50 Modern Grunge Looks

From Faux Retro Hipsters Look Books to Megan Fox in Nylon

— January 13, 2010 — Fashion
Plaid shirts, Combat boots, slouchy backpacks and messy hairstyles are all back in style—even trend-setting celebrities like Megan Fox are adopting the look—part of the modern grunge movement that is picking up where the 90s left off.

Click through the slideshow to see a cluster of innovations that examine a few of the different ways modern grunge is staking its claim in the fashion world today.

Implications - Female shoppers are looking to make a statement with their style choices. Edgy fashions are becoming more popular than ultra-feminine ones because of their unconventional aesthetic. Designers could hone in on this desire for darker aesthetics to attract even more buyers.
