Contrary to popular belief, studs aren’t just meant for the 80’s Madonna look. In fact, they can create an edgy vibe to practically any outfit. These rough embellishments are making a comeback as you will find plenty of shirts, collars and handbags adorned with studs and spikes. Here are some key pieces you can add to your wardrobe.

Handbags
Handbags adorned with studs are another way to spruce up your basic outfit. Aside from the regular black and white, you can test out bold colours such as yellow and royal blue. Pair the bag with matching shoes and voila! You’ve got yourself a look that’s to die for.

Tops
Studded tops work well with both pants and skirts, and are even an interesting option for the office! To avoid looking too bling, opt for shirts and tops that only have studs around the corners or sleeves. You can pull off a more heavily embellished outfit for parties and festive occasions. Throw on a pair of plain black pants and you are good to go.

Backpacks
There is plenty to love about studded backpacks. For a classy look, opt for a piece with gold-tone stud embellishments and patchwork detailing. You can also stick to the basics and go for an all-black backpack with silver studs. Who said backpacks are only meant for school?

Shoes
From pumps to boots to flats to sneaker, studded footwear is definitely a part of this season’s trend. Whether you opt for a drool-worthy pair of heels or want to play it safe with sneakers, studded shoes can effortlessly add an extra oomph to your look. Best of all, you won’t have to worry about going overboard.

Jeans
Slip into a pair of jeans with studs, pearls and distressed detailing for a truly unique look. While definitely not appropriate as formal wear, these jeans are perfect for creating the ultimate street-style look. For bonus points, add a pair of boots to the equation. You won’t be disappointed!

Leather Jacket
There’s nothing quite like a leather jacket to make a statement. Studded jackets look both chic and edgy. Not to mention, it is a more fashionable option than your regular sweater or plain jacket. Pair it up with a plain white t-shirt and sunglasses for the ultimate biker look.
