I can't adjust my eyes to LIKE these things.. we used to do this to our worn out jeans centuries ago... they look really thrift store... but i guess stuff from the thrift store is stylish. beats me.

For me, it depends.

 

When I was a kid, I remember my mom ironing on or sewing patches on my jeans to cover actual holes, not as a decoration. She'd hide them when she could, but sometimes it wasn't possible. When you're a kid and you're hard on clothes or grow out of them quickly, it makes sense. But I hated those patches and don't want them on my clothes as an adult.

 

That said, I can appreciate a cute applique or accent that's placed well and looks deliberate.

I have Martha Stewart's patchwork jeans and when I wore them out for lunch/shopping, several people stopped me to ask where I got them.

Ok.  But I hope you know you aren't required to like everything...lol   You can even hate things...lol    I don't like jeans with patches either and I'm pretty sure that won't change.  At 58, that's a look that just isn't for me.  Like jeans that are overly distressed; cool and modern though they are....they aren't for me.
