If the recent General Pants Co. A/W showings are anything to go by, then we are in for a grungy (but totes trendy) street style for the next six to eight months!
To get you up to speed with exactly what’s meant when we say ‘Grunge’ – it’s definitely the 21st Century version where we actually wash our hair and have a shower after we have ‘rolled out of bed’ – the trick is we wear designer digs and use products to purposely make it look like we have bed hair. The other obvious difference being that we smell like Chanel or Dolce & Gabanna. Genius.
Model and Instagram phenomenon, Cara Delvinge, along with other supermodels have given this trend its place on the nostalgia timeline. The ladies can be seen wearing it almost every single time they are spotted off the runway or outside a print editorial – the gorgeous trendsetters are opting for cool and comfy.
Embrace being free spirited, carefree and cool with an off-duty look that is made up of relaxed knits, lots of denim, ankle boots, men’s t-shirts, maxis and flannelette.
Don’t be afraid to layer, mix and match patterns or wear a snapback hat or beanie as the weather cools down. Another great thing about the Grunge Trend is that you can add designer or girly pieces to your ensemble to suit your personality and/or lifestyle.
