Frayed top … what’s the scoop?

There’s a cute little micro-trend floating about for spring which is all about frayed details. But how do you pull off a trend like that without looking like you’ve just been pulled through a hedge backwards? The easiest way to do this it to pick one frayed item and work it into your outfit with a pile of more structured pieces. For an example of the perfect office appropriate take on the look, – It’s time to say hello to the frayed top.

Although edging toward the unstructured end of the style continuum, with a little clever styling, you can make this baby work and nail a hot trend in one go.

Frayed top … how to wear it.

This neutral By Malene Birger frayed top is a steal on sale at The Outnet right now. We’ve used it for an office look, but it would work equally well with skinny jeans and flats on the weekend. We’ve added the J.Crew schoolboy blazer which is a stalwart for your closet for the spring.

We love all things Baukjen, their new spring collection is a hybrid of high fashion meets totally wearable items. This pencil skirt is in a lovely denim blue hue which will work with a bunch of other neutrals right through to next autumn.

The ankle boots are Tabitha Simmons, scarf Chan Luu, bracelet Kenneth Jay Lane and shoulder bag Alexander Wang – all on sale at The Outnet, our go-to spot for all things luxe at great prices.
