By definition, Hot Girl Summer shouldn’t have involved cashmere. Then came Khaite. The emerging label nabbed a win last week, when Katie Holmes wore its dust-colored wool bralette and cardigan while out shopping in Manhattan. Thin, rich, and bronze-shouldered, Holmes vibrated with the power of ‘70s Jackie O. and ‘90s Liv Tyler. Designer Cate Holstein

Rodarte/Daria Kobayashi Ritch School picture day was a stressful and daunting event that few of us want to remember, but in Rodarte’s world, it’s a dreamy day where Rowan Blanchard poses like an 80s prom princess, Euphoria’s Alexa Demie does her best Cruella de Vil impression, Lili Reinhart snuggles with a cute puppy, and former

This week marks one year since I started using Rent the Runway Unlimited.

I didn’t purchase a single coat,

In the middle of the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Madagascar, lies the tiny island of Mauritius. Encircling it like a necklace is one of the world’s largest coral reefs, which, like coral reefs everywhere, is under threat from warming oceans.

Like every other cyclical fashion trend (see: the Princess Di biker shorts revival, our current obsession with square-toe shoes, and those tiny Matrix sunglasses we already regret), we’re seeing the return

Smart shoppers know that you can often find really good discounted items during those end-of-the-season sales. There is always the chance that what you like is sold out, but that won’t be the case today. J.Crew is having a summer sale with an extra 50 percent off sale pieces (and 40 percent off regular-priced items)!

Alongside PSLs and leggings, a fleece jacket used to be a key part of the Basic Student starter pack. Now, the fashion industry is claiming it as its own.

With the rise of clothing rental services and super fast digital shopping sites, several brands are feeling the heat, including beloved mall brand Forever 21.

Courtesy Labor Day Weekend is coming and we suggest you end your summer on a high note with a well-deserved trip. But instead of schlepping around a worn-out duffel bag, upgrade your travel style with a chic carryall that says “I’m an adult”—even if your weekend is filled with questionable decisions. Currently, we’re eyeing a

I live in fear that a stranger will snap a photo of me wearing a leopard midi skirt in the wild, only to be dragged in the comment section of a catty (albeit hilarious) Instagram post. The style has long been considered a neutral wardrobe staple, but its increasing popularity in 2019 has made the

James DevaneyGetty Images Late last week, as I lay in bed doing my usual Instagram-scroll wind down before shutting off my phone for the evening, I came across a friend’s account who had shared a post from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley with a caption that read “Looks of the Week.” As it turns out, while I was

Matthew SperzelGetty Images “We See You.” That’s the theme of the 2019 Afropunk music festival which started in Brooklyn in 2005 and has since expanded globally to Atlanta, Johannesburg, London, and Paris. “There is power in acknowledgment, a recognition and acceptance that begins with seeing,” Afropunk’s organizers explained in this year’s official press release. “Not

The fashion industry has had a long history of using unethical practices to produce clothing, but thanks to the G7 Fashion Pact, history will (hopefully) no longer repeat itself. A coalition made up of 32 global luxury retailers brought together by French President Emmanuel Macron and representing around 150 brands have pledged to fight the

Sonny Vandevelde Michael Kors skipped his senior prom for a much more pressing engagement: a night out at the legendary Studio 54. The club’s chic denizens “had no idea we were high school students from Long Island,” the designer recalls. “The minute I walked in, I knew it was the place to be—that the mix

We’re not going to sugarcoat it for you: Finding the a great dress for the end of the summer is easier said than done. In a perfect world, you’d be able to find something lightweight enough to wear to the beach or a backyard barbecue, has long sleeves to protect you against cooler summer nights,

Courtesy Cargo pants are back, but they’re nothing like you remember. Before you run for the hills, hear our plea: These are not the pants you idolized during your tweenage pop punk phase in the early 2000s. No, these are ones that can be worn by grown ups who staunchly believe ties do not go

Christian VierigGetty Images We’ve been thinking about it the entire summer: The stylish, swishy silhouette. The buttery silk fabric. The hemline that hits just below the knee.

There’s Insta “baddies” with their on-fleek eyebrows, alt “e-girls,” who wear mesh shirts with Sailor Moon skirts, and, more recently, “soft girls,” twirling around in pastel sundresses to Lana Del Rey. But a new tween-girl Internet lifestyle subculture has entered the lexicon—and she comes with a metal straw in tow. Meet “VSCO girl.” Who is
