The Trending Fringe Bags, Jackets, & Dresses R29 Editors Are Carting

Fringe is back — and it’s back in every possible variation and vibe. Whether you’re into Western and boho aesthetics or enjoy flapper and festival fringe details, there are modern interpretations that make the comeback trend super wearable. You can easily incorporate fringe into your spring and summer wardrobe, and we at R29 are excited to start shopping the playful trend.

Fringe dresses have been all over the runways this year, and they’re anything but ordinary, with tiered layers and metallics coming into play. While we’ve got our eyes on some dresses, we also have also picked a slew of other fringe fashion and fringe accessories that we’ll be wearing this season. And spoiler, the overall consensus is that we’re very into fringe purses and fringe outerwear of all types (think cropped jackets, blazers, and vests).

Read on to find out which fringe pieces we’ll be carting up and how we plan on styling them. Now’s the best time to jump on the trend and figure out which fringe clothing and accessories you want to add into your own wardrobes.

[BLANKNYC] Show Stopper Blazer, $98.00 $39.95

“I’m a fashion enthusiast who likes to scope out timeless silhouettes with a bit of a quirk. Anything from fringe, embroidery, or even an unexpected color has a thumbs up from me. This Show Stopper Blazer is right up my alley since it’s a gorgeous periwinkle blue blazer with fringe detailing. It’s easy to style for spring, and you can effortlessly pair it with a button down and trousers for the office or a silk camisole and high-waisted cutoffs for an edgy off-duty look.” — Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer

AllSaints Evaline Fringe Leather Crossbody Bag, $229

“I’m thrilled that fringe is coming back in a big way this spring and summer, but I’m not quite at a place where I feel like a full Western wear look is for me. That’s why this AllSaints bag is screaming my name: it’s super wearable with everything from formal outfits to ripped jeans in both its black and white colorways, its shape is timeless, and its manageable size and crossbody strap make it easy to bring to a concert, on the subway, or any other crowded spot where oversized bags just won’t cut it. I’m planning to wear this with jumpsuits and colorful sundresses this summer, but it’s definitely versatile enough (and not too trendy) to work as a going-out bag once the temperature dips again in the fall.” — Sarah Crow, Affiliate Director

Conditions Apply Pearl Fringe Vest, $160

“Now, this is pretty bold for me, but if I’m going to take on the fringe trend this season, there has to be something whimsical about the piece to make it fit my style. While I’m not so much into the western or boho look, I am into delicate pearls and some shimmer, like in this unique fringe vest. I could see myself elevating a bar or club outfit with this statement piece.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Affiliate Writer

Shop Anthropologie

Urban Outfitters Heart Fringe Drop Earrings, $20

“I like to keep at least one piece of fringe clothing in my closet at all times because those flashy flying strings know how to make any outfit fun. But I never thought about incorporating fringe via jewelry. Therefore, I plan to cart these adorable heart-shaped statement earrings from Urban Outfitters for the next time my ensemble is in need of a little glitz and glamor — whether I’m flaunting a simple black dress paired with an updo or a laid-back denim-on-denim moment.” — Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Lifestyle Writer

Shop Urban Outfitters

Tory Burch Small Kira Flap Shoulder Bag, $798 $549

“The super-lengthy, fringed look can sometimes lean a little too much on the boho side for me, but this shoulder bag nails the boho look without looking too costumey. The woven leather details remind me of a basket bag, which screams resort chic, but the delicious sage color and gold hardware make it a suitable piece for non-beachy looks, too. The fact that it’s on sale is another tempting sign to put it in your cart.” — Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

Shop Tory Burch

Express Ribbed Halter Neck Fringe Midi Sweater Dress, $128 $79

“I love this Express ribbed fringe dress so much, and I love it even more since it’s currently on sale. It’s the perfect ‘everything dress.’ I could easily wear it to a casual backyard barbecue paired with a denim jacket, or to an evening summer soiree with strappy heels. The mid-weight ribbed fabric is also great for chillier spring and summer nights.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Affiliate Writer

Shop Express

Rabôt Paradisi Skirt in Black, $415

“I’ve been lusting after this fringe skirt since I first saw it at the brand’s press preview last year. A minimal staple to the perfect summer capsule, it’s ideal for strolling on vacations and looking put together at the beach. Plus, if the night turns into a party, you’re ready to dance a la flapper.” — Frances Solá-Santiago, Fashion Writer

