The fringe trend that started quietly over the summer with Minnetonkas and embellished sandals has now escalated into the realm of
handbags.
These accessories can lend your look a cool bohemian vibe, but avoid pairing with other fringe and feather pieces, cowboy boots, or bellbottoms. Otherwise, you run the risk of looking like Pocahontas, a cowgirl, or a ‘70s revival, respectively. Look no further than these fashionable ladies for how to wear fringe flawlessly.
Style icons
Mary-Kate, Ashley Olsen and Victoria Beckham regularly rely on an old Prada fringed favorite. British songstress Leona Lewis also has a similar Prada tote from that same spring 2007 season. See, fashion always recycles itself!
The Hills’ Whitney Port keeps her vintage western-inspired bag fresh with leopard print. Ashlee Simpson totes the roomy
Stuart Weitzman suede “Frobo” bag, which is slightly rock ‘n roll. Vanessa Hudgens has been spotted with
Botkier’s “Morgan”
satchel, an edgy balance of
black leather fringe and silver hardware.
Ashley Tisdale takes the trend one step further with her bold purple
JJ Winters cross-body bag. This High School Musical star really loves her colored fringe – she also has the
Nine West Dakota
tote in turquoise.
It’s a fabulous time to fall for fringe!
