Is Paige DeSorbo living in an alternate reality where cardigans are actually appropriate for summer, or are we just not fashionable enough to understand her genius? The Summer House alum just declared a ridiculously affordable $30 cardigan her new obsession, and we have SO many questions about her thermal regulation.
Listen, we LOVE a good deal as much as the next fashion-obsessed gossip junkie, but Paige taking to social media to gush about a budget-friendly cardigan being “perfect” and “a staple even in the summer” has us absolutely cackling. Girl, it’s July! Most of us are melting into puddles in our homes, desperately clinging to our air conditioning units like they’re expensive handbags, but here comes Paige strutting around in a cardigan like she’s filming Gilmore Girls in Stars Hollow during autumn.
The “Winter House” queen apparently didn’t get the memo that summer is supposed to be hot. While the rest of the reality TV world is showcasing their skimpiest bikinis and barely-there sundresses, Paige is out here treating her closet like it’s perpetually stuck in cozy sweater season. And honestly? The audacity. The confidence. The complete disregard for meteorology.
What really gets us is how she’s positioning this $30 find as a “staple.” A staple! Like every fashionable woman needs to rush out RIGHT NOW and stock up on cardigans for their summer wardrobes. Our fashion editors are having an absolute MELTDOWN in the GossipWorld offices trying to figure out if this is genius minimalism or if Paige is just always cold and we never noticed.
The Summer House fandom has already split into two camps: those who think Paige is an innovative style icon who’s transcended seasonal fashion norms, and those who believe she’s simply lost her mind in the New York humidity. One Twitter user wrote, “Paige invented fashion,” while another questioned, “Is she okay?” The discourse is REAL, people.
We have to admit though, the price point is pretty iconic. In an era where celebrities are hawking $200 basics, seeing Paige get genuinely excited about a $30 piece is almost refreshing. Even if she’s wearing it in temperatures that would make normal humans spontaneously combust.
What do you think? A) Paige is a genius style maverick who’s revolutionizing how we think about seasonal fashion B) She’s absolutely unhinged and cardigans belong in winter only
