Freakishly Frayed Vests

The Dr. Romanelli Fringe Vest is Complete with Plaid and Leather Tassels

— May 28, 2011 — Fashion
The Dr. Romanelli Fringe Vest for men is an extremely jam-packed piece of fashion that combines a variety of my favorite looks and styles -- all thrown into one. The Dr. Romanelli Fringe Vest is complete with playful plaid, leather patchworks and a plethora of fun fringe tassels. The vest, which the designer has named "Summer on the Fringe" combines rustic lumberjack style qualities with attractive tribal-inspired details.

The Dr. Romanelli Fringe Vest stays true to its tribal-lumberjack theme throughout the whole piece; both the front and the back of the vest is adorned with plaid and leather patchworks and an abundance of tassels. The vest also features a beige-toned silk lining that adds a bit of luxurious flair to the piece.
