The Shoes I've Worn to Work Every Day for a Decade

The votes have been counted, and the decision is unanimous: The very best and most comfortable shoes to wear to work are favored by every single person in our office. Maybe you wear them too. Maybe you’ve been searching for this holy-grail option your entire life. Maybe we’re here to offer you the nicest versions for your workwear wardrobe in 2018. Maybe? Possibly? Definitely.

My comfy Uterqüe sandals are the perfect midi-heel option for the summer.

Our in-depth research (i.e., asking the team) concluded that a midi block heel is best (a little elevation without the wobble of a kitten heel), especially when rendered in suede (softest on your feet) and with some sort of ankle or Mary Jane strap (to keep your feet cozy and in place) creates the triumvirate of a successful work shoe.

It will come as no surprise that there has been a rise in this “day heel” in the retail sector: They first started to filter into the mainstream when Celine introduced glove pumps, Valentino debuted the Tango (I bought a pair in red), and cult footwear brands like Maryam Nassir Zadeh (yep, bought me some red suede sandals) and Martiniano picked up industry approval. Such was the sell-through rate that designers and brands finally started to offer more within this once-overlooked realm.

I always look to e-commerce site Lisa Says Gah for cool midis.

I can recall spending the first few years of my fashion career desperately seeking them to no avail—my early days were when fierce heels ruled and nothing was complete without a platform. As soon as more became available, I bought them in bulk and continue to do so, often finding a style that suits and is comfortable and then snapping them up in different colorways.

Dream big—your work wardrobe deserves that attitude.
Perfect for summer.
The subtle blue here is really doing it for us.
This mustard color really elevates a shoe.
These are spectacular quality.
A pop of red is always lovely.
This pair would look great with jeans.
These will go with everything you own.
You can just tell these are going to be comfortable.
A classic silhouette made modern.
That summer sandal that you just want to wear every day.
On-trend yet still functional.
A minimalist's dream.
No need to wonder what color jewelry to wear with these.
A love-forever pair you’ll wear so much.

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...
