Brightness and casual
Fringe can be used to decorate the hem of a skirt, dress or top, both weekend and everyday. Fringe of shiny threads gives a brighter and more elegant look, while fringe of knitwear or other calm material is more suitable for an urban outfit, for example, for a walk.

Bright detail or subtle accent
When choosing a dress, skirt, top with fringe, it is worth considering that, being located on one or another part of the body, it will invariably attract attention. The fringe on the hips can expand them somewhat, on the chest line - to give this part of the body additional volume. Semi-sheer fringe along the bottom of the skirt will draw attention to the legs, while the fringe instead of the sleeve will accentuate the arms. Quite bold options are possible - for example, asymmetric fringe on a classic raincoat. But if you want a quieter outfit that contains one trendy accent, choose a fringed tank top that can be worn over a dress or tee, a fringed bag, or a scarf.

Fringe is a very peculiar element for decorating dresses, because it was very popular in the 20s of the last century. It is used to decorate clothes in country style, boho or aesthetics. Today, famous fashion designers use it as a decoration for stylish, bright and sophisticated dresses.
Fringe helps to bring passion, courage and an insatiable sense of freedom into the image. But it also often gives girls chic, sophistication and aristocracy.
Peculiarities
Today fringes can be created from any material, have different lengths and colors. Designers use leather, suede, silk and cotton, as well as fabrics of extraordinary textures to create a stylish and effective fringe. These funny strings can be a separate element of the dress decor, or decorate the neckline, collar, hem or sleeve of a dress.
Fringe on dresses can be presented in the form of refined tassels or thin nets.
Popular models
- Short dresses, presented in the "Latina" style, are distinguished by the fact that they are decorated with fringes along the entire length. If you wish, you can make any dress yourself fashionable; it is enough to sew four or five rows of braid onto a simple dress with thin straps.
- Dresses with fringed hem look very nice and attractive, especially if the threads are about 40 centimeters long. Today, a fringed poncho dress is in fashion, because it gives the girl femininity, fragility, and thin ropes make the image light and energetic.
- Outfits in which only a skirt or bodice is decorated with fringe. Such a dress is suitable for girls with imperfect proportions, because the fringe allows you to add the required volume or stretch the entire silhouette. So, short threads are used to create volume, and a long fringe allows you to visually make the figure slimmer.
- Knitted dresses or jersey outfits are also often decorated with fringes. Hand knitting allows you to make a fringe from the same thread as the knitted garment.
- A dress made of thin strips of fabric with a fringe looks very interesting. The uneven shape of the stripes will help to add volume in the right places.
- Country-style dresses are often decorated with fringe, namely the neckline, collars and sleeves. The fringe, which is located at the seams of the flared skirt, looks impressive and stylish.
Evening dresses
Evening and cocktail dresses decorated with fringes look spectacular and luxurious. A sundress with thin spaghetti straps or with a three-quarter sleeve looks great.
Fringe is a self-sufficient element of a woman's wardrobe. She is able to decorate even a strict outfit, give it romance and originality.
Today, many women of fashion go to parties in dresses with fringe, which not only decorates the image, but gives it lightness, grace and appeal.
An evening dress can be decorated with both long and short fringes, one-color or multi-colored.
Ballroom for dancing
Tight dresses with a short length on slightly noticeable spaghetti straps, decorated with fringes, belong to the Latin style. In this outfit, every girl will always be in the center of the dance floor, and it is not necessary to be able to dance.
Often, a ball gown is trimmed with fringe at the waist, which allows you to emphasize its sophistication. For owners of long thin arms, fringed gloves are perfect.
Thin ropes in the neckline will surely attract the attention of others. But most of all, girls for dancing prefer dresses with fringes along the hem.
Chicago style
This season, many fashionistas have a Chicago-style dress in their wardrobe, which is everyone's favorite classic and looks very impressive.
Features of an evening dress in this style:
- The length of the cocktail dress can vary from knee to ankle. If you need to recreate the atmosphere of the thirties of the twentieth century, then you can choose an outfit with a more daring length.
