Styling a psychedelic sweater with a simple chain and classic shades equals pure fashion gold. I could go on and on, but I’ll just stop by saying there’s not enough adjectives in the sartorial dictionary to describe how much I love her look.
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.

What about you – are you wearing fringe this year?
Warm-weather dressing inherently necessitates wearing less clothes. That can sometimes translate into less fashionable looks when compared to other seasons. There’s a reason we dress for Fall and Spring… Heat limits the ability to layer pieces, which is one of the best ways to build strong looks.
On the other hand, summer is the perfect time to go simple with one statement piece in a bold color, like red. Pair with cool shoes and the crowning touch – gorgeous hair. Nothing else so easily transforms a look.
