wraps, ponchos and stoles adorned with fringes.
If made in pastel shades fringe-dresses look
demure and subtle. Leather or darker materials
on the other hand in black or dark blue shades
look bold and punkish.
In recent times, fringes can be seen
incorporated on blouse sleeves, long kurtas
and even sarees. Fringes to the pallu add
an extra gorgeous six to eight inches to
the garment giving the wearer a flowy
look. Today one can see a lot of mix and
match sarees, that are not made from a
single piece of cloth but have a different
border. Fringes look great on net
sarees, georgettes and even lehengas,
ghararas and shararas.
As www.stylecaster.com puts it,
“Fringe, Fringe and More Fringe —
let it all hang loose in 2020, baby!
Expect a major fringe trend from
all your favourite brands in the
coming season.” On a similar
vein, www.glowsy.com adds,
“Nouveau Fringe—we saw a lot
of dresses with fringe bottoms
in the previous season, so for
the spring 2020 fashion trends,
it was nice to see fringe make a
comeback as a trend, but in a
different manner. We were most
impressed with Area, where
it seemed as though every
fringe-embellished garment
was unique in its own way. We
saw glimmering fringed beltskirts,
large fringes made of
fabric exploding from beneath
blazers, and even a totally fringed dress
towards the closing of the show.”
So take a look around and let it all in.
