From TikTok fashion hauls to high fashion runways, fringe dresses are twirling into the spotlight. One from M&S has caught our eye, which is perf for making a statement this summer. Think: swishy and flirty. Fringe is having a full-on revival right now, and it's low-key giving us festival vibes. Just imagine the Golden Hour pics.
Let’s unpack the dress we're all suddenly obsessed with: the M&S Fringe Detail Midi Column Dress. It's totally summer-worthy, inclusive (available in petite, regular, and tall styles to fit all our different body types), and surprisingly affordable at under £50. It's a rare find that looks designer but doesn't break the bank. Everyone will be asking where you got it.

Whether you're dressing up for a rooftop party or walking into a beach sunset, the fringe dress brings flair to every moment. (Just add wind)
We are living for the sleek midi silhouette - it's tailored and totally wearable. It's a subtle fringe (not flapper-ish) but adds the right amount of drama without trying too hard. M&S has quietly become our dupe saviour, delivering luxe-looking styles for way less. Designer vibes, affordable price tag. Winner.
If you've been waiting for a sign to step outside your comfort zone and try something a little extra, this could be it. The M&S Fringe Midi Dress is proof that you just need a little swish to stand out from the crowd.
Not only is it a crowd-stopper, but it's undeniably ultra-flattering. The way the fringe sways adds movement to your silhouette, and there are plenty of styling options. Style it down with trainers or dress it up with metallic heels for the perfect holiday evening fit or party look. It was made for you.
M&S is no longer frumpy, but chic, providing well-made wardrobe staples that are actually good.
But don't just take our word for it - fringe is having a moment among TV stars, too.
Even Dubliner influencer turned Love Island bombshell, Billykiss Azeez, strutted back into the villa in a Fringe Dress from Khanum's during the Series 12 finale. It's stayed in our heads rent-free ever since:

It feels nostalgic, but doesn't feel dated. If anything, it's giving Main Character Energy™. And, it's destined to slay the IG game. Fringe is all about motion, so get ready to twirl, strut, or let it catch the light.
