Trend To Try: Patchwork

Patchwork squares strategically placed on baggy boyfriend jeans take contemporary shape this season, although we'll never forget the '90s trend that inspired the throwback movement. Unsure how to rock them in 2014? Team yours with a loose-fit tee and point-toe pumps for street style-savvy results.
