It’s now the home stretch of fashion month, and as this season’s final shows begin to wrap in Paris, the latest runway trends are already making their way over to street style. One trend in particular that’s moved from runway to street? Fringe. Designers like Daniel Lee for Bottega Veneta (whom you can also thank for the it bag from Copenhagen Fashion Week) and Lucie and Luke Meier for Jil Sander have “landed on fringe as one of the season’s key motifs, sending the message that whimsy and frivolity are as essential as a jacket, shirt, and tie,” Vogue’s Nicole Phelps wrote about the top collectsions from Milan Fashion Week. Now, merely days later in Paris, fringe is showing up on showgoers and models alike.
While fringe today is still manifesting through Western-inspired fringe jackets and dresses that feel reminiscent of a 1920s flapper, designers and street style’s elite are making it clear that today’s take on the trend can be more thoughtful. It’s less about fringe for fringe’s sake, and more about refinement or clever accents; an unexpected fringe on the hemline of a wool coat, perhaps, or adorning the edge of a bag.
Ahead, find nine fringed accents to get you in on one of fall’s biggest runway trends.
