Ways to Wear It: The Fringe Jacket

At first glance, the fringe jacket is intimidating. Unless your name is Annie Oakley, you might wonder, how can one possibly get away with wearing something so specific, so evocative, so ... fringed?! But a reframing of the Western staple outside of its rustic roots shows that it has extraordinary versatility. Whether dressed with a suit, contrasted with sweatpants, or thrown on for a night out, it’s a staple you can wear like any other leather jacket. Here, three unexpected ways to style it.
Nº 1

SLEEK & CHIC

Suede fringe gets the uptown treatment with a pair of classic black trousers, cream cashmere turtleneck, a petite Polo ID bag, and black suede pointed-toe flats that all read as very Audrey.

BLUE JEAN BABY

Denim is the obvious choice for a suede fringe jacket, evoking bohemian lore. To steer it away from cowgirl country, pair them with a blue oxford, neck scarf, and mary jane ballet flats.
Nº 3

THE RUNAROUND

Perhaps the best way to approach the statement jacket is to treat it as if it were the throw-on outerwear you’d walk your dog in. A grey fleece set with cozy socks and mocs keeps it all laid-back.

Nº 4

AUTUMN FLAIR

On its own, a pair of grey wool trousers, matching cashmere sweater and blue button-up might look staid for fall. But with fringe on top and a pair of red canvas lace-ups, it’s intriguing and witty.

Mix Masters
Monochrome dressing has long dominated the style conversation—which makes it ripe for a well-considered update. For fall, it’s a palette of grey, tan, and navy, interchangeable in separates that touch on different silhouettes, weights, and textures, blending and balancing the wardrobe staples of both town and country. A tailored jacket or a pair of trousers take on a softer look with a suede coat or a pair of boots, while final touches in layered pops of color, standout handbags, and a well-placed belt show off a polished look that’s still rough around the edges in all the best ways.
