This season's turn to all things '90s nostalgic has us looking for ways to make that Kurt Cobain aesthetic work beyond the concert venues and the downtown street scene. Think of it as "grown-up grunge," a more sophisticated take on the standout trends that you most closely associate the '90s with — namely plaid, mixed prints, beat-up Converse, ripped denim, and slouchier tied-waist silhouettes. With 3.1 Phillip Lim and Dries van Noten's Spring collections providing serious styling inspiration — OK, we also referenced Saint Laurent's Fall '13 lineup, too — we promise this is a grunge look that even the girlier set will want to try. Click through for three ways to wear it now.
This look brought us right back to our Nirvana-loving, hacky sack-playing, Doc Marten-wearing high school days. Fab reader

Even though the "girly girl with edge" trend has been going strong for quite some time, I'm loving the fresh spin it's taken this season. The look is great for those style schizophrenia days when you feel like being feminine and tough at the same time. This week, I want you to style me up with a sweet-but-strong look that clashes hard and soft. Think chiffon, leather, and lace –– and don't be shy with accessories. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
