Even after the busyness of fashion month has calmed down, you’ll still spot a certain kind of woman in every “fashion” city right now. She’s probably walking quickly, coffee in hand, dressed in an outfit that looks effortless but has clearly been considered, and, more often than not, she’ll be wearing jeans. Though they may…
Yves Saint Laurent said he wished he had invented them, Andy Warhol wanted to be buried in them and Giorgio Armani said they represent “democracy in fashion”; jeans are worn, admired and beloved by us all, including the most influential tastemakers. Yet the past few years have seen something of a shift in how denim…
You used to be able to list what you needed from a “good” pair of jeans on three fingers: a comfortable waistband, a nice fit on the bum and, if we’re being purists, a rigid-enough fabrication that gets better, softer and more lived-in over time. Those criteria still stand, but what’s changed is that we,…
The Princess of Wales is nothing if not consistent with her fashion choices. Yes, she’s adapted certain items to fit in with current trends, like trading slim, cropped pants for wide-leg, extra-long trousers. Overall, however, she’s been amazingly unyielding in her love of coat dresses, pointy-toe pumps, skinny jeans, A-line dresses, knee-high Penelope Chilvers boots,…
I want to start this off by saying that I did not plan to write this story. I was actually editing someone else’s market when I suddenly found myself in a Zara hole. It was an out-of-body experience. One second, I was checking on stock, and then the next, I had 20+ tabs open and…
I dreamt about going off birth control for years. I went back and forth constantly, trying to figure out when the “right” time would be. Everyone seemed to have a story about how much better they felt after stopping the pill, and after more than a decade on it, I was curious to see what…
You’re not imagining it—in this day and age, it can feel like whether or not something is considered “dated” can change on a dime—outfit styling specifics included. The one Jenna Ortega just wore for press appearances in NYC proves my point perfectly. When it comes to choosing what shoes to pair with a jeans outfit,…
The temperature is finally cooling, and the leaves are turning. All the signals point to the arrival of fall. If you’re still in need of some must-have fall staples in plus-sizes, look no further. Since I quite literally shop for a living, I’ve utilized my editor prowess and highlighted some go-to fall fashion staples and…
Looking for a bag that’s actually worth your investment? These styles have higher returns than many stock market investments—just saying! Every time I hesitate over purchasing a designer bag, I remind myself it’s an investment. Usually, that’s a story I tell to feel better at checkout, but for a few bags this year, the numbers…
I love outfit formulas. Having fallback outfits in the back of my mind means I always have something to throw on that feels “right.” They make getting dressed easier by taking the guesswork out, so you never have a “nothing to wear” day again. For fall, one of my most-worn combos is a fitted cardigan,…
