What is womens edgy fashion? Well, it’s a number of things! Edgy fashion isn’t a particular clothing type, but rather taking elements of fashion and adding them to an otherwise basic outfit. These elements could be jewellery, a handbag, sunglasses, anything that elevates your look.
But there are a few versions of edgy, so let’s break them down.
Edgy chic would be considered a more conservative outfit. For example, any classic Pinterest outfit. We’re talking the little black dress, black tights and classic court heels. A way to elevate that look and make it ‘edgy’ would be to add stacked rings, layered necklaces and really go all out with the accessories.
This style isn’t always considered ‘edgy’, but as fashion evolves, so too does the terminology. Nowadays, edgy is very much a way of styling as opposed to the clothing itself.
Edgy 90s fashion is pretty much exactly what we are seeing in the return of Y2K fashion! It’s colourful, its iconic, it’s everything the 90s were. Think Clueless, but with Dior saddle bags and hair beads. As the 90s fashion trends return in full force, it’s interesting to see a new generational take on it.
90’s edgy fashion was coined by icons such as Gwen Stefani and other 90s pop stars. But as a new generation adds their take to this iconic style, we see new elements coming on top of the classic, vintage pieces, such as chunky trainers paired with skater skirts.
This is the epitome of ‘edgy’. Rock chick meets fashion icon. If we were to put a face to edgy grunge fashion, we would probably say Avril Lavigne. Arguably, the queen of grunge fashion. Now, gone are the fish net tights and cargo pants, but still going strong are the iconic band tees and ripped jeans, as well as the eyeliner and space buns and for that we are grateful!
