A closet full of quality basics goes a long way, no matter the season. Whether it’s a simple pair of trousers or jeans to wear with tank tops and T-shirts, the styling options are versatile and endless. However, the fashion set has turned its head to a trendier bottom trend to wear with tank tops and tees, and Dua Lipa‘s recent look is the perfect example.
Zendaya Just Ditched Her Signature Red-Carpet Pumps for This Heel-less Shoe Trend
At first glance, Zendaya appears to be wearing her signature Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps to the New York City premiere of The Odyssey. From the front, the shoes’ pointy toes and sleek silhouette look thoroughly familiar to fans of her red carpet fashion. She rarely wears any other style, after all. One turn to the side, however, reveals a completely different look altogether. Gone are the vertiginous heels—in their place, well, are no heels at all! A lot of people hyperbolically claim that Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach have fashion superpowers, and these gravity-defying shoes will do nothing to beat those allegations.
You’ll Never Look Dated in Cropped Pants If You Wear This and This With Them
If I’m being honest, I never thought the “dated” pant trend that’s reemerged would see the light of day again, but It girls have played a big part in the comeback. In fact, Charli XCX was recently spotted in Brooklyn wearing the exact pants; however, she made them look chic and modern. The trend in question? Cropped black pants. Yes, you read that right. The pop star is known for her cool, edgy style on and off the stage and red carpet, so seeing her wearing cropped pants was a bit surprising, yet her take on them was refreshing.
Don’t Like Flip-Flops? Women in Their 30s and 40s Wear This Elegant Flat Sandal Instead
Flip-flops have officially ditched their bad reputation, especially in New York, where many locals had sworn off them until the last few years, when they came roaring back into fashion’s good graces thanks to Scandi girls and a few elevated styles from the likes of The Row and Toteme. That’s not to say, though, that the flat shoe style is for everyone. Whether they’re trendy or not, some people still refuse to wear them, preferring to opt for other flat sandals, and that’s their right. Fortunately, there are plenty of chic flip-flop alternatives, with one particular style a beloved choice among women in their 30s and 40s, from Jennifer Lawrence to Meghan Markle.
Women in Their 40s Who Want to Look Elegant Wear This Dress Trend With These Classic Heels
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more elegantly dressed woman in her 40s than Kate Middleton. I dare you to try. So if classic elegance is your goal, it’s always a safe bet to look to what she’s wearing. She’s routinely appropriately dressed for any occasion in timeless yet trend-forward styles. Yesterday she wore an outfit that was the perfect example of this. While attending a charity polo match to cheer on Prince William, Middleton wore a trend that well-dressed women in their 40s know to choose when they want to look elegant: an A-line midi dress. With it, she wore the classic heels that complement it perfectly: slingback pumps.
