Fringe Dresses: Love It or Leave It?

The first time we donned a fringed dress, it was because we were dressing up as flappers for Halloween.

The first time we donned a fringed dress, it was because we were dressing up as flappers for Halloween. Lately, we've been seeing fringe pop up in some glamourous versions — Naomi Campbell in elegant Givenchy couture, young actress and singer Kat Graham showed up to the Teen Choice Awards in a party-ready mini with floor-length fringe detail, and Olivia Wilde donned a one-of-a-kind Gucci dress with gold and black beaded fringe for a Cowboys and Aliens photocall in Italy. The dresses may be different, but we're curious to hear what you think of the trend. Would you buy a fringe dress, or is it too much for real life?
