The 5 Pairs of Shoes I've Worn Countless Times Since January 1

Twenty-twenty has been a weird year, to say the least. There are many, many things we've done differently this year: Spending most of our time at our homes, living on Zoom calls, and using terms like "social distancing," just to name a few. Another thing we've done very differently the past 12 months is the way we've been getting dressed. I don't know about you but I've been living in the same cozy outfits because putting on anything else just feels wrong. 

That's especially true when it comes to footwear (what are heels again?). I've essentially spent the entire year in the same five pairs of shoes and completely neglected every other pair in my closet. Not only are they comfortable, but they all pair well with all the laidback outfits I've been rotating through this year. From the comfortable sneakers I've worn daily to my chunky boots that go with every outfit, below are the five versatile shoes that I've been living in this year—and I'll probably continue to do so in 2021. 

Obviously, 2020 has been a year like no other, which has also meant my shoe choices have been like no other. Truthfully my Ugg slippers have been my most worn shoes this year because staying home means staying comfortable. The backless nature of these ensures your feet don't get too hot inside the shearling (even in L.A.) so I wear them year-round. And although we don't know what 2021 will look like yet, these are a worthy investment you'll wear for years. Trust me—they're money well spent. 
I've owned these sneakers for years (as you can tell by how beat up they look—don't judge) and have never gotten more wear out of them. Since trading in my typical heels for more comfortable footwear this year, my Stan Smiths have been on heavy rotation almost every time I leave the house. They're comfortable, classic, and go with everything, making them my go-to pair these past few months. 
I've owned these Dr. Martens for a few years now and can honestly say they come back season after season. They keep my feet warm and protected when stepping out during the fall and winter, plus they look great with jeans. Chunky boots are also a huge trend this year and this is a relatively affordable way to get in on the trend with a pair that will last you for years. 
Long walks have become my workout activity of choice since my usual HIIT class wasn't an option, and they're one of the things I'm going to keep in my routine once life goes back to normal. I always feel grounded and clear-headed after a stroll around my neighborhood, and my Nike running shoes are the only pair I'll wear as they're easily the most comfortable workout shoe I own. 
Although I wasn't getting as "dressed up" as I normally do this year, there were still occasions with friends or date nights with my boyfriend where I wanted to feel put together without overdoing it. For these, I turned to these Iro ankle boots that feel polished yet relaxed enough to wear in my house. I love that they have a small block heel and the chic nude color goes with everything. Oh, and the leather is buttery soft. 
You can never have too many pairs of slippers.
I've heard great things about APL for years so I've been eyeing these for a while—and since I've been wearing my running shoes so much this year it might be time to invest in a second pair. 
The chunky boot trend isn't going anywhere, and these are the kind of shoe you'll wear for years. 
A good pair of neutral slides is a must. 
I love the minimalist look of these sneakers.
These affordable combat boots were a Prime Day favorite for Who What Wear readers.

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...
