39 Spring Fashion Must-Haves, According To Refinery29 Editors

The Frankie Shop Hayla Denim Pants

“These jeans are hands down the item that has gotten the most wear out of all my 2024 purchases. After seeing the then-sold-out contrast pair on my colorist and hair whisperer, IGK’s Liv Casanova, last year, I instantly added my email to the notification list; I have never bought anything faster than when I got a restock email a month later. Not only do these jeans create an cinched-waist effect thanks to the adjustable button waistband but they also dress up the simplest of tank tops, T-shirts, and sweaters with zero effort. I’ve worn them at least once a week since purchase, and have my eye on this white pair for summer. While the black-and-navy pair is sadly once again sold out, you can opt for the one-tone version of the same silhouette.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director read more

I’m a Shopping Expert, and This Throw-On Cos Dress is the Best They’ve Ever Made

Alongside, the warmer weather means I’m drawn to more relaxed silhouettes, those that flow over the body and ensure comfort is front and centre with style. And COS has combined these two ease factors in perfect harmony to create the contrast panel midi dress. read more

My Miscarriage Was “Common” — For Black Women That Isn’t Comforting, It’s Terrifying

In pop culture and on film and TV — the place I generally go to either make sense of the world or to escape it — miscarriages are typically used as a plot device, a way to get a character out of a pesky pregnancy or as a copout so the writers don’t have to deal with abortion (see: the “convenient miscarriage” trope in TV most recently depicted on And Just Like That). As “common” as they are on screen, the gory details are usually spared. In Grey’s Anatomy, when Cristina Yang has a miscarriage in Season 2, the focus of her recovery is on her emotional coldness towards the incident (she eventually cries so hard she delivers the now iconic and much-memed “Somebody sedate me!” line), not the physical specifics. When Meredith Grey and Miranda Bailey experience their own in later seasons, the medical ramifications, aside from some blood, are also glossed over. read more
