Once upon a fashion cycle, one key handbag trend will emerge and be spotted on the coolest, most discerning dressers around the world. This year, I predict that style will be nothing new, but rather a handbag that has been stealthily rising through the ranks. I've clocked it taking over the runways and swinging on the arms of some of our favourite influencers. Yes, it's the camera bag, and I know it will take the handbag crown this spring.

Equal parts practical, chic and sturdy, the camera bag is structured to house, yes, you guessed it, cameras. Camera bags have been around since the cameras themselves became handheld, mobile and transportable, needing protection from the elements and general wear and tear, as well as space for lenses, flash and batteries. These days, fashion people are using this geek-chic style to contain their daily essentials, with the multiple outside pockets adding to its utilitarian appeal, and the versatile strap allowing for shoulder or crossbody wear.

Acne Studios debuted its take on the camera bag during its spring/summer 2025 show, naming it the Camero. It taps into the brand's off-kilter, slightly grungy but wholly Scandi brand identity beautifully, and the fashion set are adopting it now, ahead of it hitting mainstream this year. Miu Miu, Gucci and Chloé have also been championing this bag style, adding their house codes and characteristics to this boxy handbag shape to bring it thoroughly up to date. On offer now are large, medium and mini sizes, as well as luxurious leather, corduroy, croc-effect and sumptuous suede takes, so there's something for every fashion palette.

Keen to check out your next forever bag? I sure am! Ahead, I've rounded up the best camera bags available to shop now.

Another day, another standout look from Jennifer Lopez that has our editors talking. This time it's Lopez's "dirty wash" jeans that have our attention as well as her fun choice of platform boots. The stylish multi-hyphenate was spotted on the streets of New York City donning the two pieces, and there is no denying that her controversial jeans will be dividing the masses on their appeal. One thing is certain: Lopez is never one to shy away from a shocking trend. She did break the internet with her famous Versace dress moment, after all.

Really, the outfit's mix of an oversize sweater with baggy jeans and statement boots is nothing new. If anything, it is perfectly on-trend. It's the dirt-laden ACNE Studios denim design that is turning heads. As for the boots, her R13 pair is often mistaken for the über-popular Ugg platform style we have seen everywhere the past few years. At the end of the day, J.Lo has us hanging on to her every last look for a reason. Keep scrolling to shop her exact look—which is dangerously close to selling out—plus some other chic alternatives worth considering.

Winter and luxury are two words that just go hand in hand in the world of fashion. After all, it is the season of over-indulgence, so why not extend the sentiment to our wardrobes too? We've already nailed our layering choices throughout autumn, and now we're looking for pieces that can cater to our consistent need for cold-weather style. The importance of finding those hero pieces that can stand up for winters to come is a responsibility that I personally think lies in the territory of investment buys.

I can attest for myself and say that my favourite items in my winter wardrobe are the classics that have seen me through year after year and which I still get unashamedly excited to dust off as soon as winter rolls around. These are the pieces that we can rely on, the ones that never fail to get us compliments and can withstand any trend cycle. But if you're struggling to think of a few items you already own that are worthy of a place on your forever list, then read on, as I've narrowed down five key pieces that are well worth the investment. 

1. Wool Coat

Style Notes: I'm not shy about my love for a chic long, wool coat. This kind of coat is simply a no-brainer during a cold winter—it boasts practicality by guaranteeing warmth, yet is so effortlessly stylish and easy to wear. Although some can come with a bold price tag, I still strongly believe that it's best to have one in your wardrobe for this time of year. After all, something this classic will last you for years and years. On those wintery nights out, pair with a sleek ribbed dress and boots, then dress down with a pair of straight-leg jeans and a fine merino knit.

2. Leather Jacket 

Style Notes: The iconic leather jacket is an item that can carry you through all seasons. Easy to layer, this classic piece adds an element of cool to any winter outfit. It's a classic for a reason, and in my opinion, is superior to every other jacket trend. I love Anouk Yve's bomber style (pictured above), which is effortlessly balanced with slim-fit jeans and loafers. There are countless ways to incorporate a leather jacket, whether that be a biker, blazer or trench. Style with statement accessories like a bright beanie or beret.

3. Sleek, Chunky Scarf

Style Notes: Winter accessories are hands down my favourite part of chilly-season fashion. You're given the chance to add a whole new dimension to outfits that you've had on rotation for a good few days or weeks, not to mention the extra layers of warmth that a scarf, hat and gloves bring. In particular, the statement chunky scarf knows exactly how to put in the work for your wintery outfit. Whether it's a pop of colour, a contrast in texture or just a switch up in silhouette, a good scarf can do it all.

4. Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: When the cold creeps in, classic knee-high boots make their way to the front of the shoe rack. They mean business and are an easy way to elevate your winter ensembles. With so many variations to choose from and so much styling potential, there's truly a boot for everyone. This is an investment buy you won't regret.

5. Bold Knit

Style Notes: A statement knit is that one item you look forward to styling every winter. It's your favourite of the bunch—the one that washes well, maintains its vibrancy and above all, keeps you cosy. You needn't worry about what the rest of your outfit is doing when you have this to bring it all together. A stellar knit should be versatile enough to wear throughout party season as well as on errand-running days, and I love Laura Klein's vibrant argyle jumper (pictured above) for this reason. Paired with straight-leg jeans, it's a look to rotate all winter long.

Rosalia has nearly 26 million followers on Instagram, but nothing about her profile would make you know it. Aside from the glossy promotional imagery (she recently released a new single, TUYA), her posts are relatively lo-fi and refreshingly intimate. They're often blurry and sometimes out of focus. Sometimes scrolling through her profile feels like a friend dropping random pictures in the group chat. The Spanish singer may have an unpretentious approach to social media, but the fashion in her snaps is a big deal.

With the release of her 2022 album Motomami, Rosalia has officially crossed over into the pop mainstream. Her status as a major fashion girl on the scene has been even further cemented over the past year as she starred in campaigns for Acne Studios and Skims and performed at Louis Vuitton's menswear show in January. Last year the singer made her Met Gala debut with the endorsement of Givenchy, wearing a custom embellished gown designed by the house's creative director Matthew Williams. 

Despite all the support from big names in the industry, there's still a sense that Rosalia likes to play around with clothes for fun. Her style feels more authentic than upholding the status quo of what a pop star should dress like. A big reason why her style continues to intrigue me. And I've been especially paying attention as of late—the singer is currently in the midst of a European tour which means plenty of style moments to document along the way. Thus far, I've saved a lot of her summer looks onto my digital mood board (and she's inspired a recent impulse to buy a cool moto jacket). Keep scrolling to see how she's influencing my seasonal style (and the pieces she seems to love).

Moto Jackets

We'll start with the obvious: Rosalia likes her moto jackets. And coming off an era where the music quite literally references motorcycle culture, the singer has been wearing a lot of them lately. Moto jackets have always had an intriguing pull over me, but it's been a while since I've had one within my wardrobe. Australian label I Am Gia upgraded the concept by through in a matching skirt, and now I'm officially sold.

Sleek Shield Sunglasses

As a sunglasses person, I can relate to Rosalia's fixation over shield sunglasses on a spiritual level. The silhouette makes sense in light of her Motomami aesthetic, and she's taken to wearing them with dresses, tanks and trousers, and everything in between.

Chiffon Ruffles

Browsing through the singer's Rolodex of fashions, I get the feeling she's like all of my editor friends who have an extensive list of Ssense orders. The clue? This ruffle dress from the cool-girl label KNWLS. While an insider favorite, the brand isn't a red carpet regular per se—it's an if you know, then you know case. The dress has since sold out, but fortunately, the chiffon ruffle wave continues to hold strong this season, and plenty of designers have entered the mix.

Loose Trousers

Loose trousers look good on everyone, and Rosalia (or her stylist) knows this. She often pairs them with printed tanks or artsy cropped tops, taking the polished staple a little more cool and casual.

Blurred Prints

For a trip to Greece, Rosalia pulled out this semi-sheer dress from Paloma Wool. I love how this type of dress is a statement on its own, so heavy accessories aren't necessary. 

Sheer Graphic Tops

Artful prints always make everything cooler, and this outfit is exhibit A. Rosalia's top is by Chopova Lowena—New Yorkers seem to be especially fervent fans of the brand—and the bold pattern amps of the rest of her look. 

Pointed-Toe Pumps

If there was any doubt that Rosalia was a true fashion person, may it be erased with this image of vintage Dior Rasta pumps. It's true that vintage pumps from the 2000s are experiencing a bit of a revival, but it takes some digging to find a Dior Rasta version in pristine condition. Since finding a pair in my size would be nothing short of a miracle, I'm opting for vintage-inspired heels in the meantime.

Much like Melrose Place in West Hollywood and SoHo in New York, the Design District in Miami is quickly establishing itself as a global shopping destination for the aesthetically driven, design-minded, and fashion-obsessive among us. Within the last year alone, ACNE Studios, Cult Gaia, and Nodaleto have all opened up their doors in the area alongside established luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci who have called the District home for nearly a decade.