Shop Rabôt

Jules Kae Talia Fringe Jacket, $195

“I rented this jacket on a whim from Nuuly after marathoning Daisy Jones & The Six on Amazon and can’t believe how wearable it actually is. The cropped length looks just as good paired with jeans and a band tee as it does thrown over a bodycon midi dress, but the boxier shape ensures it doesn’t look too costumey or like I’m cosplaying as a B-list celeb at Coachella. The faux suede material is so soft, and it’s the perfect light layer for cooler spring days. It’s become such a go-to in the last few weeks, I’m definitely purchasing it for keeps. And I love the ivory color I got, but now that I see it’s available in Barbie pink, I might go back for that one, too.” — Charlotte Lewis, Sexual Health & Wellness Writer

Shop Jules Kae

Petit Kouraj Mini Fringe Top Handle Bag, $325

“Say the word fringe to me, and the image of Petit Kouraj’s fringe top handle bag will pop up. The wearable piece of art is stunning, and the amount of work that goes into it is incredible and awe-inspiring. Artisans in Haiti individually sew each strand of fringe 342 times. Also, what I particularly like about this style is that it comes with a chic chain crossbody strap. The sashaying bag is perfect for elevated social and work events.” — Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer

Shop Nordstrom

Delfi Collective Strapless Silk Fringe Dress, $398

“If I was in the market for a summer wedding guest dress, I would 100% scoop this stunning dress from Anthropologie. It’s super sleek, the fringe adds a fun touch, and it would no doubt sway beautifully for a night full of dancing. Plus, the tie-back adds a summery flare to it. I personally think I look good in orange and that it’s flattering on many skin tones, so I actually think that any of us could effortlessly pull this vibrant dress off.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Affiliate Writer

Festival Outfit Ideas To Inspire Your Summer Style

Fashion TikTok Is Turning Jeans Into Maxi Skirts, But Is It As Easy As It Looks?

Denim maxi skirts continue to persist as one of the hottest denim trends for 2023, as a counter-movement to the micro mini trend we saw last year. There are plenty of styles available to shop — but what if you could make one yourself?

Viral tutorials on how to upcycle a pair of jeans into a maxi skirt dominated TikTok earlier this year, so naturally we had to give it a go to see if it’s worth the effort. The project lets you flex your craft skills while also doing your bit for the planet. By DIY-ing, you get to engage with the fashion cycle without buying something new — and also save a pair of jeans from landfill. It’s a win-win situation for your wardrobe and the environment.

On paper, this should be a relatively easy task and has been hailed as a beginner activity for anyone who has the basics of sewing down. The crux of the DIY is taking out the seams between the inner crotch on both sides so that the legs turn into a deconstructed flat panel, before stitching the flappy bits together to create a beautiful new skirt. Simple enough, right? Let’s find out.

So, armed with a dream, a thrifted pair of jeans and a sewing machine, off I went into the world of DIY. As someone who only owns one pair of jeans (shocking, I know) I wasn’t going to risk never seeing them again, so I hopped to my nearest thrift store and found a pair of True Religion straight jeans that not only fit, but had a sturdiness to them that was needed to handle my wishful thinking and high school-level skillset. Turns out, I severely undershot the time I would actually need to put aside, with a one and a half hour commitment turning into a five-hour process.

Perhaps watching between two and five videos without taking notes wasn’t the best idea. It was all fun and games stitching in a straight line until I realized (too late) that following the lines of the former legs religiously meant that I had created a little tail for myself, where the crotch point formerly was. When I went to redo it, following a new line that would encase the little denim elephant trunk I had brought into the world, it then created the opposite problem — an unfortunately placed pucker. In the process of unpicking, I also lost some of the original stitching from the hem and got quite flustered trying to keep the front panel flat where I had crossed the bottom of the zipper over.

After re-familiarizing myself with the nifty unpicker tool, many breaks and breathing exercises, I finally had something that resembled a skirt, but I couldn’t help but feel like I had messed with a perfectly good pair of jeans. (Again, I’m very thankful I didn’t touch my precious daily wear pair but I also have faith that a re-do would go a long way.) So, I chatted with co-founder of Sydney, Australia, sewing studio Bobbin & Ink, Laura Walsh, to help shed light onto how to hack this project without it literally being a hack job. She explained that the best way to set yourself up for success with a project like this is to double check the basics.

“Most machines can sew through denim, but you might find that getting through thicker parts of the denim, some might struggle or you might need to tweak your settings,” she tells Refinery29 Australia, explaining that little things like having a sharp needle can make all the difference with how a sewing project will turn out. “If you’re not a super confident sewer and you don’t set up the machine properly, obviously things can go wrong and the fabric can get caught in the machine.”

