This Summery Micro-Trend Is Dominating My Feed Right Now

Half the time when a trend emerges, it's a style that's basically brand new, but the other half of that is when a trend starts to take hold that's really just an updated version of what's already on our radar. We've seen this before with micro-trends like leather Bermuda shorts as an update to regular Bermuda shorts, for example, and it just so happens that another such micro-trend is showing up this summer. Not just showing up, but dominating. It's gotten to the point where I can no longer ignore it (I swear it's basically internet-stalking me). Yep, statement bucket hats are the new micro-trend that's really, truly everywhere right now.

We first published a story on bucket hats back in 2018—so, yes, I'm aware that the hats themselves are hardly new—but this summer is ushering in a new wave of them that deserves its own category. These new toppers are all about eye-catching prints like florals, tie-dye, and polka dots and they come in an array of bright colors that make the hat such a summer-ready accessory.

I've already spotted so many cool outfit ideas in this summer's best bucket hats from the fashion girls in my feed, styling them with all their everything from dresses to swimsuits, and generally selling me on the trend. To see this new micro-trend in action and shop my picks, just keep scrolling.

Style Tip: With plenty of brands like Faithfull the Brand and LPA making hats, dresses, and swimsuits in the same print, it's never been easier to coordinate your entire outfit.
Style Tip: Not only will a bright hat level-up your swimsuit looks but it will protect your skin from damaging UV rays.
Style Tip: Staying within the same color family ensures your look is cohesive.
Style Tip: Load up on the jewelry—bright bucket hats happen to play especially well with of-the-moment pearls and chains.
Style Tip: Give off your casual summer dresses a trendy element by throwing on a colorful hat.
Style Tip: There's nothing more classic than gingham in the summer—married to a bucket hat it just feels right.
Style Tip: When it comes to this trend, bolder the print, the better the hat.
Style Tip: Try a plain canvas hat if the rest of your outfit is busy.
Style Tip: A little bit of neon really does go a long way.

Up next, 25 under-$98 finds from brands that are just as good as Zara.

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...
