String Theory: Autumn’s Trendiest Embellishment
Throw out the theory “no strings attached” this fall, because one of the trendiest details will be adorning your tops, knitwear and dresses. Ribbons and strings are secured to the ends of sleeves for a chic statement. To really dive into this trend, look for details like extended ruffled sleeves, bow accented ends and super skinny strings trailing at longer lengths or neatly tied close to the wrist. For an added oomph of style, opt for girlish embellishments like ties trimming the entire sleeve or extra long ruffles cascading from the cuff. For fall, it’s time to let your sleeves play a little dress up.
