9 Styling Tips For Mastering a Business-Casual Outfit

May 04, 2022 at 10:05PM As that return-to-office date slowly creeps up on the calendar, so does the uncertainty about what to wear. Whether your employer has reestablished a new dress code or you’re expected to go by the same rules, it’s probably time to freshen up your closet with more office-ready apparel. Business-casual clothing should be comfortable, while still helping you achieve a polished look: think blazers, tailored skirts, pantsuits, and sheath dresses that fit well and can be easily mixed and matched with your standard basics. Putting together a stylish outfit with business-casual attire will require tapping into your existing arsenal of layer-able staples like button-ups and dressy T-shirts. But you don’t have to be restricted to an everyday uniform. When shopping for business-casual pieces, items like knee-length skirts and close-toed shoes may be at the top of your list, but…

The Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic is Like Getting A Warm Hug

May 04, 2022 at 10:06PM At this point, we’re all a little too familiar with TikTok-born micro trends. From coconut girl to balletcore to the goth-aissance, it’s hard to keep up with the never-ending stream of niche fashion subcultures. And now we have yet another to add to our repertoire: coastal grandmother. Coined on TikTok by creator Lex Nicoleta, the coastal grandmother aesthetic describes the laid-back lifestyle of an ever-cozy, well-to-do older woman (think Oprah or Ina Garten). Style-wise, it’s comprised of breezy silhouettes, soft colours and breathable fabrics. But it’s about more than just fashion. The coastal grandmother emits an aura of ease and puts self-care first with weekly rituals like buying fresh flowers and going to the farmer’s market. “If you love Nancy Meyers movies, recipes and cooking, Ina Garten, cozy interiors and more, there’s a good chance you might be a coastal…

Meet the Stylists Behind Jodie Turner-Smith’s Sparkling Met Gala Gown

May 04, 2022 at 08:35PM Image Source: Getty / Cindy Ord Whether it’s dressing Jodie Turner-Smith in custom Gucci for the Met Gala, getting Tessa Thompson to wear architectural biker shorts at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, or working with Tracee Ellis Ross and Marsai Martin on their Ebony cover, stylists Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald craft fashion moments that shift the narrative. Professionally known as Wayman + Micah, the Los Angeles-based duo’s client list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood: Regina King, Tiffany Haddish, and the aforementioned stars Turner-Smith and Thompson, to name a few.

Who is Eileen Gu, China’s Viral Met Gala Star?

May 04, 2022 at 07:56PM Leave it to the Met Gala to bring together all the Kardashian-Jenner ladies, cast members from Bridgerton and Euphoria, and some of music’s biggest names (Lizzo topped all of our best dressed lists, if we’re honest). A guest list this glamorous is no accident. Anna Wintour’s pride and joy (outside the pages of American Vogue) is all about creating viral moments. And while there was plenty of fabulous fodder on the steps of the Met, it was one guest in particular that set social media ablaze (and no, it wasn’t Kim Kardashian and her grand entrance in Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy birthday, Mr. President” gown). American-born Olympian Eileen Gu went viral on China’s mega-popular microblogging site Weibo after walking the Met Gala red carpet. In her second appearance at the fundraising gala, the Olympic gold medalist freestyle skier and…

How Princess Diana Created a Formula for Younger Royals to Follow

May 04, 2022 at 07:54PM Princess Diana is arguably more popular than ever. Spencer, the biopic starring Kristen Stewart, was one of the buzziest films of the year. Emma Corrin skyrocketed to fame after portraying the young royal in the most recent season of The Crown. And an on-set photo of Elizabeth Debicki (the actress replacing Corrin for the show’s final season) wearing a replica of the iconic “revenge dress” went viral almost instantly. So what’s the reason behind this eternal fascination with the life and fashion of Princess Diana? “She had everything people dream of in a princess,”says royal photographer Samir Hussein.“She was beautiful, she had style, she developed her own voice and influence, but still had frailties. And I think that bucked the trend of how a royal should behave.” Now, a quarter century after her death, a castle in Toronto…