While the shopping is really good, this neighborhood is hardly exclusive to fashion brands. It's also a hub for art (the Institute for Contemporary Art Museum is just steps away from the clothing stores), interior design (Fendi Casa and B&B Italia also call it home), and food (restaurants Contessa, Mandolin and Swan bring crowds of stylish diners).

On a recent trip to Florida's cultural capital, I decided to acquaint myself with the Design District and I spent an afternoon browsing its best stores both new and old. As someone with a keen appreciation for art and design, I was mesmerized by the store design and architecture of these spaces as much as the clothing and accessories themselves. From Bottega Veneta's dusty pink spiral staircase to the silver couch inside the Cult Gaia store, the stores I popped into were, simply put, an experience.

Ahead, I'm diving into the eight best stores I checked out in Miami's Design District and highlighting the key buys that wowed me from each of them. Bookmark these names for your next visit if you know what's good for you.

Leave it to Jasmin Larian to create an otherworldly space for Cult Gaia's first-ever retail store. As soon as I stepped inside, I was surrounded by racks of the brand's candy-hued resort wear and crystal-adorned accessories arranged on racks and tables that deserve to have their own showroom, too. At the center of the space was an open seating area complete with a silver foil couch and a bench made entirely from strings of silver beads. 

I couldn't resist pulling a few fun options to try on while I was there. Namely, this halter minidress that just screamed "I'm in Miami." It's the kind of perfect vacation dress that does all the styling work for you—the built-in hardware is like its own jewelry and the print says "I put in a lot of effort" even if you didn't.

One thing about me is that I can never resist a good matching set. Luckily, there are plenty to choose from at this Cult Gaia outpost, from the brightly colored miniskirt sets to the breezy linens like this white crop-top–and–cargo-pants duo that I was instantly drawn to. While you can't see it here, the top is completely backless with a cool gold chain strap.

While so many brands are just now hopping on the Design District bandwagon, Tory Burch was in the earliest wave of brands who flocked to Miami. Its sprawling two-floor setup feels so soothing with its travertine tables and Mediterranean olive trees that house a tightly edited array of its bags, shoes, ready-to-wear, jewelry, and even a display of the brand's home collection. There are a few elements that give the store a distinctly local feel and one of them is a gallery wall of photographs that Burch commissioned from Miami-based artist Clara Toro during Art Basel in December.

I was also curious to know how the brand's much-talked-about new visual direction was translating to its retail stores, and when I visited, they had just finished redoing the entire exterior to reflect a more muted and organic energy.

The first thing I did was beeline to the bags. Well, one bag, in particular, the new Ella Mini. the shopping tote that's been a best-seller since 2008 just came out in a few spring-ready colors like this mint green color and a pretty petunia hue. If you look closely, you'll see that the style I'm holding is a softer and puffier version of the original because it's made from an innovative plant-based vegan leather.

It would be sacrilege to enter a Tory Burch dressing room without trying on one of the signature fit-and-flare dresses, so I didn't dare skip this half-velvet, half-cotton midi number, and I'm so glad I didn't because the fit and shape are exceptional.

Hardware is something Burch has always done especially well and this simple cardigan might just be the best example with its large logo-sculpted buttons that are a work of art in their own right.

Speaking of works of art, let's hear it for these color-blocked slides. As someone who's color-shy, the combination and placement here make wearing bright colors like fiery red and butter yellow seem so easy. I'd bet anything they'll earn droves of compliments, too.

For its first-ever brick-and-mortar outpost, the Parisian shoe label chose none other than Miami to plant its retail roots. It opened this past December during Art Basel and features these red velvet loungers that are both sexy and fantastical. The scooped-out shape makes you want to lie on your side and gossip with a friend, martini in hand.

Metallic shoes *are* the moment, as are Mary-Jane styles. The two of them combined might just make the perfect (and only) pair to ever slip your feet into in 2023. A bold claim, yes, but after doing just that myself, the comfort level really sealed the deal.

Of course, it wouldn't be Nodaleto without a mega platform, and this black velvet pair complete with crystal buckles really delivered on the brand's va-va-voom, and then some. Just add sheer tights and a minidress.

This might seem counterintuitive for someone who writes about Bottega Veneta quite often, but I try to avoid wandering into its stores for the sake of my bank account. On this occasion, I mustered up my strongest self-control and strolled in (purely for research purposes!). I have to say that before I even stepped foot inside I was already impressed—the very door handle to the store is blown-up interpretation of the gold hardware you'll find on some BV bags. I was in for a treat.

I hate to admit it, but the It item of the moment, the Drop Earrings, were even better when I tried them on in person. They're shockingly lightweight and curve down under the earlobe in the most satisfying way. I finally understand the hype around them and why they were and continue to be perpetually sold out.

The flannel-printed shirt and denim-printed leather pieces are the kinds of items you just have to see in person to fully appreciate because it's hard to grasp just how much the fabric looks like the print it imitates from photos alone. 

Miami-based brand Alexis was an absolute delight. I had never tried on anything from them before although I've been a fan of its pretty dresses on Saks, Revolve, and Nordstrom for a while now. While I'll dive into the cute clothes I saw and tried on in-store in a minute, let me just say that as someone who often tries on and reviews clothes for a living, the quality, fit, and attention to detail at Alexis is truly unmatched. These are forever clothes that are excellent investments.

Wedding guest dressing and events are what they do best, kind of like a Cult Gaia meets Zimmermann, with a sophisticated overtone that makes it feel less trendy but no less exciting. 

Oh, her? She's the moment. Seeing as the rosette trend is hitting its peak right now, this flower-adorned jumpsuit was speaking to me and the fit and material were top-notch, too. 

As I mentioned, I was seriously impressed with the material and construction of all the pieces I tried. Details like a snap closure instead of those little hooks that are impossible to close and a wide zipper really made a big difference in my mind. Also, how chic is this buckle-waist midi dress?

Playful hardware were peppered throughout the collection, including on this skirt set complete with silver grommets. 

With Reformation stores, you always know what you're getting (i.e. a dressing room with customizable lighting depending on your mood and a touch screen to swap out sizes and styles without having to awkwardly step out and ask). Its location in the Miami Design District wasn't massive but featured all its best-selling items of the moment, from the denim midi skirt to the high-neck tee everyone on TikTok adores. It also features a wall of Ref shoes, including plenty of its heeled sandals that are ideal for the South Florida climate.

Miami's 80-degree weather called for a breezy linen dress, and the Tagliatelle style (also my favorite type of pasta), did not disappoint. The fitted bodice and scalloped lace neckline were delightful details that make this a perfect summer LBD.

If you can get past the harsh lines of my sunburn, you'll notice how cool this halter neck top is. Zoom in to fully appreciate the Y2K buckle detail on the strap. This is what I mean when I say "going out top."

I also couldn't pass up the opportunity to try on the denim midi skirt that Who What Wear editors have been talking about nonstop. The white version felt especially fitting for Miami's eternal summer and paired so well with many of the printed tops I tried on.

Another Ref item I've heard my WWW colleagues raving about is this '60s-style satin dress that has major Prada energy. I can confirm that the material is so soft and nice and I love the idea of wearing it as a fun bridal look (ahem, any brides-to-be out there?).

Last, but certainly not least, was this lace-up top that immediately transported me to a town in Tuscany with its vintage-inspired print and sweetheart neckline. I ended up bringing this one to the register and now want to fly back just for the matching skirt.

ACNE Studios is the newest kid on the block, having just opened its doors this month across the street from Nodaleto and Swan and next door to the ICA museum. Its two-floor concept space teams the feeling of an art gallery with a boutique. Key looks from its spring/summer 2023 runway featured prominently alongside its OG Musubi bags.

Prada motifs like geometric triangles and tonal lilies were woven into the fabric of the store via sprawling carpets and textured walls. A selection of its custom runway looks from spring 2023 was on display despite some of them not being put into production, so it felt like visiting a Prada archive at the same time.

When Jemima Kirke agreed to document her trip to Paris Fashion Week exclusively for Who What Wear, we knew were in for some fun. The actor—whose latest project, the Apple TV+ drama series City on Fire, premieres May 12—is never one to take life, or fashion for that matter, too seriously. Arriving with a packed schedule that included stops at Givenchy, Paco Rabanne, Isabel Marant, Courrèges, and ACNE Studios in addition to a few soirées, Kirke capped off what has been a long but fruitful fashion month filled with jaw-dropping sartorial moments both on and off the runways. 

From taking epic selfies with her front-row partner Lisa Rinna to gushing over fellow actor Bel Powley and embracing sheer dressing, Kirke came, saw, and conquered PFW in the best way. Here's how she saw it…

"I sat next to Lisa Rinna at three different shows. We found it funny how we kept being put with one another. Turns out we're two peas in a pod."

"Post–Givenchy show. Talking to I-D mag. She was English. I was comfortable—maybe too comfortable. I guess we'll soon see."

"Everyone chill. It's Paris, and it's not even lit."

"It's funny how irritated some women get to see you in sheer clothing. Women hate when other women know they look good. Well, after this look, I noticed that the see-through look is a thing. So over and out for now."

