Edgy + feminine is the perfect style blend IMO

My go-to formula is either edgy bottoms + feminine top or feminine bottoms + edgy top.

If I lean more into a feminine or chic outfit like I did here, I make sure my outerwear and shoes give me an edgier vibe!

How do you balance these two styles as a grunge babe?

uhh where did march go?!

Last month was a whirlwind of soft grunge, dark academia, and dark feminine fits!

I tried lots of different looks, but one thing stayed the same, and that’s LAYERS. Layering is truly your best friend!

I’m excited to show you the outfits coming in April for you soft grunge babes 🫶

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm

Did you know you could style a button-down like this??!

AND we’re playing with color!

Wearing your button-down shirt this way is the perfect way to spice up your soft grunge work outfit!

Boring office fits are out, and cool ones with personality like these are in!

Yes, you can look cool and professional at the same time 🙌

Don’t forget to save this so you can reference it later!! 🫶

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

The scarf as a belt is the star of the show 💫

It’s got a little y2k vibes sprinkled in, too! But the scarf adds the pop of color this look needed to give it some personality.

And raw hem flare jeans? It’s a grunge girl’s dream!

Mixing it up is always fun, so why not try it out?

Save this video so you don’t lose it for soft grunge outfit inspo!

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm

Lace is always a yes IMO

Casual date night outfits are tough to master, because how do you keep it fun and leveled up while still keeping it casual??

But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Raw hem jeans, docs, lace, and corset top? It gives you something to play with!

Save this look for your next casual date!

#LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

I’m not buying new tops, I’m doing this instead 💃🏻

Layering like this = instantly edgier (& cooler!)

Soft grunge but make it effortless

Save this for your next outfit 🫶

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

If your spring outfits feel boring, do this 💚

This started off as a basic maxi dress but the cinched waist + shirt + combat boots brought the edge!

Proof you don’t need new clothes, just better styling 🫶

Happy spring & happy styling!

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm

a whole new skirt + no chafing?

this changes everything 🙌

#LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

I thought this outfit was going to be a fail until it became one of my favorites 🙌

Romantic on the bottom in a tiered midi skirt yet edgy on the top in a band t-shirt. Aka the perfect soft grunge outfit!

Did this pass the vibe check?? Comment ‘yes’ if it did 💃🏻

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Date night, but make it alt girl 🖤

This outfit started as a simple t-shirt dress, but the layers did all the work:
lace sleeves, a waist belt, and a teal pleated skort for that pop of color.

Finished with floral tights + combat boots for the ultimate grunge girl date night look.

Edgy, flattering, and easy to recreate.

Save this for your next date night fit ✨

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize

Who said office outfits had to be boring??

This look proves they definitely don’t.
It’s polished enough for work but still has personality — aka the perfect balance.

Being professional doesn’t mean hiding your style.

Save this outfit & repeat for different shirts and skirts! 💃🏻

#LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize #LTKdayinmylife

Idc what anyone says spring is here! But the grunge spirit is sticking around 🙌

This is the perfect transitional outfit when it’s warm enough to feel like spring but definitely not tank-top weather yet.

It’s fun, playful, and giving girl next door vibes.

Happy spring!
Save this outfit so you can come back to it later 🫶

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

Grunge girls 🤝 dark academia girls

This is what happens when you mix the two.

Relaxed trousers, moody florals, layered pieces, and just enough structure to keep it polished.

Honestly, this might be one of my faves! Save it for later 🙌

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

The easiest soft grunge outfit formula 🖤

If you ever stare into your closet thinking “I have nothing to wear,” this combo always works:

Oversized button-down
Tank layered on top
Textured trousers
Chunky boots

It’s comfortable, a little moody, and gives that effortless cool-girl energy without trying too hard ✨

Save this for the next time you need an easy outfit idea!

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

This outfit is the literal definition of dark feminine energy ✨

The coolest part? It’s actually a maxi dress! I pulled up the sides, tucked it into the belt, and suddenly she’s a dark feminine mini.

It’s what edgy chic dreams are made of 🫶

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize

If you don’t own plaid pants yet, this is your sign!

This dark academia x soft grunge outfit is subtly rebellious (yes, the vest is intentionally half unbuttoned)

It’s polished enough for the office but still has that cool-girl edge 💁🏻‍♀️

Plaid pants + a little sass = 10/10 vibes

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

Break out the band tees 🙌

This is your reminder that being 30+ doesn’t mean giving up your band tees or toning down your style.

You don’t have to outgrow your aesthetic, you get to evolve it.

Consider this your soft grunge band tee outfit inspiration 🫶

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Double skirt alert!

Layering skirts might sound chaotic… but this dark academia x soft grunge combo just works.

Texture on texture. Structure on structure.

And honestly? It makes winter outfits way less boring.

Would you try it or is this too bold? 🧡

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

Uhhh who knew you could make the cutest funky soft grunge outfit like this??

