Trend Alert: Fringed Accessories

Fringe has always been a fall trend, but this year it’s back on accessories. You heard me. Fringe is taking over shoes, jewelry and bags this fall. This fall it’s all about a new twist on a old trend. We went out and tracked down some of our favorite fringed pieces just for you. As far as handbags go suede bags are usually expensive, all that has changed with the Suede Fringe Passport Bag from Urban Outfitters. This is a great bag because it comes in 4 great colors and is for a great price. Another great fringed bag is the Fringed Fleece Bag (see left) from Urban Outfitters. This bag is amazing for so many reasons. One reason it’s so great is because it’s made from fleece instead of the more traditional suede fringed bags. It’s made from a vintage sweatshirt and recycled fabrics. Also this bag is a limited edition. Each bag is unique and handmade so no two bags are the same. Another great way to wear fringe is on footwear. Fringed boots are a great addition for your fall wardrobe. For example, the Fringed Short Boot by Minnetonka. This boot puts a spin on the typical ankle boot and it come in 2 classic colors. But fringe isn’t just for boots anymore, now sandals are coming out with fringe detail. Designers such as Betsey Johnson, Marciano, Jeffrey Campbell and Minnetonka are designing flats, moccasins, wedges, heels and sandals sporting fringe. A great sandal we found was the Suede Fringe T Strap Sandal from Urban Outfitters (see right). This sandal is a great way to incorporate fringe into your wardrobe and it comes 3 colors so you can pick the one you like best. Finally another way to wear fringe is jewelry. Designers such as Betsey Johnson and Morningstar are making a statement with fringed earrings and necklaces. We found a great pair of Tiered Fringed Earrings from Urban Outfitters that you can wear with pretty much everything. Whether you wear it on your feet, over your shoulder, or around your neck, all you need to know is its all about fringed accessories for fall.
