The "Ugly" Trend I'm Borrowing From Grandpas Everywhere

Above everything, I like to be comfortable when I’m getting dressed so I was very ready to embrace sweatpants and leggings into my wardrobe in a larger way over the last year. But I also like to feel polished, so when I slip into a sweatpant suit too many days in a row, I start to feel the impulse to put in a little more effort. That’s why I’ve been adopting the slouchy pants trend into my wardrobe in a big way.

Spotted on the S/S 21 runways at brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and The Row, designers made a major case for relaxed yet tailored trousers and jeans. Think of them as your grandpa’s favorite slacks in a few sizes up but tailored in all of the right places. These roomy pants add exactly the right amount of tailored polish to any look, with the added bonus of being super comfortable. I guess grandpa knew what he was doing all along.

There's no doubt that relaxed tailoring had a major moment on the S/S 21 runways, but slouchy khakis are one of the microtrends within the category that I'm expecting to really take off. The billowy, beige pants were spotted everywhere from Louis Vuitton to The Row to Tory Burch, offering a cool new staple for minimalist fashion enthusiasts. Think of these as a more polished replacement for your comfy sweatpants.

How I'm wearing them:

Admittedly, my wardrobe is pretty deficient in trousers. I'm typically more of a denim person but lately, I've been adding more tailored pants to my closet—especially comfortable, slouchy styles. I was immediately drawn to this pair from Tove and they've become a regular wardrobe staple to wear with tees and boots or heels.

Already a favorite piece among fashion insiders, one message is clear: the slouchier, the better. I've noticed super wide-cut silhouettes paired with everything from sleeveless turtlenecks to oversize button-down tops—two more rising trends I've had my eye on recently.

On the runway:

Every season, I keep my eyes peeled for the new denim trends that are hitting the runways. Since jeans are a major staple in my closet, I tend to try out whatever feels fresh and new. For spring 2021, baggy jeans were the trend that you simply couldn't ignore, with brands like Chanel, Victoria Beckham, and Balenciaga making a compelling case for them. Simply add an oversize button-down and a tee and tailored jacket.

How I'm wearing them:

I grew up wearing lots of denim, so I feel like I'm always experimenting with new shapes and styles. Until recently, though, baggy denim was never a silhouette I tried out. As I've been working from home though, I've found that looser jeans are more comfortable to wear all day. I particularly love styling them with a more tailored piece on top, like this sculptural blazer.

On the fashion set:

It turns out that all you need to pull off super-roomy jeans is a fitted tee or flowy blouse topped off with a vest. Add a pair of sleek heels or boots and you've instantly pulled off the trend.

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...
