Grunge Style - How to Wear Grunge

The Updated Bowler Shirt

Among the distinct identifiers of grunge fashion are baggy denim, distressed details, and striped bowler shirts that are meant to be layered. Here, Zoë Kravitz puts a polished spin on the trend with a pair of brightly colored slacks and kitten heels for a bit of a lift.

Baggy Denim

One of the easiest ways to embrace the resurgence of grunge fashion is by investing in a pair of black baggy jeans à la Bella Hadid. As far as styling is concerned, keep in line with the relaxed theme and wear yours with a (slightly) oversized tee and chunky shoes.

Getting Graphic

Rather than stick with all-black pieces, add a colorful graphic tee into the mix to liven up the look just in time for spring. Plus, it can be easily tucked into a miniskirt or cargos if jeans aren’t really your thing.
