It's hard for a piece to feel sophisticated and genuinely fun to wear at the same time, which is why we're psyched that fringe is everywhere and inescapable for spring (and even fall) '15. We're not trying to outrun it. Instead, we're embracing it on the sides of pants, loving it on the edges of skirts, and looking for it on the sleeves of jackets.
Yes, it feels a little daring, but small fashion risks have big rewards — like getting to spin around in a fringed wrap skirt or standing out with a '20s-inspired number. Leather Perfectos get updated with just a little trim, and suede pieces become luxe, western, and wearable. In the video above, we continue our defense of one of this (and next) season's biggest trends. Are you ready to join the fringe group?
