The Conversation Piece

As a former Girl Scout, the return of patches reminds me of the iron-on badges we received when we completed a certain feat—like being prepared for anything or making brownies for the group. As your list of accomplishments grew,  your bright green uniform became bolder and better. Flash forward about 20 years and patches are popping up everywhere—on jackets at Opening Ceremony, on quirky bags by Anya Hindmarch, and on covetable smoking loafers by Del Toro. Unfortunately, this blazer is sold out, but I have gathered some great alternatives from around the web—including patches to DIY a piece you already own. This vibrant trend will definitely give ’em something to talk about.
