How to wear a fringe skirt

Keep the top close to the body. A fitted knit tank, a ribbed long sleeve and a tucked poplin shirt all work, because they let the fringe be the volume. In autumn, wear a knee boot under a maxi fringe skirt; in summer, a flat sandal. For evening, a metallic fringe skirt with a black knit is all you need.

Fringe by occasion

Is fringe still in style?

Fringe has been one of the strongest trends of the past two seasons, and Simon Miller has a dedicated fringe edit on its own site. The difference now is the fabric: knit and vegan leather fringe feel more modern than suede. If you want the look in a dress instead, see our fringe dresses edit.

Care

The brand marks the knit Za Za machine wash cold, do not bleach, tumble dry normal and iron on a low heat. Hang fringe skirts by the waistband so the fringe falls straight, and shake them out before wearing. Vegan leather fringe should be wiped clean.

Knit, leather and metallic fringe compared

Knit fringe is the softest and the easiest to wear. It moves with you, packs flat and washes at home, which makes it the one to take on holiday. Vegan leather fringe is heavier and swings more, so it reads as an autumn piece; it pairs well with knee boots and a fine merino knit. Metallic fringe is for evening only, and it looks best with everything else kept plain and dark. If you are buying one, start with knit in a neutral colour, then add a metallic one for parties.

Sizing

The Za Za is fitted at the hip and true to size, per the brand. As a guide, an S is a UK 8. See our Simon Miller size guide.
