Top 5 Reasons Why You Need Lapel Pins In Your Life
When you think of the words “lapel pins” your eyes might roll as your mind recalls a time long past where brooches dominated clothing accessories. I hate to break it to you though, they’re back and they’re back for men and women. Be it a high fashion statement like Chanel pins adorning suit jackets on the red carpet or custom lapel pins attached to your children’s backpacks, they’re no longer a niche collectible token. Here are 10 ways your life can brighten up a tad with a little metal pin.
Bring Back the Suits
As women’s fashion sense evolved from the heavy, stiff wools and cottons of yesteryear the decorative brooches slowly drifted out of style. As you well notice, fashion is fast moving and the choice of fabrics in everyday wear represent the transient nature of the current age. Light, free flowing synthetic fabrics don’t necessarily hold up to the heavy brooches of the past. Luckily for us, as environmentally consciousness takes root in our society, so does the appreciation of natural fabrics. Suits and jackets are a perfect canvas to spruce up with a lapel pin. Turn the mundane and utilitarian into eye-catching, envy inspiring outfits.
Speak Your Personality
The customizability of lapel pins have started to shine on online marketplaces where artists sell their wares reflecting their interests and passions. It doesn’t matter how small your fandom is or how niche it might be – there’s a lapel pin out there for you, or perhaps even more than one. If an image can speak a thousand words, so can a pin. Your choice in adornment can spell out everything that you are, no explanations needed. A nice side effect of this would be easily finding like-minded people that happen to notice your unique assortment of pins.
Show Your Support
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that our youth are becoming more aware of their world and its politics and social issues. With fantastic avenues to express their support and love for the causes they champion, such as Twitter and Instagram, they feel empowered to join the conversation. What lapel pins can do for this generation is speak volumes without opening one’s mouth. Showcasing your support for your causes with a custom enamel pin just makes sense and can be a subtle ice breaker or a signal to those who think just like you.
Raise Money
Do you remember selling those candy bars during high school to raise money for your club or class? Or how about bake sale fundraisers during college? Of course, the food based fundraising is a delicious go-to when the need arises but lapel pins are a great substitute. They are more personal, targeted and an undying way for people to show they’re generosity and support.
Make Your Business Successful
The little lapel pin might be small in stature but it is immense in its ability to add value to your business’s marketing ventures and product offerings. Pins are the best giveaways at booths and conventions as the culture of the business world already leans in the direction of pin wearing. The most interesting way lapel pins can enhance your business is serving as a whole new product line. Custom lapel pins with your company’s branding or pins that represent your individual products and services adds a whole new source of revenue. In these trying times, a little more income doesn’t hurt.
