There are few things chicer than an Elsa Hosk outfit. Any fashion editor can confirm. She often combines multiple of-the-moment trends into one outfit and does so in the most effortless of ways. The latest summer trends she combined made for an easy outfit I highly recommend copying.

For starters, the summer 2026 dress trend Hosk wore was a sleep dress. In case you're wondering why, exactly, people are wearing sleep dresses outside, let me explain. It's basically a term given to loose-fitting, unstructured summer dresses with pretty, vintage-inspired details such as ruffled trim, bows, and eyelet. If you were to actually sleep in a dress, this style would be a good one to do so in. They're often white (as Hosk's was) but certainly don't need to be. With her puff-sleeve sleep dress, Hosk wore the closed-toe shoe trend (sorry, sandals) I want to make sure is on your radar: bright blue flats. It may seem a bit specific, but ocean-adjacent shades such as aquamarine and cerulean are a major color theme this summer, and flat shoes are one of the forms in which people are embracing it.

Jeans and flip-flops have become the go-to outfit combination for fashion people who want to look chic in the most low-effort way possible. This pairing works so well because it employs the "wrong shoe theory"—the flip-flops, worn out of context, inject an unexpected element that makes the jeans look more interesting. Plus, the easy, slide-on nature of the shoe perfectly matches the relaxed vibe of the denim.

Take Elsa Hosk, for example. Sharing a carousel of images of maternity-style outfits on Instagram, Hosk posed in one of them wearing low-rise baggy jeans in a vintage-like wash. She styled them with a plaid zip-up jacket and white thong-style wedge sandals. For accessories, she opted for a white east-west Chanel bag and oversize sunglasses, two trend-forward items that pulled the look together.

On the opposite coast, in New York City, Zoey Deutch was spotted this week in a similar casual denim outfit. She wore a white ribbed tank (one that looks like Kendall Jenner's favorite Hanes top) and low-rise cuffed jeans. In terms of white sandals, Deutch opted for flat flip-flops and Prada's version of an east-west bag—the celeb-loved Bonnie.

All of that said, this doesn't mean black flip-flops are out; it just suggests that white ones are the chicer option at the moment. Much like the new feeling of wearing white jeans after a long hiatus, these sandals feel crisp and provide a stylishly unexpected touch to an outfit.

No one is asking me, but I'm sold on the pairing. If I plan to wear jeans this summer, I will be wearing a baggy pair with white flip-flops. Keep scrolling to see the styles that I am bookmarking and considering for my own wardrobe.

You'd be forgiven for thinking we'd already exhausted every divisive shoe trend imaginable. From Vibrams and garden clogs to jelly shoes and Uggs, countless polarising styles have risen from obscurity to become genuinely covetable wardrobe staples. Just when I thought I'd seen it all, another contender emerged: The Row's viral hotel slipper flats.

Crafted from luxurious jacquard satin, the slip-on shoes bear an uncanny resemblance to the disposable slippers often found in high-end hotels. Featuring a flat sole and a backless design, they're about as comfortable as a shoe trend can get—which, in itself, is reason enough to take notice.

Already finding favour among some of fashion's chicest dressers, the style has quickly earned celebrity approval. Elsa Hosk, for one, has been spotted wearing multiple pairs, styling them with flowing wide-leg trousers that lean into the shoe's relaxed, lounge-inspired aesthetic.

Kendall Jenner has been spotted in a similarly laid-back approach. Frequently reaching for the flats, she's been seen pairing her white pair with a floaty tonal co-ord and oversized sunglasses, proving just how easily they can slot into a polished everyday wardrobe.

They may be one of the season's most surprising shoe trends, but at least comfort is firmly on their side. If you're tempted to slip into the cosiest fashion shoe of the summer, keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best slipper flats below.

Just this week, I was chatting with a friend about a pair of capri pants she’d recently bought and the styling dilemma that hit when she tried to wear them. So, naturally, I started listing the pairs I know work every single time. Then, almost as if the universe was listening in on our conversation, I spotted Elsa Hosk wearing capri pants with the exact two shoe trends at the top of my list.

In a recent New York photo dump, Hosk styled capri pants twice, each time with a supremely chic shoe pairing. First, she wore sleek black capri leggings with a pair of heeled flip-flops. Where capri pants can sometimes visually cut off the leg line, the subtle lift and minimal shape of the sandal helped counteract that effect. Meanwhile, the ’90s-inspired silhouette added an easy polish that made the whole look feel incredibly current. Leaning into a high-summer mood, she finished the outfit with chunky sunglasses and a cotton bandana—creating one of the chicest city summer looks I’ve seen in a while.

Then, taking the silhouette in a slightly dressier direction, Hosk stepped out in polka-dot capris paired with elegant black mules. Styled with an oversized black jacket and a white Chanel bag, the look felt elevated but not fussy. Much like the heeled flip-flops, the mule’s elongated shape balanced the cropped trousers, complementing the capris without competing with them.

Far chicer than styling capris with ballet flats or trainers, these are the two shoe trends I’ll be relying on all summer long. If you’re on the same page, keep scrolling to shop the best heeled flip-flops and mules below.

Given that it's almost June, the last thing you likely want to be thinking about is sweaters. But that's exactly what in-the-know fashion people are shopping for. I'm not referring to the heavy wool and cashmere sweaters we live in during winter, though. I'm referring to the sweater trend one of L.A.'s chicest residents, Elsa Hosk, just wore with shorts.

Elsa Hosk isn't the only one who's caught on to the appeal of the effortlessly chic style. Breezy, open-weave sweaters that are typically made of cotton and linen are *the* It basic to wear with shorts right now. The pairing is perfect for the "June gloom" weather to come in Los Angeles, and it's an elegant upgrade from a plain T-shirt. It makes sense that always-on-trend Hosk would be wearing a lightweight summer sweater with white Bermuda shorts and flip-flops. It's pretty much the most summer 2026 outfit combination a chic L.A. resident could wear, but it works no matter where you live.

If there’s one denim trend I’m recommending this summer, it’s white jeans. Whilst light-wash and vintage-blue pairs will always have a place in our wardrobes, there’s something about crisp white denim that feels especially elevated during the warmer months.

That said, styling white jeans can feel like slightly unfamiliar territory—particularly when it comes to footwear pairings. As we move away from boots and loafers and fully into sandal season, finding the right pairing isn’t always as natural as it seems. But this week, while scrolling through Instagram in search of warm-weather outfit inspiration, I came across the chic sandal trend that makes white jeans look instantly more refined. Posting just in time for the shift in season, Elsa Hosk styled her white jeans with a pair of simple brown sandals.

Rather than opting for stark black styles—or even the trending pop-of-red sandals fashion people are gravitating towards right now—the soft brown hue created a much more cohesive finish against the bright white denim. Still firmly within the neutral family, the rich, earthy tone adds warmth and depth to an outfit without compromising its versatility.

