The grunge style originally appeared as a direction in music. In the 80s, the bands Nirvana, Soundgarden became popular in the United States, whose songs and behavior were rebellious, daring. Fans liked this behavior of the idols, and they adopted their habits, clothes and philosophy – defiance, denial, protest. Gradually, the disheveled look and cheeky behavior attracted the American youth.
For a long time, designers were indifferent to the non-standard, for some even aggressive and provocative style in clothing. Only Marc Jacobs for several years watched the development of the grunge style - visited places of congestion of young people, watched vagrants on the streets.
It was Jacobs who became the pioneer of grunge for high fashion. He released his first rebellious collection in 1993 and immediately faced a wave of misunderstanding. Fashion connoisseurs did not immediately realize that "orphan girls" in sundresses in flowers and rough shoes are stylish and bold. The collection also includes trench coats, shirts, sweaters. Mark listened to a lot of humiliating comments, for example, critics made jokes about the origin of clothes, referring to the fact that the appearance of all items of the runway wardrobe dominates the assortment of second-hand. In 2018, the designer announced the re-release of the collection - he recreated all 26 models of the first grunge collection.
Grunge is preferred by young girls and guys under the age of 30-35 years, but with a competent combination of different items of clothing, it looks great on older people.
The substyle of neo-grunge allows the use of lighter, more delicate colors and fabrics, which is especially liked by young girls. They combine light dresses, tunics and blouses with rough elements and emphasize carelessness. All images of neo-grunge are original, creative, creative.
One of the brightest varieties is frankly rebellious images, composed of leather things, spikes, rough shoes. Large jewelry and non-standard accessories are also used.
Rock grunge is similar to punk, but things made of high-quality materials are used to make a wardrobe. Brands are often famous, with a high price tag. Characteristic features - chains, skin, dark colors.
A non-standard combination of hippie style and classic, rebellious grunge. In this litter, bright shades are used more often than in others, typical hippie elements are often found - ethical patterns, braided sandals, bandages. As a result, the images are light, but no less sloppy and throwing a protest at society.
The only kind of grunge that allows grace, lightness and sophistication. Soft grunge is light dresses, tops, skirts, neat shoes without typical roughness, complemented by elements of classic grunge - for example, plaid shirts or torn jeans.
Calm, revealing the personality of a person substyle. Unlike other substyles, loft grunge does not pursue the goal of standing out, declaring yourself, showing your rebellious spirit. Materials in clothing are usually natural - cotton, leather, linen, and silhouettes are free, not constraining movements.
Perhaps no world brand will dare to produce clothes only in the style of grunge. But still there are several companies in the assortment of which you are likely to find things for your outfit. Vivienne Westwood is a British brand that produces clothes in the style of punk rock. No wonder that for a fence in the assortment of things is enough. Skirts, dresses, shirts, suits, tops and blouses successfully fit into the image, creating original and comfortable combinations.

The Swedish fashion house Acne Studios, although not narrowly focused, is definitely suitable for those who are looking for a stretched sweater, plaid shirt or original knitwear. Of course, all clothes are very bold, but grunge is also not about modesty.

Comme des Garçons is famous for extravagant, slightly sloppy things – this is a Japanese clothing brand. Here you can pick up dresses, unusual sweaters of different styles - from sweaters to sweatshirts, trousers, skirts. If this is all combined correctly, you will get a typical grunge bow. And yet, off-season collections almost always include irreplaceable leather jackets.

Every year, grunge style undergoes changes - there are new elements of the wardrobe, textures, combinations. But the classic wardrobe almost always includes:
As for additional accents - pendants, bracelets, watches, grunge does not limit the choice. The main thing is that all this reflects the carelessness and rebellious spirit of style.
Makeup in the style of grunge is bold, attracting attention and going against public opinion. The most common option is smoke in dark shades with a wet effect. Simultaneously with the emphasis on the eyes, an obvious rough contouring of the face is made. For everyday life, makeup is not applied at all, or an alternative smoki is made in gray, brown, pinkish shades. You can also just thickly bring the lower eyelid with a black pencil - you will get grunge makeup without unnecessary effort. Hairstyle – the more casual, the better. Looking at the hair, it feels like you've just gotten out of bed. Loose disheveled hair, casual braids, tails, tufts will do.
Grunge for men retains all the same principles of layering and negligence. The typical wardrobe of a man dressed in grunge style consists of:
All elements of clothing are in dim colors, calm, without unnecessary expressiveness and gloss. For accentuation, you can use pendants, chains, baubles and bracelets.
