Fringed items belong to those wardrobe items that constantly cause controversy. For some, fringe is an excess and a sign of bad taste, for others - a stylish decor and the ability to emphasize their individuality. Be that as it may, the fringed skirt took pride of place in the list of trends for 2018-2019. What models do designers offer and how to combine them correctly?
When to wear a fringed skirt?
The beauty of this wardrobe detail is that it will be relevant both in the summer and in the winter cold. The only thing to be foreseen is the material from which the model is made. In the list of summer fabrics called:
- cotton;
- thin knitwear (including knitted);
- batiste;
- chiffon;
- silk;
- denim
- linen;
- thin materials with the addition of stretch.
In such a skirt, a fashionista will be comfortable in hot weather, and the image will be appropriate. As for the models of skirts for autumn and winter, it is better to choose dense materials, such as:
- skin or leatherette;
- dense denim;
- wool;
- tweed;
- satin;
- suit fabric.
Fashion Fringe
The fringe, which returned from the 70s of the last century, was so fond of designers that they offered a lot of options for clothes with fringe from:
- strips of skin;
- tissue;
- thread
- wool.
Moreover, this fashionable decor can be made of the same material as the skirt itself, or it can be a contrast in texture. Looking at the clothes from the fashion shows of Chanel, Rosie Assoulin, Rachel Comey, Sally LaPointe, Calvin Klein, Balmain, you can see: there are never too many fringes. The decor can be located on the bottom of the skirt, on the belt, and can occupy the entire area of the fabric.
Boho style
Boho style in recent years has been at the peak of popularity. It will not be possible to describe this style direction in one word. Boho is an eclecticism combining elements of vintage, military, ethnic, safari and many others. A fringed skirt can become a vivid representative of this style and take pride of place in a fashionista’s wardrobe.
A distinctive feature of a boho skirt is the maxi length or below the knee. It can be wide, multi-tiered, asymmetric. This is certainly a convenient free product that can be safely combined with many items of shoulder clothing.
As for the material, natural fabrics predominate in this style. These are cotton, jeans, leather, knitwear, linen. One of the best options will be a knitted skirt, decorated with a fringe of threads.
The color palette characteristic of this direction includes white, milky and all pastel shades. Allowed to use the entire palette of brown, gray and blue.
Current casual
Despite the fact that casual originated in the 70s in England, this style has earned maximum popularity only now. Translated from English, the name translates as "everyday", and this is what the whole casual consists of. The main requirement that look in this style should meet is functionality and practicality.
Most often, the outfit in the style of a modern casual is represented by a mix of trousers (or jeans) with shirts or sweaters. Meanwhile, it is extremely difficult for a modern fashionista to do without dresses and skirts. Not surprisingly, the question immediately arose about which skirt meets all the requirements of the style.
Knitted and denim skirts will be the perfect complement to casual look. In this case, not only the material is important, but also the cut and finish. A classic of the genre is a denim skirt with fringe, scuffs, slits and a "boiled" effect.
Glam style
Speaking about skirts with fringe that are so popular today, one cannot but mention such a style direction as glamor. Its origins date back to the time of Louis XIV. It was this ruler who introduced fashion to lush secular entertainment, luxury and splendor. Of course, modern glamor is already deprived of that medieval pomp, but common features are still preserved.
Clothing made in this spirit? - This is an expensive fabric, an unrivaled sense of style, catchy decor. In the photo presented - a skirt with a fringe in the style of glamor.
At first glance it seems that such models are suitable only for club parties and social events, but this is not entirely true. Many models in this style are quite useful for frequent wear. It is only necessary to supplement such an outfit with a concise shirt or jacket, as it turns out the original version for every day.
How to combine with a top or t-shirt?
The fringed skirt draws attention to the image by itself and is considered a rather “heavy” wardrobe item. In order not to overload the bow, it is better to choose shoulder clothing according to the figure as an addition. An excellent choice for this purpose will be a top, shirt or t-shirt.
It is worth recognizing that the choice of the style direction of the top can be quite a challenge. To solve it, you can give preference to a concise model. The skirt in this case will solo, and the top will only emphasize the integrity of the image.
With a blouse
Who said that such an original thing as a skirt with trim from ribbons and braid cannot be combined with classics? On the contrary, the laconic cut of a blouse can slightly neutralize the insolence of a skirt. One of the best mixes is a leather bottom and a white blouse with classic elements. This option is hardly suitable for the role of office clothes , but lovers of comfortable clothes will surely like this bow as a casual outfit.
With oversized shirts and sweatshirts
It would seem that such a combination contradicts the basic requirement for the selection of things, since the wide top does not balance the image, but rather makes it harder. However, do not rush to conclusions. Just look at the photos from fashion shows, it becomes clear: such a combination is quite worthy of female attention.
No connoisseur of the style of boho, ethnic, and hippie will definitely do without such an outfit. The main thing to take care of is that the stylistic direction of the individual details of the wardrobe is combined with each other.
A color scheme
Another important issue in creating a spectacular look is the correct combination of colors. At the same time, you should focus on the color of the main detail of the image - skirts with fringe. What to wear with this or that model?
- Black skirt. This option is absolutely universal. A white, black or bright T-shirt, blouse and jacket will perfectly suit him. There is virtually no risk of mistakes.
- White skirt. As in the previous case, there can be dozens of matching options. Black, white or colored tops are perfect for the white bottom.
- Colored skirt or print. Of all the proposed models of fringed skirts, the most original look is colored skirts (both monochrome and print). However, this is one of those details of the wardrobe, which is quite difficult to pick up the remaining elements. A win-win option is a black or white shirt.
How to make a fringe on a denim skirt?
I must admit that, despite the wide popularity of fringe, it is far from always possible to find a model of a skirt that meets all the requirements of a fashionista. Anyone who is faced with this problem can go the other way - to create a fashionable thing with their own hands. This will require a skirt that is suitable for the design, a little effort and imagination.
The easiest and fastest way to update a thing is to dissolve the edge of the product. This will not require additional equipment. Before you trim the denim skirt and make a fringe, you should stock up on the following tools:
- scissors;
- centimeter;
- needle.
First you need to determine the length of the product. To do this, put on a skirt and note the desired length of the finished product. From this mark you need to put 3-6 cm down (this is how much the fringe will occupy). Marks are made on both sides of the product, after which lines from one mark to the other are drawn and evenly cut along the bottom line.
The next step is to create a fringe. To do this, use a needle or a special stripper to pry the transverse threads of the fabric and carefully pull them out. Thus, they act until the threads are removed from the entire space allocated under the fringe (3-6 cm).
There is another option, how to make a fringe on a skirt. It is somewhat more complicated and time consuming. In addition, for this work, basic skills of working with a sewing machine will be required. However, it is this option that allows you to decorate not only jeans, but also any other skirt.
This will require:
- scissors;
- sewing machine;
- centimeter;
- needle or professional sprayer;
- skirt;
- a small piece of fabric (material with threads of different textures is best suited).
The essence of the work is to create a fringe from a piece of fabric and its subsequent patch on the skirt. The most detailed progress is described in the video.
