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. This month, we spoke to Emily Hikade, who left her career in the CIA to start a pajama brand after a near-death experience on an airplane. “I was heading to

Once upon a time, there were rules in fashion—like, say, giving white clothing a full stop after Labor Day. Our attitudes have since changed into a new modus operandi: anything goes. Henceforth, the new style manifesto—in both the fashion industry and social media—is an open call for everyone to wear whatever, whenever. Birkenstocks, once viewed

If one of your resolutions is to embrace your inner sneakerhead, I’ve got you covered with the best 2024 sneaker trends to look forward to come January. From the spring/summer 2024 runways to the streets of New York City and

I don’t know about you, but the gift cards I received yesterday for Christmas are already burning a hole in my pocket. Thankfully, there are plenty of end-of-year sales to spend them on. Call them after-Christmas sales, call them Boxing Day markdowns, call them what you will. I’ll simply call them a great deal. As

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.

A year and a half ago, I took up an entire page on this website waxing poetic about my love for Madewell jeans. And don’t get me wrong, though I’ve added a few other brands to my denim arsenal since then, I still highly recommend the Petite Curvy Perfect Vintage jeans and, more recently, the

There’s a certain type of adrenaline rush that comes with gliding down a fluffy, snow-capped mountain—you’re outside, breathing in the fresh alpine air, and taking in unparalleled views of the world around you, all while donning the best ski outfits for women. But how, exactly, does one get here? While one might need to endure

ATTENTION: If you haven’t written down your 2024 intentions yet, now is the time. While you’re at it, consider what the 2024 jewelry trends you want to wear throughout the next year. After all, the glimmering baubles a woman wears say a lot about her personality to both herself and the world. What’s her style?

Just the mere mention of artificial intelligence within the fashion industry ignites a certain fight-or-flight response. It tends to be seen as a negative thing, with models being replaced, or shoppers being tracked by these advancements. Very seldom do we acknowledge the benefits of working alongside technology for the better good of, well, everyone. But

Kerby Jean-Raymond knows how to send a political message. The Haitian-American designer of Pyer Moss regularly takes cues from his revolutionary roots in order to disrupt the world around him. In 2016, his spring menswear line called attention to police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement. Three years later, his collection shown at Brooklyn’s

The flashing of lights, the brightest smiles, the swish of gowns, the sky-high heels, and the sparkling, gleaming, glamorous gems—this can only be one place, the red carpet.

It finally happened: All over the spring 2024 runways, there were polos with popped collars, leggings, and, most of all, belts on every single thing, every single way, from Miu Miu to Ralph Lauren. Maybe you remember the heyday of this style. It’s so oddly specific not just of Y2K, but of early to mid-2000s

Yes, that’s right: The holiday season is here. It’s a time when festive fashion is heavily calculated, including the coup de grâce of

Countless origin stories are set in garages. The germ of the idea for Apple came while the founders were hanging out in Steve Jobs’ garage. Bands from Weezer to the Ramones used them for early jam sessions. For Anine Bing, her Silver Lake garage space generated not a personal computer or a series of radio

Après-ski attire can best be described as cozy, but that doesn’t keep the street style-savvy on the mountain from looking their best. Case in point: Kendall Jenner, who gave the wintry aesthetic her own personal twist at the opening night of FWRD’s new pop-up shop in Aspen, Colorado over the weekend. The model, who walked

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

Back in 2001, Britney Spears wearing a pair of tiny hot pink bikini bottoms atop low-slung, metallic green flares felt revolutionary.

Don’t talk to me about Emily in Paris,” Isabel Marant will warn you. No, she hasn’t seen the Netflix hit. “And I won’t. But this is a phantasm that doesn’t exist in Paris,” she says, blowing out cigarette smoke. “The French girl is much cooler than that.” Marant would know. She’s built a one-woman empire

When it came to dressing for ELLE’s Women in Hollywood celebration, 2023 honoree Danielle Brooks aimed for the unexpected. She wanted “to do something different and shake up the carpet,” the actress and singer tells ELLE.com. “What better way to do it than with a denim gown by Moschino?” Indeed, Brooks stood out in a
