5 Wardrobe Staples I'm Buying Before I Turn 30 Next Month

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

Listen, I'm all about the idea of ageless fashion. I'm a firm believer that you should wear whatever you feel comfortable in, but for many of us, that does indeed change as we get older. It's not so much about "dressing your age"—whatever that means—it's about wearing only what you truly love, spending money on pieces you can wear all the time, and treating yourself to someone fancy every now and then. 

Below, I've rounded up 5 staples I'm zeroing in on as I approach my 30th birthday. Some of them are closet upgrades that I definitely deserve, while others are practical pieces that I'll get a ton of mileage out of. Scroll down to shop my picks. 

As I get older, I appreciate functionality more and more. I used to spend money on frivolous pieces that I'd only wear for super-specific occasions, but now I'm all about true wardrobe basics that I can get a ton of use out of. Shirt-jackets hybrids fit the bill perfectly.

Nothing ages you faster than too much UV exposure. I've started caring less about "ruining" an outfit with a hat and more about protecting my skin from the sun with cute baseball caps, bucket hats, and straw hats. It's something I wish I did more of when I was younger, but it's never too late. 

Raise your hand if you still sleep in your old college T-shirts. (Bonus points if you have some from high school in the rotation too.) While I love a broken-in tee as much as the next person, as I've gotten older I've come to value high-quality sleep pieces like silk shirts and pillowcases to make bedtime feel like a luxury. 

In the name of comfort, I've been wearing heels less and less as I get older. They're not the type of shoes I wear just for me, so I'd like to change that and get used to wearing flats to all types of occasions, including dressier ones. 

I love go-anywhere dresses that work for literally anything you have planned. Fussy, too-short, see-through, ultra-revealing, and uncomfortable dresses just aren't appealing to me for everyday wear anymore.

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...
