Young people have always strived for rebellion and protested against everything that could identify them with the public. The desire to be “different” was expressed not only in behavior, taste preferences, but also in clothing. It is the latter that allows you to demonstrate “otherness” and emphasize individuality. This was the reason for the emergence of the youth grunge style.
The trend as such emerged in the 90s, when designer Marc Jacobs demonstrated a completely “hobo look” on the catwalk. Light dresses with small flowers were presented in combination with rough Aramean boots. Also noteworthy were sweaters with loose loops, worn under worn-out sneakers and jeans worn to holes.
The collection caused a resonance – surprise was intertwined with a kind of admiration, and avid fashionistas could not understand the catch for a long time. In each image of this couturier, the idea that the spiritual is much more important than the material was traced. Therefore, you can wear anything and everything, as long as your body is protected from the cold.
Such a bold move resembled a time bomb. At first, it made a shocking sensation at the show, to put it mildly, and the next day, when journalists released photos of the collection, it “blew up” the fashion world. The style was dubbed “marginal chic” and all fashionistas immediately wanted to match it. And no wonder, because, tired of the rules of the dress code, people finally had the opportunity to look different.
If you are a fan of this trend, you should consider the following recommendations from leading stylists when buying outfits:
Pay attention only to dark colors and muted shades. Bright saturated cheerful colors have never been combined with this style.
A flannel shirt should definitely be in the wardrobe, as it is the basis of the basics for both women and men. And it is worn in different ways: unbuttoned, buttoned, tied around the waist.
When buying pants, you should give preference to jeans (worn or baggy). Jumpsuits and flared models are in trend.
Shoes should be heavy and chunky. You can pick up ankle boots, sneakers or oversized boots.
In addition to the usual, today there are several more types of this trend:
Eclectic. It combines unusual details with classics. For example, a white crisp shirt can be worn under torn pants.
Glamorous. The combinations of outfits do not differ much, but the shades change: dull and dark to raspberry and pink. There are metal details, extraordinary hats, for example, hats.
But do not confuse grunge with untidiness. If you put on a dirty dress, don’t wash or comb your hair, you are more likely to cause only laughter, not admiring glances from others. Truly fashionable things should be clean and made of quality materials. Any tears and scuffs are just an artificial effect that looks a little careless, but overall very fashionable and stylish.
