Fringes have long been considered a wonderful decor for clothes, bags, accessories. But the most feminine is, of course, a fringed dress. This robe reminds us of the fashion of the 20s of the last century. However, modern designers interpreted fringe under fashion trends and offer young ladies a lot of different outfits - both festive and everyday.
Historical data
Often, when we see a fringe, we have an association with the trends of the Wild West. But in fact, the homeland of this decor is the Arab countries, and the word “fringe” is translated as “lace”. Historians have found some elements of fringe even in the territory of ancient Babylon. There are also finds in the tribes of India. Here people used long strips of skin and wool not as decoration, but from a practical point of view, to protect themselves from heavy rains.
She joined the ranks of solemn elements of fringe already in the mid-1920s. At this time, young and free girls fell in love with fashionable shortened haircuts, smoking and short dresses. The tendency of those years gravitated not to volumes, but rather to harmony and outstanding female forms. Also, the fringe gave a special dynamism to the image during dancing, in other words, called for fun. Another advantage of her use was that she covered her legs with too short a dress.
Precisely the fashionable directions of those times were conveyed by the movie “The Great Gatsby”. Here, a fashionable girl is dressed in a fringed dress, a fur necklace and shoes with a strap.
Modernity
Modern designers offer ladies a very wide selection of outfits decorated with fringe. They are made in the style of country, boho, aesthetics, etc. There is a variety of colors and types of material from which clothes are made. So, a dress with a fringe (pictured) from suede in a natural or neutral shade is considered a classic. Basically, it is black, beige, brown, etc. A leather dress can be more solemnly looked at, which can be put on for an exit or a youth party.
Watching the podium this season, we can conclude that the bet is on long and soft fringe, sometimes half the length. She creates a unique image and makes clothes more interesting. Fashion brands such as Pamela Roland, Zimmermann, House of Holland and others offer fashion designers to try on their collections of fringe dresses.
Fringe on the sleeves
Skinny girls and women will wear clothes with fringe on their sleeves that visually add volume to thin hands. The company with knitwear looks great accents in the form of a fringe and asymmetric cut. It is worth noting that a short dress with a fringe of knitted material is a universal thing, since it can be worn on a promenade with friends, on an exciting yacht trip, a walk in a park or cafe.
Waist Decor
If you choose clothes with a fringe in the waist area, then it is better to take a denser fabric of bright, saturated color. The fitting style is suitable only for owners of ideal forms, otherwise the outfit will emphasize all problem areas. The combination of fringe and sequins will look interesting - in such clothes maximum attention is guaranteed from those around.
Decorate the hem and neckline
One of the most fashionable trends of this season is the decor in the form of a fringe on the hem of skirts and dresses. Of course, such a robe is perfect for girls with slim legs. If the fringe is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the product, then such a dress has the name "Latino".
It is in these dresses that sultry young ladies like to dance Latin American dances. Sometimes designers resort to decorating only the neckline, which looks very elegant and moderate. Such a fringed dress is not suitable for owners of a magnificent breast, since it will add even more volume. For overweight ladies it is better to choose a translucent version of a dark color that will visually slim. A long fringe embroidered on the bottom of the dress will play a good role - it will “make” the image higher.
Chicago Style Dresses
It is generally accepted that an outfit with a fringe is a kind of challenge that exclusively brave girls are capable of. So, among the bold and at the same time intriguing clothes is a fringe dress in the Chicago style, which practically blew fashion in the 30s of the last century. Characteristic features of this style:
- the length can be up to the knee or to the ankles;
- the waistline is low - almost at the level of the hips;
- among the materials prevailed chiffon, silk and satin - light and flying fabrics;
- tight-fitting model with a fairly explicit neckline on the back.
What to combine with?
According to designers, combining clothes decorated with fringe must be very careful so as not to overdo it with sparkling. If this is a black dress with a fringe, sophisticated sandals or stilettos, a clutch are perfect for him. From jewelry you can choose a thin bracelet and a chain with a pendant.
What to choose for bright outfits? For example, a robe in purple would be an appropriate choice for a gala event. Gold jewelry, black high-heeled shoes will suit him, and in cold weather - an elegant coat.
If the choice fell on a white dress, then to him in the company should pick up shoes decorated with stones. The hair band will not hurt, but only decorate the whole composition of retro hairstyles.
An outfit of a neutral color, for example, gray, looks no less beautiful. A silk gray fringed dress looks cute and tender, especially if it is worn by a blonde or brown-haired woman. A bright and powerful bracelet, black or white shoes, as well as a light clutch should be added to the dress.
