Read MoreIt’s hard to believe that Spring is around the corner, and with the new season comes fresh new looks. For those of you who watched the Spring fashion shows from NYC, London, Paris, and Milan, we’re positive that you saw this new yet old trend making a resurgence: Fringe. In years past this trend has mostly shown up on fall runways with notes of boho enveloping each style, and while you will still see the nod to boho, fringe for Spring ranges from the minimalistic to full on glam featuring crystals and beads. Here we have taken a minimalist approach to fringe and re-created the look featured in two different ways: with an ivory dress, and with a black dress. The looks come complete with shopable links. Enjoy shopping!
