How do I wear that trend…patchwork

Nov 4, 2010 by Clueless Fashionista

Patchwork is a fall trend that can easily go from chic to costume if it isn’t done properly.  I wouldn’t suggest wearing patchwork head to toe in any capacity unless it’s for Halloween or some type of visual production. However, it is a cool trend and by wearing one patchwork piece, you can easily add a pop of color (or several colors) to your outfit. Here are some suggestions for how you can wear the patchwork trend, even you less adventurous types.

1. Accessories: This is always the easiest way to incorporate a bold trend into your wardrobe. If you get a great patchwork bag and make it your winter staple, you don’t have to worry about doing anything else patchwork. Also, a cute patchwork headband can add something special to a simple outfit.

2. Shoes: This is another easy way to incorporate a bold trend. Plus, it allows you to maintain a basic (but well fitting) wardrobe and use your shoes to pop.

3. Skirt: If you’re a little more adventurous with fashion, a great patchwork skirt like the one in the picture can be very fun. You can pair it with a solid colored top, tights and a cute pair of heels or boots.

Now these are just a few suggestions to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe. I would love to see how you do it. Please feel free to send a message using the contact form here and you will be sent the email address to share your picture.
