I Resisted Dad Sneakers For 1 Year, but This $100 Pair Changed My Mind

Even though I'm always in tune with the latest trends, I'm the kind of girl who tends to admire them from afar. I almost always stick to my uniform of jeans, sweater, and white sneakers. For a trend to really jump out and grab my attention (or credit card), I need to be totally sold. When the whole dad sneaker wave came a little over a year ago, I got it, I respected it, but I wasn't into it for myself. Every time I saw my favorite blogger or Scandinavian street style star wearing them, I thought, "You're so cool, you can pull it off," but imagined myself looking like a clown in the clunky shoes. As time went on, more and more brands and retailers released their own versions of the shoe. Every time I saw one, it slowly started to make me think maybe I should try it.

Eventually, the pair that convinced me finally arrived: the Nike M2K Tekno Sneakers ($100). To be fair, these are a little more "dad" than other choices on the market, but I was officially committed. Maybe it's because subconsciously they remind me the ones my dad wore when I was young - and, come to think of it, still wears to this day. I could finally match with him and I was ready to buy some.

I get so many compliments from my friends, and people constantly ask me where I bought them.

As I started hunting for the ones I wanted, I was shocked at how many color choices they came in. From silver to neon and plain white it was hard to choose. I eventually settled on this all-white pair with a touch of yellow, because I never wear colors, and why not completely go for it, right?!

I wear them with jeans, dresses, and just leggings on the weekends. The price is just right, and they're beyond comfortable. I get so many compliments from my friends, and people constantly ask me where I bought them. If you're ready to commit or already need more pairs, keep reading to shop this shoe's best colorways. Don't drag your feet - sizes sell fast in special color combos. Take a 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...
