I Copied Leonardo DiCaprio's Iconic Hawaiian Shirt From the '90s, and I Can't Stop Wearing It

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm a fan of Hawaiian shirts. If you would've asked me if I would be willing to wear one out in public a year ago, I'd probably laugh in your face with a big "HA!" While the trend often gets a rep for being a "dad trend", my father was actually never the type to wear tropical-print shirts. Nine times out of 10, you could find him in his favorite worn-in polo shirt with shorts. ICYMI: the trend has clearly been making its way back into our hearts, thanks to Stranger Things's Jim Hopper who had a pretty amazing Hawaiian shirt collection during the show's third season. My earliest memory of the trend is actually Leonardo DiCaprio's technicolor Hawaiian shirt in Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo + Juliet, and it's forever ingrained in my mind.

During my search for the perfect Hawaiian shirt, I came across one from Urban Outfitters that looked almost identical to the one Leo wore in the film. If that wasn't a sign to give it a try, I don't know what is. If you're wondering how to pull the look off without looking too cliché, I've got you covered. Ahead you can find two simple ways of giving the Hawaiian shirt trend a try if you're a newbie like myself. From tucking the side of the shirt into high-waisted jeans to tying it in a knot in the front and wearing it over a slip dress, I found myself feeling pretty comfortable in these wild shirts. Sure, the print on the Leo-inspired shirt was a little bold for my taste, but styling it with key pieces that I wear on the daily made the trend feel a lot more wearable. I even shocked myself and wore it again with shorts and Birkenstocks the following weekend. Keep reading to see the looks and shop some of my favorite selections, ranging from a rad UO shirt that rings in at $69 to an ultra-luxe take on the trend from Prada.

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...
