You’re getting closer and closer to your 20’s or you are already a busy student and suddenly, you realize you didn’t feel the thrill of a rebellious phase. But no worries! it is never too late to get stared at anxiously by the cashier or grounded by your parents. In that matter, the Grunge look, chiller than Goth and more elegant than Punk may be of your taste and here’s a few tips to feel some Kurt Cobain vibes.
1- The power of fishnet
Under a torn jean, with a long skirt or a short dress, the fishnet is a Grunge must-have. Avoid wearing pumps with it or you may loose your Rock sense. In fact, avoid wearing pumps with a Grunge outfits and prefer platforms if you like high heels.
2-Waist, waist, waist!
As the new rebel you are, favor clothes tailored at the torso. From a large Scottish trousers, a leather skirt or a torn overall, the secret is to put the emphasis on your pretty waist and to not be afraid to show your belly. If you are a little chubbier and not feel comfortable, feel free to use big belts or long hoodies to complete the look.
3-The secret of fabric
It is no surprise that dark colors are a main part of the look. Black, grey, red, navy blue…because scaring children is always pleasant. However, having a leather or a jean accessory is a big plus to add some personality to the outfit.
4-Balance between tight and loose
The main difference between Rock and Grunge -aside from music and spirit- is that grunge has a skater, chiller vibe. Thus, do not be afraid to wear over-sized sweaters or jackets: for a good-looking outfit, the tip is to balance is with a tight close. Big pants, tight shirt. Big jacket, leggings and skinny jeans. Think about being cool and comfortable!
5- Bling-bling
Do not be afraid to use and reuse accessories: original glasses are a must have, like colored, round spectacles. Chokers, silver and leather bracelets are welcomed as well. Nothing is too much as long as you look like you don’t care!
