The trend started in Seattle, back in the mid ’80s and thrived well into the early ’90s. Thanks to bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains, we now know grunge to be what it is today.
These days, we’re seeing celebs like Jenna Ortega (as Wednesday and stunting on the red carpet), Olivia Rodrigo, and Billie Eilish embracing this trend. And if you want to pull it off yourself, you’ll want band tees, flannels, plaid, and all things baggy and oversized. For accessories, go for styles like chunky combat boots and studded chokers.
