Leg Work

Just when I think I couldn’t love accessories any more than I already do, I go and discover yet another reason why accents really pull everything together and make any outfit just a bit more special. Current obsession: patterned or embellished tights! Aside from being rather practical (I was all about the bare leg trend until tights became trendy and I realized they do tend to keep you warm), I love the way embellished tights add that dramatic element to a look. Case in point the outfit I’m wearing in today’s post. Though always a fan of head-to-toe black, this particular look requires a special touch or two in order to make it a bit more chic. Normally, I opt for metallic accents (something that I’ve done in today’s post as well), yet I believe it is the pearl embellished tights that really help take it to the next level.

Though embellished leg wear looks really great for cocktail hour (chic with a little black dresses yet equally stunning with slinky jewel-toned numbers), patterned tights can work rather well for day as well. Personally, I like to pair them with slouchy coats (like this one) or oversized cardigans (LOVE this number on SALE now) and mini dresses or skirts and casual boots. What about you guys, how do you guys feel about embellished leg wear?

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. 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...
