I’ve noticed this spring that a lot of the styles I liked in the 90s are coming back. Shell toe sneakers, embroidered jeans and jean jackets, patches on jackets and backpacks. I guess I’m at that age where the trends I liked as a kid or teen are cool again. Man, that makes me feel old.

But rather than wallow in my feeling old-ness, I’m embracing some of these reemerging trends. I actually started rocking shell toe sneakers again after seeing them all over Europe last summer. When I was a teenager, I literally had 4 pairs, each with different colored stripes. I’m also really loving the patches on jackets trend, but I haven’t found the perfect jacket just yet. Probably my favorite trend is embroidered boyfriend jeans.

I love these embroidered boyfriend jeans for a couple reasons. First, they are super comfortable. They have that totally broken-in look and feel. Also, the price point is completely affordable, at just a bit over $50. This is actually the first pair of boyfriend jeans I’ve owned because I always thought they looked sloppy on me. These STS jeans (c/o) totally proved me wrong. Finally, I love how versatile they are. I can wear them so many unexpected ways. I don’t just have to wear them on the weekends. Depending on your office, you might be able to pull them off at work and definitely for a night out.

Here’s my take on 3 ways to style embroidered boyfriend jeans. Which look do you like best?

Do you own any embroidered pieces for spring? If you own boyfriend jeans, have you tried wearing them in different ways besides casually? If not, you should definitely give it a try, and I’d love to hear what you think of my looks!