"There's something glamorous and nostalgic about scrawling a poem or a drawing on hotel stationery, from a Holiday Inn to the chateau. It's a 'Jem woz here' moment."

"Alice [Dellal] came from London to visit and sleep in my bed. I don't love sharing beds, and she is no exception. But no matter. We were gonna go out and go hard, and there would be no room for sleeping. So we naturally called Derek for tips. After almost two hours of dressing ourselves, I asked her, 'How old are you?' I'd forgotten. 'Thirty-five,' she said. 'You?' '38.' We looked at each other in horror as it dawned on us. We were having an Ab Fab moment. We laughed hysterically, then fought over who was who."

"First fitting. Courrèges. I asked for a few more items with color. They smiled, knowingly, and told me to get dressed. The French fashion world has a way of knowing exactly what you should wear. In my experience, they are always right."

"One of the Paco Rabanne options. This was the first choice of the peanut gallery. I'm at the age where I'm more aware of what looks 'age' me. For some reason, I thought this was one of those looks. But again, wrong."

"The Paco winner. Disco Cleopatra wearing the jacket of a guy she gave a fake number to."

"I've always believed in fake flowers."

"I noticed Bel [Powley] at the ACNE dinner, and I remembered my jealousy when I first saw her performance in Diary of a Teenage Girl. Artists are like that. But we like to lie and say we're not. Then she looked at me and bounded over to me. Her big ol' Victorian eyes undid me, and it was that nauseating moment of two actors gushing over each other. So we got a room."

"Leaving Paris. No sleep because business class. Showing off my new bag by my cousin, designer, and namesake of Charlotte Olympia."

Everything feels better when you do it in a dress. That feeling is increased twofold when it comes to sitting down for a delicious meal outside. From the comfortable breeze to the orange sunset glow, nothing tops dining alfresco in a pretty dress while taking in the summer scenery. In fact, it's pretty much all I want to do right now. My humble balcony has seen more scrappy candlelit dinners than I'd care to admit.

You technically don't have to dress up every time you enjoy a plate of pasta outdoors, but wearing a nice dress surely enhances the experience. Should you, too, have many evenings of alfresco dinners ahead, take time to consider the below dresses. From elegant silk numbers to low-key floral pieces, each is exactly what I envision wearing on a warm night while downing a glass of wine and a delectable cheese plate. Even if you prefer to eat indoors, these dresses are simply so pretty that you're bound to wear them for at least one occasion this season. Scroll on to shop my favorites and see some summer inspiration.

As a fashion editor, fashion week is the industry equivalent of the Super Bowl. It's the event we anxiously anticipate twice a year to see the fresh ideas that will be on everyone's lips in the next few months. And with the recent conclusion of the fall/winter presentations, there are plenty of new and exciting ideas to talk about.

The fall collections brought a mixture of practicality, as seen by the sudden explosion of the white tank top at Bottega Veneta and Prada, and a heightened sense of drama that embodied fantasy and grandeur (just take a look at Valentino's all-pink runway show for further proof). After scanning the runways of Paris, New York, Milan, and London, I summed up a few of the overarching trends and ideas that dominated the season. Whether it's for the forward concept they represent or the innovative way they're styled, these are the looks I'm rushing to replicate ASAP.

Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Look 20

Fashion week can create a collective rush to invest in new trends and new It pieces, so it's welcomed change when a designer comes up with something that can be re-created with staples already sitting in our closets. This pairing of a turtleneck dress and knee-high boots is chic and edgy yet effortless and straight to the point, which is the very essence of cool. As the weather transitions to full-scale sunshine and warm temps, this is an outfit to have in your Rolodex.

Valentino, Look 6

When half of your collection is hot pink—which was the case at Pierpaolo Piccioli's most recent Valentino show—it's essentially a strong endorsement. Bold, saturated hues are already a huge force on the trend circuit, and now, I have no doubt it will remain that way firmly into 2023. To get prepared ahead of time, I'm snapping up pieces in this audacious color, from suiting to dresses. 

Shop the look:

Louis Vuitton, Look 1

I can always count on quirky styling from Louis Vuitton. Most of the time, the brand is difficult to replicate, as everything feels so completely unique that you sort of have to buy that specific item to get that same feel, but for fall/winter 2022, I was pleasantly surprised by the practicality of the opening looks. The combination of baggy trousers, a loose leather jacket, and a tie is a different take on menswear-inspired dressing that I haven't seen yet. 

Shop the look:

Prada, Look 23

Since its debut in March, Prada's white logo tank has found its way into almost every conversation among the fashion set. It's luxury in the most accessible sense, which is why the piece has found a gaggle of fans across all corners of the industry. While you can't get your hands on one just yet, the look is still simple enough to emulate with a few substitutions.

Shop the look:

Victor Glemaud, Look 21

There's something so cinematic about this look, and I can't get over it. Reminiscent of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, it's a touch seductive but powerful all the same. Beyond the drama, I'm most intrigued by the addition of the hood. It's not the typical "hoodie" dress that belongs in the athleisure department—there's a formality and subtle glamour that makes me excited to see more hooded styles reach the masses. Balmain has made a sleek hooded bodysuit that I can't wait to try until then. And of course, you have to include Alaïa's iconic hooded dress in the mix.

Shop the look:

ACNE Studios, Look 17

The quickest way for me to go broke is to watch an ACNE Studios show. When it's over, I have 50 different shopping tabs open and a sudden urge to buy anything remotely similar. It's one of the shows I continually look to every season for new inspiration, and this was no different. The usage of chunky knits was one of my favorite bits, including this outfit with detached sweater sleeves. I've been behind this trend since last year, so it's thrilling to see it remain a big idea in 2022. Until I can buy it later this year, I'll be sporting detached sleeves with all of my denim and dresses.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: The classic LBD will always reign supreme. And while we certainly don't need additional proof to authenticate the above statement, Hailey Bieber's latest look gave us just that—and so much more.

On Monday night, Hailey and Justin Bieber attended the Royal Opera House in London, England, for a performance of The Nutcracker. Naturally, they both dressed for the holiday occasion, with Justin choosing to wear head-to-toe Balenciaga, including a gray, plaid suit and chunky sneakers, and Hailey showing off an itty-bitty black minidress from ACNE Studios. The dress, from the Swedish brand's F/W 21 collection, featured two front jet pockets, a tailored bodice, and exaggerated shoulders. Though quite nearly sold out, Bieber's exact style is still available in selected sizes. In other words, shop it before it's too late.

Adding to the classic look, the model wore a pair of sleek black Wolford tights and matching pumps from Saint Laurent's S/S 22 collection. Keep scrolling to see her entire look for the couple's (date) night at the opera.

Next up: Hailey Bieber Wore the Surprising Trend That's Going to Be Controversial in 2022

Is it too early to be thinking about spring? Not if I have anything to do with it. It's true that the worst of winter has yet to rear its head (blizzards and parties included), but the thought of vivid, saturated colours and breezy fabrics is all that's occupying my mind right now.

Much of that has to do with the brilliant looks showcased during the S/S 22 shows. From Miu Miu's "early aughts meets prep school" collection to Jil Sander's minimalist show, there were several standout moments that have lived in my head rent-free since their debuts in October. They've also inspired a shopping list of items to buy to re-create these outfits immediately. To get the full rundown of the runway looks that are capturing my attention right now, keep scrolling. The early bird gets the worm.

Miu Miu, Look 4

As it was arguably the show of the season, all eyes were on Miu Miu's interpretation of the prep-school aesthetic. While the extreme minis and tiny tube tops were too exposing for my everyday look, I was instantly drawn to this more modest take in look four of the collection. Immediately, my eyes honed in on the pleated skirt's raw hem and low-rise waistline (also a tad controversial), two minor details that make this look feel really fresh. To create a similar effect, I'd cut the hem of a regular pleated skirt and size up for the skirt to sit low at the waist.

Shop the look:

Jil Sander, Look 6

No one masters low-key elegance quite like Jil Sander. The brand has a way of creating relatively simple looks that, although understated, still pack a punch. Case in point: this daffodil-yellow monochromatic dream. Tonal dressing isn't anything new, but what sets this apart is the matching accessories and opposing textures. I'm trying this with similar leather pants and a bright coat.

Shop the look:

Y/Project, Look 2

When I'm in the mood for creative drama, Y/Project always fits the bill. Usually, the brand's outfits are so specific it's a bit hard to re-create them without buying the actual thing, but this look includes a head-to-toe denim ensemble that's easier to interpret. With denim skirts on the rise, it's cool to put the trend in action with a maxi skirt and jacket.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Look 40

Nineties minimalism reached a fever pitch with Maryam Nassir Zadeh's streamlined S/S 22 show. The clothes reflected Zadeh's pared-down approach with clean tailored pieces in subdued prints and muted colors. I loved this outfit featuring a simple racerback tank and trousers, both in a slate gray that feels very commanding. The entire look feels reminiscent of classic Helmut Lang, and I'm loving every bit of it.

Shop the look:

Marques'Almeida, Look 1

This look from British label Marques'Almeida reimagines formal black-tie attire. You can always expect the unexpected when it comes to the label, and this look is a quintessential example. Shield sunglasses add a sporty twist to this beautiful strapless gown while dialing up the impact. Excuse me—I'll just be wearing sporty sunnies with my dresses from now on.

