Fashion & Style

First comes love, then comes marriage. And a marriage celebration is, more often than not, observed with a wedding or wedding reception. If you’ve seen 27 Dresses, you know that the theme or dress code of a wedding can vary pretty considerably based on the individuality of the happy couple, so figuring out what to

She is forever on a quest to find the best in

You could assume designers and editors dictate what’s “in,” and consumers sheepishly just follow along. Sometimes, though, it’s the opposite. For decades, brands have instead relied on everyday trailblazers. Remember Malcolm Gladwell’s viral New Yorker story “The Coolhunt”? It’s still eerily relevant over 25 years later. For time immemorial, trendsetters have set trends (as they

Summer is your time to shine, especially if you love jewelry. Sure, you might have your favorite year-round pieces, but the hotter months are the best time to mix things up, especially when it comes to what’s new and next in terms of summer 2023 jewelry trends. Whether you have subtler tastes or favor bold

We don’t have the exact number, but we’re pretty confident in saying that three years into the “new normal,” most of us are avoiding underwire bras at all costs. As the world shifted into a more prominent work-from-home culture, uncomfortable, tight undergarments lost their power over us. The trend of dressing more comfortably has led

GLEAM TEAM Past, present, and future collide in a season filled with precious-metal finishes. N21 by Alessandro Dell’acqua pre-fall 2023.Courtesy of N21 Any silhouette—from a winged goddess to wired headphones—can transform when dipped in precious metal, alchemically turning the everyday into the eternal. Valdé Beauty did just that to the humble lipstick case, crafting its

You’ve probably heard of the Aritzia Melina pant by now. (If you haven’t, where exactly have you been?) The best-selling style from the Canadian fashion brand’s Wilfred line went viral on TikTok over the pandemic and has since graced the gams of Megan Fox, not to mention cool girls all over the world. And it

It wasn’t entirely clear if Gucci and Adidas would release a second part to their collaboration, but that’s exactly what just happened…and it’s an absolute blessing. The legendary fashion house and iconic sportswear brand unveiled their first collection in February 2022 at Milan Fashion Week. For obvious reasons, the mash-up became the apple of every

When Manfred Thierry Mugler passed away last year, he was in the early stages of a new project. A collaboration with H&M—one that will bring the ultra-viral, outré brand to a wider audience—was one of the last things the iconic designer worked on with Casey Cadwallader, Mugler’s creative director. “It was so great that we

When considering new investments for your wardrobe, there are quite a lot of hero items to consider. Do I drop half a paycheck on a new coat? Is it time to think about replacing those year-old boots? Or, do I turn my sights to a new bag? This season, the answer is the latter. Bottega

Iconic Americana and Tommy Hilfiger are synonymous and neither goes out of style. To keep the look current, it’s all about modern tweaks to renew the throwback vibe, so it’s no surprise we’re obsessing over the new Tommy Hilfiger x Shawn Mendes collection. This collab of 28 items delivers fresh foundational pieces infused with TH’s

The fashion industry experienced a first on Thursday: Dior showed their Pre-Fall collection in Mumbai, marking the first time a major fashion label outside of India has shown in the country. The large island city hosted a bevy of stars, from Bollywood and beyond, and industry insiders to take in creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s

Getting dressed to head into the office during the summer is no easy task, especially considering most of us are already dragging our feet on the way there. You want to wear something that will keep you cool during a commute or extended lunch break, but you’ll probably find yourself reaching for your favorite sweater

Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial fashion editors, respectively, we know a thing or two about shopping—for all ages, and especially our demographics. As we find the best products for you, we can’t help but do a little shopping for ourselves and build our personal (age-appropriate) wish lists. And now,

In BC times (before children and—yes, shrug—before Covid), shoe shopping was an act of indulgent self-care. Sky-high pumps, over-the-knee boots, oversize platforms were equal recipients of “hello, lover,” equitable math equations (who said my tour of duty at an investment bank wasn’t a learning experience?), and my hard-earned cash money. Decades later, a peep in

This year is shaping up to be all about clownery in fashion. For Christopher John Rogers’ pre-fall 2023 collection, the designer unveiled a magical ivory white clown suit, replete with silk flowers for added drama. The theme of the clown has seemingly reached its sartorial peak: it was literally everywhere at the spring 2023 couture

