Fringe jackets are having a big moment, and they are easier to wear than they look. The swinging trim adds movement and personality, turning jeans and a white tee into a real outfit. Tan and chocolate suede are the classic choices, warm and rich against denim, cream knits and black trousers. Lighter shades like cream and taupe feel softer and pair beautifully with ivory jeans or a long skirt. Denim fringe jackets are a more casual take for weekends. Longer coats with fringe at the hem feel dramatic and grown up, while cropped jackets suit high waisted jeans and skirts. Vintage finds bring a worn in charm that new styles cannot copy. The key is letting the jacket be the hero, so keep everything else simple. A fringe jacket can carry an outfit from early fall right through to mild winter days.

Keep the rest of the outfit quiet. Pair a suede fringe jacket with straight or wide leg jeans, a plain tee or a fine knit, and a simple boot or loafer. A slip skirt and knee high boots give the look a softer, bohemian feel. Avoid too many other western details at once. Brush suede gently after wear, and protect it with a spray before rainy weather. Let the fringe hang freely rather than layering a scarf over it.