Keeping the rest of her outfit pared-back with a boxy white T-shirt and oversized sunglasses, Hosk created an easy summer formula I know I’ll be relying on for months to come.

In an unsurprising turn of events, track pants are trending ahead of summer. Cool fashion people are trading in the jeans they wore all winter for the airier, comfier pant alternative and styling them in interesting, unexpected ways that are just begging to be copied all season long. Elsa Hosk is the best of them, posting a slideshow of photos featuring the style's signature vertical stripes. Her specific track pants are from Lioness (so you know they're affordable) and have a lower rise and cropped-flare fit that perfectly displayed her equally cool footwear choice: Maison Margiela Tabi ballet flats. Even better? She paired that pant-and-shoe combo with a camo baby tee and a sporty windbreaker. They're pieces that shouldn't work together but do. I love it when that happens.

As a result, Hosk single-handedly ushered in the track-pant outfit of the season, which involves styling the bottoms with ballet flats and a windbreaker, creating a sporty and comfortable yet fashion-forward ensemble that's perfect for running errands, grabbing lunch, or hitting the gym.

Soon, this three-piece uniform will hit the streets of New York City, Los Angeles, Paris, and more stylish cities across the globe. It's already starting to happen in one way or another, and fellow best dressed candidates are currently wearing track pants in other ways, styling them with socks and glove flats or easy knits. In Gucci's F/W 26 show, Hosk even wore a pair with a trench coat, another soon-to-go-viral outfit idea.

Add to all this evidence the fact that it's a World Cup year. Football fashion (not the NFL kind) is soon to take over when the tournament begins next month, and you have yourself a certified winner when it comes to pant trends. They might be called track pants, but this style, especially the beloved Adidas Firebird version (which, I might add, is currently on sale), is just as synonymous with soccer as it is with track and field. I'd be willing to bet that sales will skyrocket alongside team kits, Adidas Sambas, and zip-up track jackets the second players begin to arrive on the pitch.

Now that balloon pants have gone mainstream, those among us who are always wondering what's next when that happens will be pleased to know that we have the answer. Elsa Hosk just helped to make it so, as she often does when it comes to the latest trends.

Early adopters of the voluminous, lightweight pants that you may also hear referred to as genie pants have been wearing the trend for at least a year, and in order to keep things fresh, brands are finding new iterations of the trend to keep the most directional shoppers invested. Yes, the one that's set to go viral is petticoat pants.

For a bit of context, petticoats were an undergarment that women wore, especially during the 18th century, to add shape and structure to skirts and gowns. The more comfortable and lightweight petticoat pants (also known as pettipants or lace bloomers) were an offshoot of the skirt, becoming popular during Victorian times. The voluminous pants are gathered at the hem to form a peplum of sorts and typically trimmed with lace or eyelet. The modern-day versions come in both cropped and full-length inseams, with some being sheer or printed. The most classic iteration of the trend is a cropped white pair, which is what Hosk wore in the photos she just posted to her Instagram feed while in Tokyo.

Hosk paired her petticoat pants with an oversize pale-blue trench coat and white glove flats. Her look is about as good as the styling of summer's latest pant trend gets, but the outfit options are endless. Stay tuned to see them popping up IRL as we inch closer and closer to summer.

It's time to book your pedicures because it's officially sandal season. Once you've picked your spring-forward pedicure color, treat yourself to the must-have flats trend: flip-flops. The next order of business is wearing your flip-flops in an elevated way. Yes, there are endless styling possibilities—such as with a poplin skirt or your favorite jeans—but the It girl–approved way to wear them is with drawstring pants. Case in point: Elsa Hosk's recent look.

While taking a stroll with her family in L.A. this week, Hosk was spotted showing off her chic maternity style. She wore a matching set: a stripe button-down shirt and drawstring pants. To finish off her outfit with ease, Hosk opted for suede flip-flops and a baseball cap.

Whether made from satin, cotton poplin, or linen, drawstring pants offer a unique blend of comfort and style that sets them apart from skirts or denim. They also have an easygoing nature that perfectly complements flats like flip-flops. Beyond Hosk, well-dressed celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kaia Gerber, and Kendall Jenner all own the comfortable pants and have styled them with sandals for everything from exploring a new city to coffee meetings.

No one knows how to wear leggings in a chic, rich-looking way quite like L.A. girls. People don leggings in every city, but Angelenos are different, styling them for everything from sweaty workouts to elevated nights out. Case in point: Elsa Hosk's most recent legging outfit. The model and Helsa founder, who announced that she and her husband Tom Daly are expecting their second child on Instagram on April 9, was recently seen heading into a Pilates class in the California metropolis wearing (shocker) leggings, but not just any leggings. Hosk chose a pair in a particularly luxurious color, skipping more popular options like black, brown, and navy in favor of tan leggings. Even better? She styled them with matching tan Chanel flip-flops, creating a monochromatic sandals-and-leggings moment that I instantly saved to my summer mood board.

Leggings are one of those wardrobe items that usually stay in their own lane, worn solely for fitness activities and paired with sneakers, but when you find an interesting color and an alternative shoe option, an array of new opportunities show themselves. That's what Hosk's tan leggings and flip-flops outfit is set to do for summer. Prepare to spot tan leggings and thong sandals—bonus points if you find a matching pair of flip-flops—all over Los Angeles and other stylish cities when the warm weather kicks in. It's sleek, unexpected, and makes for the perfect gym-to-Erewhon-to-lunch ensemble.

For months now, I've seen some version of tan suede sneakers everywhere I look. They're great, but sorry, I'm bored and ready for something new. More than any other season, summer is the time to wear the most fun pieces in our wardrobes—sneakers included. We've been focusing on sandals quite a lot lately, but I think we can all agree that sneakers are equally as crucial during summer, which brings me to Elsa Hosk.

We all know by now that Hosk is one of the chicest women on the planet, and if she wears something, you can guarantee that it's cool—no questions asked. Recently, she's been posting an array of warm-weather outfits, and one of them featured the pretty sneaker trend that's monopolizing the buzz right now: colorful satin sneakers.

Hosk's shoes—the retro Miu Miu Gymnasium Sneakers in a vibrant aqua, yellow, and hot pink color combination—were actually released early last year, but a plethora of designer brands have been busy putting out more satin sneakers ahead of this summer, proving that Hosk's Miu Miu pair is more relevant than ever. And if you really want to take a tip from her, try wearing them with one of the many silky lace-trimmed pieces on the market right now (such as her Dôen Cicely Dress).

There’s something about Tokyo style that seems to unlock a different side of every celebrity who ends up over there. Maybe it’s the city’s fearless approach to fashion or the way getting dressed there feels a little less predictable. Whatever it is, the outfits coming out of Tokyo lately have a distinct energy—one that feels more experimental than what we’re used to seeing in Paris or New York. It brings out a different side of every person who takes the trip in the best of ways.

