If there’s one runway trend you can rely on blossoming season after season, it’s nipples. They showed up more than 200 times this past fashion month, and while some designers were repeat offenders, boobs were out pretty much across the board. For small-chested models and #freethenipple supporters, this is great news; for the rest of us, well, at least it’s amusing?

Designers may not have you covered, but the Cut does: Click through the slideshow to see our picks for the 75 best instances of this season’s least expensive accessory, featuring Alexander McQueen, Céline, Saint Laurent, and Valentino.
