The autumn/winter catwalks were awash with tassels.
Fringing adorned all manner of things; at Prada, it laced the hem of skirts, at Bottega Veneta, it vamped up OTT clutch bags, and at Gabriella Hearst, it covered head-to-toe suede coats and dresses.
And this weekend, the Duchess of Cambridge gave a lesson in how to weave a touch of tasseling into formalwear.
Wearing a custom Catherine Walker & Co. coat to yesterday’s socially distanced Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph, Kate’s military-inspired outerwear had ever-so-subtle fringe-adorned shoulders and pearly buttons.
Accessorising with a Philip Treacy hat and the Queen’s diamond and pearl earrings, Kate made a chic and refined case for how to incorporate the ebullient embellishment into our winter wardrobes - and proved, that when it comes to fringing, a little goes a long way.
Kate’s bepoke Catherine Walker & Co. coat isn’t available to buy, but there are all manner of fashionable fringed throw-ons to shop online. Here are some of our favourites.