Shoppers, rejoice! Today, Target announced the highly anticipated lineup for its spring designer collection—and it couldn’t be better. Editor-loved labels RHODE, Fe Noel, and Agua Bendita have officially been named as Target’s latest limited-time partners. All three companies are woman-founded and owned, so there’s no better way to round out Women’s History Month than with

I am a cold girl. As in, I’m cold all the time. I get chilly at the hint of a slight breeze, and I need an extra layer when the temperature drops below 70. Suffice to say, winters are hard. Having grown up in the tri-state area, I’ve learned to manage, but every time the

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. This season, fashion pulled a fast one. Dopamine dressing? Serotonin-seeking maximalism? Aughts bodycon? We don’t know her. Instead, trends were out and wardrobe-building was in; on the runways, stealth wealth reigned in a way it hasn’t since the glory days of

Over the last decade, we’ve all become increasingly well-informed about where, how, and by whom our clothing is manufactured. Activist Aditi Mayer has been one of the voices bringing attention to those questions. She began examining the historical, social, and political injustices that bolster the estimated $1.7 trillion industry in the wake of 2013’s Rana

Elizaveta Porodina Beauty compounds. That’s the theme of Wes Gordon’s latest campaign for Carolina Herrera (as in treatments formulated to deliver results). For their fifth collaboration since 2020, Gordon once again teamed up with photographer Elizaveta Porodina—but this time, to amplify the artistry of the designer’s resort and spring/summer 2023 collections, he tapped Dove Cameron

The Jikaria Sisters, reigning queens of the dance video and staying true to their own styles, are it rn. Their hook is super-fun clips that incorporate many styles of dance (seriously, we’re talking everything from classical Indian movement to hip-hop), performed in super cool spaces around their hometown of New York City. They take serious

There’s this look I can’t get out of my head lately. It defies neat categorization. Drenched. Asymmetrical. Slightly disheveled but in a considered, intentional way. SZA does a version of it in her music video for “Shirt” (the one where she and LaKeith Stanfield cycle through disguises and spray gunfire on everyone they meet). It’s

Halle Bailey, Hanni, and Julia Garner starring in a Gucci campaign together was definitely a surprise on my 2023 fashion bingo card, but noteworthy nonetheless. For the relaunch of the Horsebit 1955, the Italian house tapped the unexpected trio of zeitgeisty stars (Bailey will play Ariel in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid; Hanni,

KlevanG Everything Harry Styles wears becomes news fodder. Whether he’s rocking a dress or a Halloween costume, his fearless sartorial statements only make him more lovable in the eyes of his ever-growing fan base. You could argue his style is what he’s become known for in recent years—pre-Don’t Worry Darling press tour, at least—but OG

The babydoll dress swept through the spring 2023 runways like no other silhouette. From Loewe’s dynamic striped wonders to Versace’s Courtney Love-esque little nothings, loose-fitting, pint-sizes dresses with major volume quickly became the garment on everyone’s minds. And then, there was M3GAN, 2023’s lifelike AI doll horror heroine who proudly sports a pale pink silk

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Of all the things to re-enter the fashion chat for spring, an 18th-century accoutrement that has zero real-world practicality was probably not on anyone’s bingo card. Nevertheless, panniers, or hooped petticoats undergirding the hips, and their 16th- and 17th-century relatives, farthingales,

As cliché as it sounds, warm weather does feel like a breath of fresh air. After months of darkness, the moment the sun shines well into the evening, it’s all about outfit planning for balmy nights spent sitting outside at dinner with a drink and friends. To create actual looks this spring, update your closet

It’s official: the -cores are dead, and with their timely demise comes a resurgence of preppy, minimalist dressing that focuses on well-made pieces meant to stand the test of time (and trends). And Tommy Hilfiger, the American designer famous for pioneering the ’80s and ’90s prep aesthetic, knows a thing or two about timeless, perpetually

Courtesy of Madewell, Banana Republc and Kate Spade | Collage by Leah Romero I’m in need of a sartorial reset. Apparently, so is the rest of the fashion world. Yes, the runways are dotted with spectacles and performances worthy of endless social media posts. And yes, maximalism may always be in the trend rotation. But
