What's With All the Fringe? How to Wear the Fall 2026 Fringe Trend to Every Holiday Party
Fringe swept the Fall 2026 runways, and chunky statement belts are the accessory of the season. Put the two together and you get the easiest party trick of the year: something that moves every time you do. Here's how to wear fringe from Thanksgiving dinner to the last holiday party of December, without looking like you came from a rodeo.
The quick answer
- The one piece to buy: the FRINGE Belt ($50), slung low over a black dress like the LOXA Maxi Dress ($65).
- For holiday party drama: the SHIMMY Gloves ($65), opera-length with a long fall of fringe down the arm.
- To go all in: the CABARET Dress ($226), sheer crystal mesh crowned in feathery fringe.
- Under $25: the GRID Belt ($20) or the STARLET Belt in silver ($25).

Is fringe in style for fall and winter 2026?
Yes. Fringe showed up across the Fall 2026 runways, and it reads especially well at holiday parties because it moves. The easiest way in is one piece, like the FRINGE Belt ($50).
How do you wear a fringe belt?
Sling it low on the hips over a slip dress, wide-leg trousers or a black maxi like the LOXA Maxi Dress ($65), and keep the rest of the outfit plain. The FRINGE Belt comes in S, M and L for 29 to 33 inch waists.
Can you wear fringe to Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving?
Yes, keep it to one fringe piece so it looks intentional. Try the FRINGE Belt ($50) over a knit or printed dress like the ILLUSION Newspaper Dress ($75), or a CHERIE Choker ($45) with tassel drops.
What should I wear to a holiday party to stand out?
Pick one piece that moves. The SHIMMY Gloves ($65) transform a little black dress, and the CABARET Dress ($226) is the full-fringe, full-sparkle option.
What's a good statement belt under $30?
The GRID Belt ($20) is a wide metal corset belt in gold or silver, and the STARLET Belt ($25) is a silver star chain that sits low on the hips.