Walsh agrees the best approach is to unpick the inner leg seam to the crotch (and sometimes the outer ones too) to see how much fabric you’re working with. “Obviously skinny leg jeans are very skinny towards to bottom, so if you’re wanting a skirt you can walk in, maybe go for flared, wide-leg or straight jeans in order to get the bottom of it not looking too tight.” It’s always better to be safe than sorry though, because even if it fits at the end, it might not when you’re out and about.

“You don’t want to sew something up and have it hanging on for dear life because the minute you stress the skirt out by sitting down or being bloated, that’s going to put on strain and pop your jeans out,” says Walsh. Sizing up will give you the best shot at success, but most important is to make sure the jeans fit at your waist to reduce the amount of work you have to do.

“If you can get the jeans on and pin it while you’re wearing it, that will probably help, but that’s a bit tricky so you might need help from a friend,” adds Walsh, explaining that continually trying on before you sew is equivalent of sharpening an axe.

As for my artificial tail, you can avoid my mistake by cutting away some of the fabric, says Walsh. “You’d have to lay one section on top of the other section. In your jeans, the crotch and butt area has a little bit of extra fabric that goes into your butt crack essentially,” she says. “Obviously you don’t need that for a skirt, because it’s flat at the back so that bulk has to go somewhere. And if you don’t cut it away, it’s going to be folded into the garment somewhere.” This can be remedied by unpicking a little bit higher than where the tailbone sits, then laying the prettier excess fabric over the rest.

If you’re nervous, start off with a pair of jeans you really won’t miss — and cut yourself some slack. Remember, you can always buy a new denim skirt worst-case scenario, or even invest in a tailoring service or sewing class to support a local business and ensure that the jeans actually get a second life this season.

“The blessing and problem with upcycling is that it requires a little imagination, which sucks, because you have to decide how you like it to fit,” concludes Walsh. “I think it’s all about expectations — if you’re a beginner, you have to be realistic about what it’s going to look like especially if you don’t have skills in pattern-making or alterations yet. Treat it as a project; it’s an experiment, expect mistakes and if you don’t cut to much away you can always unpick. Be kind to yourself.”

"I saw a store clerk wearing this jumpsuit & loved it — even risked buying final sale because I couldn't resist! The clerk had me try jeans to figure out the size (curvy high-waisted jeans in size 26, even though I'm usually a size 4 or 27 in other jeans/brands), and she recommended the size 2 in the jumpsuit. I took her advice, and she was 100% right," raves a reviewer. "They arrived today and I never want to take these off! When I first tried them on, I worried the torso was a little short and that they'd ride up in the back or be too fitted to get off my shoulders to go to the bathroom. But, after wearing them for a few hours, they molded into my body."

Best Jumpsuit To Layer On Top

We're here to share the softest and slouchiest jumpsuit you'll ever own. The cozy piece is a must-have for layering, whether before or after a workout or on top of your at-home crewneck. Two reviewers had different approaches to snagging their jumpsuits. One stopped a woman in the street to ask where she got her one-piece, and another contemplated whether she should buy it. Overall consensus: They loved it, and you shouldn't sleep on it.

"While out shopping, I saw a woman wearing this jumpsuit. I complimented her as they looked cute and comfy. After learning it was from Free People, I ordered the French Navy," writes a reviewer. "I was extremely skeptical about sizing down as I typically wear medium, but multiple reviews saying that these overalls run large convinced me to downsize. I’m 5’1”, 129 lbs, and the small is perfect while still having plenty of roomy. Good quality fabric as well. These will be go-to overalls!"

One more reviewer explained, "I contemplated this onesie for so long and wished I didn’t because I always wear it. You can dress it up or down, and it’s cute with just a bralette or sports bra. Seriously great for all seasons, and I want ALL the colors!"

Norma Kamali Slip Jumpsuit


Best Maximalist Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars; 52 reviews on Amazon.com

Feast your eyes on a whimsical Norma Kamali jumpsuit that comes in eight additional funky prints and in all-black. Our favorite is the vintage quilt piece because of its bright shades and eye-catching patterns. It's a maximalist's dream.

"The jumpsuit is much prettier in person than in the photo! It fits like a glove. I agree with another reviewer who said that busty girls might need additional support as the top portion doesn't offer much. I can't wait to wear this stunner on my vacation," explains a reviewer. "The fabric Norma Kamali uses packs like a dream. You couldn't wrinkle it if you tried! I also took another reviewer's advice and cut the hem because it has a very long inseam. It came out perfect, and I think the raw hem will hold up fine. I'm so glad I bought this on a whim. This piece is exceptional!"

Best Cozy Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars; 48 reviews on Madewell.com

Reviewers rave that they didn't want to take it off and trust their judgments after trying it on. It's comfortable and soft with a slightly loose fit making it ideal for chillier days. All you have to do is layer it with a cardigan sweater for a cozy look. 

