Fringe, crochet, tassels and open-work were all over the 2027 runways. How to wear craft textures in everyday outfits without looking like a costume.
By Ayoub Farid · · 2 min read
Craftsmanship was one of the clearest themes of the spring/summer 2027 shows: crochet, open-work blouses, tassels and fringe appeared across several fashion weeks, with Copenhagen highlighting tassels as a defining detail. Here's how to wear them every day.
Crochet
- Easiest piece: a crochet top or vest over a tank.
- Pair with: linen trousers, straight jeans, a slip skirt.
- Shoes: sandals, loafers, ballet flats.
- For men: an open-knit or crochet shirt over a tee.
Open-work and eyelet
Broderie anglaise and open-work blouses are softer and office-friendly. Wear with tailored trousers or a midi skirt.
Fringe
- Start small: a fringe bag, fringed scarf or fringe-hem skirt.
- Statement: a fringe skirt or jacket with plain basics.
- Balance: keep the top or bottom simple.
Tassels
On bags, belts, scarves and hems. An easy accessory-level way into the trend.
Outfit ideas
- Crochet vest + white tee + straight jeans + loafers
- Fringe skirt + black bodysuit + boots
- Eyelet blouse + navy trousers + flats (office)
- Crochet top + linen trousers + sandals (summer)
- Open-knit shirt + tee + chinos (men)
- Fringe bag + all-white outfit
Avoiding "costume"
- One craft piece per outfit.
- Modern basics around it (clean denim, sleek shoes).
- Neutral colors for the statement piece.
Caring for crochet and fringe
Crochet stretches when wet, so hand-wash in cool water, press the water out in a towel and dry flat. Don't hang crochet tops. Fringe tangles in the wash; turn the garment inside out, use a mesh bag or hand-wash, and comb the fringe gently with your fingers once dry.
Seasonal styling
- Spring/summer: crochet tops with linen, fringe bags with all-white outfits.
- Fall: a suede fringe jacket with jeans and boots, a crochet vest over a long-sleeve tee.
- Winter: chunky open-knit sweaters layered over turtlenecks.
Budget-friendly ways in
Crochet and fringe are easy to find secondhand, especially vintage bags, vests and suede jackets. A fringed scarf or tasseled bag lets you try the trend for little money before committing to a statement skirt or jacket.
