Fringe is everywhere this season—from the runways to everyday street style. The best part? You don’t have to go full-on Western to make it work. With the right styling, fringe feels modern, wearable, and even polished.
Here are seven easy ways to wear fringe this fall.
1. Let the Jacket Do the Talking
A fringe jacket instantly elevates jeans and a tee. Keep the rest simple: neutral basics, a sleek bag, and boots. It’s an easy formula for errands, school drop-off, or brunch.
2. Try a Fringe Skirt for Movement
Midi and mini fringe skirts are trending because they add texture without being too loud. Pair one with a fitted knit or cropped sweater. The key is balancing the volume so the skirt is the standout.
3. Add Texture with Accessories
If you’re not ready for full-on fringe, start small. A fringed crossbody or clutch adds just enough texture to elevate an outfit. Try it with denim and a white top for an effortless fall look.
4. Knits with a Twist
Fringe-trimmed sweaters and cardigans are everywhere this season. They’re playful but cozy, making them perfect for fall layering. Style them with straight-leg jeans or a simple skirt so the fringe detail feels intentional, not overwhelming.
5. Night-Out Fringe
For evening, fringe dresses and minis do all the work. Keep accessories minimal and choose sleek heels—this way the fringe is the focus. A look like this photographs beautifully, so it’s perfect for a night out.
6. Statement Boots
Fringe boots are making a comeback. Whether knee-high or ankle length, they pair best with tucked-in jeans or midi skirts that let the fringe peek through. They add movement and a little personality to an otherwise simple outfit.
7. Keep It Balanced
The biggest styling tip: one fringe piece per outfit. If you’re wearing a fringe skirt, keep your top clean. If you have fringe boots, skip the fringe jacket. This keeps the look styled and polished instead of costume-y.
Final Word
Fringe is one of fall 2025’s most wearable trends when styled with restraint. Whether you start with a jacket, a bag, or boots, the key is to let fringe shine on its own.
