Truth be told, I have been modelling all my lockdown outfits after this Jennifer Lopez throwback look, perhaps without knowing it. She wore this longline cardigan, buttoned only at the top, over a pair of silk lounge pants at ShoWest '96 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Either the image has been subconsciously planted in my head in a dream or this minimalist, monochrome loungewear style is just back again, plain and simple. While Jennifer opted for a soft lilac set, I'm now determined to find matching cardigans for all my satin trousers in every colour of the rainbow.

"This effortless mood is so my move."

JLo's loose pants skimmed the floor, but still allowed us a peek at her heeled sandals and lavender metallic toe polish — this being a beauty move we'd see carried right into the early aughts. There's no denying that the silhouette of a cardigan that's extended a few inches, flowing right over the hips, elongates the frame — especially when part of a monochrome ensemble. While I might be wearing my makeshift coordinates with slippers and a lacy bralette that peeks out ever-so-slightly from my neckline, this effortless mood is so my move. How about a round of applause for some A+ JLo fashion nostalgia?
