2017 Trend Alert: Embroidery on Western Wear

This is the ‘East meets West’ trend of the year which will be big all through the summer season. Forget embroidered ethnic clutches and kurtis, 2017 is looking at needlework in colourful motifs on backpacks, trench coats, belts and denim everything. Street style bloggers have paved the way for everyone on the Dos and Don’ts of this trend. Here are 5 ways to embrace this look in different outfits.

1) Denim Everything

This is denim like never seen before. From jeans to jackets, backpacks to caps, the thread embroidery is giving the staple denim look a new twist. Bringing the casual denim fabric to the limelight during spring summer 2017 with delicate embroidery. You can opt for a jacket with all over embroidery in floral motifs or you can try on shorts this summer with rainbow coloured thread embroidery. Dungarees are a big summer trend that you must DIY with thread yourself this season.

2) Solid Shirts and Tops

The main inspiration of embroidery is from floral motifs and alike. These look best when done on solid shirts such as basic white and black shirts as the colourful threadwork tends to show better on a blank canvas. They can be paired with casual lowers for a day outfit, since they bring life to simple attire. Some street style bloggers have showcased their own embroidery and DIY skills by creating their own patchwork embroidered garments at Fashion Weeks.

3) Footwear

From Punjabi mojris to embroidered loafers, this eastern trend has merged with the western silhouettes to form something beautiful. From quirky motifs to intricate floral embroidery (again!) there are plenty of designs available to choose from. As the world turned towards white sneakers in 2016, designers have taken a step ahead and embroidered these very shoes with floral patches.

4) Bags and Carryalls

From models on the runway to street style bloggers, this trend has been inspirational this season. Leather clutches get a bohemian touch with colourful thread embroidery as well as denim backpacks with traditional motifs. Don’t limit yourself to embroidery on these bags, multiple kinds of embellishment are the rage this season too. Whether you buy it off the rack or prefer doing it yourself, add metal studs and spikes for a grunge look, Swarovski crystals for a bling look or colourful pom-poms to give a gypsy touch to your carryall.