Scrolling through a few off-duty outfit IG posts that felt unusually directional, I stumbled upon this by accident. The geotag every time just so happened to be somewhere in Japan, usually Tokyo. The silhouettes were more dynamic, the layering more intentional, and the styling choices just slightly unexpected in a way that made them stick. It may be the incredible vintage and second-hand shopping that visitors of Tokyo tend to indulge in, or just the unique fashion scene, in general. But suddenly, Tokyo feels like the place where celebrity style is actually evolving. Let’s discuss some of the best looks to be found.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa never fails to put together an outfit that I want to copy and paste ASAP. Her outfit in Tokyo is such a vibe for a night out on the town that feels different than just showing skin; it’s polished and all dressed up.

Hailey Bieber

Did someone say model off-duty? Hailey Bieber’s Tokyo look is just that, but 10 times better. It’s the kind of outfit that feels deceptively simple until you really look at it. Styling an Issey Miyake jacket during a trip to Japan is the way to do it.

Elsa Hosk

Elsa Hosk’s layered look comes together in a way that feels very Tokyo—soft, fluid, and just a little bit undone. The headscarf is the kind of styling detail that instantly transforms basics into something memorable.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s matching set moment proves that vacation style doesn’t have to feel predictable. The monochromatic palette keeps things streamlined, but the proportions make it feel relaxed.

Rosalía

If there’s anyone who leans fully into the Tokyo aesthetic, it’s Rosalía. The graphic tee, cargo skirt, and wild accessories are so on-brand for this city. It’s playful, a little chaotic, and completely intentional.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Anya Taylor-Joy’s outfit is all about balance. The decorative top feels intricate and eye-catching, while the dark-wash jeans ground the look in something familiar and wearable. It’s a reminder that you don’t always need a full statement outfit.

Elsa Hosk, the ultimate fashion It girl, has proven herself to be the purveyor of what's cool, and her latest Instagram post, in celebration of the new Helsa collection, Suburbia, proved it once again. With her Helsa trench and shorts, she wore a Chanel tote and The Row Soft Loafers, but the item I instantly noticed was far less expensive than those accessories: her socks. I could tell by the little tag at the back that they were the Comme Si The Yves Socks, in the color that retailers can't keep in stock: khaki.

I recently reported on the rise of the gray sock trend (and called out the Comme Si Yves socks as the pair that I wear often), but khaki socks are the color I've spotted just as frequently as of late, and they're just as easy to wear as white socks. Comme Si socks are an It-girl favorite and instantly recognizable to those in the know. They're the perfect weight to wear with any type of shoes, and they won't fall or pill, so they're well worth every penny of the $35 price tag, if you ask me.

From royal purple to teal, tomato red to chartreuse, there are many color trends to know about and wear this spring. However, not all shades are created equal, nor do they have the same staying power, which matters if you want to feel confident in your investment. One color I haven't mentioned yet that's just as popular this season and will continue trending through the summer is baby pink. As the weather continues to get warmer, we're seeing it more and more among the style set, especially on shoes.

Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk are two fashion people who have recently donned baby-pink flats. Bieber took a mirror selfie in the Rhode office in L.A. wearing baby-pink flat slingbacks, fold-over shorts, and a quarter-length-sleeve top. Hosk, also in L.A., posted an Instagram photo of herself wearing baby-pink satin ballet flats with a matching pant set from her brand, Helsa.

With the weather now signaling spring, fashion people are swapping out wool coats for trench coats, cashmere sweaters for cotton knits, and cardigans for raglan tees. Amid this seasonal wardrobe change, one piece remains completely essential in the closets of stylish dressers: denim. Whether it's a classic straight-leg, a relaxed wide cuff, or a slim-fitting cigarette silhouette, the right pair of jeans makes the transition easy and adds a touch of year-round familiarity to seasonal outfits.

When it comes to denim trends for spring, there's truly no right or wrong choice—anything goes. But if you're still unsure, look no further than celebrities for fresh inspiration, as they consistently set the tone for effortless spring style. Trendsetting stars like Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Bella Hadid, and Elsa Hosk are demonstrating exactly how to keep jeans current, elevated, and perfectly suited for the season. They're wearing them for everything—from sightseeing on vacation to lunch meetings and family dinners. They're even demonstrating how to transform the same pair of jeans from day to night by swapping ballet flats for stiletto-heel flip-flops or a chunky sweater for a satin jacket.

Instead of just explaining how they're styling their jeans this spring, we're showing you by highlighting six chic spring denim outfits. Whether you're looking for new ways to style your favorite jeans with pieces you already own or want to add fresh denim styles and spring pairings to your wardrobe, keep scrolling for all the inspiration and shopping guidance you need.

When they're going somewhere that calls for leggings but not necessarily sneakers, stylish dressers tend to take advantage of this by coming up with creative legging outfits that wouldn't be as appropriate for, say, the gym or a hike. That usually starts with the shoes. Additionally, plain black leggings can be quite boring, so stylish dressers also dabble in different legging trends from time to time. One of those stylish dressers is Elsa Hosk.

Hosk just posted a series of photos in a Pilates studio in Venice Beach, CA, wearing one of the season's prettiest trends: pink leggings. Specifically, she wore ALO leggings in the new Vintage Pink colorway, and instead of sneakers, she paired them with ballet flats, proving that the delicate shoes are the perfect complement to pink leggings. She wore her pink Chanel flats with white crew socks, which undoubtedly made the outfit even cooler, along with an ALO sweatshirt in the same shade as her leggings and a luxury tote from the brand. She also styled them with a pair of pink sweatshorts from ALO and a leather bomber jacket in other photos in the carousel.

If there’s one thing defining spring’s most directional accessories, it’s what isn’t on top of everyone’s heads. Baseball caps—long the default off-duty staple—are quietly stepping aside for something softer, stranger, and significantly more sculptural.

Enter the ribbed wool hat, led by The Row’s cult-favorite Falken style.

Spotted on Kendall Jenner and Elsa Hosk, the hat feels like a minimalist’s answer to statement dressing: understated at first glance but deeply intentional in shape and texture. With its close, ribbed knit and subtly elongated silhouette, wool bucket hats frame the face in a way a cap never could.

On the Runway

The influence doesn’t stop at one specific piece from The Row, though. Across street style and emerging labels, a broader shift is taking hold: the rise of the sloped wool bucket hat. Think less floppy festival hat, more “soft sculpture.” The shape feels reminiscent of a vintage, 1920s-inspired cloche hat. Of this variety, black seems to be the most common choice among tastemakers and influencers, with a sloped, curved edge that feels more like a wearable object than a headpiece accessory.

If last spring's headpiece accessory was luxury satin scarves, this year's version (thanks to still chilly temperatures in New York and Paris) is the felted, wool bucket hat. These aren’t hats you throw on without thinking. They ask for consideration—and in return, they elevate even the simplest white-tee-and-jeans spring outfit.

Now that spring is finally finding its feet, it's time to pack away the winter coats and embrace a lighter approach to dressing. Heavy wool layers are making their seasonal exit, and breezy jackets are coming to the fore. And if you’re looking for the chicest way to navigate the change of season, Elsa Hosk may have just delivered the perfect formula.

