A popular micro trend this season is Exposed Zippers. You'll see them on leggings, sweatshirts, handbags, skirts, jeans, etc. It adds an element of interest and coolness to a rather basic garment.

Who would've thought that a plain ol' zipper can be used in so many different artistic ways.

See how different bloggers from all over styled their "exposed zipper" pieces and also below an awesome DIY tutorial on how to add a zipper to an article of clothing you'd like to revamp.
