I'm Addicted to Frivolous Trends, But These 9 Basics Curbed My Cravings
Ask any of my friends or co-workers and they will tell you that I love trying out new trends. Even if something doesn't fully fit my personal style (which, what even is that I'm not sure), I am usually willing to dabble. But this year has made me more aware of the contents of my wardrobe as a whole versus one-off pieces that I love. I have spent more time investing in basics, but investment and affordable, that help to create a well-rounded assortment of clothes and accessories.
While I expected my closet to feel more cohesive and less explosive, what I did not expect was for my addiction to frivolous trends to be curbed along the way. I found that the more I searched for and wore my basics, the less attracted I was to styles that were fleeting. This is not to say I won't dip my toe in random trends anymore, but this realization made me appreciate the simpler pieces in my wardrobe that I wear more than any trend, period.
Ahead, shop the best basics I have added to my closet that ended up helping me shop smarter.
Belted blazers have just enough flair to make me feel like I'm wearing a fun new trend while also providing me with a quality basic that will add value to my wardrobe for seasons to come. Silky slips feel good and look good, always. If you already own one, I suggest slipping into it while at home one evening for a much-deserved night of relaxation and pampering. Classic sneakers always make me feel on-trend, no matter what time of year it is. While I was never into the "dad" sneaker trend, I have found that the return of classic and sometimes retro styles feel right at home in my wardrobe and have stopped me from investing in other sneakers just because they are trendy. If you're in need of an outfit that feels daring (which is what I sometimes love about trying out a new trend), try wearing a pajama set somewhere other than your home. Whether they are ruffled-adorned or are a simple tank and shorts set, I can assure you that this cute co-ord moment will feel fresh no matter what. A little black dress will always be exciting to me. While I currently miss the opportunity to get dressed up, I know that my favorite LBDs are safely tucked away in my closet waiting for their triumphant return. Since it's summer, it felt appropriate to bring up my love of white dresses. White summer dresses will always be a staple during this season so if you're like me and are having an urge to shop right now, start with a pretty white sun dress. Bra tops are a newer trend for me, but at the end of the day, purchasing them will never be a waste. Since bras and bralettes will always find purpose in your wardrobe, why not get some cute ones, wear them as tops this summer, and call it a day? Okay, I had to squeeze one trendy basic in here and that would be the baseball hat. What I love about this trend is that it never really was "out" considering people wear baseball hats all the time, but once it dropped in the fashion scene as a trend, you better believe I stocked up. Simple tank tops are my go-tos, always. Since I do tend to lean into trends or styles that are bit wild, having an assortment of quality tanks at the ready to wear with crazier counterparts has been a game-changer.

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...

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...
