Fringe Benefits
Used with discretion, fringe is both
modern and a throwback to earlier
times and cultures. Native
Americans used fringe on suede,
leather and buckskin. In the ’20s,
fringe added length to otherwise
daring styles. In the ’60s, adding
fringe to fashions was an outgrowth
of the hippie movement. Today,
fringe is enjoying a resurgence in
popularity.
You could deck yourself out in
fringe head-to-toe. But don't.
A sparing touch will add a modern
look without making too much of
a boho statement.
