Bretman Rock is a work of art. When the social media star and beauty influencer is not expertly beating his face with his non-dominant hand or rating Trix cereal an eight out of ten (“I would say it’s slightly better than Fruit Loops”), he’s directing his focus to the camera for 7.89 million YouTube subscribers

If the ongoing lockdown taught us anything about fashion, it’s to invest in functional pieces that can fit with the times we’re living in. For instance, a cozy, faux fur coat that hugs you like a blanket and translates well on Zoom. Or maybe a faux leather trouser that pairs as well with comfy sneakers

When I first see Karlie Kloss on my screen, she’s a pixelated, slightly delayed version of the model/Kode With Klossy founder/Project Runway host the world knows. “I’ve been having some WiFi troubles today…” she tells me, springing into action just as I offer to switch my own connection. It’s one of the all-too-common scenes filling

Kerry Washington is one of Hollywood’s more daring and experimental style stars today, but she’s also a strong believer in classic, timeless jewelry.

As someone who has spent the bulk of the year in leggings and oversized vintage tees, I’m optimistic that loungewear will one day be considered real clothes. Who wants to wiggle into their stiff jeans when they can score all-day comfort in some sweats? If I’m being totally honest, I dread the future of when

Before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was sworn into Congress as the youngest woman to ever serve in the legislative body, she was already expounding the values of thrift shopping. “There’s so much pressure to present ourselves in the world a certain way, and, sometimes, that means looking a lot more expensive than what you can afford in

In 2020, supporting fashion with a purpose has never felt better. That’s the idea behind Balmain’s (Balmain)RED B-Court sneakers—a limited-edition launch that benefits The Global Fund‘s fight against HIV/AIDS and COVID-19.

Christian VierigGetty Images More times than not, getting your hands on the latest “it” bag feels like Mission: Impossible. Unless you get a favorable spot on the waitlist, pull an all-nighter in front of the store, or know someone who knows someone, you’ll likely have to admire it from the confines of your Instagram feed.

There’s no season quite like fall. The weather turns crisp and, at long last, autumn’s cold-weather staples are once again on the (sartorial) menu. Among the more important closet essentials is a well-stocked repertoire of footwear. Boots, sneakers, and similarly stylish shoes are all worthy of your closet’s real estate right now— and for three

Has there ever been a better time to indulge in a little retail therapy? After several months of uncertainty, anxiety, and many, many hours doom scrolling—we deserve this.

Nestled amid 2,000 acres of Scottish countryside sits Dumfries House, an 18th century estate complete with a walled garden straight out of an Austen heroine’s dreams. It’s been home to generations of earls, but lately it’s hosted a very different set of tenants: students from Italy’s architecture, design, and engineering school Politecnico di Milano. Dumfries

It’s common knowledge that consumer behavior and industrialization have a major impact on the environment; as consumers, we’re responsible for both the current and future condition of our planet.

Chloe Kim is America’s relatable sweetheart.
