What I'm Buying to Dress Better Next Year

While every year I like to think I get closer and closer to defining and mastering my own brand of personal style, it would be foolish to think that there will ever not be room for improvement. On that note, as we look ahead to 2020, it’s only natural that I still hope to dress better in the coming year. Particularly, my aim is to look more put-together and polished not just at work or when going out on the weekends but at all times. Coffee run, lunch date, walk in the park—you name it.

With that in mind, I’ve narrowed in on the items I’ll need in order to do so. Not surprisingly, two have to do with footwear, but the other four are equally as important and easy to achieve. To see, read about, and shop all six of the things I’m buying to dress better next year, just keep scrolling.

Nothing ties an outfit together like polished outerwear. In fact, it doesn't really matter what is underneath. When you top off your look with a leather trench, camel coat, utility-inspired jacket, or anything else that falls into the category, you look chic. For that reason, while I'd still like to tackle the other five sections you're about to see below, this is definitely step one for me. 
One way to ensure you'll end up in flats every day is a closet of uncomfortable heels. Unfortunately, I've been guilty of making this shopping mistake more than once, but next year I really hope to turn myself into more of a heel person by seeking out comfortable, wearable styles. Things to look for are kitten heels and wide block heels, as well as styles with thicker straps or boots. 
From classic styles to fashion-forward suits (including skirt-and-shorts sets), suiting is not only an easy way to look on trend for the foreseeable future but also ensures you'll always look put-together. If a full look feels too corporate for you, not to worry, because even just wearing a blazer or trousers will do wonders. 
You know what's funny? I spend most of my time either going to and from work and meetings or actually in the office, yet I spend the least money and effort on bags that are nice for wearing every day and fit my laptop. In fact, I embarrassingly often end up using promotional totes. Next year, however, instead of focusing on mini bags and party clutches, I'm resolving to up my arsenal of functional purses. 
Listen, I love a good T-shirt more than anybody reading this, but that doesn't mean I'm not aware that I'd probably look a lot more like an actual adult were I wearing a real top. While it's going to be hard for me to step out of my (literal) comfort zone next year, I'm determined to do it for the sake of style.
Let's be real. No matter how many pairs comfortable heels I acquire, there are still going to be days when the chance of me wearing them is slim to none. That's why I plan on adding a few pairs of polished flats to my wardrobe so that even on my most casual, laziest days, I can still feel my best.

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...
