TRIPLE THREAT: Fringe Benefits

Pocahontas inspired tasseled trims sashayed the runways this fall from high-end chic designers like Gucci to low-end bargain buys like Mossimo (available at Target). They adorn everything from a one-shoulder dress to a pair of strapy sandals, and designers are using fringe in ways we’ve never seen before — especially with accessories. This season, bags, shoes, and dresses all receive flapper reinventions. Check out three fall-fringe favorites below:

For an upscale, high-end bag, turn to Prada’s Napa Fringe Hobo ($2,190; neimanmarcus.com). Made with the softest Italian leather, this bag in ivory (shown) or black swings perfectly from every shoulder with the cash to land it.



Take the town by storm in Steven by Steve Maddens Bijoux heels ($129.95; stevemadden.com). Available in three colors (black, brown and pewter), this sassy open-toe sandal boasts a 3.5-inch heel and an adjustable ankle strap.



Go full-frontal fringe in Urban Outfitters Lace Shawl ($34; urbanoutfitters.com). Throw on the floral rose patterned shawl over any solid tee and take an outfit from boring to bold.
