Forget what you know about cowboys and Indians. This is not an ode to beaded DIY fringed tees in rainbow tie-dye. Nor does it include any Wild West boot behaviour. New Year’s Eve might be over but the party is just getting started.
Fringing has got a new groove and it’s disco inspired. Spacey pom poms and rhinestone strings. A sensual vision reminiscent of a young Cher dancing deep into the night at Studio 54. Gatsby flapper dresses in starburst colours give this swish a tropical update. The comeback of these delicate tentacle-esque details has been likened to jellyfish. Which is somewhat fitting since a neon under-the-sea atmosphere is where this embellishment shines best.

Hands up, in dance motion, with the bright lights. And, although this textured accent is not for the faint hearted, there is a myriad of ways to adorn your after-dark swish.
Here’s how to style your fringe fantasy just so.
Shagged

Shagged
The ultimate party-girl essential. A fringe-heavy coat closely resembling a Moroccan berber rug will bedazzle any outfit. Even wear it with jeans for a laid-back glow. Just don’t forget a thick dash of white eyeliner under the lower lash line and chandelier earrings.

Party Pouch
These tasselled party wristlets are our object of desire. Taking the term ‘arm candy’ quite literally. So sweet in sumptuous velvet and glittering sequins. The drawstring handle is almost delicate enough to be a bracelet, allowing for easy champagne sipping.

Even if your hips don’t move like Shakira’s, this Spanish-inspired skirting with a fringed hem will do wonders with optical illusion. Simply swish side-to-side and let the textures do the work. Wear a silk asymmetric top to leave one shoulder bare and a slick hair bun for Bianca Jagger status.

Put your best fringe forward. Sexy 70s hoops. Sleazy strappy heels. And an all-up-in-here raffia dress. Keep the cut barely there. Go for tropical colours over black (it’s been done). Add metallics for bonus points with 90s ironed-straight hair. Own it with attitude.