ACNE Studios, Look 10

Nothing thrills me like a corset moment, and this season's best one comes courtesy of one of my favorite brands, ACNE Studios. The outfit itself isn't complicated, but I love how it's an entirely different way of styling a corset that we haven't seen a lot of yet. I can see myself wearing this to a fashion party or to a friendly soirée when serving up a lewk is the objective.

Up next: the key trends for autumn winter 2021.

Don't mind me. I'm just basking in the anticipation of 70-degree days and ice cream weather. With the worst of winter firmly behind us (blizzards and holiday parties included), vivid, saturated colors and breezy fabrics are all that's occupying my mind right now.

Much of that has to do with the brilliant looks showcased during the S/S 22 shows. From Miu Miu's "early aughts meets prep school" collection to Jil Sander's minimalist show, there were several standout moments that have lived in my head rent-free since their debuts in October. They've also inspired a shopping list of items to buy to re-create these outfits immediately. To get the full rundown of the runway looks that are capturing my attention right now, keep scrolling. 

Miu Miu, Look 4

As it was arguably the show of the season, all eyes were on Miu Miu's interpretation of the prep-school aesthetic. While the extreme minis and tiny tube tops were too exposing for my everyday look, I was instantly drawn to this more modest take in look four of the collection. Immediately, my eyes honed in on the pleated skirt's raw hem and low-rise waistline (also a tad controversial), two minor details that make this look feel really fresh. To create a similar effect, I'd cut the hem of a regular pleated skirt and size up for the skirt to sit low at the waist.

Shop the look:

Jil Sander, Look 6

No one masters low-key elegance quite like Jil Sander. The brand has a way of creating relatively simple looks that, although understated, still pack a punch. Case in point: this daffodil-yellow monochromatic dream. Tonal dressing isn't anything new, but the matching accessories and opposing textures set this apart. I'm trying this with similar leather pants and a bright coat.

Shop the look:

Y/Project, Look 2

When I'm in the mood for creative drama, Y/Project always fits the bill. Usually, the brand's outfits are so specific it's a bit hard to re-create them without buying the actual thing, but this look includes a head-to-toe denim ensemble that's easier to interpret. With denim skirts on the rise, it's cool to put the trend in action with a maxi skirt and jacket.

I have a problem. 

Somehow, despite owning drawers and drawers of sweatshirts, I cannot stop buying more. Here’s what happens: I go to boutiques or department stores with the intention of buying new jeans, maybe finding appropriate shoes to wear to work, or sometimes I literally just go to Soho to walk my dog and browse. And yet in all of these scenarios, I have somehow left with a new sweatshirt. This happens so much that my closet is approximately 80% sweatshirts, 15% other clothing, and 5% dog hair.

For a large portion of the year, I cannot defend my actions. "Gaby, why in the world do you need a lavender, sherpa-lined hoodie in August?” my mom might ask, as we FaceTime so I can show her my latest treasure and then quickly hang up when I realize I have no justifiable answer. This goes on for a few months every year, and as my drawer of sweatshirts increases, the temperature starts to decrease. Finally, it’s sweater weather. 

This is all to say that I have a lot of experience in the densely populated sweatshirt industry and have therefore rounded up the 16 best designer sweatshirts to keep you warm and toasty this winter. Fair warning, some may cost a hefty sum, but I like to think of it as window shopping (or in this case MacBook shopping). The variety of styles and styling has allowed me to create more outfits incorporating sweatshirts than I would have thought possible. 

While buying an expensive trendy item may seem pointless, purchasing a sweatshirt you love is actually an investment. Trends may come and go, but sweatshirts will always be in style. And that’s priceless. So Mom, if you are reading this, there’s your answer.

Up next, 20 Homewear Items We Are Currently Coveting Just Because

Searching for the perfect pair of boots is long, arduous work. There are heel heights to consider and toe shapes, how far they climb up the leg, and then, of course, there are countless colours to choose from. But let's simplify things for a second. It's widely agreed that black boots make for the most versatile, so let's focus on that. Then, the heel—it's nice to have a little bit of height, but as much as we'd like it to be otherwise, we certainly don't have any real need for a heel over the size of two inches right now. Ankle-grazing boots work well on everyone, so let's filter that in. And as for toe shape? Well, nothing looks quite so sharp as a pointed one. Put all of these factors together, and what do you get? The closest thing to the perfect pair of boots we can imagine, which, as it turns out, bears a striking resemblance to ACNE's Jensen boots.

A few years ago, ACNE Jensen boots were harder to get your hands on than vintage Chanel. They were like gold dust. Waiting lists were formed, and those lucky enough to secure a pair posted them gleefully on social media. And while they're somewhat easier to come by nowadays, their appeal hasn't waned. This is thanks to their classic design, which has given them endless wardrobe appeal. 

Inspired by traditional Chelsea styles, ACNE's Jensen boots provided a glossy take on the everyday, suits-all-occasions shoe. Keeping the Chelsea boot's trademark elasticated sides, Jensen updates include its signature pointed toe complete with a sliver of silver, a chunky heel and a distinctive V-shape to the shaft. The ankle height means the boots work well with straight-leg jeans or cropped trousers, while the simple silhouette allows them to be paired with statement prints or colours by way of midi skirts or dresses. 

Over the years, ACNE Jensen boots have become an integral part of the minimalist uniform. From September to May, nearly every pared-back influencer we follow pulls them out to pair with their camel coats, navy tailored trousers and cream knitwear for a chic look that required minimal effort. Sounds appealing, right?

Next Up, Spring/Summer 2022 Trends: The Only 17 Looks You Need to Know About

As fashion editors, we’re rather well acquainted with the trend cycle. We’ve witnessed hundreds of beautiful garments and many exquisitely crafted accessories rise in popularity, before ebbing out of style. There are, however, a few exceptional items that we’ve seen transcend this rhythm and reach true cult status. These special items have the rare ability to capture the fashion zeitgeist, riffing off a building trend and delivering a wardrobe-altering product.

There are a handful of true cult classics that offer a timeless look that always feels current. Khaite’s V-neck cashmere cardigan eclipses its peers, delivering a flattering, comfortable and wearable style that you’ll reach for for years to come, whilst The Row struck gold with its leather ankle boots that balance grunge with wearability. But, from luxury leaders such as Acne Studios and Miu Miu to high-street heroes including ARKET and COS, we’ve identified the cult buys for this season to give you a head start on honing your autumn/winter wardrobe in 2024. Read on to discover our top 12 cult fashion buys worth adding to your basket.

1. Miu Miu X New Balance 530 SL Trainers

Style Notes: Miu Miu's latest collab with New Balance has been swiped up quickly by the fashion set. The classic, chunky trainer features a mismatched laces with a distressed design, but its the suede fabrication that make these feel really luxurious. The humble trainer has peaked at cult status already this year, and we expect to see its popularity continue to grow through autumn and beyond.

Shop the Miu Miu X new Balance trainers:

2. Toteme Embroidered Scarf Jacket

Style Notes: It might not be brand new, but the longevity of Toteme's embroidered scarf jacket goes to show why it is a fan favourite amongst the Who What Wear UK team, years after it's initial debut. After the success of the O.G scarf coat, there are now more colours and lengths than the embroidered, so I'm secretly counting down the days until it's officially cold enough to safely cocoon myself in a jacket this cosy once again.

Shop the Toteme Scarf Coat:

3. The Row Margaux Bag

Style Notes: Every year I keep my eye out for the perfect pair of leather bag, and every year I come back to The Row. Already experts in autumn/winter accessories (hello, zip front ankle boots), the Margaux has served as this season's bowling bag inspo that has influenced every one from Prada to M&S. You can't ask for better proof that this is an icon in the making.

4. Aligne Reversible Check Trench Coat

Style Notes: I've spotted barn coats and trenches on all of my favourite influencers already this season, and I can't wait to nab this exceptional two-in-one hybrid (and reversible) coat from Aligne. Coming in at knee length and in classic camel, this elegant longline coat will l pair perfectly with just about every autumn ensemble we can think of.

5. Loewe Puzzle Bag

Style Notes: Loewe's ergonomic bag has been on our radar in a big way since it debuted in 2014. Now available in an ever broader range of colours, fabrics and sizes (suede, shearling and tote!), we're as charmed now as we were when we first laid eyes on it 10 years ago.

Shop Loewe Puzzle:

6. Dissh Linen Vest

Style Notes: The simple waistcoat's bigger, more sophisticated sister, the Dissh linen vest is the transitional wonder we didn't expect to be such a resounding hit. Like all sleeveless tops, it works just as well with summer skirts and sandals as it does a heavy winter coat and jeans.

Shop Dissh Vest:

7. Khaite Studs

Style Notes: Ever since Katie Holmes wore that cardigan in 2019, we haven't been able to get Khaite out of our minds. Always a cut above on quality and design, Khaite's latest offering of belts, shoes and of course bags, have made a hero of the oversized stud, and the effects are already being seen on the high street.

