30 Reasons to Binge on Fringe
Fringe — we’re all about it. While it may remind some of us of piñatas and others of epic festival going, fringe is having a major moment right now (and we’re not complaining — um, we love piñatas and music fests?!). The best part about fringe is that you can wear it subtly or sport it from head to toe, depending on how bohemian you’re feeling. From DIY statement necklaces to swimsuits, we’ve rounded up 30 ways to get in on the frilly action.
1. Eliz Fringe Clutch ($114): This super awesome JADEtribe wristlet brings on the fringe in two ways. You’ve got the electric blue yarn fringe around the edges and the suede beaded fringe on the zipper pull. With a colorful accessory like this, who needs great shoes? (Trick question: We all need great shoes. Always.)
2. Sparked Fringed Necklace ($448): This accessory is stun-ning. Made of crystal, wood and silk, this Tataborello necklace makes a large statement — which is, “I’m by far the prettiest fringe necklace in all the land.”
3. DIY Fringe Purses: Whether your fringe hangs low or not, these easy-to-make DIY fringe purses are in season all year ’round. For an understated classy look, go with the ivory and metallic clutch.