Stepping out this week, Hosk shed the bulky layers of winter in favour of an elegant spring jacket. Rendered in a timeless black-and-white palette composed of sleek stripes, the piece felt polished yet unfussy. Pinned with one of Chanel’s camellia brooches, the jacket offered just enough protection from spring’s unpredictable gusts while still feeling light and fresh.

Keeping the rest of her outfit streamlined, Hosk paired the elegant jacket with blue wide-leg jeans that pooled softly towards the ground. The sweeping silhouette skimmed over the top of her white pointed-toe heels, lending ease that balanced the jacket’s tailored feel and prevented the ensemble from feeling overly prim.

To finish, Hosk slipped into bright white pointed-toe heels that echoed the fresh monochrome palette of her jacket. Tucked under her arm was every fashion person’s new favourite tote—Chanel’s latest flap bag—while the rest of her styling remained deliberately pared back.

All the more proof that sometimes the simplest formulas are the most effective, Hosk’s jacket, jeans and heels make a chic blueprint for easy spring dressing.

Long gone are the days when matching your bag to your shoes was customary. In fact, more often than not, people reject matchy-matchy accessories. That said, pairing a black bag with black shoes is an easy choice that people still often make, but I've found that It girls, in particular, are choosing a specific 2026 handbag color trend when wearing black shoes of any style. The bag color is cognac, and Sarah Pidgeon is the latest to wear it with black shoes.

While out and about during Paris Fashion Week, the Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette actress was spotted wearing light-wash jeans with black Aquazzura ankle boots on two occasions. Both times, Pidgeon carried a Balenciaga Rodeo Bag in Tan Cowboy, a weathered cognac, and recently, fellow It girls Bella Hadid and Elsa Hosk opted for the same color combination.

This isn't the first time I've reported on cognac, as I recently heralded it as the rich neutral trend to replace chocolate brown with. If you ask me, a cognac bag (which goes with many shoe colors, not just black) is the perfect way to embrace the trend. Keep scrolling to see the aforementioned It girls wearing theirs with black shoes and shop a handful of my favorite cognac bags on the internet.

The humming of a Piero Piccioni score, the aroma of a freshly plucked orange, or the sun dancing across the water: a few examples of the enchanting scenes evoked by Montce x Elsa Hosk. Whether vacation to you means somewhere on the Amalfi Coast, sailing the Greek Islands, traipsing along the French Riviera, or simply sunbathing on a NYC rooftop, I believe it's not so much the locale as it is the swimsuit's responsibility to charm and transport. Before you pack your spring break carry-on with last year's bikini, we spoke with the It girl Elsa Hosk and got the inside scoop on the most elegant swimwear of 2026.

Designed in collaboration with the model and founder of Helsa (a Revolve and FWRD exclusive), Montce has combined its vintage-inspired detailing with Elsa's cool-girl fashion intuition to create a vacation wardrobe ripe with timeless, chic swimwear. "There are many reasons why this partnership feels so genuine for us, but among them is that Montce x Elsa feels less like a collaboration, and more like a shared world," said Montce's founder, Alexandra Grief, in the press release.

We spoke with Elsa about the behind-the-scenes of the collection, and when asked about her creative process, it became clear that Grief's characterization was spot on: "I'm very visual. I always start with references and build a world before I design anything. It can be an old photograph, a color in nature, a fabric texture, or even architecture. Once I know the feeling, the details become very specific. It’s instinctive, but also very intentional," said the Helsa founder. Elsa's attentive work ethic and conscious pursuit of nostalgia are precisely what make Montce x Elsa Hosk feel so transportive.

Slip into any item from the beautiful sixty-six-piece collection, and you'll be transported to a sun-soaked vacation you'll never wish to end. Exclusively available at Montce's website, the romantic swimwear line launches today, March 2. It features flirty bikinis, high-cut one-pieces, coordinating coverups, and gorgeous accessories. Not to mention, the pastel color palette of seafoam blues and pretty pinks is absolutely dreamlike.

Elsa Hosk on the Collection

What was your hands-on involvement in the design process for this collection?

I love Montce’s silhouettes. They’re feminine but still feel strong and confident. So this collaboration was really about refining what was already there. Softening a curve, lowering a strap slightly on the shoulder, adjusting where the waist sits so it feels effortless on the body. Then it became about building the mood around those shapes. Sun-washed creams, airy blues, florals that feel natural, like they’ve always belonged in a garden.

It's clear across all your projects how intentional you are, from chic vintage references to niche retro callbacks. It is on full display here in the Montce x Elsa Hosk capsule collection. What were the creative inspirations behind this Collaboration?

We shot the collection in Malibu, which is a place I really love. It has that quiet, effortless beauty that I’m always drawn to. I’m constantly inspired by vintage European summers, but I like it when it feels subtle. I wanted it to feel like a late summer afternoon that just unfolds naturally. Sculpted swim against soft greenery. Pale blue that mirrors the sky. Cream that almost disappears into the light. It’s romantic and a little nostalgic. Slightly dreamlike, but still very real.

How would you describe the colors and patterns we see in this romantic collection?

The palette feels really fresh to me. Creams, pale blues, soft yellow, little hits of cherry. Romantic, but still strong. Nothing feels loud, but it’s not shy either. The florals have personality. Nostalgic and not overly sweet.

What's your favorite look from the collection?

Ah, it’s so hard to choose. I really love the whole collection. But right now I’m especially drawn to the silky creams and blues.

Elsa Hosk on Her Vacation Must-Haves

Where does the Montce x Elsa Hosk wearer vacation? Côte d'Azur, the Amalfi Coast, Montenegro?

All of the above! Côte d’Azur, Amalfi Coast, archipelagos of Sweden. Or just her backyard in Los Angeles. Wherever she goes feels like summer.

What's their poolside order, beachside read, and sunscreen of choice?

My poolside order right now would probably be pistachio gelato and an iced Coke. Book of choice right now, maybe Wuthering Heights. And sunscreen is nonnegotiable. I always have my SunsolveMD on me!

What are your nonnegotiables when it comes to packing a carry-on?

Good skincare. Always. Oversize sunnies, maybe a few pairs. And somehow always one of Tuuli’s little toys tucked in my bag - which I love!

What are the three items you're pairing with your swim/vacation look? Shoes, bag, sunglasses, etc.

Simple leather sandals. Sunglasses always. And a vintage hat I found somewhere along the way.

If you’re looking to give your white trainers a little more airtime now that spring is finally in bloom, I’ve found the jeans silhouette that makes them look their chicest. Whilst this season’s bootcut styles continue to trend, there’s something about the way they puddle over trainers that can feel slightly off-balance. Instead, take your cue from Hosk and reach for an ankle-grazing, cropped pair.