8. Max Mara Camel Coat

Style Notes: Nothing signals the change in seasons like a Max Mara wool coat. Autumn 2024 will still lean as heavily on Max Mara's classic camel coat, just as in seasons past.

9. ARKET Blazers

Style Notes: Arket's Wool Blend Blazers are every fashion insider's secret to elevating a casual look. Pairing as well with jeans and a white tee as it does an evening dress, this is the blazer we're banking on (again) this, and every autumn.

Shop ARKET Blazers:

10. COS Wide-Leg Twill Trousers

Style Notes: The perfect pair of trousers does exist. Coming in a range of colours, COS's wide-leg twill trousers are expertly pleated to drape loosely but elegantly on the leg.

Shop COS Wide Leg Trousers:

11. Sézane Le Cabas Tote Bag

Style Notes: COS' leather swing bag and Uniqlo's nylon crossbody were huge hits on the high street, but Sézane's stealth wealth tote is next on our radar as the premium bag to know. Composed of glossy patent leather (or soft suede), these sleek totes have featured front and centre in dozen's of Instagram pics this month.

Ah, Instagram. It has the power to connect us in ways we never imagined, but it also has the power to make us feel like everyone else has or does something better than we do. Ask any fashion person and I guarantee they'll admit that scrolling through their feed has caused them some sartorial envy at one point or another. Whether it's fabulous outerwear or unfairly chic bags, fashion influencers are typically flaunting some seriously cool pieces.

Since like most people, I have a limited bank account, I can't always just jump up and buy the wildly expensive pieces I find myself saving on the app. Instead, I've gotten pretty damn good at finding similar styles at a more reasonable price point. So I figured I'd share some of the pieces I found for less with you here today since I'm probably not the only one with a massive saved folder of pretty things.

From the shearling jacket of my dreams to the snakeskin boots I haven't stopped thinking about for months, these are the eight fashion-girl favorites that I found for significantly more affordable prices.

As quickly as the trend cycle moves these days, there are certain pieces that have moved out of the trend category and into the staple category. From a leather jacket to Levi's classic 501 jeans, certain items have withstood the coming and going of trends and can now be officially considered timeless. This also rings true in the shoe department. For example, Stuart Weitzman's Nudist Heels are no longer reserved strictly for red carpets.

In the boot department, there are quite a few styles that have also achieved this status and are now viewed as timeless—iconic, if you will. From the classic ankle boots that can be worn with everything to the combat boots almost every celebrity on the planet owns, below are the four pairs of everyday boots that everyone should have in their wardrobe. 

Sam Edelman Petty Boots

The OG ankle boots that go with everything from jeans to dresses have reached icon status. Virtually every fashion girl has owned these at some point in their life (and probably still does), and they show no sign of fading. The low block heel gives you just a bit of height while still being comfortable, and the short ankle height makes them incredibly versatile. 

ACNE Studios Jensen Boots

When you think of Chelsea boots, chances are you're picturing the ACNE Studios Jensen Boots. With their signature pointed toe and slight heel, these are the ankle boots nearly everyone pulls out to pair with their skinny jeans the moment fall approaches. 

Stuart Weitzman 5050 Boots

Stuart Weitzman has many signature shoe styles, with more than one of them being over-the-knee boots. But the flat 5050 boots with a stretchy back have become synonymous with winter. Fashion girls break these out year after year to look chic and stay warm during the colder months, and that's not changing anytime soon. 

Dr. Martens Pascal Boots

The number one combat boot style has always been (and likely always will be) Dr. Martens. After they skyrocketed to icon status in the '90s, here we are almost 30 years later and fashion girls are as obsessed as ever. Virtually every celebrity owns a pair, and they serve up constant outfit inspiration, so these boots will always be top of mind.

Here's the thing about politics: It's all one big performance. So, it's hard to believe that it took until 2019 for someone to create a captivating show that focuses so sharply on the behind-the-scenes machinations of creating a candidate in the modern era. Enter The Politician, the latest collaboration between Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, and Brad Falchuk (better known as the creators of Glee), which has been captivating viewers since it dropped on Netflix last week.

We were mesmerized by not only the incredible performances from Ben Platt, Lucy Boynton, and Gwyneth Paltrow but also the impeccable styling of each and every character. This key facet in the overall look and feel of The Politician can be attributed to its costume designer, Claire Parkinson. Although her IMDB credits go back to 2011, The Politician marks Claire's first foray into owning the costume design for an entire series, and we have to say, she definitely earned our vote. 

Below, check out Parkinson's takeover of the Who What Wear Instagram, in which she answered fan questions and shared sneak peeks on set, and the style tips we learned along the way. Regardless of whether you bleed blue or run red, we can all agree on one thing: We can't wait to see what Payton Hobart and his perfectly styled supporters are up to (and get dressed up in) for season two. 

Claire and her real-life sister/assistant, Lily, at the premiere of The Politician. 

Prioritize the Process

Mood-boarding is an essential part of the styling process and helps the actor to visualize their character before stepping on set. 

Q: Where did all the power suit inspo come from?

A: McAfee's style was inspired by David Bowie, Gloria Steinem, Katherine Hepburn, Mick Jagger, and many more!

Mood boards can also help inform your go-to brands for pulling looks based on the aesthetic trends that align with each character. 

Embrace Color and Power Suits

This matching oversize pink suit commands respect for all the right reasons. 

We feel Jackie O vibes radiating hard from the future first lady on the show, Alice. 

Payton's vibrant wardrobe proves that you can be a serious candidate without forgoing playful pops of color.

Accessorize Effectively

The contrast between Astrid's and Alice's styles makes it hard to believe they'll ever agree on anything. 

When it comes to politics, it helps to have a clear and concise platform. This "tennis" outfit is pretty straight forward, and we like that for Astrid. 

Embrace Androgyny

It was inspiring to see such strong fashion statements for all body types and identities, proving that modern-day politics don't have to be quite so binary. 

Skye is probably the best dressed of the whole lot—and that's saying something! We love her on-trend jumpsuits, accessories, and ambition.

Use IRL Inspiration

Q: Who as per you is the best-dressed politician?

A: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi always looks so chic! And we like how Senator Kamala Harris pairs her suits with smart sneakers when she's on the campaign trail.

If the environment is top of mind for you, there are more and more ways to shop sustainably. Here are some of our favorite tips and tricks for cutting down on your carbon footprint when it comes to shopping. 

Huge thanks to Parkinson for sharing her styling strategies with us. We can't wait to see what she has in store for season two!

Truth be told, fall is the best season in New York City. It’s not too hot, so you can walk from the High Line to Hudson Yards without breaking a sweat; not too cold, so you aren’t forced to ride the subway in your parka with everyone else packed in like sardines. In fact, it’s just right for a leather jacket, broken-in pair of jeans, and your best asphalt-kicking boots. Sartorially speaking, this season can last from early September to late November, so there are almost 100 days to experiment with autumn outfits. 

Of course, the standard NYC fashion-girl off-duty uniform would be, well, a little too uniform without a few accents and accessories that make it unique to the individual. Our favorite way to mix up the standard fall look is on-trend footwear. 

Below, you’ll find 12 pairs of boots that fashion girls are already wearing this season—a few of which will even carry us into winter thanks to waterproof materials and elevated treads. After all, when you’re an NYC girl, it’s essential to have several pairs of boots that were made for walking up and down Manhattan.

Remember when the term "dressing like a grandma" was an insult? If only we could all look so chic. Because fashion is one giant cycle, the trends of yesteryear are currently making a comeback—a big one at that. Namely, the trends making a splash are the pieces you'd likely find buried in your grandma's closet right now. Think thick-rimmed, oversize sunglasses and cozy knits with a side of colorful crochet. 

Since we already brought you the ones that were blowing up for summer, today, I'm delving into the retro trends the fashion set will be clamoring for come September. Each brings a particular flair that really sets an outfit apart from the cookie-cutter norm. And while they take inspiration from the past, how people are styling them in the present feels right on the mark for today. Keep scrolling to see all six grandma trends I expect to see a lot more of and to add them to your own closet ASAP. 

1. Crochet

The handicraft aesthetic has been slowly gaining momentum since earlier this spring and shows no signs of stopping ahead of fall. Crochet, in particular, has been a major part of the trend, with the core pieces being cardigans and vests that look as if your grandma knitted them by hand. Of course, in reality, crochet jeans from Free People are a world away from the homemade creations from your grandma, but they still offer a personal touch. From hats to scarves and pants, the name of the game is all things crochet.

Shop the trend:

2. Sweater-Vests

Still in love with your sweater-vest from last season? Good—the preppy-meets-grandma trend is here for another round, courtesy of the fashion set. Whether cable-knit, printed, cropped, or oversize, sweater-vests are a fun piece to add if you're in need of a light layer to effortlessly transition into colder temperatures. To keep it from looking too on the nose, pair it with jeans and heeled booties.

Shop the trend:

3. Dark, Thick-Rimmed Glasses

Looking back at childhood pictures, I could swear my grandma owned a pair of sunglasses just like this. Dark, thick-rimmed glasses have reemerged as a bona fide trend thanks to brands like Lexxola, Gucci, and Loewe. It's a cool nod to the past but also a strong accessory to jazz up a basic blazer or button-down.

