Embroidered items are popping up at retail as a nod to the Boho Chic trend and beyond. We’re seeing the embellishment across wardrobe items like knitwear, blouses, shirts, dresses, skirts, waistcoats, coats, jackets, shorts, sweatshirts, swimwear, underwear, footwear and handbags.
The collection below shows an assortment of embroidered items.
Embroidery has many variations. It can be self-colour, low contrast, and subtle. Items with a small amount of embroidery are subtle too. High contrast and multi-coloured embroidery is visually bold, especially when large areas of the item are embroidered. Some embroidery has cut-out detailing.
Embroidered clothing can be casual or dressy. Clothing with large embroideries can be scratchy on the inside of the garment so make sure that’s not the case, or wear something underneath like a tee or camisole.
I like embroidery. It’s pretty, and I enjoy wearing pretty things. Embroidery is particularly well suited to Spring and Summer clothing, to my eye. The embellishment creates an interesting texture that amps up the look of basic items. I currently have these embroidered items in my wardrobe. There’s a mix of bold and subtle embellishment. There is room for more.
Over to you. Do you like embroidery on wardrobe items?
