For too long, zippers have been hidden amidst layers of fabric, disguised in neutral colors - the point being, you don’t see them. But not so this Fall; finally, zippers are having their moment!
And, really, we couldn’t be more ecstatic - nothing toughens up a tight dress like a metal zipper ripping through the middle, like this sweet Vena Cava. And à la Wang, a prominent zipper on a pair of pants adds interest and street cred (bonus points if they’re leather). Of course, zippers on jackets are nothing new but what is, is their unabashed silver teeth (as opposed to discreet black), their extra length, and prominence.
And hey, it’s easier than buttons.

I was just noticing the exposed zipper trend yesterday!
I've actually started wearing some of my dresses backwards when I can get away with it haha
