5 Fall Trends My 57-Year-Old Mom and I Agree Are Worth Buying

For the sake of easily writing this intro, I wish I could claim that my mom and I don’t always agree on fashion matters, that we have completely opposing taste, and that we rarely, if ever, think of buying or wearing the same things. Unfortunately for today—but fortunately in life—that’s simply not the case. In fact, ever since I can remember we’ve been pretty much on the same page when it comes to fashion and style. We both err on the more classic side but can’t resist a truly great trend piece when we come across one. We also like to keep it pretty simple and aim to only buy items that are investment-worthy so they can stay in our collective closets for years or, better yet, decades.

In case that sounds like anyone else’s vibe, I figured why not get my mom on the phone (again) and talk about which F/W 20 trends we think are worth actually buying into for the coming season and beyond. After some back-and-forth, we were able to settle on a solid five, all of which I think you’ll be quite pleased with. To see, read about, and, of course, shop each, just keep scrolling.

Neutral color trends are among the smartest fashion investments because while you may shop for the perfect, coordinating "groutfit," now, you can also wear the pieces separately for years to come. 
You can just tell by looking at these classic, ladylike handbags that they'll stay in your rotation forever. In fact, my mom already has a collection of them I just may "shop" from rather than buying something new. 
As my mom says, leather always comes back for fall and winter, so buying into it now is truly an investment for future seasons. 
If you don't already own a pair of snug over-the-knee boots from seasons past, we suggest buying one in order to achieve F/W 20's legs in leather trend ASAP.
Of the many, many suiting trends that went down the runways in February, we couldn't help but name the skirt suit as a favorite. While it's always evolving (as seen through Monse's forward take below), it remains a staple that you'll revisit time and time again.  

Next: What I'm buying to dress better this fall.

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...
