4 Summer Trends I'm Just Not in the Mood for This Year

I hate to sound like a broken record, but the pandemic has truly made me rethink all aspects of my closet. While I'm excited to wear all of the fancier items that have been collecting dust, I've also realized that I own far too many things that aren't practical for everyday wear. This summer, I have exactly three things in mind for the trends I want to wear: comfort, ease, and versatility. 

Obviously, comfort is the name of the game because I've spent the last year working from home in casual clothes, and I'm not ready to give up my stretchy pants. I'm also looking for easy-to-care-for items that don't require dry cleaning or handwashing because I have become extremely lazy during the pandemic and don't intend on changing that. Lastly, versatility is important because I don't want to spend my hard-earned money on things that can only be worn in very specific circumstances. Scroll down to see the four summer trends I'm not in the mood for and what I'm replacing them with. 

Although I firmly stand behind trends like crochet, cutouts, sheer dresses, and chain embellishments, I won't be buying them for myself if the items aren't machine washable. These pieces tend to be made with dry-clean-only materials like silk or with delicate details that call for handwashing. Post-pandemic, I want to wear things that are easy to style and simple to care for. No muss, no fuss. Below, I rounded up some pieces that are all machine washable. 

Although rompers can be comfortable, they're not practical when it comes to using public restrooms, changing on a road trip, or flying on a plane. Plus, they don't have as much ventilation as breezy dresses, so I end up getting too sweaty in the heat. This summer, I only want to wear things that are extremely versatile and that I can wear literally anywhere. 

The pandemic has made me realize how many fanciful pieces of jewelry I own that are not suited to everyday wear. Now, I am all about quality over quantity, and I want to save up for pieces that are heirloom quality and that I will treasure forever. 

In the words of Will Smith, "I'm gonna be real wit y'all—I'm in the worst shape of my life." Same. I fully support anyone who wants to wear a bikini at any point in their life, but this just isn't my time. Plus, there are so many fantastic, stylish one-pieces on the market that I truly don't even miss bikinis anyway.

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...
