Fringe fatale

From the runway to the red carpet, one thing is clear — fringe is totally in, and rocking the look isn’t just for the festival set anymore. From intricate formal wear like sexy fringe dresses to stylish accessories, especially in the form of fringed earrings, incorporating the trend into your wardrobe is fun, easy and sexy. Add a touch of the 70s to your look with tassel accoutrements that are slightly bohemian with a shade of art deco decadence but if you are the one who loves delicate materials then go for all kinds of chic pieces in the form of delicate hangings and earthy beaded variations.

Pick the length of the tassel of your choice and choose flowing designs in tiny metal chains, fabrics, beads or go au naturel and embrace feathers. Other than that, tassels are a stylish way to incorporate exotic colours to your otherwise dull winter closet. Try bright and vivid hues. Hot colours this season are orange, maroon, purple and blues, which also mean that you can don tasselled earrings that come in amethyst, magnesite, abalone shell, sapphires and citrines.

For all the lovely minimalistic loving fashionistas, earrings that feature more muted tones such as gold, white gold and silver in charming classics are the way to go about it. Since the fringe earrings are available in funky and non-traditional shapes you can create a fusion and pair them with conventional saris, suits and lehengas. Lastly, don’t forget to highlight the look by donning a high ponytail, bun or a braid.
