The Olsens Were Way Ahead of the Curve on This Fall Trend

Regarded as some of the chicest women in fashion, the Olsens are hardly a pair who follow the crowd. Over their years in the spotlight, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have developed their own unique aesthetic, rarely straying from a pared-back capsule wardrobe filled with perfectly tailored trousers, button-down shirts, lengthy gowns, and floor-skimming maxi coats. 

As a fellow petite woman, I have, for years, analyzed and admired the way the sisters dress, managing to balance proportions and throw the traditional "petite-girl rule book" completely out the window. And this autumn, in particular, I am feeling very inclined to draw from the Olsens' guide to style by trying a maxi coat of my very own. 

While a legitimately floor-skimming coat is not the most practical purchase—particularly during the wet winter months—a coat that hits your lower calf can become a wardrobe hero throughout autumn and winter. Luckily this season, there seems to be plenty of options around if you are looking to add a maxi coat to your current rotation. 

With an array of hues and shapes, investing in an Olsen-esque coat is all about tailoring and finding a look that won't entirely overwhelm your frame. From double-breasted iterations to coats that feature waist-cinching belts, opting for a tailored element will help create structure. Keep scrolling to see how the Olsens style maxi coats and then shop a few options below. 

Style Notes: Seen in their coat style of choice, Ashley chooses to don a cream coat with a waist belt detail here, while Mary-Kate opts for an oversize iteration. 
Style Notes: At another event, Ashley wears a double-breasted coat over a long black dress and stilettos. 
Style Notes: Here, Mary-Kate adds structure to her maxi coat by pairing it with a statement, waist-cinching belt.
Faux leather is a major trend for fall. 
So sleek, so classic.
I love how this is styled with trousers and sneakers.
An extra-long trench coat feels very Mary-Kate and Ashley. 
Leave it to H&M to make pieces that always look more expensive than they really are. 
Emphasize the exaggerated shape of the coat with wide-leg trousers. 
Fringe benefits. 
Camel coats will never go out of style.
This faux fur coat looks very luxurious. 
A touch of '70s flair. 
Houndstooth is always a classic choice. 
Chicer than your average trenchcoat. 
Yes, Ugg makes coats now!
I couldn't do a coat story without Burberry. 
Fringe is another major fall 2020 trend. 
Max Mara is famous for its high-quality coats. 
I love the chaotic layering situation happening here.
Like a fine Burgundy wine.

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...
