Hey beauties — it’s Alissa here, and I am beyond excited to tell you: fringe is having a major comeback this fall. That’s right — the fun, flowy, movement-making detail we loved in Western and boho style is officially one of 2025’s top fashion trends. Designers from Alaïa to Sportmax are leaning hard into fringe in everything from skirts and jackets to bags and belts.
Before you worry fringe might feel costume-y, don’t. When done well, it adds texture, motion, and personality — and yes, you can absolutely wear it in Perryton without feeling over the top.
Why Fringe Works Now
Fall 2025 is all about revisiting wardrobe classics and giving them fresh energy. InStyle’s “7 Must-Have Trends for Fall 2025” calls out “fringe benefits” as a go-to detail that instantly spices up any piece. The key is balance: fringe works best when it’s paired with a fitted or simple foundation piece — a sleek bodysuit, a tailored skirt, or minimalist accessories that let the movement shine.
This trend is showing up in runway collections and street style alike. Celebrities like Amal Clooney have already been spotted in tiered fringe dresses, and fringe accents are cropping up on vests, skirts, and handbags. That gives us plenty of permission to try it ourselves.
Fringe You Can (and Should) Try in Perryton
Here are a few fringe styles that are wearable, stylish, and perfect for transitioning into Texas fall:
1. Fringe Jackets & Vests
A fringed suede jacket or cropped fringe vest brings instant edge. Wear it over a basic tee and jeans during the day, then layer on a cozy cardigan or jacket if it gets chilly at night.
2. Fringe Skirts or Hem Details
A skirt trimmed with fringe adds dynamic movement to your outfit. Pair with solid tops to avoid visual overload. Actress Gabrielle Union recently wore a fringe skirt in all white — the movement was dramatic and chic.
3. Fringe Accessories
If you’re not ready to go full fringe, look for bags, belts, or boot trims with subtle fringe touches. A fringed handbag or belt adds flair without overwhelming your whole look. InStyle calls belts with long hanging fringe “a jolt of energy” for any outfit.
4. Fringe Layered Over Basics
Fringe works beautifully as an accent layer — think a fringe top under a blazer or over a simple dress. Designers are layering fringe over clean silhouettes to let it stand out without competing.
How to Style Fringe (Without Going Overboard)
Here are my go-to tips (yes, from the salon and boutique world) for rocking fringe in a way that feels intentional:
-
Start simple. Let fringe be the detail, not the whole outfit. Combine with plain pieces in neutral tones.
-
Balance motion with structure. A fringed piece works beautifully when the rest of your outfit has structure — think fitted tops, straight skirts, or cropped pants.
-
Layer smartly. In Texas, days can shift fast — morning chill, afternoon warmth. Wear layers underneath your fringe item you can shed as the day warms up.
-
Pick your length. Subtle fringe (around hemline or sleeves) is easier to pull off. Long, dramatic fringe can work too — just keep other elements minimal.
-
Mind the fabric. Fringe in soft knits, suede, or lightweight leather gives movement without too much bulk.
Fringe in Perryton: Wear It Your Way
Living in Perryton means dressing for both function and style. With cooler mornings and days that often heat up, fringe gives you style that moves with you.
Ready to try fringe? Start with one piece — maybe a vest with fringe, or a skirt trimmed with it. Add solid basics and let fringe do the talking. And when you want help pairing or styling a fringe piece, swing by The Cut Collective — I’d love to help you pull it all together.