Shop the trend:

4. Big Collars

Big collars are usually associated with tights, oversize glasses, and grandmas who have an affinity for knitting (just me?), but as of late, fashion people are itching to add this dramatic detail to the top of every fall outfit. It adds visual interest to your look, and you can typically find pretty versions at every price point. For those looking to give this trend a test-drive, try a detachable collar that can be worn along with any sweater or top.

Shop the trend:

5. Kitschy Cardigans

Now, you and your grandma have one more thing in common: knitted cardigans. Once a staple for grandparents who like to grab the early bird special, cardigans now feel just as stylish and fresh as they did decades ago. The key is to style them with cropped tops or bralettes—an interesting, kitschy pattern also helps. 

Shop the trend:

6. Ditsy Prints

Somewhere out there, someone's grandma has a house full of wallpaper just like this. Ditsy prints meet at the intersection of sweet and old-timey, but the floral pattern has recently become a cool style statement beyond its connections to grandmas around the globe. ACNE Studios featured the print within its fall collection, and similarly, other brands have adopted ditsy prints in pieces like midi skirts and prairie dresses. Consider it a more fall-appropriate way to wear florals.

Last month, we turned the spotlight on five women giving us new reason to love fall television. This time, we’re turning our attention to the big screen and calling out the women every movie fan should know. With award season just around the corner, Hollywood is bringing out its heavy-hitter films and this year’s lineup is filled with something for everyone. You have your star-studded twisted thrillers, your historical biopics, your Timothée Chalamet and Lucas Hedges tear-jerkers, and of course, your buzzy indies.

But it’s these noteworthy ladies who are bringing something fresh to the table. Not only are we impressed with their incredible work on the screen, and in one case, behind the camera too, but we asked these on-the-rise stars to share their fall fashion picks as well. Truth be told, they’ll have you reaching for your wallets stat. Before you make a beeline to the theaters (or Netflix), meet the women you’ll be talking about all season long.

WHO: Lorenza Izzo (@lorenzaizzo)

WHAT: Chilean actress Lorenza Izzo has had herself a busy start to fall with not one but two September feature films—both of which hit theaters on the same day. The first, family-friendly The House With a Clock in its Walls, had Izzo tapping into her humorous side alongside Cate Blanchett and Jack Black, while the second, Life Itself, put her dramatic acting chops to the test. Izzo can be seen next in one of the most anticipated films of 2019, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. While she can’t reveal too much about her character yet, she assures us it’s a project worth waiting for.

Unless you were on the set of The House With a Clock in its Walls you might not know that… “I’m the most energetic person, I’m the biggest goofball, and I love to entertain constantly. I love being the center of attention and thrive on it… haha. It’s not a very attractive quality, but there are very few things I enjoy more than making my family and friends laugh at my silliness.” 

Life Itself is a must-see for moviegoers because…"It’s like therapy, but more than that it’s a beautiful, heartbreaking, multigenerational, and international family story, which at its core gives hope, reminds you that life is actually very simple, and it comes down to those moments you’re not even aware of that shape your entire future. Contrary to what critics have been saying, I believe it is a very special film, which only time will tell.”

The thing I am enjoying most about filming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is… “EVERYTHING. Literally every single aspect of it. I have this way of thinking that my work is auditioning and audition prep. When I book a project, well that’s the gift, being on set and getting to learn and grow. This one project in particular is a dream come true, and I’m not just saying that—it is. I have a list of dreams and one of them is working with Quentin Tarantino. Well, actually a couple of those items in the list have been checked off because of this film but, I can’t reveal them… YET.”

The one thing I can say about my Once Upon a Time in Hollywood character is… “She’s larger than life. She’s a full blast of magnetic personality, and I love playing that!”

I’m drawn to female characters who are… “human. Women who are flawed and vulnerable and, because of that, brave.” 

The actor I’m dying to work with is… “Claire Danes, Penelope Cruz, and Lily Collins.”

The people I love to follow on Instagram are… “@latinoswithattitude, @overheardla, @thechain, and @rupikaur_.”

The Chilean beauty secret I swear by is…“less is more is the Chilean beauty motto. Women in general wear very little make up or none at all. I’m not sure that this is very Chilean only, but my grandmother taught me to never dry my face harshly, to tap lightly with the towel and to spray rose water at the end of my daily beauty routine. I always do that after washing my face.”

I instantly feel like myself when I put on… “my perfume. Scents are a huge thing in my life. I mix scents and rotate them. I have Santal 33 from Le Labo, and depending on the season and mood, I will add another scent. It also varies when I’m filming. I like choosing a perfume for each of my characters.”

My fall wardrobe would not be complete without these three pieces… 

WHO: Cailee Spaeny (@caileespaeny)

WHAT: When you know, you know, and about this I am certain: Cailee Spaeny is a star on the verge of a meteoric rise. The actress made her big-screen debut this spring in Pacific Rim: Uprising, but it’s her follow-up performances to the blockbuster that have us cheering for more from the 20-year-old. This month, Spaeny has audiences on the edge of their seats opposite an all-star cast, including Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, and Chris Hemsworth, in the ’60s-based mystery thriller Bad Times at The El Royale. And come Christmas, you’ll see Spaeny in an entirely different role, as Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s sister Jane in Focus Features’s On the Basis of Sex. With a TV series already lined up for 2019, Spaeny is primed to become your favorite fresh face too.

The reason I’m so drawn to characters like Rosie in Bad Times at the El Royale and Jane Ginsburg in On the Basis of Sex is that… “they are so completely different from one another. I always want to keep pushing myself to do something different.”

Unless you were on the set of Bad Times at the El Royale, you might not know that… “Jeff Bridges carries a panoramic camera and a game called Pass the Pigs with him at all times.”

The thing I enjoyed most about portraying Jane Ginsburg in On the Basis of Sex is… “all of the research I got to do and how inspired I was by so many powerful women like Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Gloria Steinem.”

The biggest step I took outside my comfort zone in the last year was… “exploring my independence and finding my own voice.”

The actor I’m dying to work with is… “Emma Stone! She just seems like the coolest person to be around.”

The people I love to follow on Instagram are… “@love.watts. They post so many weird/creepy/inspiring visuals that I’m really into.”

I instantly feel like myself when I put on… “something comfy yet stylish. I do believe you can be both.”

I would describe my first fashion week experience as… “a whirlwind of inspiration. The colors and collaboration of cinema that Raf Simmons used were so smart.”

My fall wardrobe would not be complete without these three items…

WHO: Jessica Barden (@jessybarden)

WHAT: Jessica Barden had me, and so many others, asking “Who is that girl?!” when she delivered a spectacular performance as the troubled Alyssa in Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World back in January. Luckily we get to see Barden’s star power again in The New Romantic, recipient of South by Southwest’s Best First Feature award. In the film, out next month, Barden plays college senior and writer Blake who dives into the world of sugar babies—women who date older men in exchange for gifts—in attempt to better her relationship column. Next, the 26-year-old will appear opposite Charlie Hunnam and Jack O'Connell in 2019’s Jungleland—swoon!

My elevator pitch of The New Romantic would be… “it's a movie for anyone who has ever made a series of decisions in their 20s based around the idea that this is what you are supposed to be doing in your 20s.” 

The thing I enjoyed most about being on the set of The New Romantic was… “working with Carly, the director, and all the actors. It was really amazing working with a director that was the same age as me and being able to speak as openly as we could about scenes we genuinely related to. Hayley Law is also one of my closest friends now, and we didn't even have to act with each other; we just became best friends.” 

The rom-com revival is so exciting right now because… “I feel like romantic comedies are different now. They challenge the female characters more. It's the perfect genre to keep pushing the boundaries on what types of characters we see on screen, as ultimately being in love or not is something everyone can relate to.” 

I couldn’t wait to start filming Jungleland with Charlie Hunnam and Jack O’Connell because… “Jungleland is a movie about brothers and how complicated but also loving that relationship can be. I really love my brothers, and I wanted to make something they could watch as well. I had looked up to Charlie and Jack for years and had always wanted to work with them. I knew we would all connect in some kind of way and I think we have.” 

I’m drawn to female characters who are…

“anything that I see that is like me or someone I know, and it makes me be like 'OMG! you would do that.'"

The actor/actress I’m dying to work with is… “Isabelle Huppert.”

The one character I’ve played who’s surprisingly similar to me is… “Blake in The New Romantic or Alyssa in The End of the F***ing World. That sounds crazy if you watch them, but I am genuinely both of those characters at the same time.”

The people I love to follow on Instagram are… “I love to follow Kelly Oxford, Joan Collins, and The Archbishop of Banterbury (you should follow them for memes!).” 

The British-girl fashion staple I can’t quit is… “I am obsessed with jackets of any kind. Mainly leather, but it has to be amazing enough to make an outfit better by itself. And it has to have pockets because I lose my Oyster cards if they go in my handbag.” 