- A characteristic low waist, although you can not adhere to this rule, since natural proportions are appreciated. For the twenties of the twentieth century, they usually did not focus on the waist or used a lowered version to the middle of the hips, then a decade later they began to be guided by the usual female silhouette when sewing dresses.
- The most popular fabric is satin, but silk, chiffon and velvet dresses are also common. Fringe, rhinestones and beads, sequins and sequins are used to decorate a dress in the style of Chicago.
The highlight of the dress is the oblique cut, which perfectly outlines the female silhouette. This cut is not often found today, it is mainly used in tailoring evening dresses for parties dedicated to the thirties.
- The outfits are characterized by a deep cut in the back and a form-fitting silhouette that gradually widens downward from the hip line.
- The perfect figure for a Chicago-style dress is a sophisticated silhouette with graceful lines and wide shoulders.
Popular colors
Each fashionista can choose a dress of all her favorite color, because designers offer fringed outfits in different colors. The classic options are black, white and gray.
For lovers of bright colors, a scarlet, light green, red or blue dress is suitable. Gloves should be chosen to match the jewelry.
The most popular colors for fringed cocktail dresses this year are classic white or black, luxurious gold, and sexy scarlet or red.
When choosing a color scheme, it is necessary to select all the elements of the image in such a way that they harmoniously complement each other. So, a coral dress with silver trim will go well with a silver clutch.
Fringe is a fashionable drapery for several years. It is found on bags and jackets, but a fringed dress looks the most interesting and advantageous. How and with what to wear it, what types of dresses with this decorative element exist, you will find out in this article.
Many of us associate fringe with the Wild West. But this is a rather superficial impression. The term "fringe" came to us from the Arab countries, it is translated as "lace". For the first time, some elements of this decor were used by the ancient Babylonians!
Over time, the tribes of India began to use long strips of fabric not as decoration, but for functional purposes. Thinly sliced leather and wool strands were excellent at keeping the moisture away in a downpour.
Fringe became an element of a solemn appearance in the 20s of the last century. Flappers began to use it in their image (a nickname for emancipated and free girls of the twenties, who personified the generation of the "roaring twenties"). At that time, the girls began to cut their hair short, smoke, show their legs. Fringe made it possible to draw attention to a slender female body, which was considered a cult at that time. The fashion of that time resisted the demonstration of the volumes of the female body. Girls often bandaged their bust to make their breasts less voluminous.
The fringe emphasized the dynamics of the silhouette during the dance. She seemed to call for fun and enjoyment of life right here and now. In addition, the decor slightly covered the too short outfits.
The image of that period is most accurately represented in the film "The Great Gatsby". Girls wear a fur boa, a short haircut, and shoes with a membrane. There are no feminine curves in the silhouette: a straight silhouette dress often has a low waistline.
Styles and models
Looking at modern photos of dresses, you are surprised how wide variety of styles modern designers offer! The classic version is a fringed suede dress. Natural fabrics and neutral shades - brown, black, beige, create the image of a warlike and bright Amazon. A fringed leather dress looks no less attractive. This is an option for a formal exit or a stylized party.
A dress with fringed sleeves is perfect for a girl with skinny arms. The asymmetrical cut and bold fringe accents work well with the knit fabric. By the way, a knitted fringed dress is more versatile, it can be worn for a walk with friends, for a seaside promenade.
A dress with a décor in the waist area looks great on thick fabric. Go for luscious shades and tight-fitting styles. The style should not be worn by women with problem areas in the waist area.
A dress with fringe and sequins looks unusual and at the same time bright. With such clothes, you will immediately draw attention to your own person!
The model with a fringed hem is ideal for a slender girl with beautiful and long legs. This outfit is especially popular at the moment.
A bright cocktail dress with fringes, distributed over the entire surface of the product, refers to the "Latino" style. This garment is able to attract the attention of dance floor visitors. Often, designers trim the neckline with fringe, which looks very elegant. This option is not suitable only for girls with a magnificent bust, as it will add unnecessary volume.
