    • Trends: Elbow Patches

    This fall is all about Elbow Patches! Preferably suede ones… I think it enhances a piece and makes a garment look rich. You can find elbow patches on blazers, shirts, knits, sweaters, and even jackets. You can make the look feel a bit more casual or even dressed up.

    In 2008 a lot of magazines and trend forecasters identified the elbow patch as being the trend of the season, but I don’t think it caught on as much as people thought it would have. Of course the fellas who have been dressing dandy for a while know all about the elbow patch, I think this season it’s going to be a lot more noticeable.

    What’s great about this fall season is that a lot of brands and collections are showing them on their garments. The last 5 pieces I acquired from POLO has them and even the latest Take Ivy collaboration with K-Swiss & Jack Spade has a printed on version of elbow patches.

    I think it is a great way to update your look. You can even buy the patches and do it yourself, what a great way to retrofit and old piece from your closet.
