Denim now isn't so much about trends as it is a lifestyle. One approach finds the perfect marriage of chic and kitsch—thanks to cool/quirky iron-on patches. In other words: it's a DIY dresser's dream come true.
Luxe denim brand 3x1 created its own cheeky appliqués for updating your jean pieces. They come in four different themes, each with its own persona: Stairway to Heaven for the rocker chick; Happy Days for the sweetheart; RIP Feelings for the sarcasm queen; and Vacation Forever for the jet-setter.
Time to whip out your iron and middle school crafting skills.
Patches sell for $30 for each set of 3, available at 3x1.us, NYC stores, and select retailers in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Apply them at home or have it done for you in-store.
