The "Ugly" Trend Fashion Girls Are Stealing From Their Grandpas

And we're back with yet another "ugly" trend that's so cute, fashion girls can't stop wearing it. Today, the trend takes after not your dad, but your grandfather, and for that reason, we are calling it the "grandpa jacket". Considering this jacket style is one your grandpa actually would have worn, we must clarify that it is not new by any means. The jacket we are highlighting today is inspired by the original Harrington jacket which actually dates back to the 1930s. Fun fact: The original Harrington jacket was made by a company called Baracuta and the original jacket can still be purchased today. Research proves that this outerwear piece has held its own in the industry receiving necessary tweaks and adjustments here and there along the way. The latest update? The fact that they have finally found their way into the closets of fashion girls everywhere. 

These grandpa jackets are boxy in shape, mainly neutral in color, and most zip up. It girls have been spotted styling them with everything from sweatsuits to bra tops and we couldn't be more pleased with the evolution. Since this technically is a menswear item, quite a few of the jackets shopped out below are from the men's section, but that just means you'll be getting as authentic of a look as possible. From fresh designer takes to the OG G9 jacket, there is no doubt that by the end of this trend roundup, your cart will be full of this iconic jacket style. 

Layer this jacket over a simple crewneck sweatshirt, but don't forget to jazz it up with edgy layered chain necklaces. 
An all-black ensemble can instantly be made ten times more interesting via an oversize leather grandpa jacket. If you ask me, the bigger the better if you want to maximize the fresh look of this old trend. 
This new Nanushka jacket is everything and more, and we love the way Imani styled hers with a cozy cardigan and denim. 
Apparently, two-tone grandpa jackets are a thing and you can shop this exact one below. 
If Emma Chamberlain is wearing the trend, you know it's bound to be big. As a matter of fact, her generation in general has been proving to be major advocates of this jacket style having scored many of theirs from thrift stores. 
This shot is from Maryam Nassir Zadeh's S/S 21 collection and while, yes, the jacket is the focal point, the styling of it is just as alluring. 
The strong shoulders of this jacket add just the right amount of structure to this otherwise laidback look. 
The next time you want to dabble in a head-to-toe leather look, start with your new favorite grandpa jacket. 
Everything about this outfit is a win.  Next up, shop the new micro-trend that is suddenly popping up everywhere.

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...
