Fashion & Style

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Alyssa Hardy has spent her career reporting on the less glamorous side of the fashion industry, whether it’s the environmental impact of fast fashion or the fight for garment workers’ rights. With her first book, Worn Out: How Our Clothes Cover

This season, city streets have been practically overflowing with the best loafers in every style and color. We have spotted everything from classic penny loafers all the way to acid-green lug soles. Whether you tend to stick to the classics or prefer to take fashion risks, there is a style for everyone—we mean it. Estrop

Spiros Halaris When the pandemic hit and Dylan Mulvaney lost her job touring with the musical Book of Mormon, she turned to the nation’s arguably biggest stage: TikTok. Now, Mulvaney has become one of the platform’s viral stars, garnering eight million followers with her series, “Days of Girlhood,” where she makes videos highlighting her journey

Over the weekend, all anyone could talk about on Fashion Twitter was Bottega Veneta. Creative director Matthieu Blazy’s sophomore collection for the Italian brand set the Internet ablaze with accolades over his modern take on wardrobe dressing, moving past clichés of the term and creating clothes for now and forever. The new “trend,” in fact,

Say what you will about the winter months. Some love the snowy weather and holidays, while others would rather hibernate than deal with frigid temps and 4:30 p.m. sunsets. (Hi, it’s me.) But one thing we can all appreciate is wintry dressing, and the fashion trends for winter 2022 are forecasted to be nothing short

As of this week, it’s officially fall. Despite our excitement about apple cider donuts and sweater weather, we can’t help but think about what comes next. With global fashion weeks rolling towards a close, spring trends are top of mind. Tastemakers are taking to the runways and streets, and we’re taking notes. We’ve got you

Who among us doesn’t have a soft spot for footwear? For all that fashion month is—and it is many, many things—it’s both the best and worst occasion for anyone with a shoe habit. The spring/summer 2023 showings have been no exception, and the outlook for the season’s shoe trends is a beautiful one indeed. What

School is back in session, bringing with it new opportunities, fresh outfits and accessories, and a chance to set new goals. For model and activist Noëlla Coursaris Musunka, it’s a time of year to encourage her kids to excel in their studies, and to be just as focused giving back and expressing themselves, too. Coursaris

Some cosmic joke must be afoot, because while I’m on the phone with Sarah Jaffe, Sheryl Sandberg announces she’s stepping down from her powerful perch as the COO of Meta. The on-the-nose death knell of the Lean In era is appropriate, because Jaffe and I are having an extremely real conversation about women and work.

Blazers and sweaters get all the glory when planning your fall wardrobe. Then, once the holidays are in full swing, coats and party dresses steal the spotlight. But when it comes down to elevating any autumn look, it’s all about the shoes. Whether you’re styling looks for the office once again or starting the winter

Let’s be real: Nothing is a more universal conversation starter than, “Where’d you get that bag?” These upcoming winter bag trends make for the best ice breakers, no matter the temperature. There’s a trend for you regardless of your aesthetic, whether you’re a wannabe coastal grandmother or more Euphoria-friendly. What makes bags fun is that

Known for her laidback “cool mom” style, actress Jennifer Garner is all about classic comfort. More often than not, her everyday uniform seems to consist of running sneakers, a simple blouse or tee, and oversized jeans or yoga pants. And now, a pair of leggings she recently wore from Alo Yoga can be yours for

After hooking bargain-hungry shoppers with creations from big-name designers like Christopher John Rogers, Missoni, and LoveShackFancy in past seasons, Target is back this fall with an enticing new chapter in its designer collaboration lineup. For the Fall Designer Collection, the big-box brand has tapped Sergio Hudson, Kika Vargas, and La Ligne, each high-fashion labels with

There were actually two queues the day before the Queen’s funeral in London. The first was the main one, the queue with a capital Q, where Brits (including David Beckham) stood for 12 hours to walk by a coffin that—according to every seasoned cab driver I had—was actually empty. (“Her Majesty’s corpse is already resting

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. The fashion moment that seemed to galvanize the most people this season didn’t take place on the runway. When, on what happened to be the last day of New York Fashion Week, Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard announced that the eco-minded outdoor

