GRUNGE FASHION STYLE
Grunge style is all about leaving the tailored and form-fitting style behind; dressing in a loose, androgynous manner to de-emphasize the silhouette.
This edgy, rebellious style originated from the grunge music genre and subculture that emerged in the mid-80s in Seattle. It was popularised by the music bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. It became widely popular in the '90s.
