I'm the Director of Trends at a Shoe Company—These 3 Styles Have My Attention

Our fashion editors have been covering the key footwear trends of the season over the last few months, including the coveted sandal silhouettes and sneaker styles. Well, we thought we’d continue the conversation. Only this time, we wanted to get the sartorial perspective from another industry insider. We tapped Regina Popp, senior director of fashion and trend at shoe mecca DSW.

It is literally Popp’s job to lead a fashion team and direct the brand on noteworthy trends, so we thought her POV would be particularly intriguing. She shared with us the three key shoe styles she’s absolutely loving at the moment and thinks you might be interested too. The picks really do run the gamut, including statement-making styles as well as versatile options.

"With the sun shining and brighter days ahead, beach-to-barbecue slides are an easy throw-on staple. Birkenstock offers comfy Eva classics in pop colors that are destined to brighten your day, and I will be sporting these beach-ready slides in hot pink. Will also be purchasing lilac (a color trend of the moment)." — Popp
"It's all about sneakers. For a fresh pair of white sneaks this spring, try a platform Converse with a floral-print prairie dress or a retro jogger with cutoffs or a tennis skirt. Keep it neutral with classic white or subtle off-white to tan options." — Popp
"Strappy sandals and slides continue to have a moment. Skinny straps plus a square toe make up a modern version of strappy sandals that looks both sophisticated and chic. Toe rings, thongs, and ties up the leg are also trending." — Popp
A timeless choice.
Can't go wrong with Dr. Martens.
Spot-on.
Simple yet striking.
The pop of pink is a nice touch.
These will go with so many outfits.

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...
