12 Pieces My Boyfriend and I Actually Agree On

Let me preface this story by saying my boyfriend has great style—don't get me wrong. But as with any relationship, we have opposing views on certain issues, especially in the trend department. There have been many instances where I walk in jazzed about an outfit and his reaction is, well, less than enthused. I've learned from trial and error that he's not a fan of the neon trend, can't stand dad sneakers, and don't even get him started on bike shorts. I guess relationships are about compromise, right?

There are a few 2019 trends he and I are in complete agreement on though, so I thought it could be fun to share the pieces my boyfriend Shane and I are both into right now. Even though I dress for myself, sometimes you just want to feel like your fashion efforts are appreciated, amirite? From nouveau knitwear to knee-high boots, the below four trends have been given the official green light by both of us.

While truthfully we're both into blazers of all kinds, we agree that a belted blazer feels more current. They give off a cool vibe while also showing off your waist with the cinched belt. Shane also gave belted blazer dresses a thumbs-up, which I happen to be super into right now as well.

An updated twist on the classic black blazer. 
How cool is this color combo?
Between the neckline and belt, I can't decide what I like most. 

While a leather jacket will always be in style, this season is about all leather everything—from shirts to pants to trench coats. Shane agrees that adding a leather separate to any look immediately makes it feel cooler and more elevated. He's partial to leather pants and coats, while I'm itching to add a luxe leather shirt to my closet. 

Possibly the coolest trench coat ever made.
The perfect leather dress does exist.
The stud details on this skirt give it a little something extra.

I jumped on the knee-high-boot trend a while ago, so I already knew Shane was on board given the compliments I've received. What I wasn't expecting, though, was that he was into the straight-leg jeans tucked into knee-high boots outfits I've been seeing everywhere lately. I'm a huge fan as I feel it looks effortlessly cool, but I assumed he would give a hard pass to this trend. To my surprise, he said it reminds him of the '90s in a refreshing way.

Dream-boot alert!
Talk about a boot that goes with everything.
These come in three different calf width sizes so you can tailor them perfectly to your body. 

Knitwear 2.0 is a far cry from the librarian cardigans and boring sweaters of the past. This fall, knits in unexpected pieces are all I can think about. From crop tops to shrunken cardis to matching sets, nouveau knitwear makes cozy material chic and cool. 

Not your average sweater.
This cardigan is somehow both cute and cozy. 
The perfect partner for high-waisted jeans. 

Next up: I ditched jeans for a week—here's what I wore instead.

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...
