Fringe Goes Full Swing This Fall
Fringe is back in a major way for Fall/Winter 2025, elevating runway looks and celebrity street style alike. Designers at New York Fashion Week draped everything from skirts to collars in fringe—think dynamic movement courtesy of Christopher John Rogers and Lingua Franca. Across London Fashion Week, fringe-esque tinsel added textural sparkle at shows by Ashish and Erdem.
Meanwhile, global fashion media confirms that fringe has moved beyond its boho roots. On sleek tailored suits, cozy knits, and bold avant-garde pieces—it's now about texture over trendiness. Vogue dubs this the season of “Maximalism for Minimalists”, where subtle fringe on neutral palettes delivers dramatic energy to even the most pared-back wardrobes.
Celebrities Bringing Fringe into Everyday Glam
Celebs are not just spectators— they’re fringe aficionados on the ground. Amal Clooney turned heads at Lake Como in an off‑the‑shoulder maxi dress trimmed with tiered white fringe, while Julianne Moore stunned in a thigh‑length fringe skirt with slits, cementing fringe as the conversation starter of the season.
How to Rock Fringe This Fall

For Subtle Sophistication: Opt for feminine touches—like a sweater hem, handbag trim, or skirt fringe—that add movement without going full costume.
-
For Bold Statements: A full-on fringe coat or skirt brings high-impact drama—perfect for making your entrance memorable.
-
To Keep It Versatile: The “Maximalism for Minimalists” approach is key—neutral tones with textured fringe let your outfit pop without overdoing it.
Why Fringe Now?

Whether it's a tactile statement on the street or a swishy gown on the red carpet, fringe is this fall’s answer to making texture the new spotlight.