Spotted out this week, the model made the timeless pairing feel particularly fresh, styling crisp white trainers with tonal, ankle-length white jeans. The subtle flash of ankle created a sense of freshness that feels perfectly attuned to the warmer months ahead, whilst welcoming in a lightness that complements the bright trainers. Meanwhile, the cropped cut adds a certain structure that makes the casual trainers feel far more considered.

Balancing the casual energy of her footwear, Hosk layered on a belted, bubble-hem coat in a soft beige hue, adding structure and sophistication to the look. Slim black sunglasses and a coordinating Hermès bag completed the ensemble.

Ever inspired by her off-duty wardrobe, I’m officially convinced: when it comes to white trainers this spring, cropped jeans are the pairing to know. Read on to discover and shop the best ankle-grazing styles now.

It's nearly impossible to talk about the It bags of 2026 without a mention of The Row, seeing as they're the label behind several of the year's most sought-after styles. Right now, fashion people are all abuzz about a few specific silhouettes like the polished Agnes Bag, prim top-handled India Bag, and convertible clutch-to-shoulder carry Peggy Clutch. But as someone who keeps a close eye on what will become the next big viral hit, I think I already have an idea of which bag from The Row all the celebrities and It girls will be carrying in the coming months.

According to my research, the next It bag from The Row is set to be none other than the Lilou Tote, a 2D style finished in a woven leather with delicate double-strap handles. Woven details showed up across accessories on the spring/summer 2026 runways, and the texture is set to be a big theme for the warm-weather season ahead. That, coupled with the Lilou's practical size, which makes it ideal as an everyday carryall, and, oh yeah, the fact that Kendall Jenner has been wearing it for months now, tells me that it's set for major stardom this year.

How It Girls Are Carrying It

Kendall Jenner's model-off-duty wardrobe is disproportionately made up of The Row's understated staples, especially Jenner's beloved Park Tote, so when we started spotting her swapping it for the newer Lilou style, we knew to pay close attention.

We've also spotted the Lilou tucked under the arm of Elsa Hosk, who's taken a similar approach as Jenner to styling the bag for spring with a lightweight trench coat and easy tee.

While both Jenner and Hosk are carrying the Lilou around L.A. as an everyday tote, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to see that come summer, the bag and its very vacation-coded woven texture will inevitably translate to beach, and resortwear looks just as seamlessly.

As a seasoned fashion editor, I controversially believe that leggings are the quiet hero of the modern capsule wardrobe. Cosy, comfortable and endlessly chic, they’re a staple I simply refuse to give up, but still most people hate wearing them outside of the gym. Determined to give leggings their dues, I closely tracked the outfits my favourite celebrities wore on repeat; and one thing was immediately clear—I’m not alone in my appreciation of the stretchy basic. In 2026, simple black leggings are the A-lister go-to for off-duty cool.

From Lori Harvey’s cropped capris to Rihanna’s split hems, the most stylish celebs continually prove that leggings outfits should be considered anything but dull. Whether dressing up a casual rugby shirt or adding luxe allure to a spring jacket, leggings have never looked chicer. Still unconvinced by their athleisure appeal? There are three leggings trends that celebs keep bringing back, and I'm convinced at least one of them might sell you on jersey. Keep reading to discover them below.

1. Capri Leggings

Style Notes: Led by Lori Harvey, the return of the capri feels sleek and sophisticated rather than sporty. By playing with proportions, the negative space instantly draws the eye down making legs look longer (especially with heels), and adds fashion-forward edge compared to the classic 7/8ths length. Take a style cues from Harvey and pair with cropped jacket and satin stilettos for an evening look that doesn't try too hard.

2. Split-Hem

Style Notes: Having previously only worn leggings for working out or running errands, Rihanna’s split-hems have convinced me to branch out of my comfort zone. Elevating an otherwise casual outfit, the addition of a blazer and flared leggings over heels dresses up even a rugby shirt—proof that the slimline silhouette is all you need to take a look from day to night.

3. Full-Length

Style Notes: Staying true to the classics, Elsa Hosk plays with neutral colourways to refine her full-lengths. Anyone bored of the thought of black leggings should start here, as cream and ecru leggings look particularly expensive with luxe textures like brown suede and polished accessories.

It's official: We've entered our plane pants era, and I need to talk about it. First of all, what are plane pants? Well, it's pretty much exactly what you think they are. They're those slouchy, soft, stretchy pants with comfortable waistbands, and usually in a dark color. They're the pants you reach for the morning of every travel day, but they're no longer just for the airport. Fashion people and celebrities with the coolest style (Jennifer Lawrence being one) are reaching for them instead of jeans. And the interesting thing is that they're not just styling them with casual pieces—they're wearing them with things that one would typically wear with jeans. Elsa Hosk just provided the perfect example of this.

Hosk, who regularly posts her outfits to her Instagram feed, much to our delight, just wore a burgundy croc-embossed jacket and elegant flat loafers. And instead of, say, black jeans, she wore a pair of black plane pants. Hers had a subtle flare and bunched slightly at the ankles. She proved that when styled with polished pieces, they don't look sloppy in the least.

Don't get me wrong—denim can look polished. But if you're aiming for that understated, "old money" energy, there's a pant trend that feels more elevated: suede. Since November, the fashion crowd has been embracing the luxe staple on repeat, often pairing it with equally elegant footwear—kitten-heeled, pointed-toe pumps. Elsa Hosk is among the style insiders championing the combination, and, as she does best, she makes it look effortless.

Recently, Hosk posted on Instagram a chocolate-brown monochromatic ensemble featuring a funnel-neck leather bomber jacket and wide-leg suede trousers. For accessories, she chose a leopard-print tote and snake-embossed, kitten-heeled pumps, keeping the color palette cohesive and adding a layer of richness.

At Who What Wear, every editor agrees that Hosk is the ultimate style muse. Whatever she wears always looks undeniably cool and sets the tone for what's next. The suede-pants-with-pumps formula is no exception. It's only a matter of time before we see the pairing everywhere.

If you spot Elsa Hosk wearing something, you can basically consider it factual proof that it's a trend or eternally stylish. To say that she has great taste is an understatement. And just in time for spring (just being optimistic while I shiver), Hosk is wearing the revived pant trend that I think many will be pleased about: cropped flares. After many seasons of puddle pants, which are a nightmare for those of us 5'4" and under, cropped pants have made a comeback, and Hosk just showed us exactly how to style them.

Flattering though they be, like cropped jeans, cropped pants don't work equally well with every shoe style. And when it comes to heels, there's one particular trend (that isn't really a trend at all) that's always a success with cropped pants: slingback kitten heels. And Hosk just paired a black leather version of the style with her cropped black pants, striped tee, and trench coat. While I can't explain the exact science behind it, something about a high stiletto makes cropped pants look too short, while a chunky block heel is too heavy for cropped pants. And when it comes to strappy heels, they tend to make cropped pants look less elegant. A slingback kitten-heel pump always makes cropped pants look chic and elegant; they're fresh and modern, no matter the season or year.

