The late actor and activist's laid-back looks embodied the spirit of 90s youth and informed the era's grunge style.

In Rob Reiner’s 1986 classic, arguably the most influential coming-of-age movie ever made, River Phoenix found his breakout role. Playing Chris, a misunderstood 12-year-old with a penchant for foul language and smoking cigarettes, he slipped into the Hollywood sphere thanks to his wiser-than-his-years performance. Throughout the film’s runtime, he wears the same outfit: a grubbied white T-shirt, high-waisted, rolled up blue jeans and dirty Chuck Taylors.

Stand By Me_’s success, River’s road to fame was already well-paved. He was on-set for a fugitive family film called _Running On Empty — one that would eventually earn him an Oscar nomination — when photos of this outfit were taken. Indicative of his fashion sense that favoured loose formality and thrifted pieces, he wore a deep-necked black T-shirt underneath a blue and white pinstriped suit jacket. This look also acts as one of the actor’s greatest glasses moments too; these rounded frames soon became a staple of many River outfits that followed.Throughout his life, River was a keen vegan and animal rights activist.
