I Need to Talk About These Olsen-Approved Basics—Let's Discuss

I have to admit two things. First, I’ve been a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen since day one. I grew up watching their movies, studying their style, and imitating my fair share of their outfits over the years. Who could forget their amazing early ‘2000s style after they moved to NYC that was centered around pieces like draped coats and live-in tees? It will forever be iconic in my mind. Second, I’ve also been a fan of The Row since they launched the brand. They have a mastery of basics that comes down to incredible quality and perfect styling. If you’re looking for the perfect anything, they have it mastered.

Diving into their recent F/W 21 collection, I was reminded of just how good they are at designing incredible basics that really nail how women want to dress. The collection has impeccable tailoring, but relaxed silhouettes and indulgent fabrications—tapping into the movement towards comfortable clothing in the most polished, fashion-forward way possible. Also of note? Many of the pieces are plucked straight from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s personal wardrobes. Let’s dive in.

Slouchy trousers are one of the biggest spring trends, period. For fall, The Row is keeping up the trend's momentum with an emphasis on wide-leg silhouettes with a slight flare and pooled hems. You can find a range of finishes in The Row's collection, ranging from polished trousers to more relaxed jeans.

A maxi skirt is a piece I've never owned and I have to admit that it has always seemed a little tricky to pull off, so I haven't been rushing to buy one. After seeing this piece in The Row's latest collection, though, I'm convinced that it's the cool new basic to own that can be pulled off with simply an oversize button-down down and a pair of heels or knee-high boots.

As we saw with many designers on the S/S 21 runways, oversize button-down shirts are the basics trend that is about to be everywhere. While we can expect to see it on the fashion set this spring, now that they have been spotted in The Row's F/W 21 collection, you can bet that they'll have a long shelflife. I especially love how it was styled with a maxi skirt and will be adding that into my arsenal of outfit ideas to try out.

Relaxed (yet tailored) pieces are a hallmark of The Row. With a focus on polished, comfortable pieces, they've designed a stunning collection of outerwear that is sure to inspire how the fashion set get dressed through the end of the year. The standout item? Draped coats with a slightly upsized fit.

If you look back at photos back through the years, a structured tote is the bag both Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen carry nine times out of ten. The practical bag is also timeless and endlessly chic, so you can rest assured that you'll own it forever once you make the investment.

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...
