Thrift store shic became popular in fashion during the late 1980s and early 1990s as the grunge movement grew.[1] Thrift store fashion was seen as an anti-fashion statement.[1] The clothes were cheap and were often vintage throwbacks.[1]

Singers like Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love and Eddie Vedder all seemed to sport the anti-fashion, thrift store chic look in the mid '90s. Love's babydoll dresses became her trademark and a sought-after piece in thrift stores. Flannel shirts, polyester pants and everything in between became "chic" without trying to.

In the late 1990s and into the 2000s, thrift store chic became more associated with the indie rock and emo scene and the closely related hipster movement.

Thrift store chic is also very popular with DIY (do-it-yourself) fashionistas.
