Wondering what to wear that is cool, fun, chic and totally appropriate for this blazing weather?  Then try my new style obsession with fringe clothing and accents!

Ok, you are probably thinking “Fringe?  Isn’t that from like the 70’s?”  The answer is yes, but like most styles, fringe clothing and accents has come back as an under-the-radar trend for the summer!  Fringe clothing and accents portrays a cool layed-back style that can easily transition from board walk to shopping to dinner.  I have found some of the cutest pieces of fringe clothing and accents to be on handbags (check out:J.J Winters Fringe Silver Chain Bag), t-shirts (my picks are: Wildfox Couture Black Heart Fringe Tee in Neon Orange and Blue Life Fringe Angel Top in White) and sandals (see: Twelfth Street Cree Fringe Thongs in Black) this summer. So to look Cali-cool with an urban flair, check out my tips on how to wear fringe clothing and accessories below!

Fringe Clothing & Accents Tip #1: Incorporate fringe clothing and accents easily and effortlessly into your wardrobe by buying wardrobe pieces you would normally wear like t-shirts, handbags and sandals.  Adding casual pieces like this will make it easy to wear a few fringe pieces without straining your brain as to how!

Fringe Clothing & Accents Tip #2: Don’t make the mistake of wearing too many fringe pieces at once!  The point of wearing fringe clothing and accents is to add a little flair to your wardrobe, not to look like a fashion don’t!  Too many fringe pieces worn at once will make you look as if you are wearing a costume.  I recommend wearing no more than 2 pieces of fringe clothing or accents at one time.

Fringe Clothing & Accents Tip #3: Fringe clothing and accents that you like can easily have a second detail characteristic to them (such as chain detailing).  Just remember to make such a multi-faceted piece the focal point of your outfit.

Conclusion: Wear fringe one or two pieces at a time in casual styles!
