Every fashionista used to wear a shirt with this patch, but the meaning of it is what you know!

Can not deny the hot, the style of the shirt with a piece of cloth on it but its purpose is not everyone knows.

We must have seen shirts with an elbow patch like this.

At that time, did you wonder why the shirt is so beautiful, but there are more patches that seem irrelevant?

Yet they become a fashion trend. But where does this fashion trend come from?

Back in history, researchers found that this fashion trend initially appeared on military suits.

This is because soldiers often have to roll on the ground, their elbows often have to be grounded, so the fabric here will be thin and torn. That is why old fashioned clothing manufacturers often add one more layer to the soldiers who do not have elbow pain but help the fabric in that place "tear more slowly".

In addition, the ancient photographers also said that adding a layer of fabric at the elbow helps them take photos more conveniently and also saves having to buy new clothes.

By the 1950s, American university students borrowed this idea and turned it into a real fashion trend - called Elbow Patch.

The most popular Elbow Patch trend is still the oval oval patch on the elbow of the sweater, then they are transformed and stylized into other funny shapes like heart shape, star, triangular.

Although these oval patches are not so much used as before, you also have to admit that the patch creates more personality for your sweaters and coats, right?
