Fringe: Here's How To Nail The Biggest Trend Of The Season

Jackets are now an all-year thing, even in India! So, why not hop onto the fringe jacket trend too. You don't need to go all Vivienne Westwood on it, but check out this Faux Suede fringe jacket from Forever 21 for just INR 3,499. Over at Scarlet Sage, this Gisa Fringed Jacket is an option at INR 8,000. Plenty to spare in your bank account? Go ahead and check out this gorgeous fitted jacket from All Saints for INR 50,000.

If you want to keep warm but jackets are not your thing, pick out this fringe poncho by H&M, instead.

Must-buy Piece: Black Fringed Overlay Jacket By Gisa. 

NA-KD has a midi-skirt which we think is super in fashion as Kim Kardashian is almost always seen in a similar fit. The same brand has a mini option as well, so if boots and skirts are your thing, then get this one for INR 7,000 (but it’s usually on sale!). Go all out with many layers of fringes with this Cover Story skirt, or keep it muted with this ruched one from Forever 21. Going extra? This slick black number by Kate Spade is your go-to!

Must-buy Piece: This mini skirt by NA-KD. White is versatile enough to go from a breakfast date through to a dinner dance. 

Blending the fringe and the overlap dress, Attic Salt has this lovely white dress, perfect for champagne brunches. But if that seems a bit much for you, check out the one-shoulder option from Dash & Dot. There’s also this mini dress by NA-KD for INR 8,000 approximately. If you want to dazzle, the this Kimono-style dress from Scarlet Sage is perfect! As is Mango's very 1920s LBD. Budget your main priority? Fear not, as Urbanic has you covered! 

Must-buy Piece: This silver-grey one for INR 5799 (but currently just INR 3,000!) from Vero Moda.

By far the easiest way to pull off the fringe trend if you’re too timid for jackets and dresses, it’s also the easier item of clothing to get the trend on! From Zara’s textured shirt and Mango’s sexy tank top to Forever 21’s halter neck and cinched waist top and NA-KD’s champagne-coloured singlet, snap up one or more of these for proper fringe benefits. If luxe is what you’re after, 431-88 by Shweta Kapur has lovely longline shirt options.

Must-buy Piece: Ramola Bachchan's kaftan-style monochrome top.

When it comes to the fringe trend, macrame is boss! And when it comes to macrame, LBB is boss! This bag from Itihasikala, these shoes from London Rag or Kohlapuris from Aady Austin, there’s plenty at the LBB Store. Beyond that too, though. Like this pair of flats from Zara. They also have a gorgeous pair of limited-edition mules, which come in three different colours as well as in a sandal form. If you really want to go all out, and even break the bank, then you must get this pair of Dolce & Gabbana jacquard fringe jewel boots! Sure they’re INR 7 Lakh, but they will get heads turning! 

Must-buy Piece: This metallic fringe bag from Charles & Keith. The burgundy and silver mix is a classic, and you'll never seem out of place with that in tow. 

With this one, we have two must-buy options, and since we know that most festive or wedding outfits are investment purchases, we've picked two outfits that are ensembles unto themselves. 

Investment Lehenga: This Raishaa lehenga is great for the bride who like to shine but not like a disco ball. With an embellished and sequined blouse and lehenga, it's ideal for a day or night function. Make sure you dance in it though. This one is meant for swirling! 

Must-buy Saree: Oh you though a saree couldn't be on the fringe trend? Think again; although the saree here isn't the main deal. It's the stunning red fringe jacket that goes with the saree. If you want to be the centre of attention, this is your best best. We love that it's stylish, classy and edgy. But then again, most things from 431-88 By Shweta Kapur are so. Priced at INR 45,000 we highly recommend this one for the upcoming weddings season. A hint of Indian and a hint of Western, the silhouette allows for this one to be worn for weddings across cultures. Besides, separate the jacket and the saree and you have to different pieces to mix and match with other blouses, skirts, trousers and sarees. Oh, and the best part? The saree is pre-pleated.
