This Barely-There Sweater Trend Has Officially Moved Me to My Core

Does a trend ever feel so original and fresh that it low-key makes you emotional? Nope, just me then? Well, once I show you everything there is to know about this latest micro-trend I've spotted, I think you'll feel differently. After several months of keeping an eye on this piece, I can confidently say that it's definitely one you should know about. The item in question? Boleros. More specifically, bolero sweaters.

After witnessing how one of these sweaters, in particular, became an Instagram It piece in its own right, I figured that it would only be a matter of time until more versions bubbled up and sure enough, now these sweater sleeves are all over my favorite retailers from Zara to Net-a-Porter. Whether it's an ultra-cropped pullover sweater or more of an open-front shrug, the idea is that the sweater is mostly just the sleeves, hence the term "barely-there". Because of this, there are plenty of ways to wear it layered over a tank top, bra top, or a dress—don't worry, there are plenty of matching sets that make this easy.

To get an idea of what I'm even talking about, see how the fashion crowd has already begun experimenting with these knits and, of course, shop the best bolero sweaters simply keep scrolling.

These matching knit shrug sets like the Dion Lee style Olivia Lopez wears here takes the concept of a sweater set to a whole new level. Style one with fall staples like leather pants and boots.
Trendy, yes, but these sweater sleeves are practical, too, for when all you need is a light layer and not an entire sweater. Throw one on with a tank and jeans for an cool, casual vibe.
It's all about the layering—try a knit shrug with tanks or dresses in a similar color for one cohesive look.
While I'm pretty sure Chainky's top here is all one piece, it still has that same cold-shoulder look as a tank and bolero set, and I'm officially inspired to style mine with a large chain link necklace.
Anything I can wear that makes my wardrobe basics come alive is a yes in my book and this definitely fits the bill.
Fashion girls are all about wearing these as bikini coverups, too.
Wear one to showcase your favorite bra top, another trendy item bolero sweaters pair well with.

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...
