How to Wear Fringed Outfits and Clothing

If you have a love for fashion, you’ve probably been following the latest fashion trends to hit fashion week and are already stocking up on fringed clothing and accessories. But, if you haven’t had time to figure out the ins and outs of wearing fringe, I’m here to help you learn how to wear fringed outfits and clothing in preparation of showing off your fashion know-how and trendy wardrobe.

First and foremost, you should realize that fringe isn’t something to be afraid of, but if you’re new to wearing fringe, consider going small at first before incorporating it into your main articles of clothing.

Some accessories that you’ll be able to find with fringe are:

• Bracelets: A bold chunky leather bracelet with fringe along the sides or as a focal point in the center would be eye-catching.
• Necklaces: Necklaces with leather or corded fringe create interest.
• Earrings: Earrings with small tufts of fringe to create a dangle effect are stunning.
• Purses: A standard purse or even a classy hobo bag with fringe can be extremely classy-casual.  
• Shoes: Heels, flats, and boots can all be found with a slight fringe at the toe or along the sides. They can help to create visual interest and longer lines.

While this may seem very small in comparison to what the fashion trend calls for, you’d be surprised to find just how much visual interest even the smallest amount of fringe can provide to an outfit.

Now, if you’re a little bolder with fashion, you may want to skip the accessories and move forward with something a little bit more risky. Try on a loose jacket or coat with fringe at the hem-line. These fringed edges help to create a great deal of interest while elongating the lines of your legs. When paired with the textures of print or other fabrics, it can definitely send that “wow” factor that you’re looking for.

If wearing fringe on your coat is out due to warm weather, try adding the fringe to the hem of a fringe skirt instead. Not only does it create a great look, it adds movement to your outfit as well with every step that you take. Remember though, when playing with hemline fringe, you want to make sure that the rest of the look is nicely understated and accentuates the overall appearance of the outfit as a whole.

Now, if you’re far more adventurous with your wardrobe, you can pull out all of the stops with the new fringe fashion trend. If you’re feeling a little more risqué, try wearing a fully fringed skirt. They will have a higher cut that moves with you and creates a whirlwind of interest. You can even pair your fringed dress with a fringe jacket to add additional texture and layers to the stunning look. Remember though; don’t go overboard as it’s easy to push it so far that it looks like a costume. Pair your fringe with minimalist designs to offset the bold flavor of fringe.

Another thing to bear in mind is the construction and overall fabric choices when selecting your fringed pieces. Some fabrics of course will lend themselves better to fringe than others. Some of the most popular fringe fabrics are:

Leather

Leather will create a harsher and edgier look. You should pair it with fabrics that are lighter to create a cohesive balance.

Suede

Suede is a very earthy fabric that creates a great deal of texture on its own, adding in fringe boosts the interest. Try not to overdo suede.

Chiffon

Chiffon may seem too soft to boast fringe, but it can create a stunning airy effect with fringed hems.

Cotton

Cotton is the perfect go-to fabric for fringe, especially when you want to wear a t-shirt dress.

At the end of the day, with fringe it’s best to stick to what you’re comfortable with. Play with the fringe texture to see what does and doesn’t go well with the outfit. From classy to casual, it’s absolutely possible to create an on-trend fringe look for every second of the day while maintaining an air of sophistication, fun, and flintiness.

When I was young, I used to engage in numerous school and community sports events, specifically volleyball and badminton. I wasn't just a geek. I was also into sports.

As part of any sports team, our group should look, feel and of course, dress the part. We needed jerseys or sports uniform to support and showcase our school and community in any sports competition.  During my time,  we had to request sponsorship from small business, generous individuals to cover the overall cost of the uniforms, food, and other incidental charges.

Sports uniform today is a departure from my generation. There are plenty of styles, colours, and designs to choose from nowadays. During my time, you actually have to go to the tailor shop and you can either bring your own design or pattern or choose from the ones that they already have and submit for customisation. This generation has better options. You can still go to the tailor or buy online which will save you time and effort.

If you decide to go online for your sportswear, you can scour the internet for numerous resources. One that stands out is LogoSportswear. It is a leading online sports outfitter and has been in the business for the last 20 years.

You can decide to choose LogoSportswear Polos for the coach and LogoSportswear Custom Jerseys for the players. Your sports uniform will definitely standout!

Chic Bridesmaid Dresses

There are plenty of ways to dress up now in a wedding event. During my time, the norm was to wear something fancy all the time as wedding events are considered formal. Everyone was expected to dress to the nines.

