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

"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.
