You're Such a Stud!



 From Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang to Alexander McQueen, there is no doubt that these fashion industry icons have nailed trends year after year. Each of these designers, as well as many others, have a lot in common. They all know how to use studs and embellishments that fit any fashion type, from a "prepster" to a rock and roll diva, studs are a must have this season!

Hardware on shoes, handbags, jeans, and shirts, add an edge to any look. I mean honestly, how can we forget the re-birth of Chloe's MUST HAVE "Susanna" boots??

Even top designers like Burberry, Givenchy, and Versace have taken this look to the runway  and introduced  stud couture with a classy twist.
 
This is one of my FAVORITE bags from Burberry...









 



 .....a stud-crazed piece and I LOVE it.










This has every element I look for in a bag. Gold on black hardware, a small handle, with a longer strap to wear as crossbody (if need be), and it's Givenchy...need I say more?









Rachel Zoe also knows how to add a bit of that Rock N' Roll flair to an ordinary evening bag. The slight touch of studs with the chain handle took this from ordinary to extraordinary without breaking the bank.

Now lets get down to the nuts and bolts of your wardrobe. Accessories are fun but why not add that bold statement to your clothes. Here is a great pair of Versace studded dress pants (DT $210). When paired
 with a simple sweater and collared shirt.... it adds that slight touch of edginess!


It should come as no surprise that studs are here to stay because they are versatile and sexy. Studs can be found literally everywhere, add them to a casual, everyday look for a bit of glam or  dressing down an evening ensemble. Send us a picture in your most FAB studded outfit and let us see how you work with them! @DoubleTakeRBank #wearestuds
