Every Dress and Skirt Will Look Cooler With This Anti-Boring Fall Accessory Trend
Add some whimsy to your basic look.

I’m not much of a dress or skirt wearer to begin with, but this year, I’ve worn them more than ever. I’m all for simple outfits, but lately, I’ve been looking for ways to make wearing a skirt or dress more interesting. That is, until I saw what Lily-Rose Depp just wore to the Chanel S/S 26 runway show, which was a skirt set with an unexpected, anti-boring fall accessory trend: patterned tights.
Her outfit was the perfect balance of whimsical and chic. She styled her navy Chanel suit with diamond-print black-and-white tights, a pair of black pumps, and a small baby-blue shoulder bag. The tights were the star of her outfit, and it was such an interesting way to make them the focal point. We saw this styling trick several times on the F/W 25 runways of Valentino, ACNE Studios, Isabel Marant, and more. The models wore patterned tights, adding an eclectic twist to the high-fashion outfits. After seeing this look, I’m definitely wearing patterned tights with my dresses and skirts this fall and winter. I’m over being boring, and you’re never too old to wear a fun outfit.
