Whenever we see a celebrity carrying a fringe handbag, they usually pair it with jeans, a sundress, or sandals for that laid-back casual look.
So it’s refreshing to see this trend in a more dressed-up setting, such as this party look worn by Manhattan socialite Tinsley Mortimer:

Tinsley Mortimer pulls off the formal fringe look well, and she does it again at a New York charity gala.

This time, she makes it more elegant, pairing her silver fringe clutch with an electric blue dress, classic gray pumps, and a silver cross necklace:

If you’re a fan of the fringe and thinking of ways to dress it up, take a cue from Miss Mortimer and try a style like this one:
Whiting and Davis Plated Brass Mesh Clutch Adorned With Crystal Fringes
The plated metal mesh instantly gives serious sparkle, and the crystal accents are guaranteed to lend glamour to any outfit.
And, of course, the clutch comes with a detachable long chain, so you can convert it into a shoulder bag if you want to keep your hands free.
