Wearable fall fashion trend #4 is opaque legwear. Opaque tights not only keep us warm on cool fall days, but they also can be used to create a longer leg line for petites, who usually have short legs. Wear opaque tights that are the same color as your shoes and skirt, and you'll look as though your legs are longer. Choose a dark color, and you'll look thinner too because dark colors recede.
