Getty ImagesPatches are making one stylish comeback.
Not since your Girl Scout days have you thought of wearing patches, but the trend is alive and well. It's an anything-but-basic way to show off a different sense of style—one with big personality.
Add a patch to your once-plain pair of mom jeans and you've got yourself a new street style-ready outfit. The fun will, literally, never stop.
Keep scrolling for cool ready-made, patch-adorned pieces inspired by three of today's biggest style stars.
The easiest to pull off, of all the patch-covered clothing, is a jacket. If your usual uniform is black-on-black-on-black (unlike Lady Gaga, but like her in this specific photo), it's the perfect way to add some color to your outfit.
Pro tip: To balance out the cutesy appeal of patches, put them on more edgy and structured silhouettes like leather or denim jackets.
Wearing patches on your pants, like Gigi Hadid, is just plain fun. You'll be sure to catch the eye of famous street style photographers wearing a pair like the below picks.

Accessories are meant to be played with! That's why patches and purses go so well together. Your outfit can be whatever you'd like it to be (casual and fun or tailored and put-together), but when you add something like what Rihanna's holding, it'll automatically look high-fashion.
