Tassels are synonymous with festival season and summer’s go-with-the-flow vibes, so with warmer weather starting to settle in, the playful detail is popping up all over the Insta feeds of your favorite Instababes and celebs. Of course, the question of how to actually wear them after the festival ends has probably crossed your mind. But overcoming the accent’s bohemian flair is surprisingly straightforward. This week’s Three Ways to Wear tapped Lucy Hale, Zoë Kravitz, and Whitney Port for three fashion-forward ways to rock tassels all season long.

Slay, Shay, slay. Tassels are the icing on the cake of Shay Mitchell’s seaside-ready ensemble, adding a bit of extra oomph to a throw-on-and-go poncho.
Take the less-is-more route with a set of tassel-tied suede pumps that are at once sophisticated and snappy, then go bold with the rest of your duds. Exotic mix-and-match prints bring the drama without taking your look OTT, while a sleek top-handle tote and collar necklace ensure your getup stays grounded in girlboss territory.

Oh, hey there, Zoë Kravitz. Lookin’ fly in those metallic tassel drops. The casually cool robe keeps things real by lending a lazy-girl-gone-glam vibe to the starlet’s after-hours look.
When things start to heat up, take a step back from your standard LBD routine and get ready to embrace carefree silhouettes and vibrant colors. This lightweight maxi is packed with polish and panache but will keep you cool while you schmooze and sway to the beat. Dress up its free-wheelin’ feel with statement tassel drops, colorful kicks, and a punchy makeup for a FROW ready look.

How to Wear Tassels on the Weekend
Whitney Port would totally nail the tassel trend while simultaneously pulling off the most perfect picnic of all time. Her tassel-trimmed frock was practically made for sipping rosé in the park.
Tassels and bold embroidery come together on a bright bohemian blouse that is ready for all the laid-back events on your social calendar. Be it a backyard bash or Taco Tuesday, the scene-stealing topper will keep the good vibes alive from dawn until dusk when paired with cheery yellow mules, ’70s-inspired shades, and punchy embroidered clutch.
