I Dressed Like My Favorite Style Icons to Get Out Of My Fashion Funk

Welcome to I Tried It Month, where we’ll be publishing a new fashion, beauty, or wellness article every day in January that features a first-person account of shaking up an old habit, pushing beyond a comfort zone, or simply trying something new. Follow along for 31 days of storytelling, including everything from going without a cellphone for 40 days to trying the polarizing low-rise pants trend.

I think I've established here clear enough that I have an avid love for pop-culture. Whether it's the latest music trend to blow up on TikTok (Have you listened to Driver's License by Olivia Rodrigo yet? If not, please do) or the cool TV show that everyone is watching (Hi, Bridgerton) I like to keep tabs on it all. Some may say I have issues, I like to think it's just a hidden talent. What many may not know is that my love of pop-culture also stems from my love of fashion, because it's no secret that there's a variety of stars and fictional characters that bring on the style game that people remember forever. 

In high school, I loved saving scenes from my favorite shows and movies to recreate their looks to wear. (I was extra, I know.) Since 2020 has left me still in quite a bit of a fashion slump, I thought I'd go back to my roots and mimic outfits from different style icons with what I own in my wardrobe. It can be easy to fall into a routine of wearing similar items, so trying to play with different characters style definitely helped me remember what I loved about clothes and styling in the first place.

Sweater vests may be a trend you see today, but it was in the early 2000s where Cher Horowtizs dominated the style. Her preppy yet forward style is one of my all-time favorite, so I had to do a little vest over collared shirt action in her honor.
When I think of Hilary Banks I think of luxe fabrics, gold jewelry, and boxy retro blazers, so that's exactly what I pulled out to mimic her style. I've had this vintage YSL blazer for years and it completed the look.
There are two things from Rachel Green's wardrobe that have always stuck with me—blazers and overalls. I've had this pair of overalls sitting in the back of my closet for some time, so this was the perfect outfit to pull it out for. 
I'd be lying if I said I didn't buy this sweater right after watching The Crown on Netflix. Princess Diana's sweater collection is one to marvel at, and the costume designers of the show replicated her iconic ensembles perfectly.

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...
