Gen Z gals like it on top — their bra, that is. And they’re resurrecting the risqué “bra-over-shirt” style to dress to impress with their breasts. “It’s indie sleaze mixed with New York City grunge and ’90s hip-hop,” vintage reseller Emma Rouge told The Post of the newly exhumed, pre-Y2K fashion trend that’s causing temperatures to rise this fall.
“Grunge girls are throwing a bra that they found in the Good Will bin over a super ripped vintage T-shirt and some baggy jeans,” continued the 20-something, owner of Rouge thrift shops on the Lower East Side. Her employees Bridget Khaw, 24, and Sophia Romulo, 20, let their cups runneth over and onto their shirts as voguish demonstrations of defiance. The backward garb, however, has received harsh backlash from cyber trolls who’ve deemed the look “stupid” and “goofy.
” But it seems keyboard criticisms can’t curb the Z-team’s wild style. “We’re in our angst era of fashion,” said Rogue with a laugh. “Gen Zs are rebelling — maybe it’s because of the election.
” The latest craze in underwear as outerwear mania , the bra-over-shirt phenomenon needs no explanation. It’s a self-explanatory eyeful. A thumb to the nose at modest society, the lusty look is a punkish product of the grunge fashion movement — the “anything goes” aesthetic that took avant-garde anarchists by storm in the mid-1990s .
The disheveled-by-design style, which rose from the shadows of late 20th century subcultures.
