Fringed means having a fringe—a decorative border of hanging threads, tassels, or strips: a fringed leather jacket, fringed curtains.

It extends to anything with a similar edging: fringed petals, eyes fringed with dark lashes.

The word can also mean bordered or surrounded: a lake fringed with willows.
