The Return of Fringe
Fringe accessories are making a major comeback in fashion. Designers are incorporating bohemian-inspired fringe trim onto everything from handbags to shoes this season. The free-flowing ornamentation gives a playful and feminine accent to accessories.
Why We Love Fringe
Fringe adds texture, dimension, and movement to accessories and clothing. The delicate strands sway with every step, creating an eye-catching effect. Fringe also has an inherently light and cheerful look that uplifts any outfit.
Fringe for Function
Beyond just aesthetics, fringe serves practical purposes too. Long fringe on scarves keeps you cozy. Short fringe helps visually elongate legs on boots. So form meets function with this fun embellishment.
Wearing Fringe
When styling fringe, balance is key. Pair just one or two fringe-adorned items at a time. Too much fringe can look costumey. For shoes, pick a simple shape like ankle boots and let the fringe be the focal point.
