Unique Ways To Wear Your Custom Embroidered Patches 

Custom patches are a cherished part of fashion today. They allow endless creative possibilities. Whether you want to transform everyday items, repurpose old clothing, or make bold statements, these versatile accessories help you do it all. There are many different ways to wear custom patches and make your own statement. 

Patches are a timeless way to express individuality, show affiliations, or promote causes. With a little imagination you can transform your wardrobe and reflect your personality. And with so many choices available, you can create a look that’s truly your own. Let’s look at some of the ways you can wear custom patches with flair.

Rock the Denim

You know denim jackets and jeans offer THE classic background for custom patches. They’re the ideal spot for one or many patches. Tell the story your way. Place a single large patch on a jacket to make a bold statement. Or curate a series of smaller patches and place them in a way that tells a story. It’s all up to you.

Jackets offer plenty of space for patches, including the back, front, and sleeves. You can mix and match sizes, colors and patch styles to craft your own look. Keep in mind that even a single, small patch can make a powerful statement if it’s designed and placed right.

Jeans offer plenty of choices, too. You can wear patches on pockets, knees, even along the seams if you like. They’re a perfect way to show off your style.

One great thing about denim is that you have all the options for attaching your patches available. You can safely attach embroidered patches with sew-on, iron-on or Velcro® hook-and-loop fasteners. Other materials might not be able to withstand the heat required for iron-on patches.

Revamp Your Bags

Attach custom patches to an old backpack, tote, or messenger bag to turn it into a new fashion statement piece. Personalize your everyday carry bag by sewing on patches featuring your favorite hobbies, slogans, or artwork. You can even use patches back with hook-and-loop fasteners that can be swapped to suit the occasion or your mood.  

College students and alumni can feature patches on their bags that include the school logo or mascot, organizations, or favorite bands. If you travel frequently, patches on your bags can be great souvenirs of your trips and help you identify your luggage in the airport.

Shoe Off Your Style

If you want a new way to wear custom patches, consider adding them to your shoes. You can sew or glue them onto casual shoes and boots to create a look that’s truly your own. Small patches on the outer sides of athletic shoes or along the laces will give you a streetwear vibe.   

You can also add outdoor-themed hiking boots to show your love of nature and your adventurous spirit. Just be careful to place the patches where they won’t interfere with comfort or function.

Flip Your Lid

Ok, so you don’t want to wear custom patches on your shoes or jacket. How about on your head? Hats and caps have long been a perfect spot to display colorful, unique patches. Whether it’s a classic patch on the front of a baseball cap or  a smaller patch (or several) on the side of a bucket hat, it’s a timeless look.

Feel free to experiment with the design of your patches Whether you prefer minimalist designs or vibrant patterns, hats offer a fun way to display your patches.  

Patch Up the Outerwear

Let’s face it, coats, parkas and hoodies might be cold-weather necessities, but they’re kinda boring. They don’t have to be. Bring a bit of style to your outerwear with custom patches. You can highlight details such as sleeves or chest pockets. Whether you want a formal military-inspired look or something more playful and casual, you can wear custom patches with flair on coats and jackets.

If you want a cohesive look, be sure your patches match the color scheme of your outerwear. That keeps the design balanced while making the patches pop.  

Make Patch Jewelry

What if you don’t want to wear custom patches on your clothing? No problem – you can turn them into jewelry instead! Create necklaces or chokers by attaching a patch to a chain or ribbon. You can even mount small patches onto lightweight backings to make earrings. 

If you’d rather keep the option to attach the patch to a garment or bag at a later date, you can even wear custom patches as pins or brooches. Just attach a safety pin or magnetic backing to the patch and wear it without permanently altering either your clothing or the patch.

This approach enables you to wear your favorite patch designs in novel ways that will be sure to stand out.

Create Unique Accessories  

Another option if you choose not to wear custom patches on clothing is to add them to accessories. You can attach them to wallets, phone cases, or even wristbands to create a unique look that’s truly your own. 

You can even add patches to your laptop or tablet. Attach them to the case to show people your one-of-a-kind sense of style.
