Sorry, But These 6 Basics Are Officially Over

Ready for a fresh batch of wardrobe basics? As we sink our teeth into 2021, it's only natural that we sit down to discuss the upcoming styles that will dominate for the year ahead. Even though basics tend to have a much longer shelf-life than seasonal trends, they do also go through style cycles which is why we're about to highlight the freshest basics of the moment and, consequently, which now feel outdated.

I think you'll agree with me when I say that items like mesh leggings are now safely a thing of the past while others like bike shorts are nearing their end dates. Of course, these are simply my opinions based on what I've been noticing in the fashion world and you should always feel free to wear whatever you please. But if you're looking for some guidance for your next closet clean-out or are simply curious to see which styles are hitting their expiration dates, look no further than the below six outdated basics and which pieces are replacing them. You'd even be wise to start shopping for your next restock now.

In terms of legging trends, I think it's safe to say that mesh panel leggings are now a thing of the past. Instead of the "risky" see-through look, I'm seeing a lot more slit leggings which feel so fresh and happen go well with basically any shoe style.

Every closet needs a few solid T-shirts and I think it's these boyfriend tees with a relaxed, lived-in look that are the most notable right now. Alternately, distressed and cutout tees seem to be on the way out.

Sorry, skinny leather pants, these looser shapes are replacing you. Wide and straight-leg leather pants are the fresher version of this winter staple that look updated but are just as easy to style. Pants and jeans in general are becoming more relaxed, so it's no surprise that these are quickly gaining traction, too.
Let's talk loungewear. Luxurious knit sets are everywhere we look these days, particularly when they involve knit shorts. And what could be better than something that's as comfy as it is cute? While bike shorts are still one of my go-to items for warm-weather workouts, I don't see them as a must-have basic anymore.
Suiting separates have been around for a minute now but this year, we're about to see one specific item take hold and that's what I'm calling puddle trousers. The runways confirm that these extra-relaxed and slouchy trousers will reign supreme, indicating an end to skinny cigarette trousers.
Is it 2021 or 1981? Based on the array of throwback sneakers we're seeing right now, it might as well be the latter. With gummy tread soles and neutral suede fabrics, these are set to be the biggest sneaker trend of the year, which only solidifies that clunky grandpa sneakers are on the way out.

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...
