I Know You're a Fashion Person If You're Wearing This IYKYK Accessory
Lately, we’ve seen one specific detail cropping up on accessories: cascading tassels. Cool designers are adorning everything from bags to jewelry with the tassels, and fashion insiders simply can’t get enough of them. The pieces are dramatic enough to make a statement, yet fit into the wardrobes of minimalists and maximalists alike. Tassel accessories are gaining a cult IYKYK status and are primed to take off even more as we head into the holiday season, when accessorizing is always at its peak.
Le Sundial has beaded necklace and earring versions that evoke a bohemian feel. Sophie Buhai has chandelier-inspired earrings handcrafted from carnelian and onyx beads. Attersee has a dramatic braided belt finished with silky fringe tassels. Kallmeyer also has a fringed belt, and its version is designed in leather and acrylic beads. Marlies Grace and Cult Gaia have clutches designed with tassel straps artfully dangling from them. Ahead, shop our edit of the best tassel accessories.
