As someone who lives for a good sale section, Memorial Day weekend (which falls on May 27-29 this year, just FYI) is one of my favorite times to shop. Timed right at the turn of the season, it’s the ideal time to score big on coats, cashmere sweaters, and other cold-weather essentials you’ll thank yourself

There are a lot of things that come to mind when contemplating the future of fashion.

A look from Roland Mouret pre-fall 2023.Courtesy of the designer In the darkest days of his career, Roland Mouret got a very welcome call. Han Chong, the owner of the brand Self-Portrait, was on the line. It was November 2021, and Mouret’s two-decade-old brand had just declared bankruptcy. Chong had an idea. But first, an

With the addition of “new mother” to my CV this year, my to-do list has amassed many new responsibilities that didn’t always clutter my (typically) well-managed workflow. To be clear: I’m not complaining. I couldn’t be more grateful. But as any parent will attest, child-rearing challenges make life feel foreign and chaotic. To color my

There’s something about Louis Vuitton and bridges. The brand memorably hosted its cruise 2018 show in Kyoto, at the wondrous Miho Museum, with models emerging from the mountains to walk down a suspension bridge, and now, in 2023, it decamped to Seoul to use the city’s Jamsugyo Bridge as its backdrop. Maybe it’s the way

There are few things fashion editors love more than a sitewide sale at one of our favorite brands.

Bruna Marquezine remembers the first Tiffany & Co. piece she ever bought. “On the very last day of a trip to New York, I really wanted diamond earrings before going home,” says the actress on the rise from Brazil. “I don’t come from a wealthy family—my mom never owned diamonds—so it was a proud moment

Here’s a fashion riddle: Name a brand that’s just as desirable to a Gen Z fashion lover as it is to a septuagenarian retiree. Pleats Please Issey Miyake, celebrating its 30th anniversary this month, has become exactly that—a line of amorphous, finely pleated, colorful garments that offer intergenerational appeal to creative types, young and old

Wardrobe foundations are the key to easy daily dressing. Mix-and-match is an artful magic that blends style and ingenuity. When you pair items in unexpected ways, each well-loved piece can feel fresh with every wear. And the start of spring is a natural time to refresh your routine. Why not start from the ground up

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your clothes when they no longer feel fit for your closet? It’s an interesting, and complicated, question to answer—and even more so when you factor in the many parts of the fashion cycle that are virtually unknown to most everyday shoppers. Sure, your well-loved pieces could go to

For a solid few months (read: all winter), Cult Gaia’s Nano rhinestone bag was hanging on the elbow of every influencer and Instagram starlet. It became a mainstay in OOTDs and GRWMs on TikTok FYPs everywhere (Did you get all that?). As a self-diagnosed frugal shopper, especially when it comes to It bags that tend

For my generation, Texas was such a charming place,” says Brunello Cucinelli, who grew up watching Westerns filmed in Europe and directed by Italians. “When we thought of America, we thought of Texas and of Sergio Leone films with Clint Eastwood. And then, of course, came Dallas.” It’s been 20 years since the Italian designer

Let the record show that there is nothing more powerful than a single Taylor Swift. Amid the news that the singer parted ways with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, Swifties have been reeling from the unexpected breakup.

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,

If you’re set on giving your wardrobe a summer refresh ahead of the season, allow me to give you a hand…bag. There are a lot of ways to give your closet an update, but when in doubt, you certainly can’t go wrong with a chic accessory. And, trust me, the biggest summer 2023 bag trends

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “Is this just another fad?” asked one Mary Quant ad, in a self-aware nod to the way the brand was often dismissed as a passing trend. But if you’ve ever worn a miniskirt, thrown on a pair of hot pants, or

Suddenly, everyone is wearing itty-bitty underwear in lieu of the pants that once were. At least on the runways. For fall 2023, Miu Miu sent out brainy, librarian-chic models wearing a collection that mused on normcore, plus a slew of final looks wholeheartedly devoted to beaded, sequined briefs worn bare or layered on top of
