August 18, 2021 at 09:45PM While 2020 might seem like the year you collected slippers, slippers … and more slippers, our stay-home style actually laid the foundation for the shoe trends we’re wearing through 2021. From looking at the runways, along with some designer favorites, it’s clear cult-favorite luxury labels like Khaite, The Row, and Bottega Veneta have reintroduced the leather flat and lug-sole boot, albeit in some exciting new shapes. Our more relaxed lifestyle jives just fine with a silhouette that’s just as comfortable. We’re also seeing brands such as Proenza Schouler, Chloé, and Stella McCartney inspire tough boots beyond the hiking shoe. These utility designs fuse fashion and function in a really brilliant way, and also happen to look great complemented by tube socks. Aside from that, prep fans will be excited that the loafer is back in 2021, and natural-toned…

August 18, 2021 at 09:25PM The good news about summer coming to an end (I had to think hard on this because I thrive in warm weather) is that many retailers are marking down tons of items that make great layers come fall.

August 18, 2021 at 08:25PM Fashion is at its best when it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and the comeback of the early internet aesthetic, an extension of the Y2K resurgence, represents just that. You may not believe that mall-kiosk slogan T-shirts and WordArt graphics are in style, but after we wore sweatsuits for a year, truly anything can happen. The nostalgic trend pays homage to the early days of the internet and all of the absurdity, overdone graphics, and sayings that came with it. The trend is confusing to define (it doesn’t really have a name) but easy to spot: think T-shirts with aggressive and/or hyper-specific slogans on trendy Gen Z influencers. I prefer to call it “cheugy-core”: it is taking something that would otherwise be “cheugy” (or sometimes just absurd) and wearing it with intention and irony. The back of your…

August 18, 2021 at 06:24PM Madison Bailey and the rest of her Outer Banks cast mates have social media accounts full of behind-the-scenes photos from filming their Netflix show. But our favorite since season two started streaming has to be the above set of beach photos. Bailey wears a strappy black two-piece skirt set, accessorized with her character’s signature layered necklaces. The pleated co-ords are perfectly on trend for summer - there are plenty of similarly sultry, ‘90s-style alternatives we found to prove it! - and despite the good looks of the Pogues beside her, she’s still our biggest fashion icon. You can click through Madison’s full album to see Madelyn Cline make an appearance in tailored gray pants and a bralette, and check out another angle of Jonathan Davis, Chase Stokes, and Rudy Pankow in their cool-as-heck button-downs. Then, scroll through the…

August 18, 2021 at 05:55PM Naomi Osaka just elevated the sustainable denim game. This week, the four-time Grand Slam champion announced a limited-edition denim collection with Levi’s, and not only are all four pieces made from upcycled or vintage materials, but they also honor her Japanese heritage. Naomi worked with the Levi’s team to ensure they “captured her unique mix of sporty and feminine,” and after one look at these products, you can feel Naomi’s influence in the design of all four pieces. The collection includes a kimono, two pairs of shorts, and a bustier. The denim kimono ($380) features a dark wash denim with an obi belt. “I loved wearing kimonos when I was a kid. So, to be able to do it in denim felt really different and a bit unexpected,” Naomi said in a press release. The two pairs of…

August 18, 2021 at 04:43PM Olivia Rodrigo and Iris Apatow, who are good friends in case you haven’t checked Instagram, were spotted out in LA attending Jennifer Klein’s annual Day of Indulgence party. The duo channeled the early 2000s properly, selecting matching miniskirts and knee-high boots. But while Olivia tapped into her edgier side, walking tall in Marc Jacobs’s Margaret Platforms (which are sadly sold out) and rocking a mesh, psychedelic printed long-sleeve from O'Mighty, Iris was her schoolgirl counterpart in a khaki pleated skirt, sugar-pink blouse, chainstrap bag, and fuzzy bucket hat - an off-season accessory Rihanna certainly popularized this summer. Olivia’s accessories were standard for what we’ve seen from the rising star. She clutched her phone with a beaded strap and toted a snow leopard tote, the furry texture perfectly coordinated with her BFF’s hat. Finally, she wore retro sunglasses from…
