2019's Biggest Sneaker Trend Is Probably Already in Your Grandpa's Closet

Funny story: I was in my comfiest sweats and the shoes I lovingly call my "grandpa sneakers" - a pair of gray New Balances I pretty much wear all the time nowadays - weaving my luggage through the TSA line when I eyed a pair of the same cool kicks. When I looked up to see who was wearing them, I realized it was actually an adorable elderly couple. It only further cemented the name in my mind. Rather than chunky soles and bold colorways you would regularly see with dad sneakers, I've been noticing street style stars and bloggers opt for neutral tones and a more classic trainer silhouette like New Balance's 990 kicks.

I instantly fell in love with these sleek sneakers because of the retro '80s feel and great arch support (The first time I wore them, it was like my feet were thanking me - I swear I could hear a choir of sneaker-loving angels singing in perfect harmony.)

I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
