I HATE Pants in the Summer, but This $25 Pair Just Changed My Tune

I'm not a pants person. While I love and own an assortment of bottoms, from rigid jeans to kicky culottes and tailored trousers, they require so much more effort than my midi dresses and skirts. With fuller thighs and muscular calves, I struggle to find fits that are both comfortable and flattering, but I keep trying (though when a pants mood strikes, the process is generally a frustrating 15 or so minutes of me trying on options before I give up and default to a dress or skirt). While this is a year-round dilemma, the Summer is even harder for me - once heat is a factor, pants feel like a suffocating straitjacket for my legs, which is why I abandon them altogether to avoid such discomfort. Who can relate?

Well, my anti-pants stance is officially over! This girl has found herself a comfortable, breathable, and affordable pair of pants that are universally flattering and versatile to boot: the POPSUGAR Wide-Leg Paper Bag Pants ($25, originally $50). In a maritime-blue hue, this high-waist silhouette feels as pleasant as a glass of Rosé on a balcony overlooking Lake Como (OK, not the most relatable comparison, but you get my drift, yes? They're really delightful!).

Featuring a cropped silhouette and roomy wide leg, the pants have a fun and swingy fit to them but with a still-tailored look that's perfect for the office (though they can easily be dressed down with tees and tanks on the weekend). And cut from a cotton blend fabric that feels like linen, they're super breathable, which means I won't be on the verge of spontaneous combustion when the weather soars over 80 degrees. Add in the fact that they come with a cute self-tie belt that cinches in at the waist, and, well, I'm pretty much wondering if I dare consider myself a pants person at this point.

Ahead, see how I styled these comfortable pants for a day at the office (which perfectly transitioned to drinks after hours). Then, shop my entire look, including the $25 style, which, I guarantee, will sell out fast. So jump on it!

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...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
