Fringe is having a moment, again. Here’s the Vogue-approved edit to shop now

Buckle up, girlies, cause its Fringe o’clock. This summer has been a season of fringe and fringe galore—spotted everywhere from runways to the streets. Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, these tassels were believed to have been worn by several civilisations. By the 1920s, fringe became the life of the party, seen on flapper dresses that moved effortlessly across jazz clubs. Then came the romanticism of the 1970s bohemian spirit, infused with tasseled maxi skirts and swishy suede jackets adorned with long fringes.

Fast-forward to spring/summer 2026: these loose threads have made their way to the runways. From Chanel to Gabriela Hearst and Bottega Veneta, the playful threads made frequent appearances in several shows. Chanel, for one, went a more cheerful route with its colourful feather-fringe skirts and intricate beaded-fringe tweed jackets, bringing movement to the maison’s classic codes. At the same time, Bottega Veneta embraced texture and fluidity through feathered coats, jackets, skirts, and accessories, pieces designed to sway with every step.

With summer days swiftly approaching, there is no better time to lean into this trend; after all, the beauty of it lies in how effortless it can be. A fringed midi skirt paired with a white tank. A sleek bag with swinging tassels. Even a barely-there trim on a heel can instantly elevate an otherwise basic look. Consider it the easiest way to add just the right amount of va va voom to your outfit. 

Ahead, Vogue Singapore rounds up the fringe pieces and accessories worth adding to your wardrobe now, all primed for the balmy days ahead.
