The One Skirt Trend That Matters Right Now

Street style stars made one thing clear at fashion month: Pleated skirts are back. Their presence everywhere from New York to Paris was impossible to miss, and the ways insiders are wearing them are cooler than ever. Styled with everything from flannel shirts and ankle boots to cutout turtlenecks and heels, pleated skirts feel like they have a brand-new lease on life in 2019.

Assistant editor Anna LaPlaca observed the rise of pleated skirts in her latest micro-trend report, noting that the shapes are becoming more prevalent as classic “bourgeois” items re-enter the wardrobes of fashion insiders this fall. While some street style looks have been incorporating traditional versions, we’re also seeing twists on the staple. Details like asymmetrical hems, peplum waists, and belting make them feel more modern than their predecessors.

Ahead, see how fashion’s best dressers are wearing the trend, and shop cool pleated skirts inspired by their looks.

Details like the peplum waist and high slit make this A.W.A.K.E. Mode skirt instantly read as cool. Net-a-Porter's global buying director, Elizabeth von der Goltz, has it styled immaculately.
As we get deeper into the fall months, oversize flannel tops are emerging as a cool trend. Paired with a pleated skirt, it acts as a perfect balancing piece.
Three-piece suits and waistcoats are rising trends that are set to explode in 2020, but why not try wearing one now?
The best way to put together an outfit that looks polished? Stick with a tonal look that incorporates pieces from the same color family.
Crisp white separates are another chic way to pull off pleated skirts—especially when the outfit incorporates on-trend details like a cutout turtleneck.
By adding a turtleneck, blazer, and knee-high boots, you can craft the perfect outfit for cooler temps.
If you gravitate toward voluminous shapes, ground the look with a statement-making belt.
You can also wear an obi-style leather belt for a streamlined look.
Many of the pleated skirt shapes we're seeing now are finished with asymmetrical hems that lend themselves a modern look.
Whether you're wearing ankle boots or knee-high boots, you can't go wrong.

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...
