Fringe fashion revival: From Alia Bhatt to Sonam Kapoor, top Bollywood celebrity-inspired looks to rock the style trend
Fringe is undergoing a high-fashion revival for the spring-summer season of 2024. Here are some tips inspired by Bollywood celebs to rock this revived trend.
Fringe fever is back - but did it ever really go away? We're not talking about cropped bangs but the irresistible charm of fringed clothing and accessories. With their cowboy-inspired trims, these pieces have a timeless appeal that flows and swings effortlessly in the breeze, making them a fashion favourite. In the 90s, fringe saved fashion; now, it seems the time has come for fringe to save the summer of 2024. To style fringe, balance is key: pair a fringed statement piece, such as a jacket or skirt, with simpler, streamlined items to avoid overwhelming your look. Whether you go all out or keep it minimal, fringe adds a dynamic, playful touch to any outfit, making it a must-have for your spring-summer wardrobe.

"As a designer, I find fringe to be multifaceted. It can be worn as an accessory or a whole outfit. Aishwarya Rai's Cannes look adorned in a silver and green dress by Falguni Shane Peacock is a recent example. I personally admire her work and was astonished by her presentation of fringe in such a modern yet ethnic way. In my opinion, you can embrace fringe in a bold or subtle way. This trend is all about adding movement and fun to your style. Fringe is versatile and can be adapted to suit various personal styles, making it a must-have for your SS 2024 wardrobe. You should experiment with this trend; keep it minimalist or go all out with textures—it's your choice. Embrace it, style it, wear it," says Bhavna Sharma, fashion expert and co-founder of Kiaayo.
