Let's Talk About: Contrast Stitching
To be completely honest with you, there isn’t a whole lot to say about contrast or top stitching (whatever you’d prefer) except that suddenly, everywhere, I’m seeing people featuring it in their outfits. This tiny detail is making waves in fashion at the moment, and, based off our last chat about making minimalism interesting, contrast stitching seems to be a perfect follow up topic to talk about. It’s an (almost painstakingly) obvious way to add a level of interest to your outfit, and helps add shape and direction to an otherwise block silhouette. Don’t hesitate - here are our top five pieces to incorporate this subtle trend.
