Fashion Fringe

Fashion Fringe

Fringe, fringe, fringe… This trend is all over the runway and seeping into your closet this season.  We are seeing fringe on everything from purses to skirts, dresses and jackets.

It’s important to note that fringe can add visual weight to an outfit so you want to be sure you integrate some fringe into your wardrobe carefully and cautiously.  An inch or two of fringe at the bottom of a straight skirt is much less imposing than 10 inches at the bottom of a dress.  Also be mindful of how a fringe appears on a jacket.   While it can add a touch of youthfulness and movement it can also add pounds to our midsection.  Love fringe but aren’t sure you want to commit?  Try a simple fringed purse as a spring wardrobe addition.  This way you can explore this fascinating trend without committing to an entire outfit.
