If you’ve been on fashion TikTok, you’ve likely come across some creators rocking the Fairy Grunge style. Yes, our fantasies are about to come to life in the form of fashion! According to Aesthetics Wiki, Fairy Grunge is basically a mix between Fairy Core (a fantasy-themed aesthetic that centers predominantly around fairy and elf mythology) and Grunge (a darker and edgier style that has its roots in the 1990s hard rock scene). Today, we will be looking at the essential clothing items you need to build your very own Fairy Grunge wardrobe!
Before we get into the essentials of Fairy Grunge, we want to highlight that some of the styles may overlap with Cottage Core, which you can read all about here!

Skirts and Dresses