Chocolate brown has become so ingrained in our lives (well, our fashion-related lives) that I hardly remember a time when it wasn't a trend. Let's face it. It's been a thing for awhile, and if you're itching for a new color trend, I get it. If you're looking for the new chocolate brown, I'm guessing that you appreciate how versatile chocolate-hued pieces are and how expensive the color looks. Luckily, the up-and-coming rich color trend for 2026 is equally as versatile and expensive looking.

How do I know the color I'm referring to is destined to be the next major color trend? Well, for starters, I keep seeing it among the new arrivals at my go-to retailers. Also, three very chic celebrities just wore it—Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kate Middleton, and Elsa Hosk. Yes, Huntington-Whiteley, Middleton, and Hosk all wore cognac-colored pieces within days of each other. Cognac can best be described as that elegant rusty brown between camel and chocolate brown. Huntington-Whiteley wore it in the form of a Nour Hammour leather jacket, Middleton via cognac pants, and Hosk with a The Row suede Margaux bag. (Hosk was also photographed wearing a pair of cognac heels a couple of months ago.)

This is a strong indication that cognac is on a mission to dethrone chocolate brown. Keep scrolling to see the It-girl proof and shop some of my favorite cognac-colored pieces.

Like the fashion equivalent of bread and butter, some staple pieces simply work better together than they do on their own. The best long-sleeved tops for women are one ingredient, to extend the metaphor further, that often gets undervalued when it comes to these essential style pairings.

Where romantic blouses and sculptural shirts can overshadow this more pragmatic basic, it’s not a fair assessment to call it a boring investment. In a way, the best long-sleeved tops serve as the backbone to any great ensemble, especially when the temperature begins to dip and cold fronts start to set in. But it’s this mundanity that has resulted in it being ignored for far too long.

In actuality, an arsenal of long-sleeved tops is what separates a well-edited wardrobe from one that’s perhaps more hodgepodge. You might think I’m being hyperbolic here, but it’s something that’s worth considering, because what is the point of owning your architecturally tailored trousers or polished jeans if you have nothing to wear them with?

It’s understandable that the best long-sleeved tops are by no means an exciting purchase to make when compared to glitzy ballet flats, decadent floral dresses or even that saccharine winter knitted hat that’s serving as your sartorial sweet treat, though that shouldn’t mean that you disregard them altogether. In fact, if you were to look at the most prolific tastemakers in the industry, you’ll realise that they’ve been subtly campaigning for the best long-sleeved tops to become a centrepiece.

Take Miuccia Prada, for instance. At the spring/summer 2023 runway show in Paris, the Milanese designer not only stripped back the notion of simplicity but also proved that nuance and subversiveness can be found when things are presented in rudimentary form. On a literal level, this thesis statement translated into a series of wafer-thin long-sleeves in muted primary tones, particularly heather grey, white and butter yellow, being layered up until they took the form of a mini.

Elsewhere, creator of the Neverworns newsletter and video series, Liana Satenstein, proved the power of the humble three-quarter-length in her collaboration with Los Angeles-based brand Cleo Camp. Rendered in a “perpetual vacation blue”, the splashy long-sleeve has quickly become a cult piece for IYKYK It girls like Imani Randolph and Audrey Hobert.

Of course, the most mainstream endorsement came from none other than Hailey Bieber, with the Rhode Beauty founder wearing a bracelet-sleeve-length shirt from London-based underwear brand Cou Cou Intimates. With delicate curving through the hemline, a boat neckline and soft scallop edges, the look proved that when intentional with designs, these rudimentary pieces can be the most impactful.

And if you haven’t guessed by now, not all long-sleeved tops are made the same, which is thankfully why I, a fashion writer who has worked in the industry for close to a decade, is here to definitively tell you which styles are actually the best. Some, like a simple crew-neck, are perfect for a casual outing, whilst others, including button-up styles, lean certainly dressier. But irrespective of your needs, there’s no wardrobe that’s made better without including one.

The 9 Best Long-Sleeved Tops for Women

Best Crew Neck Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: If you could only invest in one long-sleeve top, then consider the humble crew-neck as the supreme choice. For the uninitiated, the crew neck is regarded as the traditional silhouette for t-shirts and tops, with a stock-standard shape that features a classic round and collarless neckline.

Originating over a century ago as an undergarment and inspired by rowing jumpers, this style is the most non-descript of the bunch, which is a quality that, perhaps ironically, makes it the most versatile. Inoffensive and durable, this cut acts as a blank canvas which you can build an outfit upon, whether you keep to its preppy roots and pair it with a floor-grazing skirt or eschew the collegiate origins altogether and opt for more on-trend trousers.

Best Boat-Neck Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: If the name of this top conjures up images of walnut-stained sailing yachts whisking through the Italian Peninsula or the turquoise stripes of beach parasols lining the Côte d'Azur, you’ll be in luck.

Like the crew-neck, the boat-neck long-sleeved top also has aquatic lineage, deriving its name from the blouses of French sailors. It’s marked by a slit that runs horizontally across your frame from collarbone to collarbone, with this hint of skin affecting a more sophisticated look as a result.

For those seeking something more Parisienne-adjacent in their long-sleeves, let it be known that this neckline is a staple of the City of Lights after being popularised by Coco Chanel in the ‘30s and enshrined by a Givenchy design worn by Audrey Hepburn in the ‘60s. So, if it’s the essence of European summer and Old Hollywood glamour that you’re after, the boat-neck long-sleeve should be the only style you seek out.

Best Ribbed Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: If you adore the effect of Issey Miyake’s signature Pleats Please line but are after something slightly less overt, a ribbed long-sleeve top is for you. Texture, in many ways, can be the defining quality of a garment. Features like suede accents, shearling trims or faux-fur collars and cuffs can certainly elevate a piece, so think of the ribbing along a straightforward long-sleeved top in the same vein.

Ribbed fabrics also boast signature vertical lines, which make anything it’s fashioned into more visually appealing. Minimalist but modern, snug but polished, it’s the sort of thing you’ll want to throw on for errand runs and early morning farmers' markets. (Think: Times when you want to look put together but don’t want to exert any energy.)

Best V-Neck Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: The most risqué of all long-sleeved tops, the V-neck is the sexy older sister of the crew-neck, making it a considerable contender for both sultry nights out and evenings in.

With its titular tapered point, the V-neck offers considerable real estate across the décolletage for you to capitalise. (Prada even recently issued styles that plunge down to your naval in its spring/summer 2026 collection, should that pique your interest.) Throw on a pendant necklace, tassel scarf or even a wash of shimmering body oil, and you’ll have a look that’s far more thoughtful than any other long-sleeve would allow.

Best Turtleneck Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: Cemented by Cameron Diaz in Nancy Meyers’ seminal Christmas classic, The Holiday, as the most sophisticated cold-weather look, a turtleneck long-sleeved top has certainly transcended its former status as a humdrum thermal layer.