"Oh my god. The majority of my closet is Madewell and I have to say this is one of the best things I have purchased. It's so insanely comfortable and soft, it feels like wearing pajamas. This is the PERFECT piece for work from home and can transition to wearing it out too," a reviewer exclaims. "I ordered both a S and M to try sizing. For reference, I'm 5'6", 140 lbs, 32C. the S fit perfect but showed a bit more of my stomach (slightly tighter) so I decided to keep the M which is a little baggier and feels more like pajamas to me."

Daily Practice By Anthropologie


Best Jumpsuit To Lounge In

The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars; 39 reviews on Anthropologie.com

Get ready to lounge in style in Daily Practice's The Palmra Jumpsuit. If you're a bit chilly or want to wear it in colder months, the relaxed-fit one-piece lays the groundwork for you to layer with a thin long-sleeve or an oversized sweater.

"I love this jumpsuit. It's super cute; it's a relaxed fit and flowy. But the fabric feels good, and it has some good weight to it," writes a reviewer. "I'm short, on the small side, so I feared it would swallow me. And while it is oversized, it's supposed to be; that's the trend of these loungy jumpsuits. I'm going to enjoy wearing this piece this fall and adding a cardigan as it gets cooler."

Best Staple Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars; 16 reviews on Mmlafleur.com

"The Janet Jumpsuit is a high-quality one-piece. I’ve worn it super casual and on other occasions with a blazer and heels. I’m generally not a fan of jumpsuits as they are not always flattering and can be challenging to maneuver in the restroom. However, this piece is easy, beautiful, and very versatile. I’ve recently ordered a second one in the other color!" writes a reviewer.

Anthropologie The Somerset Jumpsuit


Best Flowy Jumpsuit

The Hype: 5 out of 5 stars; 7 reviews on Anthropologie.com

If you've been following the Shopping Team's fashion reviews, you'll know that the Anthropologie Somerset Collection is one of our faves. The signature silhouette comes in a variety of materials, from linen to velvet. Now we're eyeing the jumpsuit version that exudes the same flowiness as the maxi dress.

"This is a super stretchy, natural cool material. It's easy to wear, you step into it from the top. It's a little low, so you may need a bralette or something underneath depending on how comfortable you are," writes a reviewer. "It looks good with a belt or without one-- it's cinched enough around the waist to work either way, and I'm pretty busty, so more often than not I can't find jumpsuits that follow my curves but this one does. Wear it with colored heels or earrings!"

Abercrombie & Fitch designed the ultimate all-around versatile one-piece that works for various occasions — and the design is quickly grabbing the attention of jumpsuit enthusiasts.

I honestly wasn’t expecting to like the material but I actually really do like it. It’s lightweight that this won’t be too hot to wear in the summer, and I can wear it now with a jean jacket or sweater," writes a reviewer. "I can’t wait to wear it and get it in more colors! Seriously if you were debating to get this DO IT. It’s seriously the cutest thing ever."

"This is such a flattering fit onesie. My only regret is not going with the tall. While I’m 5’4 and these are technically the perfect length and don’t drag on the floor (maybe an inch or inch and half above the floor), I do prefer my flare bottoms to have that lengthier look so it doesn’t look short when paired with a bulky shoe," explains a reviewer.

Best Party Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars; 113 reviews on ELOQUII.com

Are you looking for a showstopper? Here it is. Dance the night away in this glittery silver jumpsuit. As you twirl and move to the beat, all eyes will be on you. You'll want to add this to your cart ASAP, as it sells out frequently.

"I bought this in silver for a winter gala, and loved it! I normally wear a 14/16 in Eloquii sizing and went up to an 18 for this and I’m so glad I did. It fit great and was so comfortable. I’m 5’6 and the length was perfect with a short heel. I got so many compliments," a reviewer shares. "The piece did snag quite a bit. That’s to be expected for a full sequined piece, but I dropped a star only for that reason. I was leaving a trail of sequins everywhere I went. If you’re not a subtle dresser and want to wear something fun, go for it!"

