The latest one to jump on the trend? Karlie Kloss, who was recently seen wearing a grey midi skirt with a chain connected to the top, which looped around her neck like a ‘90s style halter top or necklace. Both the skirt, and the white collared shirt she paired it with were designed by Isa Arpfen. Kloss topped off the look with a neutral colored box bag and a simple pair of black, low heeled booties. She also wore her hair back with a pair of very dark sunglasses.

The best part about Kloss’s look is that it proves you can pull of the chain trend in a more subdued way. The model’s outfit is work appropriate, and a surprising way to approach wearing heavy metals, especially in the colder months when it’s unrealistic to wear a plunging chainmail dress or crop top with chains because of the cooler temps.
Plus, Kloss’ look can easily be recreated without shopping the exact same pieces. Simply choose a body chain—you can find pretty, affordable options at places like Asos and NastyGal for under $25—and layer it over a button-down work shirt. While some of the body chains are a bit more risqué and extreme to the point that they mimic a bra, opt for a daintier, minimal piece to keep the look sleek.
So, there have it, the body chain isn’t just for Coachella anymore.
