“Indie Sleaze”
This is how the look succeeds in chaos chic
Casual, loud, rocky: the “indie sleaze” look looks wild and uncontrolled, but is exactly as desirable. This is how the style works today.
This summer the minimalist “Clean Girl” look has a break. The stage belongs again to the controlled chaos: the “Indie Sleaze” aesthetics is back. Originally a fashion and music movement of the 2000s and the 2010s, the trend captures the style in which grunge, punk and the beginnings of the tumblr era come together. At first glance, the look looks anything but well styled. The outfits are moody, casual and imperfect – even if each part is precisely tailored to the other. This is how the look works today.
Jenny Humphrey loved the “Indie Sleaze”
In addition to fashion greats such as Kate Moss (51) and Alexa Chung (41), Taylor Momsen (32) also shaped the look-in their “Gossip Girl” role as Jenny Humphrey. Rocky-cheeky outfits made of oversized flannel jackets combined with long sweaters, a net tights and boots were their fashionable trademark and made the trend visible.
Moms stays loyal to the style. For a black oversize jacket, she wears a dark sweater, striped shorts and combat boots. Several silver chains and large sunglasses make the look perfect. The hair? It is best to be unconcerned or styled into a voluminous hairstyle. The make-up is welcome to be bleak, Smokey Eyes are a must.
Wild party outfits
The “Indie Sleaze” style is inextricably connected to one. The following also applies here: the more laying and the more noticeable, the better. The basic aesthetic remains the same, but gets something wicked. A Leo coat made of faux for a floral satin dress in gray, including a colorful, torn tights or coarse-mesh mains tights. Chains in a layering look, a chunky handbag, black boots and red lipstick give the look the finishing touch.
Band shirts are a must-have
At the “Indie Sleaze” trend hand in hand – music and fashion go in hand – the perfect chance of staging your favorite band shirt. An XXL shirt can be converted into a dress with a belt or worn with microshorts and leggings. Ballerinas, but also worn converse or vans. A leather jacket and statement rings give the look even more character. It is particularly authentic with shirts from indie bands like Arctic Monkeys, MGMT or The Strokes.
