Tassels had a good run. For the past few seasons, they’ve swung from the hems of crochet dresses, dangled off raffia bags, and flirted with our earrings in that perfectly imperfect, boho-revival way. Then entered fringe: the tassel trend’s cooler, more sophisticated cousin:) Over the last few months—on the runways, in look-books, and, most tellingly, on the streets during fashion month—I’ve seen a new kind of embellishment take hold. Not the festival-coded fringe we’ve come to expect, but elongated, intentional fringe: silk-thread tendrils skimming the cuffs of tailored coats, razor-fine strands tracing the hem of bias-cut skirts, glossy strands suspended from satin scarves like punctuation marks. The effect is less “free spirit on holiday” and more “art collector with a calendar full of gallery openings.”

Below, browse from outfit inspiration featuring this trend, and shop all of the fringe scarves, tops, coats, and bags fashion people are wearing right now. Happy Scrolling!!
