Ever had one of those mornings when you’re late, craving a coffee, but your wardrobe looks as though it was raided by someone half asleep? It’s one of those moments where you just want to blend your two worlds together: the need for caffeine and the need to look presentable. Well, as bizarre as it sounds, the fashion world has already made that happen!
Yes, coffee-inspired fashion is a real thing, and it’s more inventive (and weirder) than you could imagine. From clothing to accessories, the love for coffee knows no bounds – and now it’s spilling into your wardrobe. Let’s take a sip (or scroll) through these wonderfully odd trends!
Espresso Bean Jewellery
If you’ve ever wished you could take your love for espresso with you all day, espresso bean jewellery is here to answer your prayers. Jewellery made from roasted coffee beans encased in resin is trending. This includes necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
It’s the perfect accessory for coffee lovers. Wear your passion proudly. Just don’t nibble on your earrings during a caffeine craving. And if you thought coffee was just for drinking, think again – now you can wear it too!
Coffee Stained T-Shirts (On Purpose)
For years, coffee stains have been a nuisance. How often have we spilt some on our favourite white t-shirt, then scrubbed at it with soap? But now, coffee-stained clothing is making a statement in the fashion world, and it’s intentional.
Fashion brands have made our coffee spills a fashion statement. They now sell shirts with artful coffee splash designs. Who knew that your clumsiness would one day become a trend? This one’s perfect for those of us who spill everything; finally, we’re fashionable.
Cappuccino-Coloured Beanies
When winter hits, and the winds get brisk, nothing beats the comfort of a warm beanie – except maybe a hot cappuccino in hand. So why not combine the two? Cappuccino-coloured beanies are trending. They are inspired by the rich, creamy tones of frothy coffee.
These beanies come in an array of delightful shades, from the foam on top to the deeper espresso hues. They’re subtle but oh-so-relatable for those who can’t go a day without their cappuccino fix. A stylish way to keep warm while dreaming of your next coffee run.
Mugs as Handbags
Remember the days when handbags had to be practical? Well, say goodbye to boring bags and hello to the coffee mug handbag! Yes, that’s right. Fashion designers were inspired by our beloved morning mugs. They created quirky, mug-shaped handbags.
These adorable accessories are as functional as they are fun, with enough room to carry your essentials. It’s a playful statement piece that says, “I take my coffee everywhere.” Just make sure not to try and pour actual coffee in it!
Coffee-Scented Scarves
Ever wanted to take the smell of freshly brewed coffee with you all day? Well, coffee-scented scarves are a thing, and they’re designed to keep that heavenly aroma close. These scarves are infused with coffee beans or scented oils, so every time you wrap one around your neck, it’s like walking into a cosy café.
Perfect for those long, dreary commutes when you need an instant pick-me-up. Plus, you’ll get a few curious looks from people trying to figure out where that smell of coffee is coming from.
Latte Art Leggings
Leggings are a wardrobe staple, but when you add coffee into the mix, you’ve got something special. Leggings with latte art, inspired by barista-level coffee, are trending in fashion.
From swirling hearts to delicate rosettas, these leggings are a playful nod to the art behind every great cup. Not only do they look cool, but they’re also the perfect conversation starter for your next coffee shop visit. Who knew leggings could be this caffeinated?
Reusable Coffee Cup Hats
We all love our reusable coffee cups (good for the planet and your daily caffeine fix), but now they’re popping up in fashion as well – as hats! These hats are designed to look like the classic reusable coffee cups, complete with a cup-shaped top and a lid.
It’s quirky, it’s eco-friendly, and it’s a statement for the true coffee enthusiasts who want to show off their love for sustainable sipping. Though it’s definitely on the “weird” side of fashion, it’s bound to make heads turn at the local café.
Coffee Bean Embroidered Jackets
Denim jackets with patches aren’t new. However, the ones with delicate coffee bean embroidery are. These stylish jackets add a touch of coffee love to casual outfits. They’re perfect for coffee lovers wanting subtle details.
The beans are often embroidered on the collar or sleeves. It’s a minimal, clever way to show your love of coffee. Who knew a coffee bean could be so chic?
Mocha-Coloured Chunky Sneakers
Sneakerheads, rejoice! Mocha-coloured sneakers are the new ‘it’ thing. Inspired by the warm, rich tones of your favourite chocolatey drink, these chunky sneakers are taking over street fashion.
They’re not only stylish but also practical, and they give a subtle nod to your coffee obsession without going overboard. Whether you’re heading to the gym or running to your favourite café, these mocha kicks have you covered.
Coffee-Cup Headbands
It might sound absurd, but coffee-cup headbands are popping up in the world of novelty fashion. These headbands feature a miniature coffee cup perched on top, usually with fake steam or “spilled coffee” for a fun effect.
While it might not be an everyday look, it’s certainly a head-turner at coffee-themed parties or quirky events. Sometimes fashion just needs to be a little bit ridiculous to be fun, right?
Flat White-Coloured Trench Coats
The classic trench coat gets a coffee-inspired update with flat white hues. These light, creamy tones modernize the timeless trench coat. They’re perfect for those drizzly British mornings (with a coffee in hand, of course).
A flat white trench coat is sophisticated yet casual and pairs perfectly with any outfit. It’s understated but subtly lets the world know you’re a coffee connoisseur – just don’t spill your actual flat white on it!
