Have you ever had a jacket, blouse, vest, or bag that fit perfectly, but the buttons looked a bit dull or outdated? Or are you tired of a basic item, but don't want to buy something new? Meet the button cover: the most versatile styling hack of the season.
For anyone who loves a sustainable wardrobe and enjoys giving their daily outfits a personal twist, a button cover (or button cap) is an indispensable addition. But what exactly can you do with them?
What is a button cover?
A button cover is a decorative accessory that you simply click over an existing button. You don't need to change anything about your garment. It is the fastest way to transform a basic piece into a unique item with character.
4 Creative ways to style button covers
The fun part of button covers is that you can experiment with them endlessly. Here are some ideas to get you started:
-
Upgrade your sleeves and collar: A simple blouse or blazer gets an instant luxe look by adding button covers to the cuffs or collar. It’s a subtle detail that makes a big impact.
-
Mix & match for a playful effect: Why choose just one style? Combine different button covers on a single piece for a unique, personal look. Or use just one as an eye-catcher in a prominent spot.
-
Create your own unique accessories: You can even use a button cover on items that don't have buttons! Simply sew on a small button in the desired spot on your scarf, bag, or T-shirt. Or attach the button easily by hand using a needle and thread. Click your favorite button cover on top, and voilà: you’ve added a beautiful accent that you can remove whenever you like.
-
The 2-in-1 trick (Pin + Button Cover): Did you know our button covers are often multifunctional? By inserting a pin, you can turn your button cover into a decorative pin in seconds. This way, you can wear your accessory not just on a button, but also on a lapel, a hat, or directly onto the fabric of your jacket.
Why button covers fit 'All Day Essentials'
At Just the Jacket, we believe style doesn't have to be complicated. It’s all about cherishing what you already own. By using button covers, you give your 'all day essentials' a second life. You can adapt your outfit to your mood in the morning: choose a chic silver cover for a business meeting, or go for something colorful when you’re feeling creative.
How to choose the right button cover?
When selecting your button covers, pay attention to the size of the buttons you want to cover. Most covers are suitable for standard-sized buttons, but always check to ensure the click mechanism fits snugly.
