Things with a fringe are those wardrobe items that constantly cause controversy. For some, fringe is an excess and a sign of bad taste, for others it is a stylish decor and an opportunity to emphasize one's individuality. Be that as it may, the fringed skirt has taken 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 summer and in the cold of winter. The only thing that needs to be considered is the material from which the model is made. The list of summer fabrics is called:
- cotton;
- thin jersey (including knitted);
- batiste;
- chiffon;
- silk;
- denim;
- linen;
- thin materials with added stretch.
In such a skirt, a fashionista will be comfortable in hot weather, and the image will be appropriate. As for skirt models for autumn and winter, it is better to choose dense materials here, such as:
- leather or leatherette;
- tight denim;
- wool;
- tweed;
- satin;
- suit fabric.
Fringe at fashion shows
Fringe, a return from the 70s of the last century, was so loved by designers that they offered a lot of options for clothes with fringe from:
- leather strips;
- fabrics;
- thread;
- wool.
Moreover, this trendy decor can be made of the same material as the skirt itself, or it can contrast in texture. Looking at clothes from the fashion shows of Chanel, Rosie Assoulin, Rachel Comey, Sally LaPointe, Calvin Klein, Balmain, you can be sure that there is never too much fringe. The decor can be located on the bottom of the skirt, on the belt, or it can occupy the entire fabric area.
Boho style
Boho style has been at the peak of popularity in recent years. It will not be possible to describe this stylistic direction in one word. Boho is eclectic, combining elements of vintage, military, ethnic, safari and many others. A fringed skirt can become a bright representative of this style and take pride of place in the wardrobe of a fashionista.
Distinctive features of the boho skirt is the length of the maxi or below the knee. It can be wide, multi-tiered, asymmetrical. It is sure to be a comfortable, loose-fitting piece that can be paired with many off-the-shoulder pieces.
As for the material, this style is dominated by natural fabrics. These are cotton, jeans, leather, knitwear, linen. One of the best options would be a knitted skirt decorated with thread fringes.
The color palette inherent in this direction includesincludes white, milky and all pastel shades. It is acceptable to use the entire palette of brown, gray and blue.
Actual casual
Despite the fact that casual originated in the 70s in England, this style has earned its maximum popularity only now. Translated from English, the name translates as "everyday", and this is what the whole casual is. The main requirement that a look in this style must meet is functionality and practicality.
Most often, a modern casual outfit is 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 of which skirt fits all the style requirements.
Knitted and denim skirt will be the perfect complement to a casual look. In this case, not only the material is important, but also the cut and finish. A classic of the genre - a denim skirt with fringes, scuffs, slits and a "boiled" effect.
Glam style
Speaking of fringed skirts so popular today, one cannot fail to note such a stylistic direction as glamor. Its origins date back to the time of Louis XIV. It was this ruler who introduced the fashion for lavish secular entertainment, luxury and brilliance. Of course, modern glamor is already devoid of that medieval pomposity, but the common features are still preserved.
Clothes made in this spirit? - these are expensive fabrics, an unsurpassed sense of style, catchy decor. On the presented photo- glamor fringed skirt.
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. One has only to complement such an outfit with a laconic shirt or jacket, and you will get an original version for every day.
How to match with a top or tank top?
A fringed skirt in itself draws attention to the image and is considered a rather "heavy" piece of clothing. In order not to overload the bow, as an addition, it is better to choose shoulder clothing according to the figure. Top, T-shirt or T-shirt will be a great choice for this purpose.
It's worth recognizing that choosing 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 be the soloist, and the top will only emphasize the integrity of the image.
With blouse
Who said that such an original thing as a skirt with ribbon and braid trim cannot be combined with the classics? On the contrary, a laconic cut of a blouse can slightly neutralize the impudence 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 look as a casual outfit.
With oversized shirts and sweatshirts
It would seem that this combination contradicts the basic requirement of the selection of things, since the wide top does not balance the image, but, on the contrary, makes it heavier. However, do not rush to conclusions. Just look at the photos from fashion shows, as it becomes clear: this combination is quite worthy of female attention.
No connoisseur of boho, ethnic and hippie styles can definitely do without such an outfit. The main thing to take care of is that the style direction of the individual parts of the wardrobe is combined with each other.
Color combination
Another important issue in creating a spectacular bow is the right combination of colors. In this case, it is worth focusing on the color of the main part 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 practically no risk of making a mistake.
- White skirt. As in the previous case, there can be dozens of combination options. Black, white or colored tops are perfect for a white bottom.
- Colored or printed skirt. Of all the proposed models of fringe skirts, it is the colored skirts (both monochrome and printed) that look most original. However, this is one of those details of the wardrobe, to which it is quite difficult to match the rest of the elements. A win-win option is a black or white shirt.
How to dofringe on a denim skirt?
It must be admitted 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 matching skirt design, a little effort and imagination.
The easiest and fastest way to update a thing is to dissolve the edge of the product. This does not require additional equipment. Before you cut a denim skirt and make a fringe, you should stock up on the following tools:
- scissors;
- centimeter;
- needle.
First you need to decide on the length of the product. To do this, put on the skirt and mark the desired length of the finished product. From this mark, you need to set aside 3-6 cm down (this is how much the fringe will take). Marks are made on both sides of the product, after which lines are drawn from one mark to the other and cut evenly along the bottom line.
The next step is to create the fringe. To do this, use a needle or a special ripper to hook the transverse threads of the fabric and carefully pull them out. Thus, they act until the threads are removed from the entire space allocated for 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, this work will require basic skills in working with a sewing machine. However, it is this option that allows you to decorate not only a denim skirt, but also any other skirt.
For thisrequired:
- scissors;
- sewing machine;
- centimeter;
- needle or professional ripper;
- skirt;
- a small piece of fabric (material with threads of different textures is best).
The essence of the work is to create a fringe from a piece of fabric and then sew it onto a skirt. The progress of the work is described in the video as much as possible.
