I can’t remember the last time a sneaker generated as much buzz as the Adidas Samba has churned up over the past year. Then again, considering the style boasts fans like Harry Styles, Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, and Bella Hadid (plus many, many more celebs), it only makes sense that the fashion set is going

In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between.

Whatever you think you know about plastic, unthink it. Because if shoe brand Melissa is any indication, plastic might not be the environmental enemy we think it is. There’s a lot of talk about the fashion industry’s environmental impact and which of its practices are the most damaging amid the climate crisis. Optimists daydream about

Warm summer nights call for an easy, breezy wardrobe combination. For me, that calling equals a sleek bodysuit (easy) and wide-leg linen pants (breezy). There’s something about a bodysuit that takes all of the guesswork out of the tucking and pulling that comes with throwing on a basic tee. Fortunately, my new summer staple has

When the casual fashion fan views an haute couture show, they just see the seven to ten minute runway presentation of beautiful looks, replete with impressive show spaces, A-list attendees, and the fanfare outside the show and online. However, when one looks behind the curtain, months and months of work by artisans reveals it is

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. “Wow, look. You’re there!” That was what Julien Dossena told himself when he found himself inside one of the most impressive archives in French fashion history, namely that of Jean Paul Gaultier. The designer first became aware of Gaultier as a

According to the National Golf Foundation, golf is more popular than ever—and not just for guys. Chalk it up to pandemic boredom: the historically male-dominated sport continues to become more diversified, and women now comprise 25 percent of those who play. With statistics like these in mind, cult brand Malbon, known for its golf-inspired streetwear,

When brands (and there are many of them) affix terms like “natural,” “organic,” and “fair trade” to their products, it’s easy to get lost in the translation of copy, certifications, and, unfortunately, rampant greenwashing. How does one know what’s been truly made with environmentally friendly and ethical practices? You go straight to the source (and

I never thought I’d be a fan of oversized tote bags, but here I am. (Call my crazy, but I’m partial to a crossbody.) I attribute my newfound fondness to the sheer power and versatility of the style, be it a sturdy canvas tote for the beach (XL L.L. Bean Boat and Tote, I’m looking

With over 358 million views on TikTok and countless appearances on A-list celebs and mega-influencers, cloud slides have officially staked their claim as one of the biggest footwear trends of the early 2020s. And as someone who happens to have her toes in a pair right this very minute, I understand why these comfort-driven “ugly

What does it take to create an It product in a world of microtrends and “-cores”? Simon Miller’s Chelsea Hansford has the secret sauce. “Being attentive,” she says over a Zoom call. “For us, it’s really important to be the first to a trend. We always try to think next, think forward, and not get

Remember the season two premiere of The White Lotus when Daphne Sullivan (Meghann Fahy) runs screaming from the beach? She’s just seen some corpses—R.I.P., Tanya; ciao, high-end gays—and between the dead bodies and filthy rich husband, she’s obviously distraught. But along with the corpses and cuckolds, there’s one less obvious reason to panic: Turns out,

Say hello to rooftop happy hours and weekend trips to the shore; summer has officially arrived. Though many of us look forward to basking under the sun, we tend to spend more time ruminating on what to wear before stepping outside. Sultry temperatures place several limitations on the fabrics we can wear and the number

In case you missed it, Pharrell Williams unveiled his highly anticipated first collection for Louis Vuitton menswear last night in Paris, on the Pont Neuf bridge. Insinuating itself throughout was a pixilated camouflage version of the house’s emblematic Damier check, a collaboration with pixel artist E.T. that peppered clothing and accessories alike (Williams dubs it

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,

It Girls have been rocking sling bags for some time now—at least two years, if I had to estimate. I believe it started as a fanny pack worn like a crossbody (innovative), but now there are styles designated to be worn right around the breastplate. I swore I would never wear one. My proclamation was

A 30-year-old Indian woman named Eshita Kabra-Davies is speaking before a rapt audience at the United Nations. She has long amber hair and is wearing an olive green maxi dress, and leans into the microphone with forward-forcing energy, like it’s the top frame of a Peloton. Speaking with steely calm, Kabra-Davies touches on the impact

Over the weekend, the fine jewelry community came together once again at the 2023 Couture show in Las Vegas, with lots of color, creativity, and innovation.

As someone who’s been keeping up with the Kardashians since middle school, there’s nothing I love more than being in on a family secret—and sharing it with readers like yourself. So here’s a little news straight from Khloé’s team: Good American has a new swimwear collab with Body Glove, and it’s so, so good. The

I’m trying with all my might not to be a broken record here…but I have to live my truth, and my truth is that I live in the Dr. Martens Jadon platform boot. I confess! I like playing with trends and fads as much as the next fashion editor, but as with many things in

Copenhagen Fashion Week has been steadily gaining traction among the next generation of fashion lovers looking to up their sartorial game, especially when it comes to street style—but, as insiders know, it’s what’s on the runways that really matters. Today, CPHFW announced this year’s lineup of 31 designers who will showcase their spring/summer 2024 collections

Courtesy Gigi Burris Bridalwear has its mainstays: Frothy ball gowns, long trains, lacy veils. But within my group of girlfriends in their late-20s, the common thread is that mainstays no longer guarantee you to be the main event. Naked wedding dresses are trending. White pantsuits are in. Bridal bikinis are a thing. Call it a

Last night, on a balmy evening in Rio de Janiero, the fashion set ascended the Santa Teresa hill for what was meant to be a sunset showing of Carolina Herrera’s resort 2024 collection. But Mother Nature had other plans. With the majority of the crowd dressed in the house’s pieces, the rain commenced; fortunately, ponchos

The patriarchy doesn’t pause for movie stars, and Jodie Turner-Smith knows it. The actress is a face of Gucci’s Chime for Change initiative for global gender equality, and for her—like most of us—the subject is painfully personal. “I think when you’re a girl on the playground, it’s pretty obvious that you’re treated differently from the
