Studded items of clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery have been stated to carry an edgy characteristic about them.
When just about every fashionista of all types; from the princess-y demure doll-like to outrageously gothic punk rockstar-esque have been seen to sport the same kind of stud-manic look, you’ll start to wonder if there was truly ever an edge in studs.
In actuality, it is the character of the wearer of studs that brings out the edge instead of the other way round but I can understand the visual edginess that oozes out of these shiny metallic things as they glimmer by themselves. The fact that the spiky ones can be pokey is one we should all be concerned about.
Anyway, an already studded piece of clothing can be expensive especially if it carries a popular designer name that you may have to fast for about a month or two if you’re broke and obsessed.
But guess what, with the Internet, you can scour the whole virtual universe for DIY tutorials in the form of blog postings and YouTube videos on how to stud pretty much everything that you want to have studded. I’m talking about clothes, shoes, belts, that kind of stuff here, so please do not stud yourselves.