My fall wardrobe would not be complete without these three pieces…

WHO: Hannah Marks (@hannahgmarks)

WHAT: Hannah Marks is 25 years old and already she has acting, writing, and directing credits to her name. That’s no easy feat. At a time when we need it most, Marks is keen on telling the stories of complex and flawed women—and we’re keen to watch. With her directorial debut After Everything, Marks puts her own spin on the romantic comedy and has audiences experiencing a roller coaster of emotions when a young marriage (portrayed by Jeremy Allen White and Maika Monroe) is put to the ultimate test. Marks’s second fall project, Banana Split, finds her both in front of and behind the camera and explores an unlikely friendship between two teenage girls, one of whom is dating the other’s ex. Did we mention Dylan Sprouse is the boyfriend? Yes, please!

As a writer, director, and actress, the stories I love telling are… "ones about flawed girls. It’s so great that more and more stories by and for women are being told, but I think it’s important that the characters are complex and imperfect.” 

What sets After Everything apart from other romantic comedies is… "it’s not about what you think it’s about. It’s about navigating a young marriage where the couple doesn’t know each other as well as they thought. It’s hopefully more frank and honest than a lot of movies about young people.” 

After Everything will make audiences… "I hope you laugh and cry and hug your loved ones!”

Unless you were on the set of Banana Split, you might not know that… "Dylan Sprouse is a huge nerd. Liana Liberato, Haley Ramm, and I have been friends for over a decade and have always dreamed of working together. Lots of former child actors in this one.”

The biggest step I took outside my comfort zone in the last year was… "boxing! I hate exercise more than anything—I feel so uncoordinated and stupid when I try—but boxing slowly but surely makes me feel stronger. And also drumming lessons.” 

The women in Hollywood who inspire me are… "Lena Dunham, Greta Gerwig, Ava DuVernay, Catherine Hardwicke, Tina Fey, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, Karyn Kusama, Desiree Akhavan, Jill Soloway, Reese Witherspoon… There are so many!”

The best fashion lesson I’ve learned from a costume designer or stylist is… "try something new! Don’t be afraid to mix patterns! Love your body!”

I instantly feel like myself when I put on… "jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers. (And, let’s be honest, pajamas).”

My fall wardrobe would not be complete without these three pieces…

WHO: Danielle Macdonald (@daniellemacdonald)

WHAT: The 2017 cult hit Patti Cake$ may have put Danielle Macdonald (and her surprise rap skills) on the map, but the Sydney-native is about to become a bona fide star, thanks to two major Netflix projects. In Dumplin’, a comedy musical based on the young adult book of the same name, Macdonald portrays plus-size teen Willowdean Dickson, who in protest of her mother (played by Jennifer Aniston) enters a beauty completion, turning the outdated pageant industry on its head. She’ll follow that up with another book adaptation for the streaming service, this time the post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box, starring Sandra Bullock and Sarah Paulson.

Dumplin’ will make audiences feel… “happy, I hope! It’s definitely a feel-good movie. It was the kind of movie I wanted to see as a teenager, and honestly, still love to watch. Hopefully people feel happy, hopeful, inspired, or confident watching this movie, just like I felt after reading the book.” 

The most incredible part of working alongside Jennifer Aniston is… “[she’s] a very giving actress. We met up before we started shooting to get to know each other, and she was always willing to tuck behind camera to say her dialogue just so I could see one of her eyes to help me. She is so talented and quick, and it was honestly so much fun to work opposite her, especially in the scenes where we are challenging each other.”

The most rewarding part of making Dumplin’ was… “I mean, I honestly just had the best time on that set. It was so much fun, every day. Long hours, long days, rehearsals on days off, but with the BEST people. The cast was amazing, the crew was amazing, it really just felt like we were all in it together, and we never let it get too serious. There were always jokes and good times. All of us had game nights in our hotel rooms when we weren’t working. Anne (our director) would be dancing at 4 a.m. to keep us energetic, and it was just amazing. I will never forget this experience. It really just felt like we all were lifting each other up every day.”

My first thought reading the Bird Box script was… “wow. I was actually filming Dumplin’ when I read the script. I had no time to read it before they wanted me to Skype with Susanne (the director), so I woke up after four hours of sleep to read it and Skype with her before I went back into work. It was crazy! I was wondering if it was the lack of sleep that made me so emotional while reading the script, or if it was just that good. But I loved it, and it held up even after I got a full night's sleep. I’m really excited for people to see this one. Sandy [Bullock] is such a strong, loving, flawed character, and I love watching her journey through this movie.”

I’m drawn to female characters who are… “strong. And flawed. And vulnerable. And real. Honestly, I love getting to play all different types of people. I feel like you always find something new within yourself every time you play a different kind of character, and I love that self-discovery. I feel like it opens you up more as a person and really allows you to be more empathetic in life in general because you can’t judge a character you play, even if you would in real life. When you play a character you would usually judge, you have to take the time to get to know them and see what makes them tick and see why they are the way they are.”

The biggest step I took outside my comfort zone in the last year was… “hmm, there have been a few instances, I guess. I filmed a movie called Skin earlier in the year, and that character called for me to do a lot of things that were outside my comfort zone. I also went to Barcelona to film a movie and was living there for two months alone. That was a big thing for me. It’s hard going to another country and living there when you don’t speak the language and you’re still learning and understanding the culture. It was definitely an experience where I learned a lot. I’ve always loved traveling, but actually living in a foreign city for a while was outside of my comfort zone, but I’m really glad I did it.” 

The actor I’m dying to work with is… “The list is so long. Octavia Spencer, I love her. Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington… the list is endless.”

The one character I’ve played who’s surprisingly similar to me is… “probably Willowdean from Dumplin’. She really reminds me of my teenage self. Obviously, there are a lot of differences, but I feel like a lot of what she’s experiencing internally is something I very much related to when I was a teenager.” 

The people I love to follow on Instagram are… “Honestly I love seeing a good meme. They’re fun to share with friends. So lots of those meme-focused accounts. Oh, and animal accounts like The Dodo, and travel accounts like Epic Travels.” 

I instantly feel like myself when I put on… “an oversize sweater, or flip-flops, which in Australia we call thongs, but that can definitely cause some miscommunication in the States.” 

My fall wardrobe would not be complete without these three pieces…

No matter if fringed, fuzzy, or with or without a bold print, scarves have everything going for them when fall rolls around. Not only are they fall's coziest accessory, but they also have the power to elevate any outfit instantly. They're practical but can transform your style at the same time. What's not to love?

Sure, maybe in past seasons you were one to leave your stash of scarves in storage or simply bared the cold that snuck in the collar of your shirt, but this fall, we suggest you capitalize on the look—big time.

And if you're out of the loop on where to find the best ones before the season's change, we rounded up the best places where to find the perfect cozy accessory for you, no matter what your aesthetic is.

The upcoming cold weather won't have anything on you.

From bike shorts to fanny packs to chunky sneakers, there's barely an athleisure trend we haven't like or at least tried once. They're all the definition of practical and comfortable and yet they unapologetically add a bit of boldness. And though these laid-back trends tend to get all the love in the summer, there are some pieces that are less obvious for the season. We're talking about sweatpants.

Even though the name suggests otherwise, there are actual lightweight sweatpant options that won't make your legs melt. And especially so if you pair them with cute bra-like crop tops or oversize T-shirts. Not quite sure how to approach the trend or simply looking for a pair perfect for your air-conditioned apartment? These 15 lightweight sweatpants are effortless and airy in equal measure.

Now here's proof that you can wear these lightweight sweatpants all through summer.

While teeny tiny frames and slim cat-eyes have been everywhere lately, we couldn’t help but notice another trend brewing just below the surface: Oblong sunglasses. As opposed to the ultra thin frames that took over fashion week, these lenses are a like the filled-out cousin of the micro sunnies. Their rectangular shape is familiar, just a little different this time around.

To further our suspicions, Illesteva just launched its newest collection. And yes, it includes the oblong rectangular frames we’re talking about. Considering the fact that Illesteva rolled out both round frames and tortoiseshell before those trends took to the masses, we’re thinking that this is yet another example of the brand predicting (or starting) the latest sunglasses trend.

Illesteva isn’t the only brand to catch on. In fact, we’ve been noticing some of the most credible labels creating unique versions of the style as of late. From Off White to Poppy Lissiman, cool-kid designers are getting behind the oblong shape—and we’re taking that as a sign that we should too. To see the Illesteva sunnies, and our other favourites, keep scrolling.

Gigi Hadid is a veteran supporter of the dad sneaker trend, getting plenty of use out of her Reebok Classic Leather Sneakers since becoming the face of the brand. But as proof of her loyalty to the enduring trend, she just wore a pair of dad sneakers from another brand, which is a purveyor of cool shoes: Acne Studios. Hadid chose the brand's Manhattan sneakers in black, from its Resort 18 collection. Despite that they're not exactly cheap as far as sneakers go, they're currently sold out or nearly sold out everywhere except for Acne Studios' own site (although the beige and white iterations are wiped out). That's enough to call them an It item in our book.

