Fringe Benefits | Trend on the Move for Home and Fashion

Staying up to date on each season’s trends can be a fun way to mix up your wardrobe and ramp up your style. What’s so fun about fringe is the implied motion of it; the full effect of fringe is best captured in movement, so when you’re wearing fringe, you might be inspired to do a spin or a model strut to show off the true beauty of the look.

Fringe is also incredibly versatile and adaptable; we’ve seen the classic motifs of leather-fringed western wear, flapper-inspired tassels and elements of boho-chic. It adorns shoes, coats, skirts and accessories. The materials used can range from suede to silk to sequins. There is truly a fringe look for every fashion style. But this season, we are seeing that the fringe trend can be refined and elegant, too.

A unique take on this trend is that we are seeing many designers playing with the element of scale in their latest collections. Many fringe elements are overtly long and dramatic, from Bottega’s floor-grazing shoulder bags, to full-length fringe skirts from Herve Leger, the longer the fringe, the better!

There is no easier way to add a bold statement to any look than to add this fun feature. It can be as simple as the hem of a little black dress, or as bold as several layers in various materials on a jacket. The possibilities are endless. The impact of a little fringe fashion on a silhouette is enough to take an outfit from blasé to WOW!

So, enjoy yourself, have some fun and do a little twirl!
