Fringe has been in fashion full swing for the past six months and is showing no signs of slowing down for fall. Frankly speaking, we couldn’t be more thrilled – it’s flattering and has successfully allowed us to channel Pocahontas in a politically correct way. In case you’re still on the fringe about fringe, we’ve got your back. Read on for all the tips you need to get a real flair for this ˜70s inspired trend.
Bag Lady
Didn’t make it to Coachella this year? No matter, the trick is to fake it ’til you make it. Perfect your boho-chic look with a fringe bag, and people will automatically assume you’re a festival queen. Denim shorts and round sunglasses are optional, but recommended.
Skirt Around the Matter
Unlike Californians, us Northerners don’t get to prance around carelessly in shorts that could also be classified as underwear all year long. For half the year, we live in constant fear of frostbite, so we truly cherish the four months during which we can liberate our legs from their skinny jean prison. Embrace summer and rock a fringed skirt for the warmer months. Not only is it a must-have, it’s also flattering on any body type. Oh and did we mention it looks fantastic while twirling? Hello Instagram photo op!
Go H.A.M.
Relinquish your inner Pocahontas with a head to toe fringe look. Bonus points if you go all suede.
Jack it
Considering the fact that fringe came into fashion in the dead of Canadian winter when all you and your parka could do was watch in dismay as the rest of the world flounced and twirled, it’s likely that you bought one of these to celebrate the coming of spring. If not, call your mom because something tells us you can borrow one from her.
Heel Yea!
If subtlety is your jam and you don’t aspire to look like you just stepped out of the Wild Wild West, then we have just the thing for you. Behold, the fringe heel. All the erratic movement and fun that fringe offers, without the risk of being mistaken for a cowboy.
