Yes Sophie Turner Wore TikTok Merch to Dinner With Taylor SwiftSeptember 20, 2023 at 11:10PMPSA: TikTok merch is now acceptable attire for dinner with Taylor Swift. On Sept. 19, Swift and Sophie Turner made headlines for their spontaneous New York City dinner date, linking arms while walking out of Via Carota following the news of Turner’s split from Joe Jonas. Although the two initially sparked interest for the timeliness of their meeting, our eyes were glued to the actor’s unique sweatshirt instead. The design seemed inconspicuous at first, the black sleeves wrapped tightly around her waist to hide any discerning details. Thankfully, as the city temperatures dropped, Turner layered the sweatshirt over her sparkly silver halter top, revealing it to be TikTok merch from content creator Jake Shane (aka octopusslover8). She styled the sweater with baggy gray trousers, light-blue sneakers, and a gold…

Everything to Know About the Engagement Rings on “Love Is Blind”September 20, 2023 at 09:06PMIf you’re a fan of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind,” then you may be curious about the engagement rings, which are either chosen on set or brought in (Kyle Abrams presented his mom’s ring to Shaina Hurley during season two, for example).

I Styled the Iconic Adidas Samba Like Rihanna and Hailey Bieber

I Styled the Iconic Adidas Samba Like Rihanna and Hailey BieberSeptember 20, 2023 at 07:48PMMy obsession with the Adidas Samba first began in fifth grade. One of my classmates wore the OG classic in black nearly every day, teamed with a pair of Soffe shorts that were rolled precisely three times at the waist. She always beat the boys at soccer during recess. I admired her fashion sense from a young age, and I think that’s because she wore her outfits with confidence and exuded a certain toughness - especially in her Sambas. It’s possible she was even my very first style crush. Today, retro sneakers are having a resurgence, and that certainly doesn’t exclude the iconic Samba, a low-top with three recognizable stripes, the Trefoil-embossed logo at the heel, and a gum rubber outsole. It was, in fact, created as a versatile…

8 Jeans Trends to Shop in 2023 From Cargo to Low-Rise

8 Jeans Trends to Shop in 2023 From Cargo to Low-RiseSeptember 20, 2023 at 07:18PMDenim is a perfect blank canvas upon which anything is possible. But just like with any classic wardrobe essential, jeans trends come and go. While denim does, indeed, stand apart with the notion that a straight fit in a true-blue colorway will remain in favor, there are certainly head-turning cuts, of-the-moment silhouettes, and specific decades-old washes that cycle in and out of style. And modern touches (for example, an asymmetrical waistband, undone fly, or an overly exaggerated slit) mean anything is possible. In 2023, we’re seeing a rise in popularity of the ankle crop and distressed treatments that range from unfinished hems to redone patchwork. Pleated trousers, dramatically pooling wide legs, and formfitting boot-cut flares are also everywhere, with these more standout shapes hailing from the ‘70s, '80s, and…
