“Obsessed” Doesn’t Even Begin to Describe My Feelings About This $51 Boilersuit

For the most part, my style is really simple - I oscillate between feminine and tailored, opting for midi skirts and dresses on most occasions (work, weddings, airplanes . . . JK, on a flight, catch me in head-to-toe sweats) or jeans with a great button-down shirt or blazer. I don't experiment with trends too often, and when I do, it's in the form of baby steps. Once in a while, though, I'm tempted by an ubertrendy piece, and lately, that piece is a boilersuit.

Now I know what you must be asking yourself: "What the heck is a boilersuit?" Well, it's a onesie of sorts that's basically a jumpsuit, but more utilitarian. Think coveralls, but with a fashionable twist.

I've spotted these one-piece wonders on some of my favorite street style stars over the past couple of seasons at fashion week and noticed them popping up in more Spring collections than I could count - after all, utility is one of this season's biggest trends.

Since I've learned that trendier buys usually end up in my donate pile in a matter of weeks, I knew I wanted to take on the boilersuit look via an affordable version. And that's where the POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's comes in. While previewing the April drop, I quickly realized it contained not one, but two boilersuits in the exact silhouette I've been wanting to try: cropped, with long sleeves, and in a lightweight fabric conducive to warmer weather. The fact that both styles are currently on sale for $51 was the icing on the cake, which meant my foray into the boilersuit world was a go.

Ahead, see how I styled the boilersuit three different ways, and if you're inspired, shop my exact looks head to toe. Spoiler alert: I'm officially sold on the trend.

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...
