Why Fringe Is the Statement Detail You Need in 2026

I used to only see fringe as something for festivals or cowgirl vibes, but not anymore – it’s officially having its glow up. I’m talking fringe jackets, purses, even tassel loafers… the texture is everywhere right now. 

Fringe is turning into an everyday statement piece. Whether it’s pairing your bodysuits with a fringe skirt or throwing a fringe jacket over a basic top and jeans, your outfit is no longer basic – it’s exciting. These pieces give off the vibe that they were found when sifting through piles of clothes at a vintage market, even if you actually grabbed them from Zara. They add a touch of drama and movement to any outfit, and I’m obsessed.

Fringe accessories are my personal obsession. Grabbing a fringe purse on your way out the door makes your outfit 10 times cooler. Bag charms are everywhere right now, but a fringe bag has all the style and movement that charms give you, without the extra jingle jangle every time you move. Don’t even get me started on fringe shoes. Tassel loafers are the cutest take on a classic shoe, and when I grab my fringe heels, I know it’s going to be a fun night out. No need to worry about accidentally matching with someone when your fringe accessories make every outfit unique.

So whether you’re going all out with a head-to-toe funky fit or keeping the outfit simple with a sprinkle of fun accessories, fringe is the way to go. It makes your outfit bold without being overwhelming.
