ALL IN THE DETAILS: Dang Denim

The recent trends featuring custom patches and pins have allowed Fashionistas and Fashionistos alike to customize their clothing. The next step in this personalization movement has sprung up in the form of embroidery. With companies such as Madewell offering custom denim designs, it is easy to show off a little more personality with your clothes. While anyone can rock a simple pair of jeans or a bomber jacket, this trend allows you to upgrade your basics in a unique way.

This Fashionista nails integrating this trend into her look. She begins by perfectly pairing a simple off the shoulder top with a thrifted suede coat. What takes her outfit to the next level is the fun, unexpected embroidery on her jeans. Not completely noticeable at first, the small sayings and symbols like a lightning bolt or heart upgrade basic denim pieces. Although altering your own pieces permanently with embroidery may seem scary, you can always test out how you feel about this concept with less permanent options like pins or semi-permanent patches. The idea is to express you in a new way.

This Fashionista completes her look with brown Birkenstocks, which gives the rest of the outfit a more casual appearance. Dangly earrings and a simple braid pull this look together and give off an effortlessly cool appearance. If you do not want to jump into this trend with both feet, start with a little design on your pocket or waistband and expand as you get more comfortable. The idea is to have fun with your clothing and make it yours!
