Our team is struggling to find the words—but the thing is, we need them. And even more than words, we need action. — What happened to #GeorgeFloyd—what has been and is happening to black lives—is a tragic reality. — As a brand, we are privileged to have a voice and platform. We are privileged to have a community that is listening. And we know that coming together is one of the most powerful things we can do in times of crisis. — We’ve made a donation to the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund. But we also know that is not enough. So we will continue to listen, to educate ourselves, to speak up, and to stand in solidarity. And we hope that where possible, our community will too. The link is in our bio to donate. — “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” –Angela Davis

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...
