Shopping on a whim is my usual style.
But this fall, I’m trying something new—saving outfit ideas to plan better and stop my closet from overflowing with pretty but useless clothes. I noticed a trend: I’m really into menswear-inspired looks these days.
I keep pinning pictures of Julia Roberts in the ’90s because she’s got the straight-leg jeans and big blazers game down. Then, out of nowhere, I saw Lady Gaga rocking a look that was both surprising and super chic. Not one for simple styles usually, Gaga’s outfit at the Venice International Film Festival was a minimalistic masterpiece.
Lady Gaga.
Usually extravagant, her all-black ensemble—a neat T-shirt tucked into wide-leg trousers—was shockingly simple and elegant. Maybe it’s her alter ego Jo Calderone peeking through? Either way, I adored it.

Gaga’s simple two-piece look blew my mind because it balanced proportions perfectly. The snug top with roomy pants turned out stylish yet comfy. It made menswear pants look wearable instead of stiff or boring. Effortlessly cool is what I’d call it. 😎
Sometimes, we forget how impactful simplicity can be.
Emma Chamberlain’s stylist once said pleated wide-leg trousers suit everyone and are super versatile—Gaga just proved it! Don’t be shocked if you see me in these comfy pants with tees all month long. Check out some similar styles below:
