Dress These Grunge-Style Dresses Up Or Down

When it comes to grunge-style dresses, always look out for the most versatile designs. That way, you can just as easily rock them with leather or denim outwear and boots as you can with heels for your after-dark plans. For example, the lingerie midi slip dress by Saint Laurent is a perfect choice. Firstly, the slinky white silk skirt perfectly contrasts the sheer black lace bust and matching lace hemline. Secondly, this dress looks amazing with heels. However, with leather boots and outerwear, it takes on a chic grunge-inspired edge that we just can’t get enough of!

Meanwhile, when it comes to the ultimate staple slip dress, the Cupro midi by St. Agni is the one. This gorgeous gray dress is perfectly suited to grunge-inspired looks so will compliment any accessories, boots, or layers you style it with. What’s more, it’s incredibly flattering and will see you through countless casual and dressy events all year round.

Go All-Out In Runway-Worthy Grunge Style Dresses

Don’t get us wrong, grunge-style dresses are perfect for your off-duty closet. However, when the opportunity arises to go all out and showcase this trend to the fullest – we say go for it! Therefore, we’re currently holding a torch for the women’s corset dress by Alexander McQueen. This glam gown demands your attention and holds it thanks to the exaggerated ruffle details that decorate the structured corset top. As for the skirt, plenty of volume and a sexy thigh-high split show off a glimpse of your legs. It’ll also showcase your choice of designer footwear. Our advice? Stay on theme and pair this darkly romantic silhouette with leather ankle boots.

Meanwhile, if exploring the romantic side of this trend has you intrigued, opt for the strapless ruffled dress, also by Alexander McQueen. First, a beautiful boned corset, voluminous skirt, and oversized ruffle trim make up this theatrical soft peach gown. From here, it’s all about the contrasting black leather accessories. Style yours with leather boots, and a black leather belt or harness for runway-ready vibes. So, either way, this dress will draw a crowd and an endless stream of compliments!
