Customize your look and show off your personality with a '90s-inspired patch
A huge hit from the ’90s, vintage-inspired patches have made their way back into style and are definitely having a fashion moment. Not only are they versatile and fun, they’re a great way to customize your look and show off your personality. From cartoon characters to rock bands, logos and smiley faces, there’s a patch for everyone.

There’s nothing more stylish than a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans for the summer, and the decorative patches on this pair makes them even more cool.
Forever 21
What’s better than patches? Sparkly ones, of course. Show off your fun side with this super cute long sleeve complete with red lips, a pineapple and an ice cream cone.
Stand out with this military messenger bag filled with colourful patches and pins. There’s lots of room for your essentials, which makes it great for running around town or even travelling.
Free People
We love these bleached boyfriend jeans with star-studded embroidered patches. Pair them with a loose sweater or simple camisole for an easy, feminine look.
Scotch & Soda
Be bold and vibrant in this pop-culture-inspired sweater that’s all about summer fun. Throw on some shorts and sneakers, and you’re ready to be out and about!
This zip-up clutch with fun details is a fabulous alternative to your regular evening purses. And you never have to worry about it being snatched—it literally says: “Don’t touch me.”
Topshop
Add a little edge to your look with this classic denim vest with metallic patches. Pair it with a simple dress and sneakers for a daytime summer look or rock it with black jeans and ankle boots for a night out.
Express
Protect your face from the sun (and look cute at the same time) with this patched baseball cap. And if French fries aren’t really your thing, there’s also a black version available with a burger on top. Take your pick!
Urban Outfitters
Cute meets attitude in these high-waisted distressed shorts with graphic patches. Denim shorts never go out of style and this pair is sure to be a favourite in your wardrobe.
Detailed bomber jackets have taken over street style by storm. We love this one in particular for its cartoon-like patches in different colours and textures. This jacket will look great with just about anything, but pair it with a simple fitted dress and sneakers for a total celeb-inspired sporty look.
Zara
Take your belongings everywhere in this black cross-body bag with California-inspired patches—it has summer written all over it.
You can also pick up a patch from Urban Outfitters and accessorize whatever you like. We love this exclusive vase of roses by L.A.-based artist and designer Francisco Reyes Jr., who also goes by the name of Never Made.
