Style Trend: Embroidered Jeans

A few months ago when I first noticed that embroidery was coming back in style I won't lie, I was not exactly enthusiastic about the development. I'm pretty sure I actually issued an audible groan. Tacky floral appliqués on denim might have been cool when I was a little kid, but surely the cool kids and trendsetters of 2017 aren't actually going to let the trend come BACK right? Wrong.

Initial reservations aside, I have to say that the style has actually grown on me. Embellished jeans being produced by most major retailers right now nod back to the youth and whimsy of a couple decades ago, and it's really not a look that I expected to gain so much momentum. Clearly it seems that embroidered denim is here to stay, at least for a little bit. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em right? If you feel so inclined to jump aboard the retro bandwagon heading back to the whimsy and color of the 80s and 90s, then this is the place to be.

I've rounded up some of the best embroidered jeans for sale right now (without springing for Gucci because who actually has money for that? Not me, that's who), and you KNOW I have my eyes on these awesome jeans. They're available at multiple online boutiques with prices spanning from $30-$88, so if they're sold out at one store be sure to check the others (links are below). That being said, there are a lot of pretty jeans to choose from, from flashy and colorful to more subtle and muted. Check out my picks below.
