  • Neutral tones like black, camel and chocolate brown will lend a more polished feel to fringe for Fall.
  • Pair your bag with streamlined layers for a standout accent.


Sometimes when it comes to getting dressed, more is more. More movement, more texture and more personality, that is—all of which can be easily achieved for Fall styling by simply adding a fringe bag to your look. The key to keeping outfits from crossing the line into feeling overly themed is to use that one fringe piece as the standout accent. When you pair a fringe bag with streamlined layers, your favorite jeans, relaxed tailoring or knits, you’ll achieve a look that feels effortless instead of overdone.

Whether you’re crossing campus between classes or wandering about city streets on the weekend, here’s how to style a fringe handbag for Fall.

Keep the rest of your outfit simple.

Your bag will already be making a statement, so pairing it with streamlined layers will create a look that’s instantly pulled together. Try a fringe shoulder bag with straight-leg jeans, a cropped or fitted tee and an oversized jacket.

For fall, neutrals like black, camel and chocolate brown will lend a more polished feel to fringe.

Pair fringe with denim.

For a modern take that doesn’t lean into Western-themed territory, add a fringe bag to relaxed jeans and a structured jacket or sleek blazer.

Fringe bags crafted of suede will keep the look more casual, while a fringe bag in smooth leather will amp up the contrast.

Style a fringe bag with Fall layers.

When wearing multiple layers, be sure to keep your fringe bag somewhere visible rather than hidden beneath your coat—let the movement of the details shine.

Try wearing a fringe bag with a trench coat, white tee and capris when it’s still on the warmer side of Fall, switching to a long wool coat or leather jacket over a sweater and slim jeans as temperatures get cooler.

Elevate fringe with a monochromatic look.

Want to take your fringe bag up a notch? One of the easiest ways to elevate fringe is by wearing your handbag with an outfit in the same color from head to toe.

Think: a black fringe shoulder bag with an all-black look, or a fringe bag in neutral tones paired with layers in chocolate or camel.
