From velvet to enamel pins to embellished jackets, we can see that this fall 2016 is filled with fun trends. Covering your outwear with patches and creating embellished jackets has been the latest fashion mania. But, guess what? This trend that we are currently obsessing over wasn’t always considered fashionable. Before, patches were only used to cover up holes in your clothes and to label military uniforms.
It wasn’t until the 70’s that embellished jackets really became popular. When hippies started to protest they decorated their jean jackets with fun patches to promote peace and love. And even though during the punk movement in the 80’s people got tired of peace and love, they didn’t get tired of embellished jackets. We started to see them on leather jackets instead jean jackets and paired with all black outfits instead of flowy skirts.

Hence, this will create the perfect chic bohemian outfit. Now, if you are trying to wear your embellished jackets on a night out, get inspired by the 80’s and wear them with an all-black outfit. As a result, you will add that pop of sparkle to that boring black cocktail dress!
