Fringe Research Paper

Overall Theme
When fall comes around a lot of people resort to boring baggy sweaters to get them through it; however, fringe is a major trend this season and is used for different functions (wgsn-seoul). This new trend will add a fun, flirty, and possibly even edgy feel to this fall and winter. Fringe will be seen lining hems, as an asymmetrical detail, and decorating sleeves(wgsn-seoul). It will also be used to create illusions and moods with alternate colors, fabrics, and lengths(wgsn-christa). The normal burnt reds and oranges are being pushed to the side this season and dusty pastels and neutrals are coming into play (pantone color). These colors and the leathers, suede, yarn, and other materials used will compliment the popular fring skirt, bag, and jacket.

Fabric
Leather, suede, threads, and yarn will make up most of the fringe this season (christa). Suede is the classic material when thinking of anything suede; however, leather brings an edgy feel, bulky yarns give a comfy yet chic look, and thinner strands of thread give off a light, delicate vibe. Therefore, even within this trend there are many different styling options to change the feel of a look.
