The Dress Trend I Thought I Ditched For Good Is Officially Back (and Better)

I'll be completely honest with you, I never imagined I would want to wear this dress trend again. I know everything comes back around eventually, but years ago I purged several off-the-shoulder dresses from my closet (and some OTS tops, too) and truly thought that was the last I would see of them. Until now. Suddenly, the shoulder-baring style is popping up on my radar again and surprisingly, it's even better than before.

2020 is bringing them back with a new silhouette that's looser and flower than it was when I first owned it. The result is a trend that's not necessarily new but feels fresh summer-ready. Sleeper's lightweight linen dresses are what first clued me in to the return of off-the-shoulder styles. Their versions feature pretty smocking and voluminous sleeves and I've spotted them on fashion girls from all over.

Take a cue from these fashion girls and pair yours with flat slides or lace-up sandals. Keep scrolling to see how the trend is making its return this year and shop the freshest picks on the market.

Statement sleeves give this cult-favorite dress an eye-catching silhouette.
I've never seen an off-the-shoulder dress look so elegant.
The smocking makes this one feel even more summery.
All this needs is a woven bag and your favorite sandals.
Bring the beachy vibes with you wherever you go.
I could see this floral number looking just as good with brown boots for the fall.
I'm getting prairie vibes and I'm not mad about it.
This also comes in white and I can't decide which I like best.
Sleeper's Atlanta dress is another hit among the fashion crowd.
Round of applause to H&M for this crinkled texture which makes this one look like it should cost at least double.
You can never go wrong with good old gingham.
Make a statement in red.
This ruffle hem really sent me.
Leave it to Staud to make a previously outdated silhouette look completely fresh.
All about this belt situation.
Your next casual outfit, sorted.
Take a cue from the styling and wear this with lace-up sandals.
We had to go ahead and make our own version. Are you even surprised? Also available in more sizes.
Pull the sleeves down to get an OTS look or leave them up—you get double the options.
Same goes here. It's a convertible neckline thanks to the elastic.
For those of you who don't stray far from an all-black look. I know you're out there.

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...
