Studs and Spikes – Fashion Trends

Friday, September 28, 2012
I love spikes, they’re everywhere!  and have become a popular fashion trend over the past year and will give you an instant edge!  spikes have now made their way onto shoes, clothes, jewelry, and mobile devices!  From tiny hints to full-on stud and spike overload.

It’s amazing how a simple outfit can change just by adding a few spikes, whether they’re on denim or leather, bracelets, collars or on a little clutch bag.
Less is more with this trend, too much can make you look less sexy/naughty and more….mmm…butch??

Metal hardware is all over the runways, typically in the form of studs, spikes, and grommets. The coolest part about this trend: you don't have to be a tough girl covered in piercings and tattoos to wear studs and spikes. Studs can be uber-edgy, slightly sweet, casual, or dressy, depending on how you play them.
A bedazzled shirt may not be what you are looking for. Adding subtle touches of spikes and studs while  accessorizing is a great way to wear the trend, without making it your look’s focal point.

Go for denim. Leather is the classic tough-girl material, but if don't like the leather look, denim is just as fabulous when studded.

Mix your metallics. There's a myth out there that you can't mix metallics, but it's untrue. Mix silver and gold studs for a cool effect.

Toughen up a girly outfit. Studs add an edgy appeal to girly pieces like hair bows, pink pumps, or a chiffon skirt.
