45 Authentic Grunge Style – Comfortable and Original Outfits for Men
Grunge style first appeared in late 80’s and early 90’s, following the fashion styles of bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The look is working class, all about being non-conformist and comfortable. Staples of this fashion include oversized vests and shirts, high top shoes, distressed or torn denim, scuffed boots, and flannel – lots of flannel! It reflects a “don’t care” attitude and is comfortable and easy to wear. Let’s look at how to style grunge outfits for men.
