6 Times Olivia Palermo Made Us Want to Wear Fringe
Recommended for you
Few people could convince us that fringe is an everyday wear kind of detail. But Olivia Palermo can. The full-fledged fashion muse has made a solid case time and again for the tasseled styles with her refined, yet unfussy approach to the trend — always nodding to bohemian-style, but magically, in her hands, also strikingly fashion-forward — showing how effortlessly the stringy embellishments can add drama to any outfit, day or night. And with the NYFW staple as your go-to guide, you too can nail this frilly look for fall. Scroll through for sartorial inspiration from six times OP wow-ed us in fringe + the lookalike staple pieces you need.
1. Fringe Jacket: This ’80s biker babe staple is reimagined as a modern badass cover up that still gives any outfit that extra edge. Whether you choose a version in suede or faux leather ($80), make sure its cut is cropped and its shape is boxy.
2. Fringe Dress: Yes, you totally can wear a fringe dress and not look like a Gatsby fangirl. All it takes is a little bit of stylistic effort — finding the right dress ($298) (aka not a drop-waist shift) and accessorizing it unmistakably 2015 from head to toe — try chunky pumps, a delicate necklace and a #wokeuplikethis pony.
3. Fringe Shoes: Liv is famous for for her playful style touches, like the unexpected pop of color from her strappy tassel heels in an otherwise all-black get up (this girl knows how to wear shoes). As you can see, a pair of fringed flats ($138) can amp up a ho-hum ensemble to enviable levels.
4. Fringe Coverup + Necklace: This might be the chicest way to layer ever. Take a cue from Olivia and toss on a fringy statement coat — we’d opt for a knee-length kimono ($40) in almost any case — and be sure to bring the boudoir-to-the-bar look together with a tasseled necklace in a matching hue.
5. Fringe Skirt + Belt: Always keep in mind that an asymmetric hem is key to pulling off a fringed skirt ($72) in an effortlessly modern way. Keep the entire look eclectic by pairing it with a plaid shirt (genius move, Liv) and a statement belt (with more tassels!). If you don’t already have a go-to strapper, consider this your official call to action.
6. Fringe Bag: Investing in a killer fringe bag ($48) is hands down the easiest way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe this fall. Clutch, crossbody or bucket bag — it doesn’t matter. As long as the fringe is flowing, you can’t go wrong!
