The Up-and-Coming Brand That’s Creating the Best Basics

December 07, 2021 at 06:00AM The world of fashion basics hasn’t always been a particularly exciting one. Historically speaking, a sensible sweater and layering vest weren’t exactly considered the height of sophistication. But over the last decade or so, the fashion industry has clearly started to tune in to the value of this wardrobe category and is now delivering brands that not only make buying basics an appealing prospect but also elevate them to cult-favourite must-haves. While it only launched in 2018, Pangaia is one brand that has stormed the basics landscape with its rainbow of staples. I’m talking hoodies, tracksuits, sweaters, T-shirts, and everything in between—and the industry is certainly paying attention.Not only has Pangaia fine-tuned its design DNA over the last three years, but it’s leading the way in textile innovation and has set the goal to become an “earth positive” business using…

8 Cool Ways to Wear A Dress This Winter

December 07, 2021 at 06:00AM The appeal of dresses is how easy they are to wear and that they require little to no styling. This is certainly true in summer, however in winter it gets a little trickier as you have the cold to contend with and layers become vital. I personally find myself wearing jeans and trousers with a jumper far more appealing than my usual uniform, a dress. However there are some styling tricks that you can do to make your dresses more winter appropriate, and below I’ve listed 8 in particular that I’ve saved recently.If you opt for a simple slip dress or black dress, you can use it as a clever layering piece and wear it over rollnecks or long-sleeved tops.

I Thought Skinny Jeans Were Over Until I Tried This Pair From Good American

December 07, 2021 at 01:05AM When Gen Z declared that skinny jeans were over, I was honestly relieved. I have very muscular calves, and getting my legs into skinny jeans was a struggle that I’m way too familiar with. Although I was initially on board, I later realized that I may have been too quick to toss my skinny jeans into the donation pile. Why, you ask? Well, in the colder months, I love wearing knee-high boots with sweaters, and you know what doesn’t fit inside knee-high boots? Wide-leg jeans. In an effort to replenish my skinny-jean arsenal and find a few pairs that even Gen Z would approve of, I tried out three pairs from Good American. This was my first time trying out Good American denim, and I have to admit, they are impressive. All of the jeans I tested have…

Carrie Bradshaw’s Work From Home Outfits Are My Forever Inspiration

December 06, 2021 at 08:41PM Something I’ll never forget is how many times, after watching the Sex and the City movie, I tried to pull off the Carrie Bradshaw outfit you see right here. Carrie stood there admiring her closet in separates that appeared so effortless and cool - and she was at home, just dressing for herself. Carrie actually layered a tunic dress over a skirt twice in the film (I counted), but I couldn’t get over how perfectly she mastered proportions here, so that just the right amount of pleated skirt was revealed beneath the hemline of her tee. I can’t even tell you how many different combinations I hand-selected from my own wardrobe to try to nail this exact look. For me, that excitement extends to the HBO series, which is now being rebooted with a spinoff, And Just Like…

Fashion is Setting Foot in the Metaverse

December 06, 2021 at 08:22PM As the digital and physical worlds continue to converge, the new age of the internet — the “metaverse” — is transforming the fashion industry. One luxury house fronting the shift is Balenciaga. The brand (known to embrace virtual clothing) recently announced plans to launch a business unit specifically dedicated to exploring opportunities in the metaverse. Balenciaga released its Fall 2021 collection through a gaming app and famously partnered with the video game Fortnite to create a series of “skins” for the game’s characters. So far, most of the fashion world’s investments in the metaverse have been through video game skins (cosmetics that customize characters,), reports Business of Fashion. These developments provide a glimpse of what fashion in the metaverse could look like.
