The Highly Specific Summer Trend I See Everywhere and Am Oddly Obsessed With

You know when you see a piece that gets your attention—whether it's part of a trend or something more specific such as a buzzy new Zara top—and then suddenly feel like you're seeing it everywhere? Well, whether you can relate or not, let's just say that's precisely what I'm currently experiencing with patchwork jackets, which, as a result, are the topic of today's post. After I saw one in an actual store window last month and started thinking that I really should add one to my wardrobe, it quickly became apparent that they're not so hard to come by, as they happen to be quite trendy right now along with all things patchwork.   

What I love about the light layer (besides the fact that, according to the runways, it's also poised to continue trending for fall/winter 2021) is that it can really work for any style. Whether you're a vintage lover, are into all things new and luxe, or are on a never-ending quest to emulate the newly popularized Gen Z aesthetic, somehow, there's a patchwork jacket that will work for you. To see and shop 21 options I'm loving and, of course, get a little styling inspo along the way, just keep scrolling. 

I shouldn't pick favorites, but I think I just did.
You can always count on Urban.
This really works for any season.
Thank you, Zara.
This can work for chilly summer nights but is also worth snagging now and saving for fall.
An easy addition to your daily jeans-and-tee uniform.
Not mad at a tonal option.
Technically, this is a men's jacket, but who is that stopping?
Too good.
This looks like it could have come from decades of saved textiles.
I'm into this subtler nod, too.
It's the unexpected color combination for me.
Another great option from Sea.
Etro is actually a longtime expert in patchwork pieces. 
Another contender for the "buy now, wear come fall" category.
You can never go wrong with denim.
It's so classic and cool at the same time.
Leave it to Free People to show you how to style a jacket with a bikini.
Don't forget the matching shorts!
These shades of blue will go with all your favorite jeans and jorts.
For those who really want to commit.

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...
