Fashion & Style

One of the main reasons I became a fashion editor was my fascination with personal style: clothes as a medium for self-expression. The first way we get to know someone (even before speaking to them) is simply by looking at their outfit. We often communicate who we are with our wardrobes—which can make developing your

Across the globe, women’s freedom is under attack. In the past year, as highlighted in the most recent UN Women’s Gender Snapshot Report, access to education, equal pay, financial independence, and religious choice were still denied to most women around the world. To inspire, embolden, give a voice to those who have none, in the

A Cecilie Bahnsen dress is impossible to miss.

When Kate Moss made a surprise appearance on Bottega Veneta’s spring 2023 runway, perhaps the biggest shock was what she was wearing. The icon who launched a thousand Pinterest boards had traded her glam It Girl ensembles for simple, oversize jeans and a Kurt Cobain–worthy flannel-print shirt. The moment turned out to be a trend

They are universally flattering; they do double, triple, or quad duty to go with every look; and they more often than not have an awesome origin story. The Lee Rider Jacket, an American classic, is one such treasure. Rooted in authentic cowboy culture—seriously, you had to prove your cowboy status before you could buy one

Well, if Jennifer Lopez wasn’t already considered one of the sexiest women on earth, she certainly is now.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “The primacy of clothes.” That was Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ stated starting point for their fall 2023 menswear collection back in January.

It wasn’t until James Joyce left Ireland that he wrote Ulysses and Dubliners, classics that embed themselves in the topography of his island home. He did so, says Jonathan Anderson, “via not being there, but meticulously being there,” tracing Dublin’s streets like a palm reader delineating not the future, but the past. Sometimes, Anderson says,

In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month we spoke to stylist and Emmy-winning costume designer Zerina Akers, who famously worked with Beyoncé on both Lemonade and Black Is King. In 2020, Akers took her work

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,

Some of the best shopping you’ll ever do is when things are instinctual—a see-it, need-it, get-it kind of situation. That’s what happened with me and this new dress from The Drop, the in-house Amazon fashion brand that’s quickly become a must-browse for trendy pieces that are well made and not wildly expensive. The Drop Daksha

While it’s tempting to spend the weekend clad in sweatsuits, making brief outings to and from the deli for requisite sustenance, lazy weekend dressing is on its way out. The act of getting dressed up for a weekend of nothing or everything is coming back full force, and Aritzia is here to lead the charge.

Miu Miu’s spring 2022 runway show helped set the agenda for a new wave of preppy style, from ribcage-grazing cropped tennis sweaters to pleated micro-mini skirts that would eventually appear in dozens of fashion editorials. The collection’s must-have factor extended all the way to the footwear. Models walked down this runway in distressed but also

While jewelry may not be the primary reason one attends a fashion show, you simply cannot deny the power it has to make an outfit. With that in mind, knowing the best fall 2023 jewelry trends is imperative to ensuring all your cold-weather ’fits have the right finishing touch. Among all the fall 2023 fashion

It’s hard not to be in awe of Naomi Osaka. The 25-year-old powerhouse tennis pro is a four-time Grand Slam singles champion with two US Open and two Australian Open titles. Oh, she’s also founded a skincare brand, a talent agency, and a girls’ tennis academy, and she’s written a children’s book. Last month, she

Fashion week in New York is a feast for the senses. All of the senses, really, but specifically, I’m talking about my shoeaholic senses. Each season, I go undercover (mentally) to roam the streets and shows of fashion week to report back to you, dear reader, all the trends you need to prepare for in

What happens to fashion when it’s sprinkled with a puff of pixie dust? The house of Etro, synonymous with finely tailored caftans, layers of paisley chiffon, and billowing beach ensembles, was long the wardrobe for high-toned hippies traveling the world. But with Marco de Vincenzo, the brand’s first creative director from outside the Etro family,

Quite frankly, if there’s one brand that’s got (what seems like) every person on this planet in a chokehold, it’s SKIMS—point blank, period. The Kim Kardashian-owned brand has truly mastered the art of making cute and extraordinarily comfortable shapewear, loungewear, intimates, and even swimwear. And I’ve got some exciting news for you: SKIMS has given

Shopping for yourself? A no-brainer. Shopping for others? That’s a whole other story. Whether you’re gifting your dad, sister, or life-long friend, securing the perfect present can feel more like a hike up the steepest mountain rather than a leisurely walk through the park. Enter: Amazon’s outlet store full of designer finds for everyone on

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Minimalism. Stealth wealth. Capsule wardrobes. All part of the less-is-more ethos that has, over the past few seasons, elbowed maximalism out of the way like a dawdling tourist. (And with the news that Phoebe Philo, the master of the form, is

Models falling, kicking off their heels, and visibly reaching out for help while on the verge of tears are everywhere right now, and it all has to do with the runway’s newest obsession: precarious heels. The biggest offender? Arguably Valentino, where multiple models fell hard on the spring 2023 runway, and then again during haute
