Restyling your wardrobe has never been this cheeky: With the ever-growing presence of enamel and button pins in day-to-day fashion, they've come to represent more than just an everyday accessory. Dubbed "Flair," this hot-button trend revives dull clothing pieces through a vast assortment of colors, shapes and styles, while paying direct homage to the '90s fashion palette. The simple addition of one or two pins provides a vintage quirkiness to the canvas material of a solid-colored backpack. Alternatively, one pin on each front-facing lapel of a popped collar makes for an easy qualifier as a "popping" look. Doing so will make onlookers swoon, not only in admiration of your stylish look, but also in nostalgia over an era many spent well-lived.

Much of Flair sustains a heavy appeal towards aspects of political and pop cultures, ranging from social justice issues to hit T.V. shows, respectively. In this sense, flair caters towards personal expression, while also promoting romanticized conversation pieces back to the '90s. In this sense, Flair enhances all of the wearer, beyond just fashion. One glance at them not only makes a bold statement about an individual's sense of style, but also conveys aspects of their character, without them having to directly say much about themselves at all.

In recent years, the culture of wearing pins has refined from a novelty accessory to a staple in high fashion. Designers brandish buttons on casual apparel such as jean jackets, giving yet another nod to the '90s. This clothing aesthetic, along with runway pin styling on Christopher Kane and Alexander McQueen formalwear like coats, blazers and jackets certainly make for colorful statements. However, the specificity of the statement remains unclear; just because Flair is a trend doesn't necessitate going overboard. By overwhelming an item with too many pins, the item's natural integrity diminishes, as does the pins' nostalgic essence. Remember, Flair's intention is to enhance by highlighting the best aspects of a clothing piece.

So to students looking to adding Flair to your lives: the more selective you are in choosing pins for display, the bolder the statement you make about you and your garment. It's about taking an empty-canvas-style module, like jean jackets or canvas backpacks, and stylizing them through simple innovation. Treat these pins as you'd want to be treated. Just as how you wear what you wear because you believe it's the best fit or version of yourself, regard donning these pins as an extension of who you are, and wear them (with pride) accordingly.
