By 2025, the trend of clothing personalization had reached its peak. From monograms to intricate embroidery, this movement was evident in everything from makeup bags to sterling silver dinnerware. A quintessential example of this personalization phenomenon is the renowned L.L.Bean Boat & Tote. Additionally, Parisian boutiques such as Louise Carmen’s personalized notebooks and Buly’s engraved hairbrushes and lip balms exemplified this trend. In New York, Abbode has emerged as a leading destination for customized items, offering everything from personalized underwear to custom napkins.
After the recent Spring/Summer 2025 fashion shows, Kristen Nichols, Associate Director of Special Projects, noted that individuality was on the rise, further fueling the personalization movement. Recently, Depop published a trend prediction report for 2026, reinforcing this ongoing interest. Numerous brands are expanding their customization options. For example, Lazy Jamie’s Engravable Gift Shop presents custom dishware options such as serving platters and coffee mugs. Meanwhile, the L.A.-based Charlie Beads offers embroidery services on selected pieces for an extra fee, while Gohar World is favored for unique gifting ideas. Curator Julia Rabinowitsch praises L.L.Bean’s initialed button-downs, describing them on her Substack as “one of the chicest gifts you can give.” The selection of monogrammable products ranges widely, from bedding to bags. Furthermore, J.Crew features an entire section dedicated to personalized options (The Monogram Shop), and Le Labo allows customers to customize any fragrance bottle.

As we move forward, the emphasis on personalization in fashion and lifestyle products will only grow stronger. Customization allows individuals to express their unique identities while enjoying high-quality items that feel personal and special. Whether through monograms, tailored designs, or unique fragrance options, the trend is clearly here to stay.
