In the last century in the fashion industry a new bold style appeared - grunge. An explosive and bright in its essence grunge was fallen in love with versatile personalities who like to change their image from day to day. Today this style can be seen both among the youth and among the older generation. We can safely say that there are no boundaries in this direction. This is the freedom of fantasy and choice.
Specific features of the style, manifested in clothing
Bold, challenging and unique grunge-inspired looks are skirts worn over pants and other skirts, T-shirts over T-shirts and combinations of incompatible colors. The choice of this wardrobe is a sure way to stand out from the gray mass, dressed in the same clothes. The translation of the word “grunge” - ugly - does not at all reflect the essence of the style. The first impression of a person's appearance can surprise and repel, but then you can immediately notice how skillfully selected details of the costume.
The main features of the style are:
- the comfort of the chosen clothes, as the external chic is nothing compared to the convenience;
- eclectic wardrobe, a combination of incompatible styles and colors, external negligence, which is attached to even the most sophisticated branded things;
- untidy clothes: arrows, holes, patches, sticking threads;
- layering - things worn one on top of another in an uncharacteristic manner;
- monochrome and monotonous shades, lack of prints and patterns, natural colors;
- the inner freedom of the person who chooses the grunge comes through in every image.
If you wish, you can combine grunge with military, casual, vintage styles. Combinations with clothes in glamorous trends are undesirable. Also, grunge does not accept decor in the form of shiny rhinestones and other glamorous decorative elements.
