Express your inner cowgirl – West meets modernity with fringe fashion

written by Amy Steenkamp October 10, 2022

Swish swish! We are fringed out for the one trend sweeping the streets of fashion and just in time for the festive era.

As it recently appeared on the runway, fringe becomes a season essential. With its tassels, this fashion trend has a bohemian feel – conjuring up an idyllic summer look.

The 60s and 70s Wild West have inspired fringe – A roaring 20s western era is manifesting in fashion today through tops, pants, dresses, bags, and even earrings. Fringing is set to be one of the biggest fashion trends and we are saying “Hee Haw!”

This fashion trend consists of hanging threads or cords. Originally found in garments made out of leather, suede, or buckskin. Fringing is easy to wear, is very flattering and it’s also incredibly fun to wear.

Style your fringe

Fringe can be worn in different ways. It could be through fashion garments or accessories. Fringe may be a bit daring. But if you wear this right, it is a great style that will surely make you look fun and fashionable.

Pro Tip: It’s all about balance. We love an OTT (over-the-top) moment but it’s best to strike a stylish balance with this trend.

For example, if you are wearing a dress with fringe, keep accessories simple. If you are accessorising with fringe, our advice is to keep your core outfit simple and stylish, allowing the fringe to be the focal point.

Let’s not step out of the house in a head-to-toe fringe look.
