Time really does fly when you spend months cooped up at home. Fall will be here before you know it, so get ready to trade in your shorts and sandals for cozy knits and a great pair of boots. If you want to add some new shoes to your wardrobe, Amazon is slashing the prices

The best jewelry investments are timeless pieces that make us feel good. Beginning today, Aurate is having a sale that raises us one better: splurges that also do good. In honor of Women’s Equality Day—a holiday that is unfortunately, but unsurprisingly lesser-known—Aurate is holding a sale now through August 31 where shoppers can take 15%

Astrid StawiarzGetty Images The year is 2012. You put on your dip dye Dries Van Noten jeans (or the knock-offs you got at Zara), Isabel Marant wedge sneakers, swing a Rocco bag over your torn shoulder because it weighs 72 pounds, and you plug your headphones in to Channel Orange. It was a time when

Several months ago when I interviewed Harlem’s Fashion Row founder Brandice Daniel, the advocate for designers of color spoke frankly: “I learned pretty early on that press alone doesn’t pay the bills,” she told me. To Daniel, mentorship was just as crucial as access and funding. Now, thanks to a partnership with RAISEfashion, “We have

In the season 2 finale of Netflix’s Selling Sunset, Oppenheim Group’s most ostentatious agent Christine Quinn crashes her coworker-turned-frenemy Mary Fitzgerald’s final dress fitting at Floravere bridal showroom on Melrose Place. Quinn is there to apologize for calling Fitzgerald a “fucking idiot” just a few days before the wedding. Just like a Sour Patch Kid,

With voter suppression running rampant and threats to the USPS effecting mail-in turnout, it is more important than ever to make your voice heard. But beyond showing up to the polls on November 3rd (or voting early!), you can help encourage people to vote by, well, shopping. Brands like Stuart Weitzman, Levi’s, and more are

Besides saving the USPS, there is only one thing I care about right now: camp collar shirts. Already popular on the menswear scene, the Hawaiian/cabana shirt hybrid has finally crossed over to the masses. The open collar style, known as a Cuban collar, was born from ’50s leisurewear. But in true 2020 form, it’s gotten

Shutterstock White T-shirts are arguably the most consistently stylish piece of clothing you’ll ever wear, but they also have the power to break your heart after a few wears. Why are the armpits turning yellow? What happened to its shape? Why are the sleeves ripping into my arms? Is this a boyfriend tee or a

Shopping at Chanel is an experience. To this day, you cannot purchase Chanel ready-to-wear, bags, or jewelry anywhere online (with the exception of consigned pieces not affiliated with the brand). The design house is notorious for giving IRL customers a luxurious look into the world of iconic handbags and french craftsmanship (with a glass of

Sandra Mansour’s job is turning dream worlds into dresses. She pulls clouds down to earth via billowing tulle; she sews dawn dew from gardens into glass-beaded gowns. It’s a gift, as they say, but it comes with a cost—like, literally—because the hand-crafted pieces by the Swiss-born, Beirut-based designer are roughly (and rightly) the cost of

If wearing face masks out in public will be a part of our standard operating procedure for the foreseeable future, we might as well do it in style. We’ve been matching our masks to our makeup and matching our masks to our looks. Several designers started making reusable masks early on the pandemic. Now Burberry

Style Points is a new weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world.

Michel DufourGetty Images Ready to give your sweatpants a rest and slip into something more comfortable? Take a page out of Phoebe Philo’s book. She might’ve set the trends at major fashion houses like Céline and Chloé, but her personal uniform is refreshingly simple: A crewneck sweater, slouchy black trousers, and a crisp white pair

Getty Images The Swinging Sixties is known for major shifts in culture, politics, music, and fashion. Between second-wave feminism and the assassinations of major world leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and Malcom X, the tumultuous decade had a direct connection with how people chose to express themselves through style. The

These days, time has become an increasingly fluid concept, and Gucci, a brand that has long respected the intricate delicacy of watchmaking and timekeeping, recognized that this might be an opportunity to revisit our collective relationship to it. So, the fashion house has invited revered artists from all over the world to create works of

Michelle Obama has done it again. The former First Lady gave a DNC speech endorsing Joe Biden that, as one Twitter user put it, felt like “an intervention for the soul of the country.” Not only did she take on Trump, calling him “the wrong president for our county,” but she also demanded America take

Modern Pearls Hold on to your pearls, because brands like Dior, Givenchy, Prabal Gurung, and Simone Rocha confirmed that the gemstone is here to stay. The style was once reserved for sophisticated occasions, but now it lends itself to everyday wear, done up as baroque drop earrings, mask chains, and more.

Edward BerthelotGetty Images This year has been nothing short of heartbreaking, to say the least. But you don’t know disappointment until you have both of your laptops and phone set to the Telfar site in the hopes of nabbing its famous Shopping Bag as soon as it drops, only to be met with a “sold

Courtesy of Tracee Ellis Ross Over the past few months, I have cultivated a style perhaps best described as The Big Lebowski meets Auntie Mame. After stay-at-home orders removed any semblance of a routine, I turned to piling on odd, clashing garments, as if I were starring in a one-woman, millennial version of Grey Gardens.

If you need something to get excited about these days, Madewell is hosting its first-ever Secret Stock sale, where you can save up to 70 percent off select clothing, shoes, and accessories. While Madewell regularly has sales on its effortlessly cool wares, I’ve never seen a sale this big. (And, trust me, I spend a

When Allie Goertz encountered Crocs for the first time as a dorky, Wayne’s World-obsessed 13-year old, she instantly despised their bulbous, stippled silhouette. “I remember thinking, ‘They’re so ugly, never in a million years would I wear Crocs,'” she says. Eighteen years later, the musician and writer was self-quarantining at home in Los Angeles due

The genesis of Uggs might be rooted in an ancient time of bedazzled flip phones and velour tracksuits, but the Australian brand’s quality and evolving range (they now carry blankets, sneakers, athleisure and heels) have rendered Ugg’s cozy creations timeless. Considering how stress-inducing 2020 has been, coupled with all the extra time spent at home,

Leah Zelaya has dreamed of being a designer for as long as she can remember. She studies fashion magazines, sketches out ideas for red-carpet looks, and even walked in a NYFW show earlier this year. Ask about her style icons and she’ll drop some of today’s biggest names: Jennifer Lopez, because she’s “not afraid to

Getting dressed seems a little pointless these days when we have nowhere to go, but that hasn’t stopped us from eyeing The Outnet’s clearance sale. Starting today, designers like Gucci, Prada, Ganni, and more are up to 80%, so we’re indulging in some serious self-care. But instead of mindlessly sifting through the 3,000 items that

When Bulgari was in the planning stages of their latest collection, they decided to tap none other than brilliant designer Yoon Ahn.

Courtesy As a proud owner of butterfly-shaped sunglasses, I can safely say that I’ve worn them exactly one time. Owning a massive collection of styles that range from skinny to oversized to straight up weird usually means one thing: I get overwhelmed and reach for the same boring pair on the daily.

Harris Reed, with illustration by Lukas Palumbo  “No holds barred. I love that expression,” says Harris Reed. The designer, who uses they/them pronouns and identifies as gender-fluid, was constantly on the move as a kid, living in 30 different places.