You can make a completely new skirt (and look) by adding a button down underneath a mini skirt!

The vibe is giving fun, quirky, and one-of-a-kind. My favorite part is the collar laid over top of the mini skirt.

Would you try this??! Give me a 💃🏻 in the comments if you would!

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Did someone say main character energy??

It’s got that undone and unbothered look that just feels so effortlessly cool.

And can we talk about not just how great this sweater is, but also how well it works layered over a ruffle mini dress?!

It’s such an easy + fun casual soft grunge outfit to recreate! Don’t forget to save so you can come back to it 🤎🙌

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize

Sheer tops are SO underrated!

This one is giving this outfit life, and it’s the casual soft grunge vibe I didn’t know I needed.

The coolest part is that I made this sheer top a crop by tucking it under my bra and it made all the difference when layering the beige linen top over it!

It’s an everyday look that is fun and edgy in every way 🙌

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKvlog

It’s a feminine & romantic vibe that’s still got some edge 🖤

This look is giving glam grunge, with some help from the safety pin I used to add some dimension to this beautiful lace maxi skirt.

Whether you celebrate love by yourself, with friends, or with a partner this weekend, may your love affair with grunge be part of it 🫶

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKValentine

This outfit is a love letter to yourself 💓✨

It’s edgy but romantic, soft grunge but dark academia; it’s divinely feminine and a celebration of the beautiful body you live in!

Plus, when is a corset ever a bad idea?! It’s forever a must & gives me the romantic vibe I’m going for when I’m in the mood.

Too feminine? Make it edgier by swapping out a skirt for ripped jeans and the oxfords for docs!

Happy love week! Xoxo

#LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

Who said you can’t wear summer tops in the winter??

I’m obsessed with this cami (a go-to top in the summer) & I’m all about wearing your clothes year-round!

All those camis and cute little tops? Try them over light sweaters and long-sleeve shirts and dresses!

You never know what you can create to look absolutely 🔥 this winter 🤗

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

A moody, yet elevated play on soft grunge & dark academia?? Count me in! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I love blending styles, and also giving accessories new jobs!

This satin scarf is giving tie today, and it adds a fun (& pop of color) to this look!

Such an easy outfit to recreate & repeat again and again 🖤

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

Basics + statements + accents = your soft grunge winter outfit formula

The secret sauce is layers, layers, layers! It can really turn an “I don’t have anything to wear!” into an “Omg this is SO cute!”

Guess what this also means? You don’t have to have the latest and trendiest clothes to look and feel absolutely FIRE 🔥

Save this for when you need a reminder that you have everything in your closet to rock a killer outfit this winter 💙

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Every grunge girl needs a dark and moody fit, am I right??

If you lean into the vibes of artists like Lana del Rey , Arctic Monkeys, and The Marías, then this one’s for you.

Not only do the colors make this a dark and moody fit, but the knee-high stockings, mini skort, and top do as well. It’s giving sexy grunge glam and I’m all about it!

The best part? I took a jacket and turned it into a top by using a cinch wait belt. Never underestimate what you can do with a great belt! 🙌

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize

Grunge is forever 🖤

When you want to take it back to 90’s grunge, think band tees, ripped jeans, and combat boots.

It’s now a classic combination, but you can always add some flair like I did with these acid wash flare jeans, oversize blazer, and statement sunnies!

This is one way to take this iconic style and add some flair to it! How would you make this your own?

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

The everyday soft grunge look you can replicate again and again.

These are my go-to pieces: cute & comfy jeans, layered tops and jackets, and combat boots. Tried and true combinations if you ask me!

The everyday look is about wearing the clothes that make you feel the most like yourself. The most confident you, in a casual setting.

So go forth, you soft grunge queens! The everyday waits for no one. And with layers and confidence, who’s gonna stop you??! 👏

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm

Raise your hand if you can’t stop buying black clothes 🙋🏻‍♀️

A grunge girl loves to wear black, and sometimes even all black! What makes an all-black outfit stand out, though, is texture.

Check out the mix of different textures in this cute soft grunge outfit! Lots of dimension and lots of dark and moody vibes.

Save this fit for later when you need inspo for your next all-black alt style look! 🖤

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Want to wear more soft grunge outfits in 2026? I got you!

Soft grunge is all about blending the edginess of things like ripped jeans or chokers with the softness of more feminine aspects like fitted tops or skirts.

This is the sweet spot! I love this soft grunge fit because it’s a great casual look for the everyday grunge girl.

The best part? You get to make soft grunge your own unique blend of edgy and feminine. And if you need more inspo, check out the blog for more fun looks!

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Maximize your closet by styling out of the box (like this dress I turned into a skirt!)

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize

The statement top that’s doing all the talking (& how to style it)

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm

Level up your basics, but make it grunge

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

Being “too much” is the point: dress boldly in 2026

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKSeasonal

This is what wearing your clothes year-round looks like 💃🏻
