A plaid-shirt, graphic tee and wide-legged denim jeans is all you need in your wardrobe to rock a grunge look. A fashion fad with its origins in the 1980s and 90s United States’ hard rock music culture, grunge is all about the unkempt look in clothes, which largely de-emphasise the body silhouette. In 2022, one can see the revival of these aesthetics in Indian fashion markets, where ripped jeans, shirts, chunky combat boots and all kinds of baggy T-shirts rule the shopper’s mind. 

A timeless trend characterised by thrifting, comfort and durability, grunge fashion is the most perfect fit for both GenZs, who are experimental and bold, and the millennial adults, who are living away in the nostalgia of their favourite rock bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, who greatly popularised the trend with their “do not care” attitude in T-shirts, baggy denims, sweatshirts and sneakers during their live performances.
