If there’s a style of menswear that has outlived its own decade without it simply surviving out of nostalgia or irony, and without showing any hint of winding down, it would probably be grunge. Made popular by bands such as Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and of course Nirvana, the rugged look of jeans and a button down shirt, primarily plaid, has become the go-to outfit for just about every guy regardless if they’re in a band or not. It’s comfort that unintentionally became fashionable.
The L.A. clothing line Fear of God has updated the early 90s scene by creating darker contemporary grunge-like items that may remind you of modern fashion apparel designed by the likes of Alexander Wang and Rick Owens. Fear of God recently released their end of summer lookbook for their SS13 collection Final Delivery, with items that include a long clean tee, a fitted side-zipped plaid shirt, and a short-sleeve hoodie, all of which hold on to what made grunge so great in the first place, comfort.
