How To Wear Grunge Fashion For Fall

As fall has arrived, we can finally get wrapped in our cozy sweaters and warm boots in the chilly weather.

Also, fall is a great season to rock the perfect grunge look just like what you have been seeing on Tumblr!

If you’ve no idea what does grunge fashion means, let me give you some quick and brief explanation.

Grunge is actually a sub genre of alternative rock that was popularised by famous bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots. Grunge has gained its popularity during the 1990s and gradually became a mainstream culture. The most obvious way to see the success of grunge of course would be grunge fashion.

How to wear like a grunge girl? Based on my observation, I’ve noticed a several guidelines you need to follow in order to wear it right.

Firstly, your make up. Thick eyeliners and dark red lips are one of the elements to look grungy.

Next would be the must-have clothes. Go oversized or fitted when it comes to outwear or T-shirt. The more vintage your clothes are, the better it is. Do opt for plaided flannel shirt, band t-shirts, cropped top, tank top, opaque tights, mom jeans or floral skater skirt. These are the important elements of 90’s grunge look. Be sure to go for dark colors or earth tone colors when you’re choosing your clothes. As for the footwear, ankle boots or combat boots are a must-have.

Now, let’s take a look at how these fashionista style their grunge look for fall!

1) For the first grunge fashion, I’ve decided ro infuse some feminine style with a loose floral dress. Go for a short sleeves floral dress with dark tone. This floral dress has a rather vintage floral pattern which is perfect for the vintage 90’s grunge look.

Then, pair the dress with a masculine black leather jacket to polish up the look. Carry a black leather crossbody handbag with a metallic buckle closure to store your essentials in style.

For the footwear, I’ve handpicked this oxford platform boots together with a knitted over-knee tights to keep your little feet warm and cozy.
