When you see a styling trick on the runway twice, you wonder, "Is this a trend?" But when you see it for a third time on the street — employed by Olivia Palermo, no less — you can be sure it's happening.

We're talking about skirt-and-boot proportions, guys. So listen up. First spotted at Gucci and Dior Spring '15, midi skirts overlapped knee-high boots, revealing not an inch of skin. But both 10 Crosby Derek Lam and Frame Denim followed suit for Fall, proving that this is one little hack with a lot of staying power.

It's a chic move that channels the '70s in all the right ways, and it's also an easy stint to pull off — just ask Olivia. Keep scrolling for four simple ways to experiment with your hemline and your boot height, then go out and become fashion's next It girl. Source: Getty
