ALL IN THE DETAILS: Itching for the Stitch

October 26th, 2016 at 2:00am

When it comes to fast fashion, sometimes we forget about the beauty that comes with a detailed stitched. My favorite type of detail is beautifully stitched embroidered detail. These can often be found in places where clothes are made by hand or traditional wear for foreign countries. Seeing detailed embroidery on a casual outfit any day is quite rare these days but very possible!

This week I casually caught a glimpse of a classmate in a very on-trend fall outfit. With his cute black bomber jacket, his neutral beige pants and very fancy sneakers, he looked straight out of a fall fashion magazine! But then when I saw his Henley shirt underneath, I thought it was incredible! Around the hem and the neck, this shirt has ruffled fabric stitched in. How cute is that?

Such a beautiful addition to a classic shirt that can take it to the next level. This Henley can be dressed up or casual for class. Here we can see just throwing on a jacket makes it perfect for the cool fall weather. Every piece in this outfit is very versatile.

I think my favorite part about the embroidered detail in this shirt is that it can be a really fun DIY project! I can totally see getting a basic Henley, or any T-shirt, and adding a little scrap fabric with a handy sewing kit. Then you have this awesome unique shirt that no one else has.

Let’s bring back this beautiful detail to our clothes! Fashion is art.
