TBH I'm Bored of Basics—These 20 Affordable Statement Items Have My Attention

From ribbed tanks and vintage denim to T-shirts and leggings, my closet has no shortage of basics. Don't get me wrong: I love each and every one of them. Basics have been particularly practical while I've been working from home these past couple of months, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready for a change—a bolder, brighter change. There may not be a beach day or vacation in my near future, but that doesn't mean I want to give up on my summer wardrobe altogether. Not one bit.

As the weeks go on, I'm gravitating more and more toward statement apparel and accessories. While my idea of a statement piece has definitely changed in the current times—it's more about a fun color or print, than a luxurious fabric, for example—this wardrobe category really is keeping the summer spirit alive for me. The picks below are the current items I'm coveting. Oh, and by the way, they're all fairly affordable, with price tags no higher than $155.

It isn't summer without a colorful crop top.
Polka dots. Puffy sleeves. Corset bodice. Need I say more?
This top will make all of your basic tanks jealous.
Fruit prints always make me feel like I'm on vacation.
Hawaiian shirts make a statement.
I would like to thank the designer of this $35 puffy-sleeve dress.
It's always exciting to find an under-$100 Reformation dress, and this one's tropical print really caught my eye.
Does this tie-dye print look like clouds, or is it just me?
A head turner to say the least.
Business in the front; party in the back.
Pair this with your favorite basic top.
Everyone on your Zoom calls will want to know where these jeans are from.
Why have one print when you can have three?
Perfect for frolicking in a field (alone of course).
Not your average denim shorts.
For all those Zoom and IGTV workouts you've been doing.
The perfect little summer bag to wear with all of your LBDs.
It's bucket hat season!
Roxanne Assoulin jewelry simply makes me happy.
Exchange your neutral sandals for a pastel or neon pair.

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...
