Rocking a fringe piece is not for the fashionably cavalier. If you don’t execute your look properly, you could end up looking less rocker chic and more crazy chick. However, there is a reason why fringe-adorned jackets and tops have existed in the ever-stylish wardrobes of seventies rockers, jet-setting supermodels, and anyone with real, nonconforming style—fringe is crazy cool. Whether you’re new to the game, or own a little bit of fringe already, look to these fashionable pieces for a very vogue wardrobe update.
Raquel Allegra Fringed T-Shirt Dress: Everyone you meet will remember this t-shirt dress; it’s a true standout piece. Winterize it with tights and leather pants (plus, this will be an awesome summery dress with open-toed shoes and a fedora hat!).
Milly Fringed Woven Skirt: This skirt is the cure to your cocktail party blues. LBDs are classics, no doubt, but can get tiring when you wear them for just about every upscale occasion. Instead, opt for this swingy, fringed skirt. Just add a silk camisole and the matching bolero jacket, or a shimmering, long-sleeved top of your choosing. You’ll look sophisticated, chic, and have the most intriguing outfit in the room.
Cusp by Neiman Marcus Fringe-Trim Leather Jacket: When leather and fringe get together, cool people follow. That is just the case with this creation courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Throw it on before quickly heading out the door, or make it the focal point of your outfit: it will be attention-grabbing either way.
Topshop Fringe Shoulder Tee: If you’re a little shy when it comes to fringe, start out with this Topshop tee. It’s subtle, but still makes a stylish statement. Pair it with boyfriend jeans and ankle booties, or layer it over a black slip dress.
Michael Kors Fringe Hem Cowl Neck Sweater: Cozy sweaters are a fall essential for every girl. So why not kill two birds with one stone and choose this fringe version? Available in four colors, from classic camel to a deep charcoal gray (try the gray one out with winter white jeans, not every outfit has to be black!), feel free to stock up and stay cozy (and cute) until summertime.
