Rihanna [1] arrived for her appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers [2] in a hunter green Dior jumpsuit splashed in plaid. While that's usually a print we associate with Winter, let me remind you that it's June. The Fall 2019 design came right off the French fashion house's recent runway [3] where checks were everywhere, in shades of black and red, too. But just like wearing white any time of the year is acceptable, your taste in patterns should be season-less as well, and instead just based on your mood.
Plus, Rihanna dressed up the design appropriately, opting for patent-leather sandals, a croc-effect Azzedine Alaïa bag, and plenty of chunky David Webb jewelry (PS: those chain-link chokers are back, and Emily Ratajkowski [4] and Kim Kardashian [5] seem to agree). Also, she styled the piece without a shirt underneath, whereas the runway model toughened up the look with a crisp button-down, thick belt, and Mary-Janes. I know florals for Spring is hardly groundbreaking, but Rih just proved that tartan in the Summer can be. Thanks to her badass outfit [6], I'm shopping for jumpsuits just like Rihanna's. Sure, I'll wear it in the Fall, but you bet your booty I'll start wearing it now, too.
