Fringing is massive right now. Here’s how you should wear it.
From boho raffia baskets with whiskery edges to 1920s flapper-style silk numbers - fringing has had a revamp for 2022. Seen on the catwalks at Proenza Schouler and Chloe’s SS22 shows back in February, it is currently making its way onto the high streets in time for summer. Whether you are looking for a high-end tasselled investment piece or just an on-trend affordable nod – we’ve rounded up 12 buys from around the internet to get your fringe fix.
Fringed Sandals, £330
A luxe collaboration between cult Japanese brand Suicoke and France’s oldest design house, Lanvin, these fringed woven sandals will add a fashion edge to a simple shorts and tee this summer. Buy them.
Hever Cotton Twill Blazer, £84
If you’re looking for a structured workwear take on the fringe trend, this classic striped cotton blazer from Boden has a subtle frayed edge, making it still smart enough to pair with a shirt and tailored trousers, yet a fun update to a classic blazer style. Buy it.
Open-knit Dress, £29
A cool, breezy open-knit design with fringed hem, it’s great for over a bikini and paired with simple tan-sandals for boho beach days. Buy it.
Fringe Gold Earrings, £45
Add some glitz to a simple black dress with these fringed gold earrings from Anthropologie, which shimmy as you move for a hint of sparkle in the summer sunshine. Buy it.
Fringed Flat Leather Sandals, £59
These black leather slides from Zara are a summer staple with a nod to the fringe finish. Pair with minimalistic monochrome linens for a simple take on the fashion trend. Buy them.

A great designer accessory to make even the simplest pieces in your wardrobe look elevated. Use to cinch a loose linen dress or to belt paperbag trousers and leave the fringed tassels long for a modern feel. Buy it.

A perennial summer basket staple you will use for many holidays to come, this fringed raffia and leather bucket bag is a woven classic. Perfect paired with floaty summer print dresses for a cool, boho vibe. Buy it.
