DIY: Patched Denim Jacket

Posted on July 14, 2016August 7, 2018 by mjtrimming

If you saw our previous post, you would know that we love the new (old) 90s inspired embroidered patches trend. It’s such a DIY-able project, we just had to make our own patched jacket. From runway to street style, this trend is the perfect way to express yourself and we’ll show you how.

What you’ll need:

Patches of your liking

Pins

A Denim Jacket

An Iron

1. Place the patches where want them on the jacket. Pin them to keep them in place.

2. Add more patches. Use them to tell a story.

3. Once you have them all in place, see if you like the overall effect.

4. Fix them to the jacket by ironing them on. Place a teflon sheet or a cotton cloth over the patch and apply heat till they’re secure.

Fashion moves forward by looking back. This time, the reminiscence of brands like Phillip Lim, Gucci, Alice and Olivia, Valentino and Marc Jacobs, brings us ultra cool, delightfully unique, patched outfits. Retrofitting everything from jackets to playsuits with patches that are cheeky, rebellious or just plain adorable (think unicorns) unearthed this easy DIY-able trend of the 90s, much to our delight. We dare you to resist the urge to make your own patched jackets or jeans after looking at these fine examples of ‘patching’:

Spring Hair Trend Inspiration

Looking to upgrade your current ‘do? Take a tip from the 2015 Spring catwalks, and imitate some of the hottest runways styles! From metal hardware to real red roses, this season’s styles are sure to have something for everyone!

Adding an edge of gold to your hairstyle can add a dose of glamour to your look, and adds interest to messy hair.

Flowers and hair are almost a match made in heaven! Whether they’re made of leather or picked straight from the garden, they add a natural touch to your style.

Barrettes are anything but boring when you add beading, gemstones and the like. Add them to a pony or loose chignon to finish off a basic hairstyle.

Trend Alert: Culottes

Posted on April 9, 2015August 7, 2018 by M&J Trimming

Skinny jeans have been the stand-by pant silhouette for years now, and while they are a staple in our closet, sometimes we need a pant that’s a little more roomy. Enter culottes. These wide-legged cropped pants are making a comeback baby! Not only are they chic, they’re also one of the first types of pants to be acceptably worn by women because they were shaped like a skirt, while giving women the freedom to ride horseback astride a saddle. We love this style because it’s versatile, unique and modern; and we know you’ll be seeing it everywhere this spring!

Much like fringe, flowing maxi dresses in bohemian patterns and prints are taken right out of the 1970s. What we love about this trend? It will keep you feeling cool and looking foxy.
