The fanciest and fluffiest statement of the season, feathers are back! Although feathers in fashion go way back in history, they haven't always been considered the most fashionable thing to wear, walking a fine line between tacky and trendy. But now the look has something to preen about, seen everywhere from runways to red carpets to streets. We have some advice so you don't get your feathers ruffled. 

One of the best ways to pull off the feathered look is to go unapologetically full on. Take the Fall 2019 collections from Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta, or the dresses Kylie Jenner flaunted during her birthday celebrations last month as prime examples. Wear those feathers loud and proud!

If the thought of going all in is frazzling your feathers, then a great alternative is to wear them as smaller details. Popular styles we've spotted multiple times this year are: in panels, like Priyanka Chopra's dress at Joe Jonas' birthday party; as statement sleeves, like Selena Gomez at the premiere of The Dead Don't Die; or sewn onto hems. Check out some of these options below:
