7 Trends This 54-Year-Old is Putting to Rest

Trends, by definition, come and go as they please, and according to this 54-year-old fashion girl, there are a few that are better off left alone as we press on into the rest of the year. Over the years, Grece Ghanem has worked her way up from influencer to style icon, so it was no wonder I was thirsty to seek her advice on the trends for the year ahead. "As a 54-year-old fashionista, I have seen a lot of trends come and go; every year some fade away yet never go fully extinct," said Ghanem. "However, I want to start by saying that trends being in or out does not make sense anymore to me. The modern woman can not afford to change her dressing habits season after season, and neither can we ignore the environmental impact of our clothes and shopping habits!

This being said, we need to build timeless wardrobes of quality clothing to love, wear, and pass on from one generation to the other. Below is my take on the pieces I will be shuffling forward into my wardrobe and those that I will be giving a little rest for now."

In addition to the laundry list of trends she will be ditching this year, Grece also enlightened us on the trends she will be investing in. Curious to see which styles are being put to the side for now? Go on to read this 54-year-old's take on this season's biggest trends.

"Suits never go out of style! This season I am replacing my boxy, boyish suits with a single-buttoned blazer and turning lingeries, bras, and corsets into outerwear."

"I am going to give my chunky sneakers a break and opt for square toe sandals or mules."

"I am going to keep my biker shorts for the gym and invest in longer short bermudas. I seem to have a penchant for the leather bermudas, in particular."

"I will be replacing my PVC handbags with quilted pouches or woven leather to stand out!"

"Anklets are going to replace the dainty jewelry stacks. I feel a thin chain or a string of pearls around the ankle bone elevates even the plainest of footwear."

"I will be adding more shades of beige, layering similar tones onto one another for the perfect soft wearable neutral to replace my logomania!"

"Last but not least, I look forward to wearing flared and wide-leg types of denim with high heels in place of cropped jeans."

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...
