8. Grunge Style (1990s)

The grunge style of the 1990s flipped fashion’s script with its raw, rebellious edge. Flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and chunky combat boots became the signature look, inspired by influential bands like Nirvana. Grunge rejected polished, mainstream aesthetics, embracing an anti-fashion attitude that resonated with youth culture. This trend wasn’t just about clothes—it was a statement of authenticity and nonconformity. To learn more about how grunge left its mark on the decade, check out Harper’s Bazaar.
