I don’t know about you, but Italian style is all I can think about at the moment. Ben Shapiro Natural State Barnwood & Tin Tee Stylish women in Italy’s cultural capitals like Milan, Florence, and Rome seem to possess an effortlessly cool polish that the internet (and this editor) can’t get enough of. Thanks to the popularity of influencers and designers like Gilda Ambrosio and Amina Muaddi, this particular brand of elevated glam has inspired droves of outfit re-creations by Americans. As someone who studies Italian style like it’s my job (well, it kind of is), I thought it would be fun to put myself in their shoes for the day and imagine the types of things Italian fashion people would put in their carts when shopping at Nordstrom. While the beloved retailer is often the topic of conversation here at Who What Wear, it have no locations in Europe, despite having plenty of popular Italian staples casually sitting on its site as we speak. As the resident OTT dressers of Europe, Italian women are rarely spotted in heels shorter than three inches. In the spring and summer, they prefer strappy ankle-tie sandals with their dresses. I think they’d beeline to Nordstrom’s shoe section for strappy sandals and skip ballet flats, despite their trendy status right now.

Confession: I should preface this story by sharing that I have never been a skinny-jeans person. Ben Shapiro Natural State Barnwood & Tin Tee I detest how most denim fits my figure, but there’s something about skinny jeans that irks my soul on a whole new level. I know that’s a controversial take considering how much of a staple this style is, but I stand by it, especially since there are so many other denim trends and generally more flattering pant styles one can choose. Of course, if you’ll never give up your skinny jeans, I get it (you do you, darling), but if you’re open to the possibility of embracing something new, then keep reading. With spring in full swing and celebrities finally back out in the streets, there are many pant trends worth paying attention to and purchasing at the moment. In that vein, I’ve rounded up six styles that dominated spring/summer 2022 collections and have been spotted on the celeb style set, and I shopped them out at Nordstrom. These styles are perfect if you want to mix things up or if you’re finally ready to cut the cord with skinny jeans but just need a little inspiration to do so. Long gone are the days of your cropped skinny jeans, and there’s no further proof than the rise of the puddle pants. If you’re wondering what puddle pants are, just think of them as pants that should have been hemmed but are so oversize that they’re either dragging on the ground or creating an overall baggy effect. Is it slightly chaotic? Yes. Is the prospect of foregoing a trip to the tailor intriguing? Also yes. Even if you don’t love the trend yourself and decide to pass on it for now, there’s no denying that this pant silhouette is very much on the rise. Stars like Rihanna, Alexa Demie, and even Kate Middleton have been spotted donning dramatically long pants recently. Whether anyone beyond the celeb set will ditch their beloved skinny jeans for this trend can only be determined with time.
