Menswear icon · early 1990s

Dress like Kurt Cobain

From the clothes you already own.

Grunge: worn-in layers, cardigans and flannel, deliberately undone.

What you might already own

The pieces

Tick what you already own. Nothing is saved.

The palette

  • olive
  • mustard
  • faded black
  • red check
  • denim blue

The rules

  1. 01Layer loose over loose
  2. 02Worn, thrifted textures
  3. 03Nothing matched on purpose

Leave out

  • Pressed, polished pieces
  • Tailoring

Wear it your way.

Photograph your clothes, pick Kurt Cobain as a style reference, and ask for a look in their style. Capsule puts it together from what you own, says why it works, and names the one or two kinds of piece that would bring you closer.

Try it with your wardrobe

Capsule has no connection with Kurt Cobain or their estate. This page describes a well-documented way of dressing.