Times have changed. Young ladies and girls can now wear chic and updated styles of bridesmaid gowns that will suit a fancy affair especially if the wedding's attire is casual to formal.

More and more hip and modern couple opt for a casual to semi-formal attire for their entourage and guests. These bridesmaid dresses are more affordable than the formal wear. You can still wear a floor length gown even when the attire calls for a casual wear as long the gown does not have luxurious materials and glamorous embellishments that can categorise it as being formal.

So, which dresses can be considered as acceptable for casual to semi-formal event? Here are some pointers:

Length

Casual dresses will usually be short and may even have asymmetrical hemline. These dresses can be accentuated with a sharp coat, bolero or a nice cardigan. Here are some samples:

Style

Most casual to semi-formal bridesmaid dresses are simple with less frills and embellishments.  The gowns are not similar to ballgowns. They are rather straight cut, with a slit or short A-line dresses.

Materials

Casual to semi-forma gowns are usually made of chiffon fabric, organza, lace and satin. Some are even made of fabric with lycra for a fitted look and cut.

If you want to find more bridesmaid dresses that are suitable for various events, you can check plenty of choices in Pickedlooks.com.

Fall and Winter Essentials: Style Guide

Summer days are finally behind us, which means that you will have to clean up your wardrobe and make room for your favourite sweaters, scarves and coats. Fall and winter are indeed very inspirational, simply because you are doing your best to make those gloomy days at least slightly bearable. Here are five fashion trends that will cheer you up in these cold months, so check them out.

1.     Cool Culottes

Culottes are definitely this season’s IT pants, perfect for unpredictable fall weather. Their flattering hemline and versatile shape offer you infinite possibilities for combining. Even though many people think that these are awkward and hard to combine, culottes are actually pretty chic and glamorous – which is why they are a must-have for this season. Balance the wide-leg silhouette with a pair of fabulous stilettos, and your outfit will be a true representative of high-street fashion.

2.     Oversized Sweaters

Sweater weather has finally arrived, which means that it is a perfect time for snuggling your head onto your favourite piece of clothing. Oversized sweaters are perfect for fall as well for winter, and there are many reasons for this claim. Especially those with turtleneck will make you feel warm and cosy, even though you are not a fan of this particular shape. If you think that you will look too bulky – don’t worry – just choose the one with a slightly thinner knit.

3.     Statement Jewellery

Bling is back this season, and that’s really great news. Signature rings and chunky stones look perfect when combined with aforementioned oversized sweaters. Feminine and sparkly jewellery in Marsala color is absolutely your go-to choice for any outfit. Brooches and big earrings were introduced as must-have pieces for this fall by haute couture brands such as Prada, Balenciaga and Chanel. A pair of boho earrings that come fringed or tasseled will add a touch of glamour to your everyday look. These earrings are definitely a proof that glitz has made a huge comeback.

4.     Ethnic Influence

This ultimate fashion trend for fall and winter is an extraordinary mixture of complex patterns and vibrant colours, combined together with leather, fringes and marvelous embroidery. Numerous designers are drawing their inspiration from the exotic cultures of Asia and Africa, which results in amazing collections that can be considered as masterpieces. These amazing items can be combined in a wide range of ways, and you could wear them to a business meeting as well as to a lunch with friends. Depending on the occasion, combine them with basics such as jeans or classical trousers and a simple shirt. Fashion trends inspired by India are particularly eye-catching, because they represent the unique tradition of this Asian country, adjusting it to the world of fashion.

5.     Fur Meets Leather Shoes

Leather footwear with fur detail is a major hit this season, since many designers have gone crazy about this latest trend. From fur lined slippers and pointed toe pumps, to ankle booties completely covered in fur - there is no fashionista in this world who would not wear them. They provide a perfect amount of texture to every look, and add a touch of extravaganza to it. These will absolutely make you the center of attention wherever you show up. However, be careful. Just make sure that you are not combining them with another furry piece. Only one fur accent per look is more than enough. After all, you surely don’t want to look ridiculous. Also, it does not matter if you're wearing faux-fur. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. 

As you can see, there are various go-to fashion trends that are popular this season. The choice is totally up to you – choose whatever you feel comfortable in, depending on your personal style and preferences. What is certainly sure is that fashion is all about playing and having fun, which is why you have to enjoy and take it to the next level. That’s a key to success.
