The Affordable Trend That's Basically Become a Wardrobe Staple

When you work in fashion, you tend to get trend exhaustion from watching so many new styles emerge for one season only to burn out quickly and all but disappear, which is why it's always a much-welcomed reprieve to see a trend emerge and then continue to be relevant season after season until it eventually just becomes a wardrobe staple—well, an updated staple at that. The utility trend is one of these modern wardrobe staples that have basically become trend-proof because of how pervasive they are and, not to mention, elevated and easy to wear. So as we do with many of the most wearable trends of the moment, we took it upon ourselves to make our own versions for our Who What Wear line.

As I said, I've seen utility-style pieces continue to bubble over several years, which tells me this trend is here to stay. Informed by the runways, confirmed by editors like yours truly, and spotted on the fashion set over and over, you can be sure that our affordable versions (I'm talking $40 and under) will be solid additions to your wardrobe. To prove it, discover the pants, dresses, skirts, and tops we've designed to align with the utility trend and get inspired by how fashion people wear it just below.

Tackle two trends when you go with a belted silhouette in a neutral hue.
Our very own managing editor Kristen took the dress for a spin.
For an elevated approach, try tucking utility-style trousers into knee boots.
A crisp white shirt will always have a place in the closets of fashion girls.
Look out for chic belted silhouettes and utilitarian pockets.
Try deconstructed shirting to freshen up any of your jeans and pants.
What a difference a tie-waist detail can make.
Never underestimate the power of a wrap skirt to add some structure to the look.
So many great outfits start with a crisp poplin shirt.
Go full monochrome when you pair our utility pants with the matching button-down tank.
There's nothing easier—or chicer—than a belted utility-inspired dress to wear with boots, heels, and sandals alike.

Next up, the chill summer trend I legit plan on wearing with everything.

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...
