I'm From Southern California and Always Buy These 4 Underrated Brands

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.

Yes, I love a buzzy, fashion-girl brand as much as the next person, but I have to admit that it starts to get less and less appealing the more it's plastered all over Instagram. Who can relate? Whenever I don't feel excited about all the shiny new objects out there, I go back to my Southern California roots and wear the surf brands I grew up surrounded by every day. (My dad is an avid surfer, so I pretty much didn't have a choice in the matter.)

Brands like Billabong and O'Neill are all over retailers such as Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters, but fashion girls can easily overlook them in favor of brands with more IG appeal or celebrity clout. If you ask me, they certainly shouldn't. These brands have a California-cool vibe built-in and are supremely affordable. Scroll down to shop my favorite 25 items from surf brands. 

Slip dresses are so versatile. 
I love a good graphic tee. 
You can never own too many striped T-shirts.
Another pretty dress to covet before summer ends. 
This jacket is designed to be easily packed into small spaces, so it's perfect for road trips. 
Cropped sweatshirts are a favorite of the TikTok crowd. 
I love this delicate floral print. 
Easy, breezy. 
Fun print. Puffed sleeves. Cutout detail. Check, check, and check.
Plaid is perfect for fall. 
Yep, I'd wear this dress year-round in SoCal. 
Whether you use it as a bikini coverup or as a robe, this is a winner. 
Surf tees never get old. 
I'm still obsessed with the square neckline trend. 
Tie-dye is here to stay. 
This is a perfect lightweight layer for summer-to-fall transitional weather. 
I plan to wear this every day come fall. 
In case you live in sweatpants while working from home like me. 
The quintessential surfers' hat. 
Is there anything more versatile than a white tank top? 
Denim skirts will always be in style. 
Come fall, this corduroy skirt would look cute with tights and boots. 
I love this pretty peach color. 
Yes, every true SoCal native owns a pair of "beach pants."
Comfy enough to sleep in.

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...
