The Sophisticated Trend Everyone's Wearing With Sneakers

There's one slightly unexpected pairing that seems to be on everyone's minds this season: teaming work-friendly trousers with more casual sneakers.

Throwing on the comfortable shoe style with suit pants is no longer reserved for those commuting to and from the office. Sneakers are now the main attraction, meant to be worn even in the boardroom. But there's no one shoe that fits all here. The fashion crowd has proven that even the most functionally driven sneakers are fair game. The six outfits ahead bring a whole new meaning to business casual. With each bringing their own twist to the trend, feel free to save every one of the following looks the next time you need a little inspiration.

Consider this the ultimate urban-commuter look. If your performance-geared sneakers can be paired with flared trousers and an oversize denim jacket, they can look good with just about anything.
Whether intentional or not, we love the '50s throwback vibe we're getting from the rolled trouser pants styled over a pair of All-Star high-tops. These classic sneakers have withstood the test of time. The fact that they can blend in just as well with high-waisted pants and a cropped cardigan means they plan on hanging around for a while longer.
Suit pants, meet skate sneakers. In theory, these two things shouldn't work together, yet here we are. Attempt a similar look by matching a classic suit print (e.g., checks or pinstripes) with checkerboard slip-ons. To keep the look in the casual-cool neighborhood, keep the rest of the ensemble similarly low-key with a basic hoodie and a fitted hat. 
What goes around comes around, and popular '80s sneaker styles are definitely coming back in hot. New Balance's 990v5 have been taking over our Instagram feeds (name one influencer who hasn't been seen in them—I'll wait), but the best way to wear them might be with a similarly '80s-inspired power suit.
The ultimate fashion sneakers, Nike's Air Force 1s have proven themselves to be style chameleons. Case in point, they look just as at home worn with straight-leg trousers as they do with a pair of basketball shorts. 
I've been hesitant to hop on the treaded-sneaker trend train. I'm not sure if it's Anne Johannsen's blinding confidence that the shoe can be cool or this brilliant monochrome look distracting me from the sneakers' chunky soles, but consider me convinced. 

Up next, the new "dad" trend everyone will be wearing in six months.

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...
