Fringed details are, arguably, the biggest trend to know for summer 2026. From wrap-around 70s style fringed belts, to luxe jackets and dresses, this single detail quickly makes any outfit feel instantly cool. But there’s one specific fringed accessory that every single cool girl is coveting right now: the long tassel necklace. Characterised by a black string-like cord and a stone centre pendant which sits above a matching black (or ivory) tassel, this single item does some serious heavy lifting in your warm weather wardrobes – here’s how to style it, and the best ones to shop.

Just like Orlaith Melia, I’ve also gone for the affordable H&M tassel necklace, which has already had plenty of wear in my wardrobe.
