How to Style Messy Pins on Your Work Lanyard

Let's face it: lanyards aren't the supermodels of workplace fashion. They're practical, sure, but stylish? That's a hard nope — until now. Enter Messy Pins. Yes, those tiny powerhouses of personality are here to turn your lanyard from a snoozefest to a conversation starter.

Add Some Personality
Are you the office introvert who lives for coffee? Slap on a "Can't Adult Today" pin and watch your coworkers nod in agreement. Love plants? A cute succulent pin will have you sprouting compliments left and right.

Color Coordinate Your Mood
Feeling sassy? Go for bright, bold pins. Want to fly under the radar? Subtle monochrome pins can keep it classy. Either way, your lanyard will look like it graduated from "meh" to masterpiece.

Play the Theme Game
Is it time for the holiday party? Pop on a winter wonderland pin. Pride Month? Rock a rainbow flag pin. Themed pins show you're festive and fabulous — and let's be honest, HR will love it.

 Use Pins as Conversation Starters
That "Powered by Prozac" pin? It's funny and relatable and likely makes the breakroom coffee line way more entertaining. Use your pins to say what your work badge can't.

Go All-In
Who says you need just one or two pins? Turn that lanyard into a gallery of quirky awesomeness. Just ensure it's still functional — no one wants to hear your boss ask why your badge won't scan because it's buried under all your pins.

Pro Tip: Get creative, but don't forget the golden rule: your lanyard = your vibe. So, whether you're Team Subtle or Team More Is More, own it and let those pins do the talking. Note: Messy Pins is not responsible for your employment status for an inappropriate pin. Please use common sense!

Now go forth and pin-ify your work lanyard. Remember, Monday mornings won't feel as painful when your lanyard looks this good. 😉
