Fringe: Factor it in your wardrobe this season
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Everything in moderation is something my father always told us. Of course, he wasn’t talking fashion, but it is a good motto to live by and apply to many facets of life – including fashion.
I love mixing trends and styles: slouchy pants with a girly top, tough boots with a flowey dress and my favorite trend of all time- studs. I will buy and wear just about anything with studs and love to pair it with sweet tops.
Fringe is not a new trend, especially with handbags and shoes, but it is a trend that is worthy of mentioning again because it has longevity. Really. Last year we saw fringe details from the top designers and again they did it this year.
Joie is a perfect example of the fringe trend transcending from last year to now. The did a cute flat fringe boot and reinvented the style in a heel for fall. The Rockefella is gorgeous and the perfect heel. We love the Mushroom color- so neutral.
Twelfth Street handbags have a subtle use of fringe making the Smith Couture Bucket Bag a must have for anyone wanting to wear the trend, but wants it in moderation.
Ella Moss Black Label is all about ruffles and fringe and tiers. That’s why we love it so. The Ella Moss Black Label Coco Cami is a fantastic fit and has the softest fringe. It moves beautifully with the body. We love it back to colored denim, distressed shorts from Current/Elliott and even back to white linen pants for a night out.
Looking for an easy way to transition into this trend for fall in a subtle way?
Look at scarves for inspiration. We love the scarves from Shawlsmith London for the fringe detail and for seasonal colors.
So, wear fringe in moderation with accessories or wear it all out in a top or dress, but whatever way you decide, Factor Fringe into your Fall wardrobe.