While the fashion industry has made progress in terms of diversity, it still has a long way to go before one can confidently say that it is a world for everyone. And, like most monumental changes to the status quo, shifting the needle towards inclusivity requires fresh minds with new perspectives, like those of Siying

Stepping into Selkie’s spring/summer 2023 show venue was akin to joining an unapologetic celebration of all shapes, sizes, and forms of femininity. Not just because of the casting, but the audience itself was a true testament to the cult-like following of the brand that founder Kimberley Gordon has created. At any other fashion event, you

It Bags were over in 2008, or so declared trend pieces in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. In the face of the biggest financial collapse since the Great Depression, the very notion of those symbols of turn-of-the-century conspicuous consumption—the Fendi Baguettes, the Chloé Paddingtons, the Dior Saddles, and many others that cost

Kathryn Wirsing 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 with Aya Kanai, whose passion for visual art has taken her from the world of puppet theater to high-rise offices at some of the

Few designers today tread the line of bad taste and good taste like Tom Ford. In fact, he’s been doing it for almost 40 years now, since working for brands like Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci. He defined, then redefined, then redefined again what the modern woman wants and needs. In Ford’s mind’s eye, she

It’s been a busy year for Hailey Bieber, to say the very least. Between launching her critically-acclaimed (and frequently sold-out) skincare line Rhode and becoming a Tiffany & C0. ambassador, the multi-hyphenate star remains one of the best-dressed celebs in the biz. Fitting, then, that she’s taking her know-how on the style front to basics

Ancient Egyptians venerated turquoise, working the vivid gem into jewelry and scarabs. (King Tut’s burial mask was even decorated with the stone.) These days, turquoise is enjoying a renaissance among jewelry designers, and Van Cleef & Arpels is leading the charge. With its 12-piece Perles d’été high jewelry collection, the French brand showcases the motif

It would be infuriating that Natasha Lyonne hasn’t fronted a major fashion campaign yet, except the one she finally landed is just so good. As the new face of COS, the actress / director / producer stares down a camera lensed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Camilla Nickerson. In the images, Lyonne wears a

Finding a good pair of jeans is the sartorial equivalent of locking down a best friend. Both should be trusty, long-lasting, and supportive no matter what. Once you find one, it’s for life. In honor of Cowgirl Couture season, we talked to four real-life barrel racers about their go-to denim for ELLE.com’s latest installment of

Getty + Design Leah Romero As cooler weather starts to roll in, nothing feels more fall than cozying up in a trusty pair of boots and a denim blouse. Cowgirl Couture season has officially galloped in with a full-force howdy. But don’t let preconceived notions of poofy prairie dresses turn you off from Western wear.

It’s Cowgirl Couture season, y’all. From Lucchese boots to wide-brimmed Stetsons, ELLE is your destination for all things Western wear. Read more about Cowgirl Couture here.

It’s Cowgirl Couture season, y’all. From Lucchese boots to wide-brimmed Stetsons, high-fashion this fall is all about rodeo wear. Read more about Cowgirl Couture here. The camera slowly pans in on Beyoncé wearing shades and a sleek black cowgirl hat. Her arm raises to reveal the majestic drape of fringe from her leather jacket, a

Please excuse any typos, I’m writing this while devouring the free snacks on JetBlue. An off-brand Cheese-It in the sky? That’s show business, baby. I’m jetting (in coach) back to my normal, sweaty, unfashionable life in L.A., where every single day I wear the same gray sweatsuit. I lie to people and tell them I

If I told you that Carolina Herrera’s spring/summer 2023 collection was full of florals, I know what you’d say: Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. But actually, they were groundbreaking! Inspired by the classic novel The Secret Garden, creative director Wes Gordon’s gorgeous collection of breezy, blooming prints seemed so vibrant and so alive that they practically

To most of the world, Gisele Bündchen is a bona fide supermodel—so famous she doesn’t need a last name. But to nine-year-old Vivian, Bündchen is better known as Mommy. And on a recent summer day in Paris, Mommy was up to something strange. Bündchen brought her along to a fashion shoot for the first time
