Ruffles, sequins, and fringe have long been reserved for chorus girls and can-can dancers, but they are enjoying their breakout moment this spring. Make a statement when walking into any room with a strategically detailed piece. Invoke the spirit of Jazz Age cabarets with a dress done up with ruffles reminiscent of a flapper girl’s getup. Those who aren’t looking to be on center stage can opt for fringed or sequin-covered handbags, sparkling headbands, or tassel jewelry that will add a touch of drama to any outfit. Take your cue from late vaudeville performers, silent film starlets, and cigarette girls from Hollywood’s golden age to incorporate touches of glamour straight from the stage.
