The 2025 autumn and winter collections feature many designs that emphasize fluidity through fabric cutting and line treatments, enhancing silhouettes with a sense of movement and dynamic beauty. As models walk, this visual flow extends naturally, and fringe has become one of the most important elements this season to create motion in styling. Different lengths, thicknesses, and volumes of fringe are applied to garments, combined with various elements to sway together and present fresh, fashionable looks.
Fringe first appeared in fashion in the 1920s, inspired by the dance called “The Charleston.” To showcase the graceful movements of women dancing, garments covered with dangling tassels were created. Later, fringe became one of the classic elements of Bohemian style. With the strong revival of Bohemian fashion in recent seasons, fringe has taken over the 2025 spring and autumn/winter runways, bringing a sense of freedom and fluidity. Traditional long fringe is widely used in full or partial decoration on dresses, while some brands apply it as small pendants or embellishments to add rhythm and detail.
Infusing Dynamic Energy
Common fringe materials include beaded chains, silk, knit, and sequins. A major feature this season is the idea that “everything can become fringe.” From rustic raffia to distressed denim, from fluffy knits to Art Deco–inspired metallic threads, and even today’s trending fabrics like tulle, lace, and feathers, all are combined with exotic prints, loose silhouettes, and unique accessories to express a free-spirited and unconventional beauty.
In the 2025 autumn and winter fashion context, aesthetic language is infused with new light effects and emotional perception. More luminous materials such as metallic threads, sequins, and rhinestones are applied to trendy outfits, delivering a narrative of vitality and energy for the season.
As models move down the runway, fringe—already inherently rhythmic—shines even more when enhanced with reflective materials, creating floating light and shimmering brilliance that amplify its vibrant effect.
Multicolor Blends for a More Lively Look
This season, fringe not only becomes richer in materials but also presents a vivid palette of colors. Beyond the popular seasonal shades, multicolor fringe is used to create stronger visual impact through color contrasts.
Some designs even use fringe arrangements to display patterns or motifs, which, when in motion, resemble ink drops blown by the wind—colorful, vibrant, and full of movement.
More Than Just at the Hemline
Fringe inherently carries volume, and thanks to its strand-by-strand structure, the heavier it is, the more dynamic and flowing it appears. With its diverse forms, the placement of fringe also becomes highly versatile. It can be applied around the neckline, shoulders, cuffs, or hemline. However, it is important to balance the amount used depending on placement. For example, on the upper body, too much fringe can easily create a “piled-up” effect. On the lower body, designers need to consider the coordination between length and density: long fringe works better with lower density, while short fringe looks best with higher density. This balance ensures that the sense of fluidity remains harmonious and stylish.
