This summer has seen the arrival of many different trends; crop tops, maxi dresses, oversized glasses, leotards, the list goes on... But one trend that has never really gone away in the fashion circle is fringing, aka, tassels.

First worn by Daisy Duke, the fashionable fringing definitely has American heritage and for that we have much to be thankful for.

Its been huge on the festival front this summer and it’s likely to continue for years to come with handbags hosting the fringe effect. Pixie Lott, Beyonce and Paris Hilton are all huge fans and the high streets now recognise this; its not just the big designer labels sporting fringing anymore.

Handbags, shoes and boots, belts and most recently waistcoats all following the trend and they look fantastic. Try cowboy boots, denim shorts and a white T with a fringed waistcoat for cool shabby-chic look. Or team a black maxi dress with a fringed holdall for an edgy, grown up look.

Get the look nailed!
