The 9 Key Elements of My Post-Lockdown Wardrobe

I know this is an overstatement, but lately, every time I leave the house, I utter the ubiquitous phrase "I have nothing to wear". The reason being, over the course of the past year, with social events, trips, and fun nights out put on the backburner, all I seem to have bought was loungewear and house shoes. Based on the sheer number of stories Who What Wear has published about those two categories since March 2020, I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this. 

With vaccinations on the rise, the weather getting nicer, and cautiously hopeful rhetoric from doctors filling the airwaves, we're all looking forward to returning to some sense of normalcy this year. (Although it's, of course, important to keep wearing masks and avoiding crowded places, among other guidance, as advised by the CDC.) And with this new normal comes a need for some new wardrobe essentials. If you're of a similar mindset, read on to find out which items I recommend for reemerging back into the world, and shop them along with me.

My feet have become soft like the slippers that have encased them for the past year, so I'm easing back into wearing real shoes with low-heeled ones.

See-ya, sweatshirts. I'm stocking up on pretty warm-weather tops to wear with jeans and shorts. Luckily, there are tons of good ones to choose from right now.

Believe it or not, I'm ready to wear jeans again, but they have to be comfortable or I don't want 'em.

I have no desire to try to stuff my belongings into a teeny little bag anymore, so I'm shopping for roomy shoulder bags that scream spring.

I pretty much wear jackets year-round (thanks to A/C), so I'm on the hunt for lightweight ones that will add polish to casual outfits.

If ever there were a time to wear mood-boosting colors, it's now.

Cute, compliment-worthy accessories are at the top of my shopping list, including this adorable wine tote made for summer picnics.

I don't recall buying many dresses last year. That's about to change.

Here's hoping that 2021 brings a few more beach days than the previous year.

Next up, 25 things I wear the most as a fashion editor living in the South.

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...
