Trendspotting: Patches

Patches are THE trend of this summer! They were hot in the 90’s and they are hot again. We already spotted them on jackets, bags and even made in to necklaces. They come in all shapes and sizes, from cute pink flamingo’s to bohemian skulls, dreamcatchers and even lipsticks with quotes.

Styling tip! If you were an item with patches keep the rest of your outfit fairly plain so it’s not overdone. Wearing a shirt with allot of patches? Then match it with a black leather jacket.

We selected some of our favourite patched items of the moment, which is your favourite?

1 Pink fruit t-shirt – The Musthaves

Feeling like DIY? There’s an endless choice in patches to pimp your fashion items yourself. Most of them are iron on but if it doesn’t have an iron layer just sow it on your outfit with a needle and thread.
