Embroidered and sequins and Pom-Poms, oh my! If your normal “day to day” outfit is more of a minimalist look – this trend might be a tad too much to handle. Or style. Or incorporate into your look without being over-the-top. Embellished trends can go from simple boho-chic to a bedazzled nightmare. Slippery style slope. Are there guidelines for this trend? And – let’s cut to the chase. Shopping. What are top selling embellished items that work with ANY wardrobe, budget, occasion and age?
Examples?
- Embroidery
- Pom-Poms
- Tassel Trim
- Sequins
- Lace Inset
- Crochet
- Ruffles
Tips?
- Bye, Bye Bling: No need for other “statement” jewelry while styling anything embellished
- One and Done: Whatever you choose as the embellished item, stop right there. No more glitz or glam required.
- Basics are Best: Keep the other items of your look solid. Think neutral colors, black/white or monochromatic.
- Shoes = Simple: Not kidding about basics. That includes shoes. Meaning, no heels.
- Blah or Boring?: Got a <sorry to say> boring outfit? Adding 1 embellished item is an instant chic upgrade. Try it.
Keep it Simple
- Keep your look monochromatic (like my all white look below) for a fresh and chic vibe. This also balances out the Ba-Baaam by the chill white (or any monochromatic) foundation.
- Limit the jewelry since embellishment is THE gem of your outfit!
- Handbags can’t handle the competition, so choose a bag that doesn’t take away from this style/trend.

I am ALL ABOUT embellishing. I am so happy this trend is back in because I love, love, love tassels. I need to go do some shopping now 🙂
That yellow top is probably my favorite! The shoes are pretty awesome as well though. I really love the embellished trend. It is fun to wear and looks great!
I love all of these outfits! The yellow top is beautiful. I agree if you have an embellished piece you really don’t need a statement piece of jewelry.
That blue top is my favorite! So fun yet it pulls the outfit together. And that yellow top is so festive for summer! Great tips, per usual!
I like this style. It looks like so much fun! I really love the yellow! It looks so fun for summer!
Love these tops! They are so cute! Especially the yellow. I don’t know what it is but I love yellow that isn’t too striking.
I love that embroidered yellow top! I love that boho chic look you have. That white light cardigan/cover up in the last couple photos is super cute!
I’m a huge fan of all the embellishments. Give me the tassels and pompoms and bell sleeves. I want it all, especially those cute embellished shoes.
I totally love the design and style of the shoes you have there! I knew toms had those shoes, but didn’t know there’s a LOT of those! haha. Also I love your yellow top, the color is amazing!

Loving all these trends especially embroidery and you can pull them all off so well, even pom poms which I think are so incredibly hard to make look sophisticated! x
I love all shades of yellow and this embellished top looks so gorgeous! I want it right now.
I’m a huge fan of the embroidary/ embellished style but not too sure about the pom poms, although the ones on the edge of your top look super cute x
These are very lovely details and they’re perfect for the summer. I love this trend and it goes so well with that boho look that everybody seems to love during this season.
I love both of your tops! They’re so cute! I think the yellow one is my favorite because I love the designs and the color looks amazing on you!
This style reminds me so much of Coachella. I love the embroidered blouses and dresses that are trending these days, they’re so feminine and colorful! That yellow top is lovely, I can think of a lot of ways to style it!
I adore your style. Always so gorgeous! I love your top, I don’t think I’ve ever owned an Embellished top before. But I would love something like this. Also, that pineapple I need!
I love those shoes and that yellow top. That is just my style. I like all the looks that you are sharing here, though. I could wear them all.
Both of your outfits look so beautiful on you! I especially the embroidery shoes and pom-poms blue top.
Ooooo so many chic looks!! I’m definitely all about embellishments! They definitely make outfits way more fun. A trend I definitely like!
All of these looks are so darling on you! And those embroidered shoes are absolutely gorgeous. I need to shop for new styles to brighten up my summer wardrobe and mix in a few trendy pieces.
I totally love the embellished trend this summer! You’re totally right though, you’ve gotta keep the rest of the outfit quite simple and neutral. You found some really great pieces!
I love all the tops you shared! Pom-poms are so much fun and seem to be everywhere right now for summer!
I love embellishments when they add a little something to clothing. I have tried to branch out a little more with my wardrobe lately.
I love your tips, totally all rules to go by when wearing embroidery. I love that gorgeous yellow embroidery top! It is absolutely a show stopper!
