Spring's Biggest Trend Is So Easy to Wear (and Available For Under $50)

The utilitarian trend continuously bubbles up year after year, assuming a slightly altered guise each season. For Spring, labels from Zimmermann to Givenchy and Fendi unanimously declared purposeful pieces with polish as the 2019 update du jour with tailored boiler suits, buckled jackets, multipocketed pants, and fastened skirts as seasonal heroes. A more buttoned-up take on utility, if you will.

Since we usually reach for sensible wares for their inherent ease - particularly when we're hurriedly dressing in five minutes or less - this new-season take on utility can be a bit confusing . . . honestly, how does one style a waist-cinching trouser and cropped army jacket without looking like a (rather fashionable) army recruit? Are we supposed to be wearing cargo pants with heels? Is a boiler suit ever office appropriate?

That's where last month's street style set comes in: functional-chic looks abounded on the scene, from casual-cool outfits you'd wear on the weekends to smart sets made for commanding a meeting at work. But we're not just delivering a bounty of outfit inspo to guide you through this Spring trend. We're leveling up and spotlighting eight utilitarian pieces from the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection, so you can shop the must-try trend for $50 or less whether you've got your sights set on a multipurpose anorak, wear-everywhere cropped pants, or a one-and-done jumpsuit in army green.

If you weren't into utility before, we bet we got your attention now. Inspiration and affordable picks ahead.

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...
