Indie sleaze is the messy 2000s and 2010s indie aesthetic of American Apparel, flash photography, and deliberate dishevelment, celebrating an unpolished and party-focused nightlife. Skinny jeans cover the bottoms. Racer-back tanks and vintage band tees make up the tops. American Apparel basics and spandex fill the gaps. Leggings get worn as pants, with ballet flats or high-top Converse below.
