What is 'lampshading'? See the style trend popping up everywhere

"Lampshading" might sound like a home decor project, but it’s actually a style trend we’re seeing everywhere this fall!

Basically, it’s the practice of pairing tight, thigh-high boots with an oversized sweater, shirt or loose dress — creating that lampshade-like silhouette. The volume on top helps tone down the skin-tight sexiness of the boots and lends the whole outfit an easy, cool, I-just-threw-this-together vibe.

And the trend has been lighting up the runways this year (we couldn’t resist!). Model Bella Hadid lampshaded like a pro at Milan Fashion week in February.

While model Hailey Baldwin achieved the silhouette with thigh-high socks and a baggy plaid tunic during London Fashion Week in September.

Some celebrities, like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and pretty much the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan, were early adopters of lampshading, but we’ve seeing plenty of other stars rock the look recently.

Chic mom Chrissy Teigen nailed the trend when she paired thigh-high stiletto boots with a cozy, chunky turtleneck sweater. We'd like to make this our fall uniform, please!

Supermodel Christie Brinkley glowed in above-the-knee boots and a mod-inspired shift dress.

Debra Messing celebrated the trend's '70s roots with this retro ensemble.

Serial lampshader Kim Kardashian took the look to the extreme by pairing sky-high boots with an oversized sweatshirt.

Blake Lively has also mastered the art of lampshading, as seen here.

And earlier this year, style queen Beyonce showed us that it can also make an amazing maternity look.

Lampshading may seem like a daring trend to try, but if you've been working up the nerve to rock some thigh-high boots, there's never been a better time!
