I'm a 57-Year-Old New Yorker—These Dress Trends Are Absolutely Ageless

Elaine Davis's Instagram account, @squarepearls, is one of our go-tos when we're looking for effortless style inspiration. While age certainly shouldn't have anything to do with how you dress, as she is over 50, her more experienced sartorial perspective is intriguing. She's also lived in New York City for decades, so she totally gets that whole comfy-meets-chic thing for the on-the-go lifestyle. She actually recently shared with us the one piece she's wearing on repeat right now. Yep, the one-and-done summer dress.

"Summer is that season where I want as many things as possible to be easy in my life, and wearing a great dress is one of those things that makes getting ready easy," she said. "Summer 2021 has brought on a resurgence of ageless dress trends, and I'm just loving it." There are actually six key dress trends Davis is turning to this season. Many of the picks included in this edit could really work for a range of styles.

Keep scrolling to check out chic dress trends, complete with visual and shopping inspiration.

"The shirred-waist sundress is one of my all-time favorites. I call them my town and country dresses. They're just so comfy and chic."
"I'm absolutely loving the cutout-dress trend. So many silhouettes, lengths, and fabrics, there's something for everyone." 
"Nap dresses are still a thing, and that makes me happy." 
"A flowy maxi dress can take you from beach day to dinner party. They just scream effortless ease and elegance."
"When I want to look casual yet elevated, all while staying cool, I reach for a crochet dress."
"One can never go wrong with a shirtdress… They're so versatile. The possibilities are just endless."

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 .
