Street Style Trend Report: Fringe Skirts

Street style is our main source of inspiration for the season's best trends and is often where we look to spot them in the first place, as soon as they emerge. Whether it be testing out belt bags or refreshing our go-to outfits with high-waisted jeans, the street style set is always ready with a fresh dose of inspiration for us. The next trend we're focusing on? Fringe skirts.

Though we feasted our eyes on the fringe skirt long before this season, there's been a noticeable uptick on the street style circuit, with fresh iterations that feel brand-new. Whether worn casually with a lived-in T-shirt or elevated via a crisp, white button-down, the piece makes a daring statement, yet it's subtle at the same time, making it the perfect elevated essential. All of this, of course, means we should all own one (and know how to wear it). 

Get inspired to try the trend—see how some of our favorite street style stars style the piece below, and then continue to shop our picks of the best fringe skirts right now.
