Fringe is the 2026 Micro-Trend Fashion People Didn’t Expect

Tassels had a good run. For the past few seasons, they’ve swung from the hems of crochet dresses, dangled off raffia bags, and flirted with our earrings in that perfectly imperfect, boho-revival way. But lately, I’ve noticed something shift. The movement is still there—the swish, the sway, the kinetic drama—but it’s been refined. Streamlined. Elevated. In short: grown up.

Enter fringe: the tassel trend’s cooler, more sophisticated cousin.
