If you’ve been tuning in to check out the Fall 2019 shows, you’ve probably noticed that designers are flocking to feathers. But this isn’t a new trend. We also saw plenty of feathers for Spring 2019.
Leave it to the runways to go OTT when it comes to plumage, though. Think feathered tanks paired with feathered skirts to dresses with feather accents or feathers from head to toe. And they come in a rainbow of colors with some looks looking like they were plucked from exotic birds.
With all that drama, feathers are the trend that doesn’t easily translate to the real world. Sure, you may be bold enough to rock a few for a night out, but there’s no way we can step out during daylight hours wearing feathers, right? Wrong. There are some feathered pieces you can totally flaunt at any time of day (or night). The key is moderation. Look for separates with subtler accents, like feathered cuffs or hems. Or simply carry a feather-trimmed bag.
Ahead, 15 feathered must-haves you can pull off 24/7.
