Having already entered the month of May, summer is set to raise the temperature in full swing. Styling up the kids becomes tricky for the parents amidst the scorching heat outside. Understanding that summer is the time when kids set out on their own adventures, keeping the attire casual as much as possible ensures that clothes do not come in the way of kids’ recreation.
Swati Saraf, President, Les Petits shares, “Adopting casual clothes, parents can ace the look with grunge fashion that comes with the ability to create a statement in the summer. Based on the mid-1980s Seattle fashion, it embraces the summer season by creating contrasting undertones with its unique style. At the same time, grunge fashion bodes well for the warmer months as it is durable and timeless which greatly emphasizes comfort. Donned in a loose, androgynous manner that de-emphasizes silhouette, it allows children to move freely. Along with this, it is easy to wear which reduces the struggles of dressing up. Grunge fashion is a must for a functional and a versatile wardrobe.”
It somewhere disintegrates the stereotypes of dressing boys and girls in a particular way. The fashion is gender-neutral which does not conform to the typical ‘pink for girls and blue for boys’ concept. Understanding the various nuances of grunge suitable for the summer season, let’s look at how to style up for the season casually.
In case the parents are at a loss, wondering how to create a grunge look, going for soft and oversized tees in shades of black and grey is the easiest way to adopt the durable and compelling fashion. Layering it up is one of the simplest tricks to create an impressive cool look.
1. Flannel Shirt
Flannel is essential in setting up the grunge wardrobe. It is versatile that can be paired in countless styles to create miscellaneous looks. It can easily transform the kid into a rockstar, rejuvenating the rock music genre of the 1980s. One can either layer a tee under a flannel shirt while tucking it under the ripped jeans, or they can even layer a tank top over the tee, wearing a side flannel around the waist. Parents can further elevate the look with a multi-colored or spliced pattern for achieving the maximum grunge look.
2. Cross long-sleeve layered T-shirt
One can produce the classic grunge appearance by layering a tee over a long-sleeve top. It can visually pique the crowd’s interest by pairing shades of pastels with darker grey.
3. Shrunken cotton graphic tee
It can simply be called a cropped version of the tee that can be easily matched with high-waisted jeans or mini-skirts. For a more authentic vintage feel, wash the tee a couple of times to soften the fabric for a more casual look.
4. Denim
Denim is a must-have for donning a relaxed look that seamlessly aligns with the resurgence of the grunge style. Wearing ripped jeans with an oversized tee invariably complement each other and brings out the easy-going style seamlessly. Looking at the rising lure for a casual look, children these days are donning grunge fashion with sheer confidence. Boding well for a cool vibe, it is a go-to summer fashion that complements the season with contrasting undertones of darker shades.
