Nothing adds attitude to jackets and backpacks like enamel pins. Coloring Pins offers tons of pins about pop culture, politics and Blackness that are both unique and stylish. Some standouts include a Daria-inspired pin featuring a Black girl called Zaria, which was seen worn in Insecure on HBO, and a crying emoji sporting a bonnet. Plus, the pins usually sell for about $10, so you can afford to buy them all.
