Trend Review: Tassels & Fringes

Like with the ties, this is the kind of trend that, once it's over, is really easy to fix. It's also one that goes in-and-out of fashion a lot, so it's not a bad one to buy into.

Another cool thing is, it's really easy to stick tassels or fringes onto pretty much any wearable item, so it's cheap to upgrade what you already own, and it can be worn by, and flattering for, anyone who shops around.

Bag tassels are the most common item right now, especially in single tassels, but fringe dresses have been all over red carpet dresses as well, so it's a versatile trend in a lot of ways.

Personally, I see tassels as a very summery, casual trend which is what a lot of the items I was able to find seemed to be based around. I wouldn't want to wear a tassel sandal to a fancy dinner, for example, but they're very much festival-worthy. So, as much as our celebrity idols may like to wear them, it definitely depends on the rest of the garment as to where you would wear them. The black dresses pictured are definitely more of a formal dinner date look, and the statement necklaces could be worn just about anywhere if styled the right way.
