ALL IN THE DETAILS: Exposed Zippers

Whether it’s on a leather jacket, at the bottom of your jeans or the sides of your shirt, exposed zippers is the hottest detail this summer. Zippers are being placed front and center because they’re graphic, fast and of course, a great detail to any outfit! With this new exposed zipper trend detail, you now have the option of zipping up and down, criss-cross, all the way across your waist as well as up and down the sides of your shirt.

This Fashionisto did an amazing job at exposing his zippers by leaving the sides of his crewneck sweatshirt unzipped, displaying his shirt underneath. His exposed zippers are placed on the sides of his crewneck, which leads the eye and contours his physique. The Fashionisto completes his look with a pair of classic black jogger pants and Nike sneakers, which gives it more of a casual yet nifty look. The exposed zippers were no doubt the hero of his outfit and were what grabbed my attention. I guess it’s safe to say I was definitely loving the crew.

How To: How can you make your basics stand out against the crowd this summer? You can easily imitate the exposed zipper trend with a touch of your own personal style. Whether you’re rocking a pair of leather joggers, shoes or even a crewneck like the Fashionisto did, be sure your zippers are exposed and visible for everyone to see. The more unusual your zipper placement is, the more interesting your outfit will look!
