One way to step up your fashion and add some detail to your look is through the use of patches. Custom patches today can be seen on everything from uniforms to shirts, hats, backpacks, and other garments.

Patches are a great way to enhance your style, but many still wonder how to style patches and make them a part of the daily look. Patches aren't just limited to clothing. We wanted to share some ideas on looking stylish with patches. 

Patches for Every Style

First things first, decide which aspect of your interests you want to represent on a patch. What type of patch fits you the best? If you're a sports fan, do you have a favorite team? Maybe you're a music fan and want to show your loyalty to a particular band or musician. No matter what your interests or hobbies, you can express it on a custom patch.

If you want something simple and minimal, go with a simple, basic patch  for your favorite shirt or jacket. If you want to stand out and show your personality more, go for bigger patches, more intricate designs and brighter colors. Patches are a great way to let the world know where you stand and what you're into. 

Location, Location, Location

Once you have determined the type of patch, think about where on the garment you want to place the patch. Considering where you want your patch will help you choose the best patch size and style for your look. If you want prominent placement, opt for adding a patch to the shoulders or back of a jacket. If you If you want to make a big statement, go for a large back patch.

For smaller, subtle patches, you might want to choose somewhere more discreet. You can add patches to handbags, pants, or even shoes.

Consider what the patch means to you. If the design shows your membership in a club or an organization, you will want to wear it proudly to display your affliation.

Attachment Theory

Once you know what style patch you want and where you want to wear it, it's time to consider how to attach your patch. . Choosing the right attachment method is an important aspect as well.

Choices

Sew-on patches are the most common and can easily be attached to denim, leather, and almost every other fabric. But you have other options, including iron-on backing, which is a little easier to place on any garment.  Some materials, however, can't take the heat required to attach iron-on patches. Be sure to check before ordering iron-on patches.

For removable options, you can also choose Velcro® hook-and-loop fasteners or tape backing. Velcro backing allows you to easily remove patches and wear them on other garments, where tape backing offers a quick and effective way to apply and remove your patches without damaging the garment. Keep in mind that tape backing is meant only for short-term use, such as for special event patches. It's not meant to be laundered.

Another removable option is the button loop, which makes things quick and simple. It's a simple fabric loop attached to the patch, which you then hook over a button on your garment.

Show Off Your Own Style

With your choice of patch types, sizes, colors, thread types and backing, custom patches are versatile enough to express just about anyone's personal style. Why not give them a try and see how they can add flair to your life?
