Flannel shirts, ripped up jeans and a generally dishevelled, "couldn't care less" kind of look characterised the 90s grunge trend, which started with the Seattle music scene, and bands like Nirvana, and Peal Jam, and then moved into the mainstream, as fashion trends are wont to do. For women, long skirts worn with heavy workboots or Chuck Taylors, band t-shirts, long, centre-parted hair and the ubiquitous flannel shirt tied around the waist were de rigueur.
