As always there will be designers who will make memorable choices by using a staple like fringing seem so unapproachable in everyday wear, but it can bring so much too even the simplest of outfits.

Particularly it has more often than not been used to complete a look with bags and shoes, but at the latest S/S 16 Fashion Week’s across the globe the eccentric styling of many outfits has seen tassels come in many forms on the runways and in the celebrity circuits as of late.
