Wayfair’s Way Day sale is almost upon us, which means there’s never been a better time to splurge on home décor and furniture. Whether you’ve been budgeting for a comfortable sofa, quality area rug, or luxurious duvet cover, you can get all that and more for up to 80 percent off during the home retailer’s

I didn’t get married anticipating divorce. Nor did I, a fashion and beauty editor, expect to find all my garments suddenly unwearable. Yet there I was, alone in my bedroom, with a wardrobe full of nothing I wanted to wear. I wish I could tell you there was a big, explosive blowout, a tantalizing scandal,

Despite being a bona fide bag lady, the last thing I ever considered investing in was a quality work tote. Simply put, I didn’t feel the need for one when I had a perfectly good, roomy, and durable canvas option in my arsenal. But, after schlepping a heavy, bulky bag to more than one professional

In 2019, I wrote an article for ELLE titled, “WNBA Game-Day Fashion Deserves Recognition, Too.” It took five years to get here—but that recognition is finally pouring in. From game day to draft day, women in basketball are having a much-deserved moment in the sartorial spotlight. At the 2024 WNBA draft in Brooklyn last week,

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Lisa Birnbach has seen this all before. The author of The Official Preppy Handbook, which went old-world viral in 1980, is peering out from her proverbial Lacoste visor at yet another preppy revival. Whether it’s Emma Chamberlain going full dark academia

For years, I dedicated an entire section of my closet to silver. Not jewelry, but clothes. Tube tops threaded with tinsel. Tanks weighted down in diamanté. Halters undulating with waves of sequins. They were advertised as “going-out tops”—flimsy things that I suspect would shudder and wilt if held too close to an open flame—but for

Inspiration can strike at the most unexpected moments: A wisp of an idea floats leisurely by, before bubbling into a larger vision. Stylist Jaime Kay Waxman is no stranger to finding artistry in all places—most recently, in the form of bespoke wine bottles. Element[AL] Wines’ core lineup, bottled in lightweight aluminum, features bold, metallic packaging

Some may say the only way to be a fully sustainable fashion brand is to, well, not be a brand at all. After all, according to the Geneva Environment Network, the garment industry is currently responsible for over 10 percent of the world’s carbon emissions and contributes to mass amounts of water and textile waste

There was a time, not so long ago, when the term “era” brought to mind strictly academic concepts: a scale to measure the Earth’s geological time; a system for classifying sweeping events of human history; a theoretical timeline of our known universe. These days, though, “era” brings to mind different phases in the careers of

The last few days have been filled with so much Taylor content—and we’re definitely not complaining. With The Tortured Poets Department release, a surprise extended version titled The Anthology, and a music video for the single ‘Fortnight’, we literally haven’t been able to catch our Swiftie breath. And along with the record-breaking album, Swift released

We heartily endorse adding trending shapes to your eyewear collection (hello, slim ovals!), but while you’re at it, why not embrace frames that seamlessly fuse your fashion sense with a nod to sustainability? The Calvin Klein Eyewear Naturals collection looks great, of course—the brand has long been at the forefront of minimalist design—but it also

Athleisure fans, we’ve got big news. Our beloved Reebok always kills it with cool sneakers and sporty-chic styles. And right on queue is the brand’s new vintage-inspired collab with Anine Bing. ICYMI, Anine Bing has risen to fame over the last decade for easy breezy California-ready fashion like oversize button down shirts and elevated basics.

Dior has long wanted to have a fashion show in New York. And on Monday night, under the glow of fluorescent lights shaped as diamond hand signs, the French house did just that, with Anja Taylor-Joy, Rosamund Pike, and NewJeans’ Haerin sitting front row. For her pre-fall 2024 collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri turned her focus

In Paris, signs of this summer’s Olympics are everywhere: stadiums are being constructed throughout the city, including one right under the Eiffel Tower, the Siene is being cleaned up for its close-up, and Parisians are renting their homes, fleeing as an estimated 15 million visitors descend. Last week, Nike got in on the excitement leading

Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski is the poster girl (literally) for a lot of things: Countless ad campaigns, body positivity, toi-et-moi-turned-“just moi” divorce rings…the list goes on. But perhaps most of all, she’s the poster girl for summer. To further solidify her standing as summertime supreme, EmRata has a new campaign with Victoria’s Secret that’s all about

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. For years, street-style peacocks would be stationed outside runway shows as New York Fashion Week took over the city—and Johnny Cirillo was not there. “Fashion week would be going on and I would just be on Bedford Avenue walking up and

What’s your ideal setting for some rest and relaxation? For me, it’s a warm bubble bath. The ambiance of a dark, candlelit bathroom and the sound of a running faucet help me totally unwind; it’s almost like an out-of-body experience. Throughout my life, my mom similarly dedicated her “me time” to baths, so it’s no

Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial fashion editors, respectively, we know a thing or two about shopping—for all ages, and especially our demographics. As we find the best products for you, we can’t help but do a little shopping for ourselves and build our personal (age-appropriate) wish lists. And now,

Roberto Cavalli passed away today at 83 in Florence, Italy. The famed designer started hisnamesake brand in the mid-1970s by working primarily with animal print leathers, which quickly became a signature. By the ’90s, he expanded to billowing silk dresses, printed corset tops, and l0w-slung denim jeans that, to this day, are still coveted among

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Before his name blanketed hip-hop lyrics, his designs showed up on Madonna and Beyoncé, or he entertained celebrity friends on yachts, Roberto Cavalli was a humble artist. Growing up in Florence, he studied textile printing, going on to experiment with leather

What makes an It Bag an It Bag? These days, with oversaturated markets and a deluge of ads on social media, it can be harder to stand out. Back in 2001, however, the fashion calendar was less jam-packed and the opportunity for placements on A-listers felt organic; thus, the birth of an icon occurred: the

I tore through my apartment like a junkie, craving my ex’s scent. I couldn’t say exactly what that scent was, only that he—we’ll call him X—had one when he was mine. After five years together, X and I had parted just some months earlier. The possibility of a lingering cologne didn’t feel unrealistic. I came

Last night in Los Angeles, The Fashion Trust U.S., a non-profit that provides grants and strategic mentoring to U.S. designers, hosted their second annual awards ceremony with a star-studded carpet at a private residence. Featuring a special performance by Macy Gray, the event honored brands and individuals with a variety of awards. The night was

To say Paloma Elsesser has carved out her niche in the fashion industry would be an understatement. The New York It Girl-turned-model has redefined what it means to be a contemporary woman, both in the industry and in the world at large. With her push for true inclusivity—not just surface-level tokenism—she’s taken up space for

If you’ve been coveting the chunky, retro-inspired gold earrings that Hailey Bieber has been rocking on Instagram lately, we have some great news: Not only are the styles she’s worn still in stock, but they can be yours for less than $115. The silhouettes in question all come from affordable LA-based jewelry brand Heaven Mayhem,

Consider the humble cactus. A resident of this planet well before humans emerged, outliving both us and the elements, it’s playing nature’s ultimate version of the long game. For Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez Duarte, it also might be the spiky secret to solving fashion’s waste problem. After meeting while studying abroad in Taiwan—and

Ah, Los Angeles. Alluring and always sunny (much to Chloë Sevigny’s chagrin), the destination beloved for film has more recently attracted some of fashion’s heaviest hitters. Thom Browne, the king of East Coast prep and chairman of the CFDA is the latest to get in on the fun. The brand is expanding its footprint with

No one needed to make sunglasses cool–it’s in their DNA. From Neo’s miniscule frames in The Matrix to Holly Golightly’s much-copied oversize pair in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, sunglasses have been used to both tell and hide our favorite stories. Often underrated but never overlooked, the glasses we wear live lives unique to their category. They

There’s a moment in the life of every clotheshorse when a dedication to sartorial acquisition crosses into a different breed of hunger. For me, for a while, it was an altruistic mission. There I was, in a Thrift Town in San Antonio, Texas, in the late ’90s, a recent transplant from Hong Kong in my
