Straight from the spring fashion show comes the resurgence of one of our favorite trends, and it's all about texture. Playful hemlines, necklines, sleeves, and more showcase feathers and fringes in new and exciting ways. These aren't the fringes and feathers from the early 2000s but a reimagining of the entire texture idea and bringing it to a new level.
Designers showcased garments with more than feathers and fringes as well. Ruching, tassels, and even gowns of tinsel are bringing visual and tactile delight, and of course, we have to share with you this trending look!
Feathers evoke the glamour of Old Hollywood, while innovative new designs make it something new once more. Plumed styles can work for casual chic, pageant runways, prom, cocktail night, girls' or date night out, or formal events.
Which dresses capture this on-trend look, and which are we loving? Check out our hottest designs for any occasion below!
Goddess Vibes
Are you ready to don galaxies and glitter like the stars? Our dress in style 70352 will be the newest celestial delight in your wardrobe! This sparkling gem of a floor-length gown was made to wow and help you shine on. A flirty and precious peekaboo thigh-slit is expertly tailored with beautiful sequins. The glittering of sequins is found throughout the gown, with the showcase on the gold and silver stars, moons, and multi-colored iridescence in lovely periwinkle blue.
An elegantly sloping V-neck flatters the neck and collarbones, while double shoulder straps appear delicate but remain supportive and sturdy. Soft and silky laces along the back allow you to mold the dress to a flattering shape, while dainty beads create a gorgeous fringe along the hip.
This dress will make you feel divine!
Stay Golden
Metallics are in this season and fringe, and how can you have the best of both worlds? With our style 70304 halter fitted prom dress in gold. Don't let the 'prom' part fool you. This glamour and glitz gown is an absolute beauty for literally any occasion. While the halter neck is conservative, the high slit is a playful addition to the hand-beaded head-to-toe fringe that sparkles like precious 14K gold. Absolutely breathtaking; every move you make in this dress will have you outshine everyone else.
This golden gown is easy to slip on with its back zipper and comes with an elegantly curved V-shaped back. We adore this dress as it captures both luxury and grace head to toe.
Red Carpet Glam
It's time to roll out the red carpet, and you are center stage! Whether you want to feel like Raquel Welch at a Hollywood premiere, Elizabeth Tailor or Audrey Hepburn—your starlet dreams are waiting to come true with our dress in style 70359. With nods back to the historic marabout—or marabou feather-trimming actresses of yore would adorn, this confection comes in beautiful shades of lilac, emerald, sherbert, powder blue, and striking hot pink.
An asymmetric neckline for a hint of mystery and a single sleeve dripping in sequins ends in a glorious ruff of iconic feathers, mirrored all along this dress slit to the floor for ultimate drama and majesty. A back zipper guarantees an easy slip-on when dressing and sturdy staying in place while you feel like all eyes, cameras, and paparazzi are on you!
A Fringe of Sparkle
If you want to look and feel like you are a siren of the sea, you might love our one-shoulder fitted dress in style 70361. The shade range in this spectacular dress mirrors all of the ocean's hues, from the deep and dark navy blue to tropical shades of ocean blue, sparkling bright emerald green, and sunset on the water's precious gold.
An asymmetrical neckline sweeps softly to a single shoulder decorated with shimmering tube beads. The beads trail down the side and peek from the top of the skirt slit, reminding one of a gorgeous waterfall drifting into the ocean. Every move you make in this dress will capture attention and the light like clear waters on a sunny day.
Wear Your Glass Slippers
For the woman who wants her fairytale to come true well before midnight, we present style 70366 in light blue. Shimmer organza fabric draped generously creates an aura of light-capturing enchantment in this asymmetrical one-shoulder and basque waist from collar bones to its floor-length skirt. This organza gown is lightweight, sheer, and eye-catching, with ruched details to the bodice and a touch of feathered glamour along the shoulder. A back zipper ensures that it's a dress easy to slip into at a moment's notice, making it an ideal choice not just for prom but any event or celebration.
Perfection in Paisley
The paisley pattern is ageless. This ornamental textile design uses the boteh, or buta, a teardrop motif used in fashion for centuries. When it comes to fashion that never goes out of style, you might fall in love with our next dress in style 70372. Front and center in colorful sequins, paisley swirls in the most elegant patterns paired with hand-beaded details that dazzle. This stunning dress is even more beautiful with the delicate touch of feathers that begin along the skirt and scatter down the entire length.
Accessories for Feathered and Fringed Gowns
- Feathered gown? Why not go with fun and flirty feathered dangle earrings and a delightful heel with soft accents.
- If feathered jewelry is not to your taste, consider going for the cooler side with silver shoes and jewelry or even clear and white heels. If you choose a gown with sunset shades like pink, yellow, or orange, try pale gold or even black accessories depending on what compliments your complexion best.
- For fringed dresses, you can carry that theme over to your accessories, like a beautiful pearl necklace with pearl fringe ornamentation or a rhinestone lariat necklace with gold chain tassels.
