Billie Eilish is the modern day example of how to pull off grunge fashion.
And not only aesthetics. She’s making it work with luxury brands while showcasing a streetwear aesthetic. She’s wearing the latest hyped essentials — like Travis Scott Air Force 1s, Levi’s Jordan 4s, an array of OFF-WHITE classics — and she’s also flipping the script on what it means to be a modern-day sneakerhead.
Similar to the state of fashion today, it’s everything goes for Billie Eilish’s footwear rotation. That means it isn’t just the latest Jordan or OFF-WHITE drops. It’s also the mainstays from Balenciaga, Gucci, and VETEMENTS.
Only Oversized
One of the key methods to nailing grunge fashion is getting the proportions and aesthetics right. In this case, it’s key styles, like boxy tees, garment washed hoodies and loose fitting sweats that are all slightly oversized.
Similar to several features on Travis Scott, who also falls into the oversized clothing category, Billie Eilish mixes up the proportions to make one key piece the highlight of the entire wardrobe. Wearing grunge inspired clothing also makes it simple to pair with many of the chunky runners that are out, especially those from the higher tier designer collections.
Shorts Season
With spring finally on the horizon, Billie Eilish makes it easy to get inspired for how to dress for the upcoming warmer weather since she already has an abundance of shorts and sneaker combos.
Wearing everything from oversized shorts to neon tones, Eilish also wants you to know that she isn’t wearing just any pair of shorts. She’s wearing shorts from high-end designer labels like Louis Vuitton and Gucci. And yes, the monograms of each are printed all over just as a reminder.
Aside from just the usual go-to short pairings like Jordan 1s and 4s, Billie Eilish also mixes up the traditional pairings by opting for Don C’s Jordan Legacy 312, VETEMENTS x Reebok InstaPump Furys, and A$AP Rocky’s Under Armour SRLo.
Color Coordinated
It’s rare to not see Billie Eilish color coordinating her entire wardrobe.
If she’s wearing Murakami, she’s almost guaranteed to match it with other Murakami essentials, even if that means customizing her sneakers to match. On top of that, she’s also notorious for wearing the same brands with the same logos and matching the colors accordingly.
And when she isn’t matching head to toe, she’s probably coordinating her sneakers with an oversized tee just to stay on brand with the signature look that she’s curated over the past few years.
