Vintage nuanced grunge is expressed softly and in a daily wearable manner, not too messy. Styles that seem naturally worn out from frequent use rather than deliberately sought out and purchased are trendier. Colors like baby blue, pink, khaki, green, and denim blue create a soft vintage effect, with orange red, mustard green, and black used as accents or to inject a modern atmosphere.    

A grunge denim set is proposed. The blue denim is dyed, washed, or painted to look like it's stained with mud. Additionally, even without a deliberately dirtied effect, very light washed bright denim can give the impression of being faded from long wear. The base denim typically uses lighter rather than darker colors to create a soft feel. Trucker jacket sets are most common, with variations like sleeve zip-ups or miniskirts. 

Due to the wide variety of washing effects, there are denim items that can be tried with new effects instead of washing effects. The effect of tearing is becoming more diverse, but instead of tearing, it is possible to overlay and attach different fabrics, use a solution to dissolve only certain areas, or attach materials of different colors. This style can give the impression of using recycled materials, but in reality, it tends to increase the production cost significantly. 


Grunge effect knit sweaters and zip-ups are being proposed. They can be dyed in a blotchy manner, washed post-dyeing to create a mottled effect, or utilize different textures and yarns. For instance, as seen in the first cut by Diesel, images from other items can be woven in, or as in the second cut by Maison Margiela, a splatter effect resembling mud splashes can be created.
