We May Have Expensive Taste, But These Affordable Buys Are Winning Us Over
If there's one thing my fellow editors and I are good at, it's the art of spotting an affordable fashion buy that could pass as a luxury one. Since we spend many hours a week putting together trend reports and shopping edits, we can spot those details that make a piece look elevated. And on this particular occasion we're not only calling attention to a few expensive-looking finds we think you need to see but we're putting them to the test and trying them on IRL. Yep, we're back this month with our try-on series and nothing you're about to see tops $40.
Okay, here's the tea: excuse us for a little shameless self-promo but the items in question are from our very own Who What Wear x Target line. That said, we'd still call these out for their elevated vibe even we weren't editors for the brand. Now let's get into the good stuff: the latest drop comprises flowy dresses and pretty puff sleeve moments that align with the biggest summer trends of the moment. So once our editors got their hands on these new pieces, it was game over for the rest of our summer 'fits because we realized these pieces will be working overtime. Ahead, see how we're styling our picks and shop them, too, if you're so inclined.
"In the summer, I always rely upon a few no-fuss dresses that I can throw on and dress up or down depending upon the occasion—and this WWWC dress has earned its place in the rotation. I love that the fabric is not only breathable (it kept me cool during a historically hot and humid NYC week), but the fit is everything. Unlike some maxi dresses that give off the potato sack vibe, it's fitted in the bodice and tapers out, so it strikes a balance perfectly between fashionable and functional. No matter if you choose to dress it up with fun metallic accessories (like I did) or throw on your favorite thong flats, you can't go wrong with this dress for the summer. ""I've been collecting billowy dresses this season, and this gingham one is a great addition. It's a super wearable print in colors that are also...super wearable. What can I say, this dress is the definition of throw on and go!"“I love dresses and I love layering, but the two often don’t mix in the summertime. Except for strappy numbers like this one. It’s light enough to layer over a top but for those who want to wear as is—it’ll look just as perfect.”Normally, the distinction between my daytime wardrobe and my going-out wardrobe is crystal clear—the concept of day-to-night dressing has always been lost on me. That is, until now. This little strapless number effortlessly toes the line between casual and more elevated. The lightweight shape is perfect for hot weather with slides and a bucket hat as I wore here but at the same time, it has some nice waist-defining smocking that could quickly feel nighttime-ready."Unfortunately, I don't have any tropical vacations planned this summer, but hey, at least I have this dress! It gives me those tropical, beachy vibes that I'm currently dreaming of. The print is so fun and summery, and I love the details like the statement sleeves and the sweetheart-esque neckline with a bow. I'm definitely going to wear this for a summery dinner with friends.""This is the ideal black dress for summer. It's so crisp and lightweight, and the apron-style front with the ruffled sleeves makes it the perfect amount of trendy. I'd pair it with New Balance sneakers to mimic all the cool Scandi girls."
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...

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...
