As the name implies, The Underground Music Showcase brought a range of alternative styles to the streets of Denver this weekend. From the rock glam of the performers to the heavy infusion of the ’90s in show-goer fashion, there was plenty of unique attitudes on display.
’90s Revival/Club Kids
The style of the ’90s was a major trend among UMS’ers. Head-to-toe denim, crop tops and muted floral patterns all made a comeback. But what stuck out most was the eccentric fashion of the Club Kid with brightly colored hair and loud makeup.

Grace and Dan. Grace’s clothes are from a thrift store but her shirt was her mother’s. “She’s had this forever,” she said.
Rock Glam
Despite the overall undertone of grunge at UMS, some sequins managed to make their way onto the outfits of a few UMS participants this year.

Australia native Chanelle mixed a variety of trends with her Adidas and Broncos baseball cap with her floral crop top and sequin skirt.
Punk
It wouldn’t be an Underground showcase unless there were at least few punks roaming around South Broadway.

Lindsay sported gaucho pants at UMS—a short-lived trend that gained popularity in America in the ’70s. But she explained she got these pants from her sister who bought them in Nepal.
