Fringe With Benefits

Put down the scissors because this season we are avoiding bangs and embracing the consistently evolving trend of fringe-trimmed attire.

Inspired by the unlikely match of the roaring 1920s and the Wild West, fringed clothing is here to prove fashion can and should be exciting.

Known for functionality, the Western-fringed jacket was originally created to allow for a garment to dry faster when one was caught in the rain. Now, thanks to many people opting for a rain jacket or umbrella instead, the jacket has been exploring some different approaches.

From leather to wool, to suede and metallic, the brightly coloured shades and textures are proving the Wild West trend is a sure way to bring some flare to your wardrobe.

While the jackets are a great pick for layering up, the glamorous flapper-inspired dresses and skirts are a fun alternative to getting a head start on spring fashion.

Representing energetic freedom of women and their escape out of the social norms, the flapper dress executes a pure love-of-life vibe and is a sure mood brightener.

While fringed-trimmed apparel may represent many eras, we think the ones on offer this season may just be the best versions yet.

So, start shaking it up with some of our favourite, playful gems and bring some much-needed pizzazz back into your style.