A fringed knitted dress can be called a casual model. A translucent outfit will tell you about your good taste and show your individuality! We recommend this option for obese women: dark shades visually slim, and fringe lengthens the silhouette.
A fringed outfit is a challenge, an experiment that not every girl will dare to. Clothes with a similar decoration are difficult to classify as everyday, it is more of a fashionable attribute. Natural taste and level of modesty will tell you which option is right for you.

You can complement the dress with both refined and sophisticated sandals, and boots, boots in a man's style. Long silver jewelry and necklaces are a great finish to your look. It is good to choose a fringed handbag to match the dress, the main thing is not to overdo it!
If earlier fringe was an attribute of the wardrobe of a kind of informals like hippies or people of a certain circle, today it adorns outfits created by great designers. Fringe can be different: short and long, over dresses and instead of them, in the form of tassels that adorn the hem of the dresses.
In the spring-summer season of 2019, fringe is actively used as a decoration for clothes, shoes, accessories, and also acts almost as the main outfit. You must admit that there is something to come to a complete delight for fans of silk ribbons, twisted threads and leather laces.
Fringed dresses
Particularly popular in the spring-summer 2019 season are poncho dresses with fringes that adorn the hem or neckline. This style makes the figure fragile and feminine, and the dancing ropes make the image light and energetic.
Fringe can be of all types, any length and made from any material, including leather, suede, silk or cotton yarn, as well as from fabrics of unusual textures. For example, at Alexander Wang and Barbara Bui, the fringe is made of leather, at Alberta Ferretti and Issey Miyake, it is represented by thin colored threads made of the same yarn as the dress itself.
All kinds of pendants can act as a separate element decorating sleeves, collars, neckline or hem of a dress, or as a main outfit.
Fringe can be in the form of a long colored "noodle" that adorns light dresses in the style of the 20s, or it can be a continuous canvas of thin threads, which are not so much a decorative element as an original thread hem - any manifestation of fringe is relevant in the spring-summer season of 2019.
Fringe looks quite familiar on dresses with ethnic motifs (Valentino) or in the Gothic style (Givenchy), which partly resemble seductive camisols and peignoirs.
Fringed skirts
The latest fashion trend is fringed skirts, and here it is located either in several tiers, or in one, but with very long threads. For example, Elisabetta Franchi presented some nice ensembles with a skirt decorated with a long fringe.
Loewe presented a skirt with glittery noodles, reminiscent of holiday tinsel. Stella Jean surprised everyone at the show with its "fringed" skirt, decorated with a falling cascade of multi-colored ribbons that add volume in the right places.
The fashionable fringed skirt goes well with both casual t-shirts and sweaters, as well as formal jackets and blouses, both with sneakers and stiletto heels.
Fringed Tops & Jackets
Not only dresses and skirts are decorated with fringe, but also tops, jackets, as well as sweatshirts and jackets. For example, Barbara Bui and Elisabetta Franchi build their entire Spring / Summer 2019 collection around fringed items, from tops and pants to jackets and summer jackets.
Designers mix fringe in several things at once: a skirt with a raincoat, trousers with a jacket ... They make it from leather, suede, textiles, yarn - any texture is suitable for creating a "fringed" decor.
Fringed shoes and accessories
Of course, the trend for fringes has not spared accessories, mainly bags and belts, as well as shoes. Saddle bags, woven basket bags, backpacks decorated with ponytails, tassels and other "hanging" elements are the most successful purchase of the season.
There are also more glamorous options, for example, miniature handbags and clutches made of patent or braided genuine leather, but always with fringe.
The appearance on the feet of fashion models of shoes with fringes, meditatively swaying to the beat of the movements, suggests that shoes, slippers, sandals with dancing pendants promise to become a trend in the coming spring-summer season.
It is difficult to say what caused the popularity of fringe in the spring-summer 2019 season: the fashion for ethnicity or the desire to revive the image and give it dynamics. The fact remains that fringe is in fashion, of any length and from any material. This is a trend that has been, is and will always be present on catwalks and store windows.
