Sequin Fringe Dresses, Skirts and Fringe Trousers: The 16Arlington Fringe Edit

Fringe is the detail of 16Arlington’s Autumn/Winter 2026 collection. The house uses it three ways: as a whole fabric of navy and black sequin fringe for a dress, a skirt and a top; as a trim of hand-pulled fringe on tailoring, coats and jersey; and as handmade beaded fringing on silk and crepe. If you are looking for a sequin fringe dress, a sequin fringe skirt and fringe trousers that are built rather than glued, this is where the house is strongest. Here is every fringed piece at Coveti.

The sequin fringe dress, skirt and top

The house’s own fabric for the season is rows of sequin fringe in navy and black, set on a semi-sheer base. It reads almost black from across a room and shows the navy as it moves, and because every row is loose at the bottom, it swings with each step.

1. Roia Mini Dress in Black and Navy

The sequin fringe dress: a fully embellished mini with an internal corset, a one-shoulder neckline and a hem of handmade black beaded fringing. The piece built for a dance floor.

2. Dia Midi Skirt in Black and Navy

The sequin fringe skirt, falling to the ankle with a beaded trim at the hem. The semi-sheer ground gives the fringe depth.

3. Auro Top in Black and Navy

The matching top, with a draped scarf and a high neck, fully covered in the same fringe.

Fringe trousers and fringed tailoring

On the tailoring, the fringe is soft and black and sits along an edge, so it moves without turning the piece into eveningwear.

4. Romano Trouser in Black

Black wool trousers with front pleats and soft black fringe down the outer side seams: the house version of fringe trousers.

5. Jenna Jacket in Black

A collarless black wool jacket fringed at every edge, with crests of elongated sequins at the fastening.

6. Rosalind Coat in Black

The Rosalind coat, whose detachable scarf is trimmed with sequin fringe.

7. Nore Top in Black

A relaxed black satin top with a draped scarf trimmed in soft black fringe.

8. Ofanto Midi Skirt in Black

A fitted black crepe skirt with an asymmetric hem and a long tie trimmed with sequin fringe.

9. Jori Top in Black

A slim black jersey top with a high neckline trimmed in delicate fringe; also in red.

10. Foyle Gown in Black

A slim black jersey gown with a scarf at the neck trimmed in fringed sequins.

Beaded fringe

11. Melfa Mini Dress in Black

A straight black mini with ballooned sleeves and curved seams trimmed with shimmering handmade beaded fringing.

12. Olall Top in Black

Soft black silk with a zig-zag of handmade beaded fringing across the chest.

13. Fortuna Midi Skirt in Black

Black silk under mesh hand-embroidered with sequins and fringed beaded droplets.

How to wear fringe

Fringe is movement, so give it room. A sequin fringe dress wants bare legs and a slim sandal, nothing that competes at the hem. The fringe trousers work best with a fitted top tucked in so the side seams run uninterrupted from waist to floor, and the Teodora wool tee is the easy partner. With the Dia skirt, keep the top plain and close to the body. Never wear two fringed pieces together unless they are the matching Auro and Dia, which are designed as one look; the co-ords guide covers that set.

Which fringe piece to buy first

For a party, the Roia sequin fringe dress is the strongest single piece in the collection. For something to wear more often, the Romano fringe trousers go to dinners, work events and the theatre, and the Jenna jacket turns a plain dress into an outfit. The Melfa is the beaded alternative to a little black dress.

Care

Every fringed piece is dry clean only. Store sequin fringe flat with tissue between the rows so the strands do not tangle, and hang the fringed tailoring with space around it. Before you sit, smooth the fringe down behind you.

Frequently asked questions

Does 16Arlington make a sequin fringe dress?

Yes. The Roia is a one-shoulder mini fully covered in rows of navy and black sequin fringe, with an internal corset and a beaded fringe hem. The same fabric makes the Dia skirt and the Auro top.

What are 16Arlington fringe trousers like?

The Romano is black wool tailoring with front pleats and soft black fringe running down the outer side seams. It is made in the United Kingdom.

Is a sequin fringe skirt hard to wear?

Less than it looks. Keep the top plain and fitted, choose a slim sandal, and let the fringe move. The 16Arlington Dia falls to the ankle, so it reads as eveningwear.

How do you care for sequin fringe?

Dry clean only. Store it flat with tissue between the rows so the strands do not tangle, and smooth the fringe down behind you before you sit.

Was fringe part of the 16Arlington AW26 runway?

Yes. Hand-pulled fringe and bugle-bead embroidery were among the named materials of the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, shown in London in February 2026.
