Grunge style in clothes - the history of becoming

Grunge (in translation from English "dirt", "abomination"), as an independent style, was formed relatively recently - in the 80-90s of the last century and, originally was a direction of rock music. But since the beginning of the rapidly growing group of "Nirvana" Kurt Cobain began appearing on television and pages of glossy magazines in the late 80s, his manner of dressing was enthusiastically taken up by the youth audience. A checkered flannel shirt, worn jeans and sneakers, stretched sweaters from the elements of "antimode" suddenly turned into a fashionable and not cheap outfit for young, and not very young people, eager for self-expression. And the official "legalization" on the fashion podiums originated style after the presentation of designer Marc Jacobs in 1992. Grunge style "went to the people" and ... eventually lost its protest essence. Grunge clothes began to sew out of expensive fabrics, and grunge scarlet t-shirts - sold for several hundred dollars.

Grunge 2014 - style features

So, what distinguishes modern clothes in grunge style? Here are the main points:

  1. Practicality and comfort in this style prevail over external attractiveness.
  2. A distinctive feature of the style is eclecticism, that is, a combination of traditionally incompatible things: chiffon skirts with voluminous sweaters, lace with leather, external seeming negligence with high quality materials.
  3. Another characteristic feature of the style is the multilayeredness. The original stylistic tradition of wearing a shirt over a turtleneck, and also a denim or leather jacket with a long knitted scarf is still topical to this day.
  4. Accustomed negligence - stylistically the main feature of grunge, finds its embodiment in such elements as holes and patches, arrows on kapron products, elongated threads and loops on woolen and knitted things.
  5. In terms of color solutions, natural (both dark and light) tones are welcome, a cage, a fine floral print with a general "wiping", an artificial aging of tones.

At the same time, we should not forget that grunge clothing is suitable only for internally uninhibited, independent people.
