The Terrifying Trend That I'm Actually Warming Up To

If you were to take a 2-second scroll through my IG feed, you’d realize pretty quickly that color isn’t my thing. No, I’m not averse to a bold hue. In fact, I always suggest color when giving styling advice. It’s just never been of interest to me, personally. So you can imagine my thoughts on the highlighter craze we saw on the runway this year, from Prada to Valentino to Prabal Gurung. Yep, slightly terrified. Well, now that the ’80s-inspired look has infiltrated the street style set (showcasing that neon items can work in real life), I’m slowly warming up to the idea that maybe it could actually work for me. 

What are your thoughts? Intrigued by the look too? Well, if you’re interested in dipping your toe into that trend pool, keep scrolling to check out six seamless ways to make neon work in your everyday look. Plus, shop some of my favorite highlighter picks of the moment if you need further inspiration. We’ll test this one out together.

If you’re up for really going for it all winter long, try a neon coat to make a statement. My suggestion is to opt for more neutral separates underneath to balance out the look.

Ease into the trend by testing neon out in your footwear selection. To avoid the full-on ’80s look (even though I know that’s a trend as well), give them a whirl with modern pieces like straight-leg denim and a patterned coat.

Give your go-to uniform the pop it needs with a vibrant top like this street style star is showcasing with her neon sweater, blazer, jeans, and booties.

A highlighter-hued bag is bold without being too over-the-top if that’s more your style. I’d suggest going for a yellow or pink style for the most forward look.

If you want to try a neon tee, consider styling one with more polished pieces like wide-leg trousers and heels for a balanced and elevated ensemble.

This outfit proves that just a touch of the highlighter trend—a belt—can still have a massive effect.

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...
