All the Expensive-Looking Wardrobe Basics I Like Have This Detail in Common

One more time for the people in the back: You don't have to spend a lot on your basics to achieve an expensive-looking outfit. I, for one, am perpetually on a budget, so I'm always on the lookout for these more "special" closet staples that will make the most impact in my closet, which is why I'm highlighting one detail that always makes wardrobe basics look luxe no matter what: ribbing. Whether it's a standard ribbed tee, a little cardigan, or even a swimsuit, the textured effect makes any clothing item appear more elevated than the non-textured versions next to it.

While ribbing is nothing new, I came to this realization recently because I've noticed it popping up more and more, especially in previously uncharted territories. We've shared how ribbed knitwear is a growing loungewear trend that's well-suited to our new WFH lifestyle, but now I'd like to point out that ribbing is finding its way onto items like swimsuits and biker shorts, too, making them extra chic. 

To show you what I mean, I'm listing all the best ribbed clothing items broken down by category along with my favorite styling ideas, so you can get on board with this growing trend while it's taking off.

Ribbed tanks and tees are the bread and butter of a fashion girl's closet and the base to so many cool outfits.
Ribbed dresses, especially tank dresses, are getting more attention right now and seeing how comfortable and easy to wear they are, we can see why.
Cardigans are one of those trends that simply won't quit, so next time you reach for one try out a ribbed version to add more interest to your outfit.
Textured swimsuits are popping up left and right in the prettiest new colors and trendy cuts that are sure to stand out from the rest of your collection.
Shop the matching Bikini Bottoms ($40).
Shop the matching Byron Bottoms ($79).
If, like me, your sweatpants have given way to more hot weather-friendly bike shorts as a loungewear staple, then these comfy ribbed shorts deserve your attention.
Ribbed loungewear as opposed to any other kind of loungewear, will almost always look expensive. You can spend $30 or $300 on an item and yet the ribbing gives off the same luxurious quality, every single time.

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...
