This is how you rock fringe. Commit to it fully (preferably with vintage), while embracing all the style connotations it brings to a look. She nails it by turning convention on its head, styling Western fringe with a modern teal skirt.

Spring/Summer 2014 was all about the fringe. From Rodarte to Altuzarra and of course, Junya Watanabe, designers were clearly inspired by the tricky technique. I’ve always shied away from fringe, but lately it’s been impossible to walk down Michigan Avenue without seeing it merchandised in all the windows. Designs trickle down from the runway to the masses, and this season fringe flooded the sidewalks like never before.
