Badges and patches trend

This week I saw a girl with the bag full of pins and patches stating political, social, and comedic beliefs and I thought this was a quite  literal way to show who you are. I remember when I was in highschool and everyone used to pin and patch their backpack with whatever bands or funny slogans were cool at the time. However,when it comes to custom patches, they never seem to go out of style. They can be used to make a style statement or they can be used to cover up frayed and old clothes. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why decorative patches never seem to die. They can always make clothes look fresh and unique, while doing away the need of spending money to buy new clothes.
