Like any girl, I just love bright and shiny jewelry, especially studs: square, round, triangular, spiked - with spikes.
They greatly change the appearance and texture of any thing to which you attach them and, at the same time, are very pleasant to the touch. Well, the rivets remind me of my school days, when I was sure that I was a real punk rocker :)
Jeans are perhaps the most popular and affordable clothing. It is worn by both old and young. Denim fabric is very durable, and even after several seasons of wear, it does not lose its external luster, but on the contrary, it becomes more and more “fashionable” - worn and faded.

Today you can decorate jeans with rivets or spikes with your own hands. The main thing to remember is that rivets are easy to attach to thin fabric, but thick fabric, such as denim or leather, is much more difficult to work with. Therefore, I present to your attention my method: how attach rivets and spikes to denim.
Materials and tools
- Sharp knife or blade
- Small pliers
- Rivets or spikes for clothing
- Clothes made of thick fabric (in my case, a denim shirt)
How to attach rivets?
Tip: Place an old pillow or blanket under your clothes while you work, you don't want to cut yourself, do you? It is advisable to strengthen the place of attachment of spikes and rivets - on the wrong side, ironing a woven adhesive pad - dublin or non-woven fabric. You can tie an original scarf to a denim suit.
Enjoy the process and take care of yourself! Take care of the convenience of your workplace, use an air purifier for your home. Personal comfort, a well-equipped life - and the results of your work will delight not only you, but also those around you.
A women's studded leather jacket is an excellent piece of clothing that can add a touch of romance and rock to your look. And it is precisely in the peculiarities of the execution of her style that the subtleties of creating exquisite, and sometimes feminine, daring looks are hidden.
Decorating clothing items with metal elements has remained a particularly current trend over the past few seasons. And the women's leather jacket with studs is no exception. Moreover, it is the “sharp pyramids” that set the basis for the entire image, depending on their location and the density of decoration.
It’s worth mentioning right away that designers offer jackets in this design to beautiful ladies in the style of classic biker jackets. Tightly covering the waist of a beautiful lady, semi-tight in the hips and chest, they perfectly emphasize the figure, and the spikes located on them, no matter how sharp they are, are difficult to cause harm. But at the same time, fashion designers offer ladies to try on jacket or cardigan styles, as well as bolero (options that do not reach the waist level by about 5 cm).
The cut of the sleeves is also interesting. In addition to the classic smooth shape and sleeves reaching to the wrist, designers are actively experimenting with the “flashlight” and the degree of its pomp. In addition, for summer models and the “velvet season” lengths of one and three quarters are provided. The design of the hem can also vary. So, designers change the classic, straight bottom to asymmetrical or wavy.
But the main thing in such a leather jacket are the spikes and their location. They can be scattered throughout the fabric or exclusively on the shoulders, along the seams and on the lapels of the jacket. A leather jacket with rivets and spikes looks no less interesting. The former decorate the collars and cuffs, and the latter decorate the sleeves or seams.
But the color scheme is quite traditional. As a rule, all such jackets are made in black or brown shades. But sometimes you can find white, beige, blue, dark blue or green options. And in such cases, the classic silver tone of the spikes changes, judging by the lookbook photos, to golden.
How to choose?
As strange as it may sound, a leather jacket decorated with studs will suit most ladies. The main thing is to choose its style based on the type of silhouette.
So, an ideal classic leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders will suit those with a pear shape. Such a bright accent at the top will further narrow the waist and balance the hips with the line of the shoulders. Also for this silhouette, models are recommended in which the sleeve is made in the shape of a “Lantern” and/or decorated in its upper part with pronounced spikes. Also, it is precisely these ladies who are recommended to experiment with the style of a leather bolero.
For ladies with a “Rectangle” silhouette, those models that clearly feature a toe-shaped collar, decorated with spikes and/or rivets, are best suited. It can be a half-opened biker jacket, but it is best to choose jackets styled like semi-tight jackets.
Also, studded jackets, expanding to varying degrees from the waistline, will fit perfectly into the look of ladies with an “Apple” or “Inverted Triangle” silhouette. In addition, stylists recommend that such women pay attention to how and what shape the spikes decorate the leather product. It is advisable to choose models with spikes in the form of small pyramids located on the lapels, collar or on the cuffs. It is also worth mentioning that image creation experts strongly advise owners of the “Apple” silhouette to take a closer look at a style that has an asymmetrical or wavy hem.
The lucky ones are the owners of the Hourglass. The only style contraindicated for them is a jacket-jacket. But even in this case, the stylists found a solution for them, proposing to consider those options in which a belt decorated with spikes is placed on the waist or hips, emphasizing these areas.
