17 Fringed Clothing And Accessories In Every Size That'll Amp Up Any Summertime Look
There’s no doubt that you’ll soon end up with a few fringed fashion items in your wardrobe this spring and summer. That is, if you haven’t already invested in one. Fringe is a major trend among designers for this season and next. Proenza Schouler sent models down the runway in flowing fringed dresses while the look was transformed at Givenchy, where fringed blouses and jackets were the standout pieces. And it doesn’t stop there: Tory Burch, Sonia Rykiel, and even Giambattista Valli all showed fringed pieces in their collections. And if that isn’t enough to convince you that fringe is back in, I don’t know what is.
While fringe can be very reminiscent of the '60s and '70s, its comeback has a much different feel. Instead of being solely reserved for skimming the dust and grass at your favorite music festival, fringe can be the statement detail adding personality to an outfit, as well as eye-catching movement and rhythm.
So in honor of the return of fringe (and in an effort to stay trendy this spring and summer), here are 17 fun and pretty fringed pieces of clothing and accessories. From sandals to bags to kimonos, and in every size, there’s a fringe piece for everyone.
Stiletto
Talk about show stopping. The fringe on these heels is already eye-catching, and the bright blue hue only adds to that. Warning: Not for the weak at heart.
