Quiet luxury had a good run, but Fall 2025 is bringing movement, texture, and a little drama back to the clothes rack. Fringe isn’t just having a moment – it’s everywhere, from couture runways to TikTok DIYs. If your outfit doesn’t sway when you walk, you’re already behind.
Fringe Takes Over the Runway

And it’s not just one vibe. This fall’s fringe comes in multiple style lanes: suede jackets for the cowboy-core crowd, shredded denim for grunge revivalists, crochet shawls for the boho loyalists, and rhinestone-draped dresses for full glam nights.

From Street to Social Feeds

Coachella turned into a fringe showroom – like coastal cowgirl but levelled up with metallic boots and statement belts. TikTok’s #fringeoutfit and #cowboycore hashtags are packed with creators turning thrift finds into fringe jackets or shredding old jeans into skirts.

Celebs Are All In

Off-stage, Julianne Moore, Halle Berry, Priyanka Chopra, Gigi Hadid, and Gabrielle Union have all worn fringe recently – proving it works on the red carpet, in street style, and across generations.

It taps into multiple nostalgia waves – Roaring ’20s glam, Western Americana, early-2000s boho – and looks great in motion on socials. Plus, in an age where every outfit is potential content, fringe’s swish factor is basically built-in special effects.
