Embroidery Is Back: Here's How To Wear It

Embroidery is everywhere this season, from intricate party dresses to eye-catching clutch bags and embracing the trend is now easier than ever!

The key to wearing embroidery is investing in pieces that can work all year round - so they won't date by next season. Plain shirts, clutch bags, heels and party dresses are a great way of doing this as they're items that can be used throughout the year.

There are some great pieces that embrace the embroidery trend this season, in particular high street retailers Zara and Next have truly upped their game with this trend, with a whole selection of beautiful embroidered pieces to suit every taste and style.
