September 01, 2021 at 09:30PM I am a dress person; if given the option, I would choose a dress over pants or shorts any day. I find them to be more comfortable, and I also like the way they look on me. Plus, they’re an outfit in and of themselves, so when I’m running late and have to leave the house quickly (which is more often than I’d like), a dress is an easy option I always turn to. When it comes to styles, I like lots of different shapes, but I own exclusively minidresses. They’re flirty and fun, they can be dressed up or down, and they make me feel youthful and vibrant. Minidresses can be worn any time of year, and if you’re transitioning from summer to fall, style them with tall boots or tights. I’ve done the hard work for…

September 01, 2021 at 08:01PM Real talk, I own a lot of handbags … at least 20. I find myself constantly wanting to change out my purses based on the occasion or what I’m wearing. That is, until I discovered Behno, a cool accessories brand focused on sustainability and ethical fashion. I got to test out the Tilda Mini Saddle Bag ($450), and I was pleasantly surprised by how easily it worked with all my outfits and outings, casual or fancy. The bag is made with Italian pebble-grain leather that feels both soft and luxurious - you can visibly tell that this purse is well-made. My favorite part about the design is that I can carry it with the top handles or connect the longer crossbody strap to go hands-free depending on what I feel like. The small size has an impressive amount…

September 01, 2021 at 06:19PM The 78th Venice Film Festival began on Wednesday with a decadent red carpet that we are hoping marks a grand reopening of the global film industry. Hosted at the Lido Di Venezia (Venice Lido) between Wednesday, 1 Sept., and Saturday, 11 Sept., the annual event opens with a star-studded red carpet before scheduled screenings and premieres - with arrivals for Spencer, Dune, The Lost Daughter, Last Night in Soho, and House of Gucci being very highly anticipated. Unquestionably, Kristen Stewart’s Diana-inspired gown will be the most talked-about dress of the opening ceremony - but with some stiff competition. Zendaya and Anya Taylor-Joy share the same superstar stylist, Law Roach, who ensures that his clients’ red carpet looks are dramatic, sophisticated, and timeless. While the women always understand the fashion assignment for the Venice Film Festival, Timothée Chalamet’s red…

September 01, 2021 at 06:05PM Back-to-school shopping is steeped in nostalgia for many of us, and even if we’re not heading back to the classroom, the start of our own metaphorical school year inspires an impulse to ready ourselves for fall, starting with our wardrobes. This season, it’s less of a checklist and more of a check-in: What piece would pull our outfits together? Do we have the right layers to bundle up? Or a sturdy boot we can wear without fail? And, of course, what’s the thing that we’ll look forward to wearing most - you know, the kind of outfit you might save for picture day? Our editors combed the virtual shelves, inspired by our own version of “back-to-school” shopping. Some of our “supplies” veer on the practical side - like the aforementioned boot - while other pieces are straight-up joy…

September 01, 2021 at 05:10PM When the world shut down last year, I did what any standard, comfort-obsessed person should do: I threw off my constricting jeans, put anything that hooked or buttoned in the very back of my closet, and vowed to wear sweats for the foreseeable future. And, though I’m definitely ready for some revenge dressing, I have to admit that I will miss the days of cozy clothes. Or, so I thought. Ready for some good news? You don’t have to part ways with your trusty elastic bands. A few weeks ago, I picked up Universal Thread’s High-Rise Pull-On Shorts ($15), and I’m low-key obsessed with them. Made with a linen-rayon blend, these shorts look like a pair you’d wear to brunches, rooftop happy hours, and park hangs. (The fabric hits that sweet spot between structure and stretch, which means…

September 01, 2021 at 04:40PM Sure, Labor Day may signify the end of summer, but it’s also a great time to score a deal. In fact, we noticed so many Old Navy dresses marked down already that we couldn’t wait till the weekend to share them with you. Some of these are summery picks that would be best in hot weather, but plenty would be a great bottom layer for fall (and there are even a few that can work in winter, too). Check out our favorites ahead now, because it’ll be hard work to pick just one. Related: 19 Old Navy Sweaters Worth Picking Up Before Fall Even Begins (Starting at $13!)

September 01, 2021 at 08:01AM The future of fashion is the community closet, i.e. multi-brand clothing rental websites and apps at every price point. It’s no secret that the fashion and textiles industry is a major player in our global waste problem, alongside the dangers of oil and agriculture. We still have quite a way to go if we want to close the loop on circular fashion, but the growing fashion rental economy is helping to push our consumption in a more sustainable direction. In the past few years, the fashion rental economy has grown at an exceptional rate. American company Rent the Runway was one of the first big names in the rental business, and it’s still going strong a whole decade layer. Since then, the UK has quickly followed suit with dozens of fashion rental websites and apps, specilising in everything…

September 01, 2021 at 01:05AM Leave it to IRL fairy godparent Billy Porter to look bibbidi bobbidi beautiful at the Cinderella remake red purple carpet premiere. Sprinkling a little bit of magic beyond the screen, Billy attended the enchanting event in a two-toned Benchellal Collection No. 9 coat gown with a collared black bodice and white skirt. The skirt even featured pockets just spacious enough to carry a magic wand or a spare glass slipper. Sharing his look on Instagram, Billy, who will play Cinderella’s genderless fairy godparent Fab G in the 2021 remake, wrote, “#MagicHasNoGender.” He paired the look with a glittery gold manicure, a L'Afshar lucite clutch, thigh-high lace-up Harry Halim Paris white boots with six-inch heels, and H. Crowne jewelry - including a statement ring on all 10 fingers. Needless to say, we wish we had our own fairy godparent…

August 31, 2021 at 07:45PM When I wore cargo pants in middle school, I certainly didn’t look cool. When they cropped up on the runways, I held my breath and thought, HERE WE GO AGAIN. Maybe Jenna Lyons could show me the way. I think I saw her styling cargo pants with a sequined blazer once, and remember thinking: I want that whole outfit. Jennifer Aniston also had a memorable run in cargo pants circa 2001. Brad Pitt may have had a matching pair, but I digress. The point is, how the heck are we supposed to wear these right now? The short answer is that Jenna Lyons and Jennifer Aniston were on to something. They transformed the utilitarian-looking pants with slim-fit t-shirts and fashion-forward frills (read: sequins and heels). If, like me, you’ve resisted the trend, we’ve tapped into the street-style set…
