's a fashion must-have! Otherwise, choose an oversized or belted leather jacket if you have a more glamorous outfit. As for colors, black is a safe bet but brown is also a color that we recommend! You can even choose a model with bangs or studs if you feel like it.
The printed t-shirt is also one of the fashion pieces to have for your grunge outfit. You can choose a t-shirt with the logo of your favorite rock or metal band. Soundgarden, Nirvana, Guns N 'Roses, AC / DC, Iron Maiden … You will inevitably find your happiness among all these music groups! If you prefer good basics, you are bound to have white or black t-shirts lying around in your clothes that will do the trick as well. They go with everything: a skirt, jeans and they can even turn into a dress if they are oversized!
Tartan is one of the flagship materials of the grunge style. Very chic and elegant, we love its little rock and vintage side that it brings to our look! You can choose a tartan skirt, midi or mini version according to your preferences, or slim pants. Tartan has the advantage of pairing perfectly with fashionable grunge style pieces. Ranger boots, a leather bag, a black blazer … It's simply amazing, the proof!
- The Converse or Doc Martens
Emblem of punk culture, the famous Doc Martens are the shoes we recommend for a successful grunge style. If you're not a fan of chunky platform boots, the Converse is one of the iconic grunge style shoes! For both men and women, this pair of unisex shoes that Kurt Cobain always wore could not be more comfortable and can be worn with absolutely everything. And you can wear them both in winter and in summer!
