New trend - fringing from designers including Temperley London, Christian Louboutin, Vanessa Bruno and Balmain

Fringing. For those of us who found our fashion feet in the 1980s, that means awful flashbacks of suede jackets with fringes down the sleeves, fringed boots with snow washed jeans tucked into them, and big highlighted hair (with a bleached fringe). But it doesn’t have to be that way - not when design houses including Temperley London, Balmain, Christian Louboutin and Vanessa Bruno are the ones doing the fringing. So stop worrying, and start twirling. And if, after looking at these gorgeous fringed designer goodies, you’re still nervous, then for god’s sake just buy a scarf (a fringed scarf, obviously).

This gorgeous fringed cropped jacket, £895 by Temperley London from Browns Fashion, has delicate fringing on the sleeves, front and back of the jacket. Fastening with a single hook at the front, this Temperley London fringed cropped jacket is 79% Acetate 21% Rayon.
