Even Pantone’s Color Of The Year Wants More Stability
Over the last few years, a number of different colors have reigned supreme. Millennial pink got the ball rolling (and boy did it roll), followed by Gen Z yellow, slime green, and Aperol orange. But those were so then, and while the new year is still a month away, we're already jonesing for a fresh color trend to embrace right now. Luckily, Pantone, a.k.a. the judge and jury over all things color, has just the shade we've been waiting for. Introducing the 2020 Color of the Year: Classic Blue.
We know what you're thinking: Classic blue, how boring! And, sure. But if you really take a look at today's most talked-about trends, we're betting you'll see this particular shade appearing more often than not. That meme-worthy Balenciaga dress, Billie Eilish’s best dye job, the right (or should we say left?) side of the political spectrum — all come wrapped up in a pretty Classic Blue package. Let us also remind you that blue is the color of royalty, and we all know how much pull Meghan Markle has these days.
Just like Meghan, we could all use a stable color like this one in our lives. Which, coincidentally, is why Pantone chose it: According to the company, the color was selected for its dependability and stability, two qualities people crave when crossing the threshold into a new era. "Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color, Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge," Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute said. "It fosters resilience."
To that end, we're rounding up all best shoppable pieces (Balenciaga not included) that come in next year's biggest shade, from Eckhaus Latta tees to Zara sweater dresses.

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...

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...
