Tassels are experiencing a prominent summer resurgence, and designers, from Kallmeyer to Dries Van Noten, are welcoming the playful detail everywhere from statement earrings to embellished clutches to woven accessories. Seen across the collections at Loewe, Chloé, and Bottega Veneta, tassels bring movement, texture, and a touch of resort-inspired glamour to warm-weather dressing. Whether paired with a breezy linen dress, tailored separates, or simple denim, the trend is an effortless way to add a little summer drama.
Vogue’s Summer Guide to Styling Tassels
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, tassels were generally used as garnishing accents in the home, representing opulence and culture. Nowadays, these playful, fringed embellishments have found a new place in the wardrobes of the most fashionable. Probably the most notable is the trickle-down craze stemming from Le Sundial’s offerings of sumptuous accessories, from the sought-after Venetian earrings to the cord belt. When it comes to everyday preciousness, opt for Ayllón’s day-to-night pouch, perfectly paired with voluminous dresses and poppy kitten heels. Then, try your hand at the tassel necklace with Róhe’s red shift dress, The Row’s flip-flops, and Deux Amis’s cord necklace, complete with a textural pendant dangling at the end.
