This 2-Second Style Hack Will Make Your Blazer Infinitely More Flattering

Blazers can often feel like a trip to snoozesville. You know the kind: single-breasted, usually black, navy, or gray, kind of blah (you're getting very sleepy. . .). Though classic and "essential" for work, these versions very easily feel stale after a few too many wears, but what other option is there when a denim jacket or utility anorak doesn't work, at work?

There are also the types of blazers that are having a "moment" (fashion speak for items you've scrolled past a million times on Instagram): big n' boxy fits (which aren't always flattering), super-sized shoulders (which is a bit, uh, bold), and perplexingly sexy cuts (did you know cutout blazers are a thing?!). Not exactly standard for the office and generally the kind of garment that causes quizzical stares when passing through the cubical rows.

Breathing new life into a blazer is hard! But there's a two-second style hack you can try that's not only refreshing, but flattering, too. Are you awake yet? Maybe take a sip a coffee. OK: belting your blazer. Woo-eee! You're jolted.

While you probably reach for a belt to hoist up pants or cinch a flowing dress, it's a genius move to fasten one over your blazer to give it a new look whether you prefer a skinny shape, unique buckle, or textured print. Sure, it's an extra step in the getting ready process, but a belt will add interest to any blazer-centric outfit that feels like it's missing something and enhance your figure at once (because, no, it's not enough to simply button your blazer closed and call it a day).

If you're feeling uncertain about the whole belt-over-a-blazer thing, check out 19 ultra-stylish and easy-to-re-create outfits ahead. You'll quickly realize how simple the concept is and (hopefully) become convinced to try it for yourself. Oh, and one more thing: if you're not stocked on blazers and belts, we put together an edit of under-$50 blazers to shop from the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection with stylish belts to complement them.

To quote Ciara, "Let me see you one, two step" your next blazer look.

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...