The Best — And Blackest — Looks At The Met Gala

The Met Gala, fashion’s most popular event was held last night in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and  the theme was an ode and celebration to the late Karl Lagerfeld. The event, coined Karl Lagerfeld: The Line of Beauty sparked controversy since  Lagerfeld was known to stand firm in his outdated and harmful beliefs on size inclusivity, the LGBTQ community, and the #MeToo movement. Lagerfeld was a problematic figure whose legacy must be held accountable, and yet, he was a central figure in fashion and through his work as the creative director of Chanel, his timeless designs and creative innovation are undeniably a part of fashion history. It was incredible to see so many big, Black, and/ or queer celebrities interpret the theme in their own unique ways and even though Lagerfeld would have probably disapproved of the diversity on display, they celebrated their impact on fashion — including Chanel’s legacy (Black women have been rocking Chanel expertly for decades). Black celebs were celebrated for the very things Lagerfeld hated, and that — instead of honoring a problematic figure with archaic views – should be the legacy of last night’s Met Gala. 

There’s no surprise that the Costume Institute knows how to get people talking but in years’ past, the event has been a fashion disappointment. In the past two years the themes didn’t live up to the hype. In 2021, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion  highlighted BIPOC designers in the exhibition but not enough were included on the carpet (which is where the real exposure is) and in 2022,  the Gilded Glamour theme was confusing, very underwhelming, and felt performative. . 

Thankfully, this year brought out the best A-list celebs (we were just missing our girl Zendaya) who graced the carpet with inspired interpretations of Lagerfeld’s many eras, including his time at Chloé, Fendi, and of course Chanel. Our only note would have been to see more designers tap into specific archival collections and color themes so that everyone didn’t wear the same two colors: black and white. I had the pleasure of attending the Met for Unbothered. Over in the media pit at the top of the iconic Met stairs, Unbothered patiently waited for everybody Black to walk by and snag the chance to chat with them. Some of my favorite moments included Janelle Monaé telling me what she loves about Black women and herself as a non-binary person, Teyana Taylor giving some body rolls, Usher posing and showing the details of his fit, and last (but fashionably late) Rihanna & A$AP Rocky shutting down the carpet. Here are the Black celebs who slayed the Met and left no crumbs:

Quinta Brunson in Prabal Gurung

Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson graced the Met Gala carpet for the first time and she did not disappoint. Her gown centers the camellia flower which is a nod to Chanel. We love that she opted for a colorful gown underneath the sheer instead of white. The real moment of Brunson’s look that stole the show was her laid baby hairs and natural updo.

Kerry Washington in Michael Kors

We live for a  sheer moment! Although this look was not much of a risk for Kerry Washington, the look made me think back to Chanel’s 1993 haute couture runway show. This look is a modernized nostalgic moment. This outfit single-handedly encouraged us to wear more sheer clothing with details this season.

Halle Bailey in Gucci

Our little mermaid Halle Bailey was breathtaking in Gucci. Every time she is on a carpet we’re instantly asking ourselves how she does it (seriously, can we get a behind the scenes on how her locs are tucked away?). With her red hair and sea-green ruffled cape and lace gown, she truly embodied Ariel. 

Keke Palmer in Sergio Hudson

Baby, it’s Keke Palmer!! Palmer was one of the few celebs to wear a Black designer on the carpet. Her look reminded us of old Hollywood glamor in the 70s. We love that designer Sergio Hudson let the tweed gown speak for itself without over accessorizing, opting instead for simple, dangling earrings. The only thing that was missing was our girl hosting the carpet. We missed Keke’s energy and needed more of it throughout the night.

Janelle Monae in Thom Browne

One thing we can always count on is Janelle Monae owning the red carpet. Yesterday was no different. Monae, who has worn Thom Browne numerous times in the past, elevated her look this year  by stripping it down. She literally shed layers as she arrived on the carpet. ”From the big reveal tux to now, this is my evolution, I wanted to honor who I am now and what I’ve done,” Monae told us on the carpet, as she lifted her skirt to show her toned body.

Rihanna in Maison Valentino

Two things we can always count on when it comes to Rihanna: she’s always very intentional when it comes to her fashion and that she will be late (but it will be worth the wait). We waited an hour and a half for the Met gala queen herself to grace us with her presence. After leaving her hotel in a fur coat, Rihanna did a switcheroo into an off white Maison Valentino gown. Her cape’s detail emphasized the iconic Chanel camellia flower and she paired the gown with lashes on top of her sunglasses (yes, you read that right). Her overall look paid tribute to the modernized and classic details of Lagerfeld’s designs at Chanel.

Michaela Coel in Schiaparelli

Michaela Coel stunned the carpet in a sheer Schiaparelli gown beaded from head to toe. The crystals and pearls were exactly what we were looking for most on the carpet; Lagerfeld was known for layering chunky accessories. On the live stream with Lala Anthony, Coel said, “I’d been wondering why I was asked to be co-chair … and Anna [Wintour] said, ‘What I like about you is that you’re unafraid to be yourself.’” Coel is definitely that girl!
