Grunge in Dress To Impress, the Roblox fashion game, means plaid, black and washed-out dark colors, chunky boots, messy hair, and smudged makeup. Your grunge DTI look comes from recoloring, not from a special grunge item, so the two outfits below use free pieces from the Dressing Room plus one pattern tile that sits far down the list. More themes are in the Dress To Impress themes guide.
Quick answer: Pair the top-shelf sarong in the brown tartan pattern with a black crop top and chunky black platform boots, or wear the white fitted mini recolored dark gray and black with black work boots.
Where Dress To Impress keeps faces, hair, and clothes
| What | Where | How to open |
|---|---|---|
| Faces | Lana’s Salon, right arch | Sit at a vanity, press E |
| Hair | Lana’s Salon, left arch | Sit in a hair chair, press E |
| Clothes and shoes | Dressing Room | Teleport pin, top left |
| Runway | Freeplay Runway | Teleport pin |
The hair chairs sit under the hood dryers. Their Hairstyles panel has tabs for Feminine, Masculine, Bangs, Curly, Straight, Wavy, Updo, Locs, Braids, and Afro. On the Teleport pin, pick “Dressing Room” for clothes or “Freeplay Runway” to walk the finished look.

Click a piece to preview it. While it previews, the arrows step through its parts, and the panel labels each one, such as “1/1: Sarong”, “1/2: Top”, “2/2: Straps”, or “1/4: Preview”. For each part, choose a Palette color, a Patterns tile, or a material on the “+” tab. Leather is one of the free materials. Then press Put On, the heart-and-tick button to the left of the panel.
Find plaid among the Patterns tiles rather than as a separate item. Scroll roughly two dozen notches through the Patterns grid to reach the brown-and-cream tartan, beside a tile with red and white stripes. Choosing the tartan overrides any Palette color on that part; its brown-and-cream colors stay as they are.
Further toward the top of Patterns, you’ll find more plaid-like designs, such as a pastel plaid and a houndstooth in black and white.

Grunge skin and smoky face card (both looks)
Use the same skin and face for both outfits. At the Skin Tones booth, open Skin and select the very pale swatch in the first row’s second position. Then, at a Lana’s Salon vanity, open Feminine and choose the card in the second row’s third spot. Its smoky-gray eyes, gray lips, and subtle dark crack lines create a smudged, worn-out appearance.
Look 1: Tartan wrap mini with platform boots
Start with the two-piece set on the party-dress unit’s upper shelf: a strappy crop top paired with a wrap sarong skirt.






From behind, the shag, tartan skirt, and boots all read clearly.

The Dazzle pose suits it.

You’ll know the outfit is complete when the Wearing panel lists all four pieces, the hair, sarong, top, and boots.

Look 2: Gray slip dress with combat boots
For this look, use a separate garment: the fitted white mini with puff sleeves on the party-dress shelf below.



The puff sleeves don’t show once the dress is recolored, so the finished piece reads as a sleeveless slip.


From behind, you see the long hair, gray mini, and black boots.

The Satin pose shows the full figure.

Grunge DTI questions
How do I get plaid in DTI for Grunge?
With a garment preview open, go to Patterns to apply the design. Look deep in the list for the brown tartan, alongside a tile showing red and white stripes.
How do I do grunge DTI without VIP?
Both looks are free. Every piece, color, pattern tile, and material above, including Leather, costs no Robux and no in-game cash.
What shoes work for Grunge?
Chunky black platform boots, or the tan lace-up work boots recolored black.
What hair and makeup fit Grunge?
A messy shag from the Masculine tab or long straight hair from the Straight tab, paired with the smoky gray face card from the vanity’s Feminine tab.
Is Grunge the same as the 1990s theme?
They’re related, since grunge is a 90s style, but they’re separate themes. The 1990s theme guide has more 90s looks beyond plaid and black.
