GRUNGE OUTFITS
Be yourself in Levi's® iconic collection of grunge outfits in Australia
Since the 1990s, the grunge aesthetic has inspired everyday fashion. Known for its laid-back and oversized fits, grunge is all about finding a way to express yourself, influenced by the fashions of indie bands and other less mainstream trends.
From punk to soft grunge, it's a style that's open to interpretation – and one that Levi's® has been a strong player in for decades.
How to style grunge outfits
The grunge aesthetic is casual and lived-in, not polished. Build your look around a wardrobe staple like jeans and keep comfort front and centre. Women's grunge outfits often mix tight-fitting tops with baggy bottoms, while men's grunge outfits tend to mirror skater fashion with oversized tees and relaxed fitting jeans.
Loose-fitting and distressed jeans
Levi's® 501s were an unofficial uniform for 90s grunge looks, loved for their straight leg and relaxed fit. But other notable styles include distressed, baggy and super low denim, for both men and women.
Levi's® women’s staples:
- Super Baggy Barrel Jeans: A bold, comfortable shape with room to move.
- Baggy Dad Barrel Jeans: An epic vintage throwback, slouchy in the right places.
- Blue Tab Women's Moto Jeans: Refined Japanese denim, tailored to perfection.
Levi's® men’s staples:
- 514™ Straight Jeans: Versatile and streamlined for easy wear.
- 516™ Straight Jeans: Straighter than average, big on comfort.
- 568™ Loose Straight Jeans: 90s attitude with a modern fit.
Relaxed shirts and band tees
Part anti-fashion, part carefree attitude, shirts and tees that buck trends can be grunge if they're worn with confidence. Rep your favourite band or throw on an unbuttoned tartan shirt to go grunge.
Levi's® staples:
- Women's Essential Western Shirt: Cowboy fun, but make it yellow.
- Men's Red Tab Vintage T: An urban uniform to wear with pride.
Jackets and accessories
Layering is a big part of the grunge aesthetic which is why jackets and accessories, like bags and belts, matter. Anything with an unexpected detail, like a crop or unusual finish (think studs on a belt), is a fast way to turn any outfit grunge.
Levi's® women’s staples:
- Women's Shrunken '90s Trucker Jacket: Iconic 90s denim, cropped for now.
- Heritage Belt: Genuine leather you’ll keep forever.
