For those not chronically online, terms like “coquette,” “coastal grandma,” and “quiet luxury” may leave you a bit puzzled. For those whose screen time runs higher than you’d like, you might have already conjured up an image in your head for each packaged-up style interest. Quiet luxury will have you envisioning the whispered effortlessness of The Row and anything worn by Logan Roy in Succession. Coquette will transport you into Sandy Liang’s world filled with bows, ruffles, and the innate feeling of healing one’s inner child. And 2024’s first buzzy aesthetic, “eclectic grandpa,” coined by Pinterest, which predicted the trend to grow in virality this year (it cited an increase in searches for the terms “grandpa core” and “grandpa style” in December), is composed of kitschy knitwear, loafers, baseball caps, wrist watches, and anything retro or vintage adjacent. With this in mind, my mind immediately jumps to anything designed by Emily Bode, the street style of Princess Diana, and the top contenders of GQ’s best-dressed list—particularly Pedro Pascal. read more

I’ve noticed a major shift in the overarching fashion realm and maybe you’ve noticed it, too. Style right now is heading in a very elegant direction where we’ve taken a sharp pivot away from experimental Y2K trends and have begun embracing polished, grown-up, and utterly sophisticated looks. You might be thinking that this is simply the next phase of the quiet-luxury movement, and you wouldn’t be wrong about that. But the mood du jour is also one that’s inspired by the opulence of 1960s fashion with elements like A-line skirts, luxe duchess satin, and lots of belted silhouettes. read more

My denim collection is, admittedly, vast. Through the years, I’ve got my hands on almost every style imaginable, from wide-leg jeans and retro-inspired flares to skinny jeans and trendy balloon-style denim. While I think every style has its place, my current go-to style is straight-leg jeans. I appreciate their versatility, timelessness, and, for one pair in particular, their unrivaled comfort. Enter the Levi’s Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans ($55, originally $80), which I recently added to my Amazon shopping cart in the bestselling style Summer Slide. Having heard my coworkers rave about them before, I felt it was due time to test them to find out what the hype was all about. Ahead, I explain what makes them so special. read more
