I Spot Micro-Trends Like It's My Job—Here Are 6 Are About to Blow Up
Welcome to Micro-Trends. In this series, I'm zeroing in on the hyper-specific iterations of what's trending at large, and I've become somewhat of an expert at spotting them. (Okay, it's basically a pastime of mine at this point.) Once you discover this month's micro-trends, consider yourself an insider.
Here at Who What Wear, we focus a lot of our energy on the biggest trends of the season and while we'll never stop covering the heavy-hitters, there are several micro-trends worthy of honorary mentions. While these aren't causing major style moves yet, we firmly believe that it's only a matter of time until they graduate from micro to macro or, in other words, from niche to mainstream.
After hours of online shopping (all in the name of research!), I'm sharing the micro-trends on my radar at the moment. I've spotted these pieces on the feeds of the most influential women I know and stocked at several key retailers, which tells me that each of them is on the brink of becoming huge. From the new print trend that's about to rival animal print to the sweater trend that will update all your winter outfits, keep reading to see and shop the six micro-trends of the moment.
Marbled print is about to rival your beloved leopard, snake, and zebra prints in 2020 and it honestly feels so fresh. It's defined by psychedelic-inspired swirls that look a lot like the pattern you'd find in a block of marble. Try out the party-ready dresses from 16Arlington for your next night out or incorporate a swirly top from Paloma Wool into your everyday look with jeans. Everyone's favorite structured bags are getting an upgrade with a peculiar shape that instantly reminded us of, well, eggs. You've already seen Staud's infamous Moon Bag, but now it's time to acquaint yourself with the versions from emerging label Coperni and editor-favorite Hayward.Your go-to blazer just got a brand-new look. It's all about a slightly off-centered and asymmetrical construction that takes the classic and somewhat "boring" jacket and makes it feel completely fresh and forward. What's better than wearing one sweater? Wearing two. Without actually piling on two different sweaters, try this layered-effect look instead. Isabel Marant pioneered this one with their version that appears to be a vest on top of another sweater but is, in fact, a single piece. The bold-shouldered look is vaguely '80s-inspired and will definitely spice up your winter outfits.Two charming jewelry trends are combining—glass jewelry and heart jewelry—and the results are even sweeter than we could have imagined. Catch our editor in chief Kat testing out the look with her whimsical necklace.Peasant tops are one thing, but bibs? They're on an entirely new level. Ganni really broke the ground on this trend but now that several other designers are offering similar billowy blouses, we're finally taking note of the growing micro-trend (or should we say cult?).
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...
