The Henley Has Been My Must Have Wardrobe Staple For Years

Like many of our classic styles today (think workwear denim or Chanel's Breton stripes) even cardigans and henley shirts have humble beginnings that are spun chic. Henley shirts were named after the English town of Henley-on-Thames; they were the traditional uniforms of rowers in the English town in the early 1800s. Functional and sporty! That's what probably got the attention of designer Ralph Lauren as he brought the previously worn underwear to American wardrobes in the the 1970s.

I've always loved a henley - its open neck shows just enough skin. I've collected the style over the years in everything from tissue-thin cotton, to silk and cashmere. One of my go-to stores for the henley has been Gap, with my mom stocking up on henley shirts for me for both bedtime and out-and-about year after year. Stripes, slouchies, ribbed, and fitted are all available. I always welcome another Gap henley in my wardrobe. I recently wore them with my favorite new pair of Gap jeans. I wear them everywhere from doing construction in the house to writing this article. With a great sale happening at Gap, 50 percent off with the code BIGSALE and an additional 20 percent off with the code ADDON, now is the time to add this classic to your wardrobe! Here are a few of my selects.

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...
