Embroidering patches on to your clothes is a way to create unique wardrobe pieces, for a look that truly sets you apart from the crowd. You probably remember this trend from the 90s and it’s a fun and fashionable way to get nostalgic and relive your childhood. Patches are a quirky addition to any outfit which enable you to express your personality via your clothing. But it’s also important not to go over the top with this trend – keep the rest of your outfit simple to avoid clashes.
Why Buy It When You Can DIY It
There’s a whole range of clothing with attached patches in store now, but why not personalize your existing clothes with patches you’ve picked out yourself? It’s so easy to DIY with iron-on patches available, and you won’t ever have that awkward situation of wearing the same clothes as someone else.
- Add a couple of statement patches strategically placed or go all out for maximum impact.
- There are so many different possibilities you could choose, from words and slogans, symbols, childhood cartoon characters or your favourite band. You could mix and match or pick a theme and stick to it.
- For a grown-up take on the trend, add a couple of floral themed patches for a more subtle look.
With endless combinations possible, this trend is one we can’t wait to have fun with. Let us know how you will be wearing the patch trend this season!
