This Expensive-Looking Trend Is Seriously Chic (If You Avoid Coffee and Kids)

At least once a week I like to live dangerously. And by that, I mean I slip into a chic head-to-toe white outfit despite the fact that a) I have one seriously messy toddler and b) I drink a copious amount of tea and coffee. Call me crazy, I know. But sometimes when it comes to fashion the heart wins over the head! An all white outfit is sumptuously sophisticated and inherently expensive-looking—even if you haven't spent a fortune on it.

A flurry of all white outfits sashayed down the S/S 2020 runways this year—from billowy lace dresses at Alexander Mcqueen to sleek, relaxed tailoring at Tory Burch. And if that’s not enough to get you excited, Instagram’s style set have been showing us a myriad of cool and easy ways to wear the tricky trend—proving that there’s no better time than summer 2020—while we are mostly staying home and less risk averse to stains—to give a head-to-toe white outfit a whirl. (Although, I do advise to keep coffee and kids at a safe distance!)

The key to pulling off the trend this summer is to play with textures, layering, and volume which will keep your look interesting. Also don’t be afraid of breaking up the look with contrasting accessories from black sandals to gold jewelry. And if an all white outfit feels a little daunting, mix it up by adding buttery neutrals. Below I’m sharing some seriously cool all-white outfits to help you take on the trend this summer.

Lean into the preppy tennis trend we're seeing all over the 'gram this summer, and pair a tennis skirt with a chic asymmetric tank top, and finish with of-the-moment crew socks and crisp white retro sneakers.
Milkmaid-style tops are having a major moment this season—try a white one with a relaxed pair of high-waisted linen pants and complete your look with gold hoops and a hair scarf for one charming summer ensemble.
There's nothing more simple and effortless than a crisp white tee and jeans. Pair it with a summer-ready straw bag and sophisticated flip-flops.
As sunbathing weather hits, opt for a minimalist-chic white bikini paired with an oversize white button down. A smattering of gold jewelry will add interest to the look. Classic yet chic.
Nothing says summer quite like a dreamy white maxi dress. Pair with contrasting sporty sandals and a biscuit hued cardi for cool summer nights.
Relaxed short suits were all over the S/S 2020 runways. Opt for long shorts and a blazer in lightweight fabrics and break the look up with a contrasting black tee.
All-white outfits don't need to be complicated. In fact a chic white slip dress and sporty sandals is striking in its simplicity. Finish the look with a white crochet bag.

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...
