5 Easy-to-Wear Patchwork Pieces
From New York to Paris, one of the biggest trends to take away from the Spring 2015 season was patchwork. The traditionally ’70s attire has come a long way from its hippie origins. With summer coming up, it seemed like a good time to capitalize on this free loving trend. Here’s how to rock it the trend with style.
The Patchwork Skirt
With seventies being a huge focal point in many of the collections this season, we thought it would be perfect time to experiment with a patchwork A-line skirt. If you’re brave enough to go full denim, pair this piece with a chambray shirt. (A simple white crewneck tee would work great as well.) Throw on a pair of gladiator sandals and you’re ready for a stroll in the park.
