Grunge Fashion: A fashion trend that combined styles from both hippie and punk fashion. The grunge fashion movement was driven by the rejection of the consumerist, image-obsessed style of the 1980s. Grunge clothing was baggy, torn and featured dark colours. Females had long hair, flowing skirts and punk influences like Doc Marten boots. Males kept their hair long and wore baggy pants with ripped t-shirts. The fashion was led by bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
Retro Fashion: As mainstream fashion became more uniform and globalised, young Australians prefered to shop at second-hand clothing stores to find unique, quirky clothing from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Retro fashion created a distinctive new look and also included old tie-dyed shirts, knitted cardigans, polyester dresses, leather jackets and jeans.
Sports Clothing: Many Australians wore comfortable, stretchy clothing and fleecy tracksuits. Clothing from brand-name sportswear companies like Nike and Adidas was considered highly fashionable.
Hip-hop Fashion: Derived from American rap and hip-hop artists. Hip-hop clothing featured back-to-front baseball caps and baggy trousers worn low on the waist.
