Fringes have been around for a long time, and the fashion world is no stranger to the allure of these dangling threads. Owing to the celebrated Flapper dress, the 1920s was the golden age for fringe fashion, as they gained significant popularity during the decade.
This dramatic accent took over the runway again last year, and it’s still going strong as a Spring ’23 fashion trend, with every elite fashion house returning to this detail. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, it’s time to add the raging fringe trend to your wardrobe.
Originating as an embellishment back in 3000 B.C. in Mesopotamia (now Iraq), legend has it that fringes were present in their sculptures and architecture. Over time, they evolved with dyes, luxurious textiles, and tying techniques to give the ensemble a distinctive appeal. It’s safe to say that adding flair to one’s outfits was still important back then, but with time, fringes got lost within the slew of new and upcoming trends. Despite that, they made a strong comeback in the 1950s with a rebellious update. (Remember Elvis Presley’s signature Fringe jackets?)
Fringes can be intimidating at first, but there are plenty of ways to embrace them without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you prefer a fully-tasselled look or just a hint of it on the seams or hemline, there’s a style out there for you.
Bring this on-trend detail to your wardrobe. Check out the finest in party-ready, high-octane, power-packed and ultra-fine festive fits and delve into the dramatic world of fringe fashion.
