Frays are In!

Be frayed, be very frayed. It is so sweet to see how popular fringed edges and frayed materials have become. Even Hollywood's most popular faces have become accustomed to the look of frayed edge jackets, and fringed ankle booties. It is so easy to organize an amazing look with frayed designs and the best part is the way it allows you to dress up while looking dressed down at the same time. Frays are even appropriate to be worn, and sported, at special events such as prom. You can easily show off your uniqueness at prom by wearing the same accent pieces as today's hottest celebs. Some of the most amazing accents of frayed incorporation can be found on pocketbooks. Frayed purses, clutches, and pocketbooks are the latest sweet spot in purse design; long-strapped, fabric bags are great for their sheer versatility especially at events such as prom where a long strap and hands-free hold can be important.

Fairy Fashion with Frays

The flowing frayed ends found on adorable fairy-inspired dresses are perfect for an elegant prom setting. Silk and cotton frayed dresses, with long skirts and strapless or single strap tops, seem to be a great match for the associated dance floor of prom night; the flowing material mixed with your graceful movements equal an amazing sight. By simply adding a thin, frayed length of silk shibori material, you can take a flowing gown to new heights. The shibori is almost impersonating a shawl but a far less bulky version. It can create a wonderful touch of elegance to the entire outfit, while adding one more touch of bounce and flow to the movement of the dress. The best aspects of frayed designs are the heights and lengths that the material alone can produce. Frayed edges add length to shorter legs, give a bustier appeal to a smaller bust, frayed collars can lengthen the neck, and a frayed material belt can actually thin the waistline.

This ingenious little affect can do more than any usual material. There are even particular designer dresses which have an on/off interweaving design with lace and silk; so the term frayed is becoming universal to the effect of alternating material space and not just the lack of it. So with this versatility come more options available to you and to designers. Frayed edges are a cute way of emphasizing sleeves of an in-between length, frayed material pocketbooks, belts, and even small frayed bracelets used from matching material from your dress can used to coordinate a completely frayed look. It is easy to create an undone look while still remaining uniformed.
