Geek Chic is a term merged from 'geek' meaning nerd and 'chic' meaning stylish, showcasing a unique and kitschy charm by matching neat coordination with retro point items. Following the Y2K retro wave, the 1990s minimalism trend is being revisited, with Geek Chic fashion emphasizing basic details continuing its popularity into 2024.

Grunge look originates from 'grunge,' meaning dirty things like dust or grime, characterized by a comfortable and street mood with torn jeans, holey and frayed sweaters.

For those hesitant to try the Grunge look, distressed denim jackets or pants can be great starter items for achieving a funky vibe.

Vintage art print t-shirts can also offer a not-too-excessive way to express individuality and feel the grunge mood in everyday life.

Loose-fit long parkas or work jackets mixed and matched appropriately can also offer the freedom of enjoying the Grunge look.
