↓ 29 – Grunge Hairstyles

Whether male or female, the grunge style has an ‘I don’t give a damn’ aura, and so hairstyles are frequently seen clean, but shabby. The best way to achieve this look is not to bother brushing your hair in the morning. Simple. Go for a scruffy chin or shoulder-length hair.

Peeps, why not mess around with different colored hair dyes? These are seen a lot in the grunge scene, and any color is acceptable. You can accessorize with beanies or bandanas if you’re not overly happy about your hair but make sure these are dark or natural colors.

Neon and day-glow are huge no’s in the grunge spectrum. It is usually implied that the grunge look is dirty. This may be so, however, do keep personal hygiene maintained. Dirty and messy does NOT mean unclean.

↓ 28 – Grunge Makeup

What even is a grunge look without makeup. Duh, it is a big NO. Bold lips, smokey eyes, and eyeliners are a must. If you are not into the dark makeover, then you can try out soft grunge looks as well. Artwork-inspired makeup has a prominent place in grunge fashion.

↓ 27 – Ideal Tops For A Grunge Look

Grunge followers make it recognized what brands they support, and because of this, it is paramount that you buy band attire. T-Shirts and tank tops with band logos or statements on them are a must-have garment list. Build layers on this by wearing a flannel shirt over the top. Flannel shirts are a grunge favourite, and you will see band members rocking these frequently. Just like your hairstyle, these tops do not need to be pristine; in fact, the scruffier, the better. The odd rip or tear here and there is perfectly acceptable in this scene. You can get some more ideas from our post on How to Wear Graphic Tees.

You will always see grunge people in ripped or distressed jeans. This is in keeping well with the ”I don’t care” image. Grunge is about being comfortable, so wear what you feel content in. For a more girlish image go for black laddered tights and match them with a distressed denim skirt or even a token little black dress. The laddering is essential to keep the messy and rough look going.

Stockings are also a must part of grunge dressing scene. Wear them with shorts or mini skirts or with dresses but keep the jackets aloft, as in this picture leather jacket is giving a beautiful dirty look with a bandana done in a knotted style. Lots of chains and boots will do the rest.

↓ 25 – Footwear For Grunge

Grunge footwear consists of boots and shoes that cover the ankles so invest in some Doc Martens, combat boots, or even high-top sneakers. Your shoes do not need to be immaculate either so get those boots scuffed! Shiny shoes have no place in the grunge scene and will not do anything for your outfit. Flat soled shoes are ideal for daily wear and keeping you on your feet at all your favourite gigs. It’s better to say goodbye to your stilettos and create a room for clunky shoes.
