Embroidery isn’t just for granny’s tea doilies anymore. Here’s how to rock the look:

The embroidery trend is one of the hottest looks of the season. We’re seeing the look everywhere – from casual loungewear to elegant cocktail numbers. A colourful bit of stitchwork can upgrade wardrobe staples such as jeans and white shirts and take them from drab to fab!
STYLE TIPS FOR WEARING EMBROIDERY
- Don’t overdo it. Let the embroidery be the focal part of your outfit, and keep the rest simple in terms of patterns and accessories.
- Go monochrome. The embroidery trend really pops when worn with black and white.
- Explore all options. From tops to skirts, dresses to shoes and handbags – you can find embroidery on almost any garment! Do a little research and find the perfect pieces to suit your look.
