One major trend brought about by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic is the rise of personalized fashion. Personalization is not a new concept, but with the growing number of consumers supporting small businesses, we’re seeing personalized fashion become a major trend going into the new year. Personalization is something we can’t get with mass production. The perks of a personalized piece are that it’s special to the wearer and a definite conversation starter! Some popular methods used to personalize apparel are embroidery and painting, which we see often in folk-inspired looks. Paired with maxi hemlines, ruffles, and autumn hues, personalization is the unique look that will have everyone talking!
We’re drawing influences from major fashion houses and small creators. Keep scrolling to discover our favorite folk-inspired looks, then shop our featured picks!

Have something to share? A statement you want to make? A custom made denim piece is the perfect way to express yourself! There are a ton of Etsy sellers who take custom orders and small business owners on Instagram who can also accommodate any folk-inspired look you want!
Denim is going to be one of the most versatile fabrications for personalization. Different shades of washes will give you a different look. Opt for a black denim wash if you want an edgier, grunge-inspired look to reflect your inner biker girl. For a folk-inspired look, go for a light wash with fringe detailing. A painted denim piece often times will look more high-street, contemporary, and abstract if that is the look you want. You also don’t need to stop at denim jackets! Rock personalized denim jeans, skirts, hats, bags, and shoes!

What about personalizing other articles of clothing that aren’t denim? We’re also seeing high fashion embrace that touch of personalization and we are loving it! For colder months, we’re seeing larger folk-inspired embroideries adorn cozy coats and cardigans which is a fun way of moving towards a more playful look while still keeping to the luxe silhouettes of many outerwear styles. Many embroidery designs draw influences from its Chinese origin and the Middle East, as well.

Modern, Western influences include nature-inspired designs like florals and the incorporation of brighter colors. Also expect to see updates utilizing larger thread and crochet detailing as folk-inspired and bohemian styles gain traction in the new year.
