Lampshading: The New Celeb Style Trend You Need to Know About

Every now and then, a style trend comes around that’s equal parts funny and stylish—it’s a rare occurrence, but when it does happen, we squeal with delight. Such is the case with what PopSugar has dubbed “lampshading.”

Simply put, lampshading is wearing a pair of over-the-knee boots with a broad hemline that hits above or right at the top of the shoes. The Kardashian-Jenner ladies are the most frequent committers of this new trend, pairing their tall boots with sweatshirt dresses and oversize sweaters. But Kate Moss is also a fan, and the trend technically first appeared on the F/W 15 runways, when French brand Vetements sent a runway down the catwalk in the look.
