Summer Jacket Update

by Nicky Deam

Are your denim and military jackets looking a little threadbare? Its time to upgrade to the new kid on the block, the fringe jacket. Part boho, part badass, its going to be around well into the fall where the fringe trend continued its turn on the runway at the likes of Lanvin and Altuzarra. With that in mind, now is a great time to invest in one of the many styles currently in stores. Start wearing it on transitional days and breezy evenings at the beach, and keep it in heavy rotation come fall. Wear with basics like jeans, slip dresses and relaxed shorts for a whimsical and chic topper.
