5 Easy Ways to Style Lapel Pins (Without Looking Like a Cub Scout)

Because you’re not earning badges—you’re serving looks.

So you’ve got a stack of adorable, spooky-cute lapel pins just dying to come out of that drawer. But every time you pop one on, you’re wondering if you’re channeling ✨fashion icon✨ or summer camp dropout.

Fear not, villainous vixen—we got you. Here's how to slay the pin game without giving "den mother."


1. Denim Jackets, but Make It Drama

The classic, but never boring.
Throw a pastel or black denim jacket over literally anything and use your pins like glam goth confetti. Cluster them on one shoulder for a power move, or line the lapel like a crown for your collar.

Pro tip: Mix big and small pins for dimension. Add some chain or crystal accents for ✨extra✨.


2. Bag It Up, Babe

Your backpack, tote, or crossbody is a blank canvas.
Add 1–3 pins to your fave bag to let the world know you’re here to slay...and maybe summon some stylish spirits.

Go for a theme: all ghosts, all villains, or all rainbow horror cuties. Because cohesion = 👑.


3. Hats Off (or On) to Statement Accessories

Beanies, bucket hats, or wide-brim witchy numbers are perfect real estate.
A single pastel skull on a black hat? Iconic.
A row of teeny villain heads on a beret? Main character energy.

You’re not hiding under that hat—you’re announcing your arrival.


4. On Your Collars, Darling

Collars are made for flair.
Pin a bold villain under one collar point and something cheeky or spooky under the other. It’s like shoulder angels... if they were both up to no good.

Bonus: Button-ups with removable collars give you a rotating accessory playground.


5. The Unexpected Places Rule

Because why not pin your sock? Or the pocket of your fave hoodie? Or the side of your leggings when you’re feeling extra?

Your personality doesn’t fit in a box—neither should your pins.


⚡ Your Style, Your Rules

You weren’t made to blend in—and neither were your accessories.
Wear your pins loud. Wear them proud. And if someone says you look like a Cub Scout?

Tell them you’re earning badges in being fabulous.
