And while age should nothing to do with what your fashion choices, their expertise over 50 is always intriguing given their seasoned sartorial point of view. We recently highlighted their favorite dress trends, and next up we thought we’d pivot a bit to discuss something on the other end of the style spectrum. Yep, activewear.

"When out for a leisure bike ride or a fresh-air hike, full-length leggings or breathable joggers with a lightweight top keeps us looking and feeling cool. Try knotting an oversize T-shirt or tank to go from basic to a bit more style!" — Gunn and Meyers. On Gunn: Alo top; Lululemon leggings; Nike sneakers
On Meyers: Sweaty Betty outfit
"Pilates, yoga, or foam roller? All of the above, please. As we get older, it’s important to stay flexible. We like 3/4-length leggings that move with us paired with a tank or a T-shirt that is long enough to not ride up as we bend and stretch." — Gunn and Meyers. On Gunn: Lilybod leggings; Alo top
On Meyers: Lululemon outfit
"For a mild cardio walk, a pair of joggers or trending tie-dye sweats (DIY or store-bought!) keeps things comfortable and relaxed. For a run, we mix it up a bit with bike shorts or patterned leggings to show off a bit of flair. And of course, solid, stylish shoes that can walk or run the distance with us." — Gunn and Meyers. On Meyers: Varley outfit
On Gunn: Alo top; Lululemon leggings; Nike sneakers
"Makeshift home gyms and online class streaming have definitely been helpful over the past few months. When doing our home-based workouts, we like to either wear sheer, loose-fitting tops with a bralette underneath or a quick-dry tank to make sure we have options to cool down if we start to overheat." — Gunn and Meyers . On Gunn: Alo outfit; Nike sneakers
On Meyers: Lilybod outfit
"The beach is finally open again, and it’s the perfect spot to get active by running, walking, or jumping waves. When oceanside, we like to keep it fresh with white, light colors, or patterns. Shoes are optional." — Gunn and Meyers. On Gunn: Alo outfit
On Meyers: Ultracor outfit

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...
