Tasseled earrings, tasseled necklaces, tasseled bracelets, tassels are everywhere! Tassels are in trend and are commonly seen as fashion jewelry these days. They actually started out as decorative cloth ornaments and are usually made of a bundle of threads. Apart from fashion jewelry tassels are being used to embellish other things as well. Here we’ve put together three tassel style ideas, which are innovative and super easy to try:

Clothes: When it comes to clothes, tassels can add that little bit of embellishment or finishing touch that can completely change the look of a garment. A minor tassel detail in the same or different color (from the garment) can bring out the main color or add a pop of color to the garment.

Style Tip: To wear tassels that really make the garment stand out, opt for simple detailing like on a stole or dupatta. You can also choose to wear a Sari that is lightly embellished with tassels throughout or simply on the border.

Accessories: Apart from tassel jewelry, which is popularly seen almost everywhere, another great option is to wear tasseled shoes or bags. Tassels make great bag hangings or bag charms that give a three-dimensional feel to the flat bag surface. Tassels on shoes are really attention grabbing and can compliment an otherwise subtle outfit.

Style Tip: Opt for tasseled shoes that are in metallic colors like gold, silver or rose gold. When choosing a bag with tassels opt for one that is in the contrasting color to the bag fabric or is in the same color as the bag straps.
Home Décor: Home decoration items are another place where tassels really create a beautiful visual impact. In fact tassels are usually seen on drapery or as part of ornamental decoration for curtains. But today, tassels have evolved into multiple variations on different home décor items such as cushion covers, carpets, and other upholstery.

Similarly tasseled cushions or cushion covers can give a colorful and comforting spin to seating furniture.
Tassels are such simple ornaments yet can create a visually pleasing impact on just about anything (clothes, accessories, home décor items). So pick your favorite tassel style (or styles) and give it a try!
