The 90's Grunge Trend



Clockwise:

Camouflage Jacket-Rokit - £26
I love camouflage. I am slowly becoming addicted too it, i already own a camouflage gilet/puffer jacket and a camouflage shirt/jacket. I have seen them everywhere, beyond retro, topman, rokit, urban outfitters and even charity shops. I got both of my peices by rummaging through my grandads wardrobe because he was a bit of a greaser back in the day ahaha. But ya search in charity shops you can get them really cheap.

Platform Lace Up's - Topshop £24 
If these were men's shoes, i would wear them, but they are from TOPSHOP and only go up to a size 8 or 9 :( and i am a 11. poo. I am loving platformed soled shoes, and i am seeing you can get loads of dupes for creepers for woman at low prices but not for men. so that's not cool.

Rock on green skull hand vest - UNIF £35 
I love this vest its really cool, but you can only buy them online from America:( but if anyone knows otherwise where you can get them please let me know. I have seen one once before in the Boutique section of Urban Outfitters in Oxford street, and they sometimes stock things there that they don't have online, so i will continue to search.

FIERCE, Metal Plague hat - Karl alley £44
I love these hats, but they retail at $69 which is £44 and that is a lot of money for just a hat. 
But check out there website, they only have 4 different styles available but i dunno i think you may be able to have one costumed?

Dip dye rucksack - Topshop £42
Too be honest £42 is a lot of money for a rucksack that you are only going to use for probably just the summer period. So i would recommend buying a cheap leather rucksack from primark, i went in there the other day and they just got these new faux leather rucksacks in for like £8, dyeing faux leather is quite a easy process and i think dip dyeing one of the ones from primark would be great and i may do a DIY on it, so il keep you guys updated on that.

Watch this video above, it's just a step by step tutorial on how to dye faux leather.

90's band tee-Rokit - £16
I am obsessed with 90's band tee's and i think they will look great this summer with denim shorts. I think i have a nirvana one somewhere-the one with the yellow cross eye smiley face. You can get them everywhere. But i would recommend to get a genuine vintage one, look at places such as charity shops, beyond retro, rokit, and the renewal section in Urban outfitters and Oxford street Topshop.

Snapback-Boy London - £30
Love this. They also do it in black and i think they have a new one in now which is black on black.
Here's the link

Concho belt - Unif £140
This belt is so £££ and i would never pay that for it, but its nice to just ogle at on a rainy day. I love on the symbols on it, crosses and eyes=Ultimate fashion indulgence.

Striped shorts-Motel-£15(Topshop sale)
These shorts [link] are very reminiscent of Riri's Talk that Talk album artwork. They are on sale atm but only have a xs so if that size, snap them up while you can.

3 eyed smiley t-shirt - Unif £34
I love this too, i just need to find a retailer that stocks them, rather than getting it from america because postage would cost a bomb.
Check out Unif's online range.

Hope you enjoyed the trend spotting post. 
Peace xxxxxx
