A Shopping Expert on the "Trendy" Basics You Won't Regret Buying

If you're already finding yourself confused on what a "trendy basic" is, I suggest you give this story a good read. It explains in great detail the evolution of certain items that officially transitioned from basic to a seasonal must-have. This new mindset of considering basics some of the most forward items in your closet has only continued to grow, and now, as we have been spending more time at home, the necessity for classic wardrobe staples over trend-driven items has never been more prevalent. 

Since I have pretty much talked the "trendy" basic to death, I decided to reach out to a shopping expert to get her advice on which of these trendy basics are worth the money every time. Celenie Seidel, Senior Womenswear Editor at Farfetch, was kind enough to fill us in on her official list of trendy basics—the ones that she says you won't ever regret buying. Her list hits every category right on the nose and her tips are even better. 

Ahead, go on to find out the 5 official trendy basics that a shopping expert says you will always be grateful for. 

"This is the outerwear piece that will service you across most seasons with a little layering up or down. For a step away from the traditional beige trench, look for versions in warmer shades like this one from Bottega Veneta."

"The leather trouser world has been updated with many new, animal-friendly alternatives. This trans-seasonal item can be worn with almost anything and Nanushka is doing some of the best versions out there."  

"This timeless style is a decade-defying classic. This ankle strap version in suede from Khaite is a chic 90s throwback worthy of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.  

"Whether in silver or gold, a chain necklace is one you can regularly reach for. Currently there is a big trend towards XL chunky chains, however, a more moderately weighted chain will better serve an everyday purpose and will have better longevity." 

"The bag that truly makes itself useful, with a capacity that caters to all your daily needs and associated belongings. Textured leather, like this woven style from Loewe, adds interest while remaining classic enough to call it a forever piece."

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...