Now, rather than being hidden away under t-shirts, jumpers and even dungarees (as Alexa Chung has demonstrated), turtlenecks are being worn solo. Don’t fret about looking like a late-00s Steve Jobs or early-90s The Rock, however, as the long-sleeved turtleneck top will always read more beatnik than costume, especially if worn with supple ballet flats and soft ruched loafers.

Best Button-Up Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: Be it the reign of brooches or the dominance of studs saturating everything from Khaite’s signature Benny Belt or Valentino’s new Nellcôte bag, fashion is fixated on pinnings. It makes sense, then, for button-up long-sleeved tops to join one of the best silhouettes in the category.

Sewing these spherical discs onto garments to make them more intriguing is not new by any means. However, with renewed interest in Alexander McQueen’s mother-of-pearl buttoned pieces from his spring/summer 2003 collection, both Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner recently wore the jacket version from the show, it’s no surprise to see this simple embroidered design element come back to the forefront.

Best Three-Quarter Length Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: What do independent labels like Mode Mischief, Cou Cou Intimates and Flore Flore have in common? They’re all proponents of the three-quarter-length long-sleeved top. Skimming just below the elbow, this style of shirt evokes the halcyon days of the Y2K era without all the pompous chintz or lurid palette. Whether fitted or flared, this sleeve length is the perfect hybrid for those seeking both functionality and flair given the way it so gracefully shows off the forearm.

Best Going-Out Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: The ‘going out’ top has long been heralded as the perfect complement to any pair of bottoms. Be it denim, wool, corduroy or silk, there isn’t a pair of trousers made more refined than when paired with an item of this variety. This is something that many internationally lauded contemporary labels know all too well. From Khaite’s Maddy corset top to Paris Georgia’s merino wool Heart bodysuit, a going-out top takes the guesswork out of piecing together an outfit by pulling together a look in very few steps.

Crucially, you must invest in a top that’s glamorous enough to suit cocktail bars and small-plate restaurants, whilst still performing every task expected from a long-sleeved top. There’s no point sacrificing thermal regulation for style, so opt for something with enough coverage whilst also possessing more intricate qualities like ruching, gathering, embroidery or trimmed accents.

Best Sheer Long-Sleeved Top

Style Notes: Though this might sound contradictory to the above, I truly consider a sheer long-sleeved top as one of the best purchases someone could make. Of course, if the naked dressing trend hasn’t proven how multifaceted a piece of nearly-tranparent fabric can be, then allow me to do the honours.

Whether worn on its own or layered over something else, the material brings a soft edge that conveys opulence. It’s both sensual and sculptural, making it a true wardrobe enigma, and therefore, staple, in my opinion.

Yep, it's true—bootcut jeans are back. There's just one problem: If you're not wearing them with boots like the name would suggest, what shoes should you wear with them? Well, Elsa Hosk just posted your answer. The model and Helsa founder published a slideshow of screenshot-worthy outfits to her Instagram feed this week, with one such ensemble offering a solution for the predicament I posed above: Brown kitten heels. Hosk recently sported a fabulous leopard-print Valentino coat (that casually costs $11,000!), bootcut jeans, and brown The Row pumps, finishing off the ensemble with a vintage Donald Duck T-shirt from Disneyland. Accessories-wise, a denim shoulder bag and Y2K sunnies were all she added.

For all intents and purposes, her statement coat should be the star of the show, but somehow, I kept coming back to her shoe-and-denim pairing. Not only did the cocoa-like brown color act as a neutral, elegant contrast to her mid-wash blue jeans, but the cut of her denim also fell easily and effortlessly over the top of her shoe style, with just the right amount of skin peaking out. Bootcut jeans aren't the easiest to style, so the fact that her shoe choice complemented the silhouette so well stuck with me—and made me want to buy a similar pair to re-create the combo.

Fashion has a funny way of making things that were once very dated relevant again with little to no explanation, and suddenly, we find ourselves falling for a skirt length or denim cut that we never would've considered wearing months prior. Case in point: flannel shirts, which can be seen on even the most stylish and sophisticated dressers in 2026, from L.A. and New York all the way to fashion cities across Scandinavia. Brands like The Row, Bottega Veneta, and Calvin Klein have all taken to incorporating the top style into their recent collections, turning flannel shirts into a luxury good that can be styled in fresh and modern ways you wouldn't expect. Speaking of styling, it's the key to getting this trend right, and fortunately, I'm about to share the exact way to wear a flannel shirt to make it look elegant, not costumey.

The trick to mastering flannel shirts in 2026 is to skip jeans, which is hard for anyone who, like me, relies on denim six out of the seven days in a week. It's important that you resist, though, because flannel shirts look far more polished and chic when you wear them with tailored trousers. For solid proof, see the way Elsa Hosk just wore the shirt style, opting for a sold-out The Row version with a mix of red-and-blue stripes paired with gray crease-front trousers with just the right amount of pooling at the hem. With the combination, she added a Gucci car coat in charcoal with an ice-blue silk lining as well as oversize Saint Laurent glasses, The Row's Alger handbag, and a pair of black loafers.

By steering clear of jeans, she was able to keep her flannel-shirt outfit from looking overly Western inspired. Instead, it played the same role that a crisp button-down shirt would, but with a touch more style and color. The heftier material of a flannel shirt also makes it a far better choice for this time of year, when a thin poplin alternative isn't quite weather-appropriate. Choosing loafers over boots, adding a designer handbag, and opting for a tailored car coat instead of something more cropped and casual likewise added to the refined look of Hosk's ensemble.

But Hosk isn't the only in-the-know dresser wearing this outfit formula in 2026. Flannel shirts and tailored trousers have also been spotted together on Oslo-based influencer and jewelry designer Annabel Rosendahl and London-based content creator and athlete Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks. However, the latter chose to tie her flannel shirt around her waist instead of wearing it the traditional way, another styling trick that's worth trying out yourself.

By now, we're well into boot season, and black, brown, and burgundy pairs continue to be the go-to choices for most people—emphasis on the word most. A select few with especially good taste are relying on another boot color trend to make their 2026 outfits feel elegant and fresh instead of predictable. From deeper cognac to softer sand, tan boots have been quietly taking over the new year, and Elsa Hosk is among those responsible for their rise. Shocker!

The model and Helsa founder has been donning tan boots for a while now, always dishing out styling inspiration for the neutral footwear on her Instagram. Her latest tan-boot outfit is, by far, her best yet. On Monday, Hosk posted a slideshow captioned, "Furs and joggers," tagging her brand. In the photos that followed, she can be seen wearing a butter-yellow oversize T-shirt with matching lounge pants. For contrast, she styled them alongside all-tan accessories, including a faux-fur scarf, a small Hermès Birkin bag, and a pair of knee-high, pointed-toe stiletto boots. One can rarely make a glorified sweatsuit appear elegant, but Hosk did just that, and her boots (and bag) are majorly responsible.