Creating a Look
A studded jacket made of leather is a pronounced element of the glam rock and rocker styles. And, based on this statement, a beautiful lady can make a fatal mistake in composing her version of the set, completing the item in question with leather trousers and high boots, creating a pronounced image of a biker.
The kit described above should be slightly adjusted. Let leather trousers remain, but under a jacket with pronounced spikes you should wear a thin chiffon or cotton top, half tucked into the waistband of the trousers. Instead of boots, try on ankle boots or stilettos. A fedora hat and a voluminous translucent scarf will help complete the look.
For those who, even in the case of outerwear decorated with studs, prefer to add elements of femininity to the image, stylists recommend wearing a flowy chiffon dress with a pleated hem under such a leather jacket. Sneakers or wedge sandals will perfectly complete the set in combination with a mini backpack. However, the dress can be replaced with a duo of a blouse and a skirt. However, it should be noted that in the latter case, the skirts should be as full as possible or simply not fit the hips of a beautiful lady.
You should definitely pair a women's studded leather jacket with jeans or denim shorts. In this case, worn or torn models are quite appropriate. They are completed with loose tops or blouses, which, depending on the length of the jacket itself, are completely or partially tucked into the belt or left loose. The choice of shoes in this case largely depends on the length of both jeans and shorts. Look experts recommend making it a rule that the shorter the length, the lower the heel of the shoe should be. Otherwise, a stylish image instantly transforms into a vulgar one.
Oddly enough, a leather jacket with studs can also fit into a semi-formal evening look. To create such a set, choose a short jacket with small spikes on the shoulders. Added to it is a cocktail dress, decorated with asymmetrically placed draperies. The set is completed with elegant classic pumps and a clutch with the same studs as on the jacket.
We can only wish that beautiful ladies choose and wear a women’s leather jacket with studs correctly, creating images of fatal and daring beauties.
In every woman's wardrobe there are jeans that have been collecting dust in the closet for a long time, because they no longer seem fashionable and relevant or are simply tired. However, such things can be given a second life if you update them in accordance with the latest trends. Moreover, for such modernization it is not at all necessary to have outstanding handicraft skills - ordinary glue will come to the rescue. Today we will show you several original and simple ways that make it possible to quickly transform your jeans into a stylish model.
Jeans with stripes.
Today, jeans with a worn-in effect are in fashion, which can be created with stripes that imitate patches. By the way, with their help you can skillfully disguise problem areas on fabric.
In order to bring your idea to life, you can use purchased stripes, which are available in a wide range at any sewing store. Your own blanks, cut from thick fabric of a matching color, are also suitable for decoration.
Ready-made patches can have a self-adhesive backing. In this case, you just need to attach them to the fabric, carefully ironing them with a hot iron. If the patches do not have such a base, then use glue to fix the decor. Glue E-6000 or the classic “Moment” copes well with this type of work.
If your jeans do not have fashionable ripped elements, you can make them yourself using the guidance on our website.
Jeans with pearl decoration.
Finishing is always on trend. You can use large beads or, as in our case, small elements. To attach the decor to the fabric, use a toothpick or any other long thin tool. Dip a toothpick into the glue and apply it to the bead. Then press the pearl firmly against the fabric to secure it in place. Glue all the decorative elements in the same way, distributing them evenly along the trouser legs. Wait for the glue to dry completely.
These jeans look smart and modern. They go well with a plain top and add an unexpected accent to your look.
Jeans with patches.
Another option for quickly updating an old model involves creating bright patches that will give the jeans a layered effect. For this decoration, use jeans with severe scuffs and torn areas. The patches can be anything you like. We use fashionable plaid fabric.
Start by preparing the patches themselves. Cut out squares of the desired size from the fabric. Please note that the patches will be attached with glue, so make the patches a little larger than required. From the inside out, glue decorative patches in those areas where there are significant abrasions. Leave the jeans for a few hours to allow the glue to set, then turn them right side out.
The result is an original model in country style.
Jeans with leather cuffs.
Leather decor helps turn even the simplest jeans into a trendy item. All you need is a small piece of faux leather and glue. We will decorate the cuffs of jeans. Cut a piece of leather to the desired size and secure it to the lapel of the jeans with glue.
To disguise possible flaws in the work, use metal decorative elements that are carefully secured along the seam.
That's all! In just 5 minutes, your jeans have changed dramatically.
Jeans with ethnic motifs.
Using the same principle, you can create other fashionable models. For example, using fabric with ethnic motifs, you can add a bright element to the style of your jeans.

Studded jeans.
If you like bold decisions, then try decorating the cuffs of your jeans with spikes or any other bright studs. This decor looks good on narrow models in rich colors. Glue the fittings to the fabric using reliable glue and wait until it is completely dry.
Ready! Studded jeans can be combined with both comfortable sneakers and elegant pumps.
