"Embroideries have been called the craft of two hands and have always found their way in fashion across the globe since ancient times. "I bought a suede skirt with bold floral embroidery a couple of years ago because it looked unique. Since adding texture is another way to make this trend stand out, how about pairing a black silk shirt with an A-line embroidered, velvet mini? Want to go casual chic? Layer a shirt with floral motifs under a suede shirt and polish the look with leather pants. They are further notorious for making the garment special as the tradition of handcrafting goes a long way,” says city-based designer Runa Ray, drawing upon its history.According to Bengaluru-based fashion blogger Nilu Yuleena Thapa, this is a classic. If it’s a top or kurta, then pair it with a bright colour which contrasts with the colour of the applique to make it look visually appealing,” says city-based stylist Nishka Guleria Naidu, deriving her aesthetic from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Ralph Russo and Paolo Sebastian. And in terms of styling, they follow a similar rule.

A process in which additional fabric is sewn onto a design, creating a decorative 3D effect, floral appliqués are now making a comeback too. Guess it’s time to sew up spring then!. In what’s one step further from Gucci-inspired embroidered patches, this season, it’s time to add a hint of spring to your wardrobe with floral embroidery and appliqués. For a classic combination with a twist, marry a crisp white shirt with a pair of embroidered high-waisted jeans.Your safest bet to dipping your toe in this trend is an embroidered jacket. Now that this embellishment is becoming more industrial and mass produced, Runa notes that designers are trying to fight fast fashion houses – especially those that copy products off the runway. If your jeans have appliqué detailing, opt for a neutral top and very edgy shoes to draw attention downwards. "I see myself wearing a floral embroidered biker jacket with skirts, denims, and even a simple dress that highlights the embroidery,” adds the blogger at Big Hair Loud Mouth. Its novelty and possibility to style in many different ways is what makes the piece versatile
