How to wear
The texture trend is a simple way to make a sartorial statement in a minimalistic yet effective way. Swap out the top or bottom half of your next look for something textured. For a fresh take on ‘jeans and a nice top’, pair trusty denim with a ruched top. Classic looks can be achieved by a fringe or pleat element in a maxi skirt design or elevate your evening wear with a textured dress. Don’t forget – have fun with colours, cuts and prints to maximise impact!
Why you need it
Dynamic movement takes any look to the next level. Crinkled cuts, scrunched ruching, pleats and frills are a fun and flirty way to spice up your springtime style. It’s not a complete wardrobe overhaul either, just a little extra something that adds energy to your next outfit. Be bold or as minimal as you like – this trend can be taken in any direction.
Our pick
South Australian style makers are on board with this trend. Fashion houses like Autark have crafted a clever gathered and asymmetrical layered dress in a buttery yellow shade, but our favourite comes from Hansen & Gretel’s latest collection – a copper caramel coloured and frilled mini perfect for event season. For tops, try Second Female’s Mantova knit for a fringed take on the texture trend or Friends with Frank’s gathered Harlow top for an understated look.
