The Statement Button Trend Making Waves in Designer Fashion

The Statement Button Trend Making Waves in Designer Fashion - STELLA ROSE FASHIONS


Fashion’s smallest detail is making the biggest impact.

Buttons aren’t just for holding things together anymore – they’re holding court on runways and city streets alike. This season, buttons are stepping out of the background and taking centre stage as the ultimate statement accessory. From oversized accents to bold rows marching down a tailored blazer, designers are reimagining buttons in unexpected and eye-catching ways.

At Stella Rose Fashions, we’re seeing this fresh take come through in standout pieces from labels like Joseph Ribkoff, Trelise Cooper, Monari, FOIL Clothing, and MOS MOSH – where the humble button transforms classic shapes into conversation starters.






Designers are embracing this tiny detail in a big way: think sculptural closures on structured coats, contrasting buttons on elegant jackets, and elevated detailing on luxury knitwear. Whether it’s a single statement button fastening a cape-style coat or a row of tortoiseshell edging a soft cardigan, the result is equal parts polished and playful.

Why We Love the Button Trend

What’s most exciting about this trend is its ability to express individuality. Vintage-style buttons, military-inspired detailing, and bold textures turn everyday wardrobe staples – like denim jackets, wool coats, and fine-knit cardigans – into unique fashion moments. A classic coat takes on a whole new attitude when adorned with gold crested buttons. A minimalist cardigan becomes instantly elevated with a row of oversized mother-of-pearl.

How to Wear the Button Trend:


Go bold on outerwear

Look for coats and jackets with oversized or high-contrast buttons – they instantly make a statement.


Layer with intention

Choose vests or blazers with vertical button placements to elongate your silhouette and draw the eye.


Get creative

Swap out existing buttons on jackets or knits for your own vintage or custom finds to refresh timeless staples.


Let the buttons shine

Keep accessories simple – clean lines and minimal jewellery ensure your statement buttons take the spotlight.
