We’ve all heard the saying, “No white after Labor Day.” It’s one of fashion’s many arbitrary — and frankly, classist — rules, and one I’ve never subscribed to. Thankfully, fashion is on my side this fall, with designers pushing a particular white must-have this season: a skirt. The trend emerged last February when Prada showed its fall/winter 2023 collection, which featured frothy, white maxi skirts with floral embellishments, paired with simple cashmere sweaters. It wasn’t just Prada, though. Designers like Markarian, Nanushka, and Adeam also included variations of white skirts in their fall/winter collections, ranging from leather wrap iterations paired...

Listen, we undoubtedly love a good deal over here and and love regularly sharing our favorite under-$100 products with you. But there are pricier, splurge-worthy products that we also consider “good deals” and think are worth sharing. They may mean spending a bit more money, but there’s peace of mind in knowing we’ll have these high-quality pieces for a long time. From quiet luxury wardrobe staples to elevated homeware items to unique accessories, we’ve been obsessing over our newly acquired investment pieces, most of which come over $100. Several of us have found our new go-to fall boots, and others...

While it’s true lesbians wear flannels regardless of weather, their official comeback season is finally here for everyone else. Finding a good soft flannel button-up at a reasonable price is hard work, and if you don’t have a stylish lesbian near you, let me be your lesbian fairy godmother. From soft Amazon shirts with over 70K reviews for under $15 to cropped trendy ones by Madewell for under $100, this is the roundup you need if you’re on that flannel hunt. Trust me, I’ve got you absolutely covered. My credentials? Not only am I clearly a shopping writer, but I’m...

In our opinion, the best thing about & Other Stories is that it’s just a hair more polished than its mainstream fast-fashion brethren. While we fully expect to see tried-and-true runway trends at the likes of H&M, the Swedish behemoth’s smaller companion boutique is like a well-traveled cousin who just came traipsing back from Paris. You’re more likely to find those influencer-approved styles that feel straight out of a sun-lit Instagram feed, rather than pulled from the highly-produced pages of a glossy fashion magazine. So it comes as no surprise that shoppers are as excited for the brand's discounted styles...

Nothing is better than a fall sale right at the start of the season. It’s the most convenient time to restock on cozy sweaters and longer-length dresses before the leaves start changing. Luckily, J.Crew has all the styles you need, and it’s offering 50% off select full-price fall pieces and 60% off sale items with the promo code SHOPNOW through October 3. J.Crew’s fall sale isn’t for the faint-hearted, as there are over 1,400 styles. That’s why we’ve handpicked our favorite pieces, including cable-knit sweaters, reversible puffers, pajama sets, elevated basics like silk camisoles, and more. We also made sure not to skip past some of the brand’s best...

This fall we’re prioritizing ourselves and channeling some serious main character energy. That means feeling (and looking) like the leading lady of our lives. So while you may not actually be starring in a movie, you can take inspiration from different Halloween aesthetics and main characters from iconic horror movies to feel like it. Whether you’re looking to channel Anjelica Huston in The Addams Family, Drew Barrymore in Scream, or Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body, there’s several different styles to experiment with this spooky season. Do you want your ideal main character outfit to be glamorous and gothic, cool and...

Ever since Victoria’s Secret canceled its fashion show following a series of controversies, many wondered whether the company would ever bring back the runway spectacle that it was once known for. Five years later, we have our answer with The Tour, a documentary-style film released on September 26 on Prime Video.  The streaming iteration of the lingerie brand’s famed catwalk event — which first started in 1995 and saw models like Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks, and Gisele Bündchen strutting in elaborate wing costumes — is the latest step in Victoria’s Secret redemption tour. To make up for its past mistakes...

A great 2002 Avril Lavigne song goes, “He was a punk, she did ballet.” But a new drop from & Other Stories asks, "What if, this fall fashion season, you wanted to channel both?" On Tuesday, the Swedish brand launched its Savoir Collection, a limited capsule that fuses — or clashes, depending on how you look at it — the ultra-femme, elegant yet dramatic beauty of ballet with the bold, rebellious edge of punk-rock aesthetics.  The 16-piece line includes flowing ruffled skirts and tops, structured blazers, peplum blouses, biker-inspired leather pieces, and, of course, pointe shoe-inspired pumps. The pieces can...

The year was 2013. New York-based brand Mansur Gavriel had just launched its first-ever collection, a line of leather handbags that included a bucket bag. Despite its simple black-and-red, drawstring silhouette, the style was instantly spotted on the arms of bloggers and fashion insiders. Demand was so high that the designers Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel, both art school graduates with no fashion experience who met at a concert in 2010, couldn’t keep up production, prompting a waitlist. “The bucket bag [silhouette] has such a history,” says Mansur. “I think we interpreted it in a very modern way at the...

Calling all fashion enthusiasts! Be on your toes, as top handle bags have been declared a 2023 handbag trend, and you'll see them everywhere this fall. Celebrities and street style stars are styling the polished handbags for all their latest fall 'fits, from posh ensembles like polo shirts, pleated skirts, and Mary Janes to more casual looks like fall sweaters and the latest sneakers. Fortunately, no two top handles are the same. The style ranges from sophisticated pillowy satchels to quaint leather bucket bags to petite bejeweled mini purses. The best part is that some top handle bags come with a detachable chain or leather strap that you can also...

From New York to London, one of the biggest Fashion Week trends so far has been wearability and tailoring, with wardrobe staples like oversized blazers, boxy shirting, and skirts and pants with asymmetrical waistlines and hemlines making as many waves on the red carpet as the more show-stopping pieces. This was made even more evident in Milan last week. From Sabato De Sarno’s beautifully austere Gucci debut to Prada’s pared-back runway collection that you can see living in your closet for years to come, designers went back to basics for Spring 2024 collections, albeit in the most sophisticated way possible. ...

“Merch” and “fashion” have never been mutually exclusive (think: vintage sportswear, band tees, and branded moto leather jackets). But right now, it would seem that the trend centers largely around one major arena: food. Cool Girl clothing collectives are vending pasta T-shirts and cheese-shaped earrings. Restaurant totes are now essential to the standard street-style uniform. Tomato Girl Summer is all over TikTok. Which is to say, in all sincerity, we wear what we eat.  And now, we can wear what we drink, too. In celebration of National Coffee Day, beloved Canadian coffee purveyor, Tim Hortons, is releasing a new line...

If you’re on Fashion TikTok or Instagram, you’ve likely seen the Sir Aries dress. Since the Australian label launched the silk gown, marked by a lace cut-out detailing on the front, in 2019, it has taken over social media feeds, with internet’s most fashion-forward hailing it the It dress; IRL, celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens, Lily Aldrige, and Whitney Port have sported the style. While the black dress remains the most searched for item on Sir’s website, the style now comes in a variety of colors, from a rich brown and navy to a summer-y peach and yellow. In particular, the...

It must be the season of discounts, as fashion retailers have been releasing sales left and right, and the latest to join the surge of weekend flash deals is from the popular women’s footwear brand.