Hadid paired the trending dad sneakers with high-waisted black leggings with sheer panels, proving that the kicks instantly and effortlessly elevate black leggings, just as all good It sneakers do. So there you have it: Black leggings plus dad sneakers is an of-the-moment look that's Gigi Hadid–approved. Proof below.

It’s no secret that we love online shopping. From our favourite Australian designers, to big names like Zara (a recent development that we’re very happy about), there’s nothing you can’t buy online these days. Don’t get us wrong, we still love shopping in stores, but sometimes the convenience of online shopping is much more preferable.

In addition to being a lot easier (you don’t even have to leave your bed!), online shopping can be drastically cheaper. When shopping online, it’s simply easier to scour multiple sites at once to find what you’re looking for at the cheapest price (if you’ve ever dedicated a day to jeans shopping, going from store to store comparing how well different brands fit and how much they cost, you likely know that it’s not exactly an enjoyable experience). Furthermore, online sites often have better sales than you can find in-store. Showing up at an end-of-season sale, only to find the selection completely picked over is an all too common reality when shopping IRL. Virtual shopping however, means that the stock is higher and items that have run out will generally be taken down immediately (no sales FOMO here).

Have we convinced you of the perks of online shopping yet? If not, this will. We just found a tool that will save you heaps of money when online shopping—and who wouldn’t be happy about that? By signing up for Lyst, the fashion search site will allow you to track items that you’ve been eyeing and alert you when they go on sale. As most things in life, trends are not forever. So it’s pretty inevitable that every item you’ve been coveting will be discounted at some point.

While it can be tempting to purchase an item at full-price for fear of it selling out before you catch onto the fact it’s been discounted, Lyst now removes that anxiety by keeping track of the item for you. Best of all, Lyst is partnered with thousands of sites, so the chances that you’ll be able to nab that discounted item is much higher than if you were relying on your own savvy to seek out bargains. Keep scrolling to see some of the best finds we've discovered via Lyst so far.

If there’s one thing that can be said about fashion, it often repeats itself. The ’90s redux is no exception, and one item the fashion set simply can’t get enough of is the classic trucker jacket. With new iterations of this vintage-inspired trend each season, there’s a style that’ll fit your every need, not to mention a new way to wear them each day of the week.

Though you might typically think of the denim jacket to be a standard staple of fall, a trucker jacket can be worn well into any season, making it the perfect hero piece for any outfit. With its boxier fit, the style allows for layering up anything from sweatshirts to chunky sweaters underneath to keep you warm throughout the day. Opt for a version with a shearling collar and you’ll be set for even the coldest commute. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite takes on the silhouette for you to shop for your next casual and cool look.

During a season that’s known for bundling up in darker hues, an outfit filled with winter whites couldn’t be any chicer. But there’s one catch: Knowing how to properly wash your white clothes. After all, with dirty snow flying and hot drinks abound, you're always at risk of ruining your winter whites. With that, we enlisted the ladies of The Laundress—Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd—to guide you on the right steps to keeping your favorite cotton and linen pieces in pristine collection. Whether you’ve been wearing your favorite tee on the regular and you’re working to remove some unfavorable deodorant marks, or you want to remove that insanely tough oil stain, we’ve got you covered. Make sure you’re doing these simple steps and you’ll be wearing bright whites all year long.

Pretreat your clothes.

Whiting and Boyd recommend their Stain Solution and All-Purpose Bleach Alternative directly to affected areas of your clothes.

Use hot water, and scrub at the stains.

Using hot water to activate the solution, scrub at the stain. This way you’re working the solution into the fabric.

Presoak your clothes.

In a bath of hot water and the aforementioned All-Purpose Bleach Alternative, soak your items for at least one hour. Whiting and Boyd say it can sometimes take more than one try. “If the stain isn’t fully removed once the soaking is completed, don’t sweat it! It often it takes two to three tries before complete removal.”

Wash your clothes as normal.

Once you’ve gotten the stain out to your liking, wash your clothes as you normally would with detergent.

Shop Winter Whites

Retailers know better than anyone what's selling right now, along with what their shoppers are looking for next. So when major e-tailer Net-a-Porter reached out with its 2018 denim guide, we were eager to hear its take on the styles to know. To break it all down, Global Fashion Director Lisa Aiken curated her picks and offered commentary on what she's most excited to shop this year. 

Below, you'll find five specific ways women will be buying (and wearing) denim in the coming months. From the hues to add to your rotation now to the brands bringing back your favorite throwback styles, you'll want to get a jump start on shopping the jean trends that come fashion week will be on every street style star (likely including Aiken herself). 

Straight-Leg Jeans

"At the moment, 40% of sales on jeans are coming from straight-leg fits in rigid or stretch rigid fabrics," notes Aiken.

Deep Indigo

Ready to switch things up? Try swapping black jeans for a rich indigo. There's something polished and crisp about this hue. 

White Denim

Whether it be a crisp white or a just-off hue of ivory, expect to see super-light denim everywhere in 2018 (before labor day too). 

'90s Denim

It's time to take a trip back to the '90s, and break out the grunge-inspired denim (think oversize, acid wash, and distressed details) and rigid silhouettes of the past. 

Head-to-Toe Denim

According to Net-a-Porter's team, the Canadian tuxedo will be big for spring. The way you choose to pair denim on denim is your choice.

"Celebrities—they're just like us" is a phrase you read in magazines that accompanies photos of stars grabbing groceries or walking into the gym. While red carpet fashion may not always feel relatable, celebrities really do favor off-duty uniforms much like yours. And like you, their cold-weather footwear of choice is cool boots.

If you're in the market for a new pair, it's important to find a style that works with both your go-to skinny jeans and leggings. Taking inspiration from style stars and It girls, we rounded up five boot styles that work just as well with denim as they do with your favorite off-duty look. So before you invest in a new pair of boots, see the styles you'll need to get you through the next couple of months. Prepare for the cool weather with the five styles of boots below.

Ankle Boots

On Selena Gomez: Wolford leggings; Dear Frances Spirit Boots ($550)

Try a pair of sleek leather-esque leggings tucked into your favorite ankle boots for an elongating look.

On Lily Aldridge: Alyx T-shirt; Paige jeans; Alexander Wang bomber jacket; Alaïa ankle boots; Isabel Marant belt; Givenchy Flat Top Sunglasses ($295)

Pairing heeled booties with dark-wash skinny jeans is an easy combination.

Over-the-Knee Boots

On Jasmine Tookes: Louis Vuitton bag

Black jeans paired with over-the-knee boots are a foolproof combination.

On Nina Dobrev: Jimmy Choo Arrow Bag ($548)

Leggings and knee-high boots always look good together.

Combat Boots

On Bella Hadid: Heron Preston turtleneck; Off-White boots; Eugenia Kim beret

Chunky boots look great with a pair of cool leggings.

On Gigi Hadid: Dr. Martens boots; Maison Atia Catherine Coat ($1500); Pawaka Duabelas 12 Sunglasses ($410)

For an off-duty sporty look, layer long socks with boots and leggings.

Platform boots

On Sofia Richie: Adidas White Mountaineering Sweatshirt ($130); Re/Done Crawford Jeans ($260); Louis Vuitton Laureate Platform Boots ($1330); Bulgari Serpenti Bag ($2400)

Platform boots (lug soles especially) add a bit of edge to a basic outfit.

On Ashley Graham: Moschino top and jacket

Try wearing head-to-toe black for an edgy look. 

Pointed-Toe Boots

On Chrissy Teigen: Iro Fighla Sweater ($396); Gucci Leather Belt ($350); Yeezy boots; Chanel backpack 

Pointed boots work with every style of denim, but dark-wash skinny jeans are our favorite.

On Olivia Palermo: Paige top and leggings; Jimmy Choo boots

Consider pairing cropped leggings with booties that allow just a hint of ankle to show.

With the arrival of the bomb cyclone, you've officially made it through your first major storm of 2018. But with all that snow and wind comes a reminder that having the right gear can make every bit of difference when it comes to comfort. And the one thing that trumps all others is picking the right pair of boots. Look for lug soles to avoid slipping, fleece lining to keep your toes warm, and waterproofing to make sure the snow doesn't melt through. 

But we know that finding boots that hit the criteria while still looking cute can be a challenge, so we did a little digging for you. Below are eight pairs of boots that while pretty darn good looking, also happen to be practical for trudging through a flurry or snowstorm headed your way. So before the next storm system hits, make sure you've got the shoes you need because even though staying indoors may be ideal, it's not always realistic.

Check out our picks below.

Denim holds a special place in every fashion girl’s heart. They’re classic, comfortable, and make a constant appearance on the fashion scene. But if you’re attempting to incorporate them into an elevated, polished look, you’ll need to rely on some stealth styling tricks. Which is why we decided to investigate the best way to dress up jeans this season.

After taking all of the leading trends into consideration, we’ve created a foolproof formula for a chic outfit: jeans, a tailored plaid blazer, and heels. Elevate your favorite pair of straight-leg jeans—we’re huge advocates for the silhouette—with a buttoned blazer and heeled sock boots (or timeless black stilettos). Finish your outfit off with minimalistic jewelry and a structured bag.

Go on to see how five different women dress up jeans, and shop out their outfits below.
