This $45 Old Navy Cardigan Feels Like Athleisure but Looks Like Luxury

As a former New Yorker, I don't own a lot of colorful clothing. I'm a neutrals kind of gal with a preference for all-black everything - but I'm trying hard to change that, especially since spring is near. Right now, it also just so happens that everyone's talking about the dopamine dressing trend for 2022, aka the art of dressing in bold, colorful pieces that boost our mood. With this in mind, I've been slowly but surely adding some color to my wardrobe. And so far, so good.

My latest investment? Old Navy's Brushed Shaker-Stich Cardigan ($45), which caught my eye for its overwhelming amount of five-star reviews. So despite my natural inclination to buy it in black or cream, I pressed "Add to Bag" in a pink color dubbed Dried Rose. It felt like the perfect piece to own as we transition from winter to spring. (As someone who lives in the Midwest, spring temps aren't always so lovely. But at least I can dress the part, color-wise?)

When the cardigan arrived, I was pleased to discover it was really thick and super cozy - I honestly didn't expect it to be as such. The silhouette features chic blouson sleeves that don't feel uncomfortably tight on your arms and rib-knit cuffs that are the perfect length. Everything about the fit was *chef's kiss* perfection, and I couldn't wait to team it with my favorite pair of Old Navy jeans (particularly the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Ripped Wide-Leg ($50) style).

As for the color? It's growing on me even more by the minute. There was a second in which I considered exchanging it for cream, but if there's anyone who needs some more color in their wardrobe, it's me. (I may or may not be planning a weekend trip to Old Navy to scoop it up in another hue.) But as for the pink, it's undeniably pretty and perfect for spring, and it has this neutral-loving editor's seal of approval.

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...
