Does This Micro-Trend Make Your Jaw Drop, or Are You Normal?

If you're as obsessed with TikTok as I am, the title of this story makes complete sense to you. For those of you who aren't as addicted to the app, I'm basically putting myself in a box by admitting that already knowing about this very niche micro-trend would, in fact, make you not normal and a little too addicted to fashion—like myself. The good news is, however, that I am here today to educate you on the new fall fashion trend that has had me beside myself ever since I discovered it. I'm calling this trend "negative space" because it looks as if there is a missing piece to a puzzle or a large chunk cut out of the garments, resulting in a sort of negative-space effect. 

This trend is really all in the detail. This puzzle-like feature is mostly spotted on the necklines of everything from knitwear to dresses and has mainly surfaced in black hues. As I said, this trend is niche. Designers such as Mugler, Khaite, and Saint Laurent have some of the most recognizable pieces so far, but I've been excited to spot smaller contemporary brands such as Recto and God Save Queens coming out with iterations that are just as strong. 

Ahead, you will get to see this new fall trend in action on Instagram, on the runway, and in the market. From fancy party dresses to functional knitwear, this "negative space" trend is something to keep an eye out for as we press on into fall. Oh, and good luck keeping your jaw from dropping—this trend is truly stunning. You'll see. 

Although there have been significantly fewer reasons to get dressed up this year, fashion girls are still finding every opportunity to show off this "negative space" trend on Instagram. Be it a vacation picture or an at-home mirror selfie, it is clear via the abundance of content that this unique detail is officially on the rise. 

This trend was birthed on the fall/winter 2020 runways thanks to designers such as LaQuan Smith, Mugler, Victoria Beckham, and more. The puzzle-like detail was hard to miss when combing through some of this season's biggest trends, and we're excited to see it finally come to life on social media and in the market.

The "negative space" trend has taken on many forms so far in the market from dresses to knitwear. Whether you're shopping for a fancy dress or a sweater that will make your fall wardrobe feel fresh, this new micro-trend is a great place to start your search, whatever it may be.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