On Elsa Hosk: Helsa Double Sleeve Tee ($159), The Puff Pant ($219), and scarf; Hermès bag

What makes tan boots so desirable right now is that they're just as versatile and easy to style as any of the other popular neutral boot colors on the market. Still, they have a more vintage look that's appealing, especially pointed-toe stiletto boots in suede and smooth leather. For secondhand pairs, I suggest looking for a version from Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Jimmy Choo, or Manolo Blahnik. Jimmy Choo's modern versions and Staud's Wally Boots in the shade are equally buy-worthy. As they're dependable, unique, and beloved by fashion people with expensive taste who have a finger on the pulse of what's cool right now, it's no wonder tan boots are *the* buy of boot season.

There are many trends resurfacing today that we have Tom Ford to thank for: plunging necklines, sharp tailoring, and cleverly placed hardware, just to name a few. The designer's unapologetic sex appeal, especially during his iconic reign at Gucci during the mid 1990s and early 2000s, set the stage for an attitude that continues to be replicated and interpreted today. In fact, one such item spiking in popularity more than any other right now and it's the return of the satin shirt.

Thirty years on from the Gucci fall/winter 1995 collection that the shirts first showed in, I've noticed a rise in outfits featuring similar styles. The It girls of the moment—including Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk—are tapping into the same energy and styling these lustrous silk shirts as going-out tops with just one or two of the buttons fastened to maximize the Tom Ford energy.

On the Gucci F/W 1995 Runway

On Ford's Gucci fall/winter 1995 runway, models Kate Moss and Shalom Harlow were both styled in fitted silk button-downs that were tucked into flared velvet trousers.

On It Girls in 2026

Bieber sourced a teal shirt from the aforementioned Gucci fall 1995 collection which she styled with satin cigarette trousers and heeled mules while doing press in New York for Rhode's Sephora launch.

Elsa Hosk has designed a number of silk shirts for her brand Helsa in a range of vibrant hues like teal, icy blue, and ballet pink.

British label Aligne is likewise behind the trend with a light blue iteration that fashion people have taken to styling with slim trousers.

For a more classic look, try a shirt with a boxier fit that tucks in well to high-rise denim.

For an office-friendly take, use the lustrous finish of a silk shirt to contrast sharp tailoring like underneath a pant suit.

When it comes to effortless styling, however, wearing one with vintage denim and a pair of point-toe heels will never not be relevant.

Over the past year, celebrities have made it very clear that they're on a mission to diversify their legging colors instead of wearing plain black leggings all the time. We've covered Jennifer Lopez wearing dark-green leggings, Kendall Jenner wearing smoky-blue leggings, and Hailey Bieber wearing light-gray leggings, among others. But none even come close on the controversial spectrum to the legging color Elsa Hosk just wore.

Hosk recently posted the aforementioned incredibly chic legging outfit to her Instagram feed. The legging color that was the focal point of the look was white. White leggings certainly aren't for the faint of heart given their skintight nature, but Hosk made them look completely wearable. With her ALO leggings, Hosk wore a monochromatic look consisting of a cream zip-up cardigan along with another sweater tied around her waist (a clever trick for the timid). She carried a cognac suede The Row bag, and on her feet were crew socks and The Row Hugo Mules in the same color. It's also worth noting that another frequent legging wearer, Ana de Armas, was spotted in white leggings a couple of months ago. Could this be an indicator of an impending white-legging trend? I wouldn't be surprised in the least, and ALO's track record for launching legging color trends further solidifies it.

When Elsa Hosk launched Helsa in 2022, the model-turned-designer wanted to create the kind of wardrobe she was always searching for. Inspired by her heritage, Helsa is her love letter to Scandinavia. Focused on simplicity, comfort, and minimalism, the line is designed around elevated essentials drawn from Hosk's own must-haves.

They're intended to be timeless pieces that work as wardrobe staples and easily mix and match in a capsule closet. Sold exclusively at Revolve and Fwrd, Helsa—with its refined, pared-back approach to ready-to-wear—has become a fashion-editor favorite.

This season's standout pieces include the Bubble Puffer With Faux Fur and the Kelcey Hand Knit Kerchief Scarf, and highlights for spring include the Stretch Cotton Sateen Midi Dress and the Summer Vintage Nightgown. Personally, the Silk Celeste Dress immediately caught my eye.

Below, take a look at the best items to shop from the brand, from everyday basics to dressier options.

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, I have a habit of flirting with the same goals year after year. While a select few make it through to spring, many fall by the wayside before January is out. This year, however, I’m taking a different approach. Rather than overhauling my entire routine, I’m focusing on smaller habits that can genuinely make day-to-day life feel a little more considered. At the top of my list? Making smarter styling swaps that elevate my everyday outfits.

First on the agenda is rethinking the humble T-shirt. As dependable as it is, I’ve grown tired of reaching for the same cotton tees on repeat. Instead, I’m looking for an alternative that feels just as easy, but looks far more impactful—and Elsa Hosk has just enlightened me. Sidestepping simple tees and tanks, she’s been leaning into the ever-elegant satin shirt trend.

Thanks to its light-catching, glistening finish, a satin shirt brings a sense of polish that a standard T-shirt simply can’t rival. Case in point: Elsa styled Helsa's The Silk Charmeuse Shirt (£266) in a striking capri blue hue, pairing it with a knee-grazing pencil skirt in a contrasting deep grey. Her look felt refined yet uncomplicated—exactly the kind of elevated everyday look I’m aiming for this winter.

Keeping the rest of her outfit pared back, Elsa completed the look with leather flip-flops and sleek black sunglasses, letting the satin shirt do all the heavy lifting.

With their neat button fastenings and lustrous finish, satin shirts add far more intrigue than a cotton tee ever could. A simple switch with a high payoff, scroll on to discover and shop my edit of the best satin shirts to buy now.

Best Revolve Brands to Shop in 2026

Helsa

Model Elsa Hosk’s fashion brand is a minimal-with-a-Scandinavian-wink label that instantly raises the style bar of your wardrobe, with sharp tailoring, cool knits, and clean outerwear. The palette tends to stay neutral and wearable, making pieces easy to mix into an existing closet. Helsa also delivers plenty of head-turning dresses.

Lioness

With many options falling under $100, Lioness is not only a fashion-forward label but also the most affordable on this list. But don’t expect just basics. The Australian brand offers anything but meh pieces, with standard silhouettes that get a twist via asymmetric cuts, voluminous shapes, and trend-driven details. There is also standout denim, for when you want something unexpected.

LPA

The fashion brainchild of Pia Baroncini, LPA is the cool girl of Revolve-exclusive labels with cheeky miniskirts and flirty dresses. Pieces tend to be occasion-friendly but not one-night-only. Check the brand out for a new party dress or going-out top, stay for the statement outerwear and sleek shoes.

SRG

Sofia Richie Grainge’s brand is the newest addition to the Revolve roster. Though judging by the SRG hype, it’s hard to believe it launched just this fall. This has to do with its streamlined separates and dresses, refined outerwear, and wardrobe pieces that look put-together the moment you put them on. The vibe is minimal but not dull, with unexpected cuts and richly enveloping fabrics like suede and cashmere.
