The Fringe Trend Just Got a Chic, Blingy 2021 Update

The shortcut to a stunning look? All it takes is one dress embellished with flippy fringing and styled with some killer heels.

At Burberry, there were long-sleeved silver sequinned midi dresses, while Prada’s black column dresses came with extra long tassels at the hem. Fendi went down the 1920s flapper route, with diaphanous pencil dresses decorated with rows of beaded fringing.

The ‘going out top’ trend shows no sign of slowing down, and it’s ideal if you want to look dressed-up without having to make too much effort – or if you’re attending a virtual party and will only be visible from the waist up.

Take your cue from Givenchy, where feathery tops have been seen in both the couture and ready-to-wear collections teamed with tuxedo trousers. A tasseled top also looks great with mom jeans or – we won’t tell anyone – track pants if you’re staying on the sofa.

Tasseled accessories are a great way to tap into the fringe trend, without going all-out in a feathery dress or top. A fringed bag, particularly in a bright hue, really elevates an LBD, while dangly earrings add a festive touch to any outfit.
