The Stud Trend Is Everywhere Right Now – 29 Pieces We Love
From Chloé’s iconic Autumn/Winter 2024 collection to a slew of high-street dupes, statement jeans, and the return of the rock ‘n’ roll belt, the stud is adorning just about everything this season. Here’s how to work the trend that will instantly add some edge to all your new-season looks.
If you’re looking to up the cool factor this season, this is a surefire and easy way to do it. The stud is having a renaissance moment and it’s giving us all the early noughties feels, from indie sleaze-esque accessories to timeless leather jackets that will make you feel like a rock star. Although stud-adorned pieces usually feel edgy, softer ways exist to work the trend. A stud-embellished ballet flat paired with a floaty maxi skirt or a butter-soft leather bag with oversized studded details makes the final flourish feel a little more demure.
Look to the Insta set for inspiration, from UK-based Hang Rutjes and her statement leather jacket with studded cuffs or Tijan Mazour, whose stud belt makes a simple baggy jeans and T-shirt combo instantly cooler.
Hero pieces include everything from Chloé‘s new hobo bag spruced up with button-size studs – Zara has a great high street dupe – as well as Reformation’s studded seam jeans that will bring a cool-girl vibe to all your festive party looks. On the high street, our top pick has to be shoes, though, from & Other Stories’ fierce point-toe mules to Zara’s cute off-white ballet flats with their mix of irregular-sized studs. Wear with black baggy jeans, a white tee and a blazer for a monochromatic look or be brave and embrace the ‘wrong shoe theory‘ and pair with some fashion editor-approved sporty tracksuit bottoms.

Shoes are an easy way to work the trend without feeling too edgy, especially in the form of a pair of coquettish ballet flats. We particularly love them paired with slouchy socks just like influencer Veneti has done here.
