With these ±50 items you can create countless (or around 120.960) of 2014 Tumblr Soft Grunge outfits!
Tops:
- Simple black and white tops in different shapes, like the American Apparel ones pictured. A simple black and white t-shirt is also always good to have.
- Tops with a design. Especially horizontal black and white stripes and grids are a need!
- Band merch! Arctic Monkeys is the most popular one, but e.g. The 1975, The Neighbourhood and Nirvana are also good!
- The alien shirt! I think everyone remembers this one, the OG is from Brandy Melville, but there are a lot of remakes.
- A top with a Japanese word, I found these on Pinterest, but you can find a word that you like :)
- Flannels. Go for a dark colour like grey, green or red. Wear it as usual or around the waist.
- A jean jacket, usually a little baggy. Vintage Levi's are a good option, but any brand works.
Sets:
- Another popular outfit is the Lulu set from American Apparel, this one was available in several designs, but for the soft grunge look we're looking for the black and white versions. Like the ones pictured.
Bottoms:
- Pleated tennis skirts! Specifically from American Apparel, the black and white ones are a must! One with a plaid print is also good to have, especially when the rest of the outfit is a bit plain and you want that little extra.
- Jean shorts, preferably a bit baggy. Washed out denim, grey tints and black are great options.
- Jeans! I'll make a separate list here.
Jeans:
- 2 pairs of blue denim baggy jeans (preferably a bit of a lighter shade). 1 ripped and 1 not.
- 2 pairs of black baggy jeans. Again, 1 ripped and 1 not.
- 1 pair of black skinny jeans.
Shoes:
Shoes are usually black, but white is also seen.
- Chunky heels, like the ones from UNIF.
- Platform sneakers, Buffalo is a good brand for that.
- A pair of black Dr. Martens. High ones are the most versatile in my opinion, but the low ones are cute too.
- Black High Top Converse All-Stars are a must. Checkered ones are nice as well.
- And so are the classic Checkered Vans slip ons.
- Nike Air Force 1, in black and/or white.
- Black creepers.
Accessoires:
- Fishnet tights! You can get them in different sizes :) you can also get fishnet socks
- Kneehigh socks! Get 4 different ones so you have a bit of versatility. 2 plain in black and white, 2 with stripes, so black with white stripes (like the one pictured) and white with black stripes.
- Chokers! There are many different designs but the tattoo choker is iconic! A plain black one is the other most important one. If you got those two you're free to get any choker you like! Not before that tho >:)
- Crystal necklaces, you know? THOSE ones :) in silver obvi
- A beanie for the winter. A black one with white stars or text maybe? It's up to you :)
- Black and white tote bags, specifically The American Apparel cities bag and the one with 'This Bag Contains [some illegal stuff]
This all together can be very expensive, but you probably already have some things in your closet! I suggest going to thrift stores :) also, ofc you don't have to buy these brands, you can look for cheaper look a likes :)
I hope this helped you so that you can dress like THAT Tumblr girl!
