Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. There’s a memorable photo of Dame Vivienne Westwood, her towering platform heels edging their way out of a gilded frame, a painting come to life. It was a promotional stunt for the designer’s Swatch collaboration in 1992—and it feels like the

After bidding the holiday season adieu, we’ve entered the Twilight Zone-like period between Christmas and New Year’s. A series of days where sweatpants are worn with pride, work inboxes are gleefully ignored, and leftovers are consumed like nothing else in your fridge exists. It’s also the period where glorious post-holiday sales return, the top-billing star

Ah, yes. The time has come to look forward to the new year. In fashion, that means taking a look at the best 2023 fashion trends to come. I know, I know; with the way the trend cycle is going, it’s getting tough to keep up. Not to worry—you’ve come to the right place. We

That’s why we tapped Sophia Roe, a James Beard award-winning chef and Emmy-nominated host, to share some of her gifting tips. You might’ve seen some

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,

I will forever love Sleeper for bringing “party pajamas” and “black tie pajamas” into the sleepwear conversation. Right now, you can save some serious cash on a selection of the brand’s sets during Saks Fifth Avenue’s designer sale. Beloved by celebrities, influencers, and editors (!), Sleeper sets took off in popularity during the pandemic, unsurprisingly,

Sustainability is big news. In addition to grabbing headlines, it’s become a huge consideration in how people shop. A recent poll found that more than a third of millennial and Gen Z shoppers want brands to create products that are eco-friendly and ethical. When it comes to natural fabrics like bamboo, cotton and wool, it’s

Imagine you are hopped up on cough syrup awaiting the results of a Covid test. (It will be negative, but you don’t know that yet.) You are swaddled in a blur of plaid wool blankets; your throat is happily numb from a slather of Vicks VapoRub. Then your phone rings and it’s Chloë Sevigny. She

If you had more shoes on your wishlist than goals for 2023, you’ve come to the right place. Shoes will make or break your outfit, your night, and your whole life if you let them. The runways—and the streets—of spring 2023 fashion month were stomped on by all kinds of footwear. And according to Ryan

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “I had a friend who was going back to work, who’d had a baby and was let go during the pandemic. And she literally said to me, ‘Will you just send me five links and I’ll buy those things?’” That was

It’s almost a new year, which means it’s time to get rid of all the baggage of 2022 and enter 2023 with, well, fresh baggage—handbags, that is. You can’t always get a new start emotionally, but at least you can have a fun new accessory to help you fulfill your resolutions (I stand by cute

Fashion has officially become infatuated with the idea of archives. It’s wildly ubiquitous; now as common as a pair of jeans or an old leather belt stashed in the back of your closet. From people on TikTok marveling over their personal collections and labeling items down to the minute details of exact season and runway

Despite waxing nostalgic about the glory days of Laguna Beach on her new podcast Back to the Beach, Kristin Cavallari has come a long way from Southern California. Now based in Nashville, she’s the founder and CEO of lifestyle brand Uncommon James—which spans jewelry, home goods, and clean skincare—and is currently wrapping up her third

In case you missed it, Chopard quietly opened its new flagship boutique in the iconic Crown Building on New York City’s Fifth Avenue. It marks an exciting—and historic—move for the haute jewelry and watchmaking house, from its former home of 15 years on Madison Avenue. To fête the occasion, co-presidents Caroline and Karl-Friedrich Scheufele invited

Leather and lace. Salty and sweet. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. All unlikely—yet unmatched—pairings. We’ve admittedly been fascinated by the friendship between the two American icons ever since Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party aired back in 2016. Like many duos, the qualities that make them different are just as interesting as those they have

Whether it’s a dazzling emerald engagement ring or a ruby heirloom necklace, a bright piece of jewelry can instantly elevate any outfit. And these precious gems are far more than just beautiful to look at—each gemstone, created deep within the earth over millions of years, is totally distinctive, which means there is a magic to

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. After producing her beloved, ’90s-inspired namesake line for a decade, Jennifer Chun was getting a little burned out. The process had become “so routine that I wasn’t thinking outside the box anymore,” she recalls. “I would produce two seasons and then

Chloe Kim has never been afraid to fall down (she always gets back up), nor to ask for food in the middle of a press conference (she’s frequently hungry, she said…), even less to perform unbelievable tricks, spins, and flips that she alone masters (at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, no less). Not even gravity

I don’t recall when they first appeared, only that one day they didn’t seem to exist and the next they were everywhere. I spotted them—glittering, candy-colored pendants—first adorning the necks of my younger cousins, who were in high school at the time. They tapped their Elisa necklaces with absent fingertips, and when they laughed, their

Just look at her latest collection, CeLOUbrations, which fêtes her first decade in business. And when the occasion in question becomes the entire holiday season, she’s the perfect person to ask.

My first love was a pair of Birkenstocks. I was on the brink of tweenhood taking cues from the cool older kids at my school, where, seemingly, one shoe was part of the mandated uniform: the Birkenstock Boston clog. The teens of the time insisted on wearing these so much that the principal eventually accepted

They say history is doomed to repeat itself, but to simply say that Hedi Slimane is repeating himself would be trite. Indie sleaze has been the trend on everyone’s tongue recently, inspiring a social media rehash surrounding the hazy days of the mid-aughts. But nobody knows it better than Slimane himself, who curated and perfected

Diamonds are definitely a girl’s best friend, but a watch may be her best investment. Kristen Shirley recognizes that the world of watches is one shrouded in mystery and filled with machismo that makes buying a watch daunting if you’re new to the game. Shirley, an ELLE alum and industry veteran, set out to lift

You’ve probably seen them plastered across your Instagram feed or on the heels of your favorite influencers: chunky platforms, knee-length boots, and mules in bold patterns that range from gingham to daisies, in playful silhouettes drenched in eye-popping shades like fuchsia and metallic silver. The brand? Larroudé. Over the past two years, the ’70s-influenced footwear

You’ve undoubtedly heard the term, but auras remain an abstract concept for most of us. A form of energy, auras are said to be colorful emanations that surround the bodies of all living things. (Even animals!) An aura is felt—only psychics and readers are privy to physically seeing them—and can tell you more about a
