Picture this: The year is 1999; you just saw Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen wearing matching Kate Spade Sam Bags complete with coordinating maxi skirts, cardigans, and choker necklaces to the Hollywood premiere of Anna and the King; and suddenly you don't just want but need one for yourself. In the mid to late '90s, it wasn't just a popular designer bag; it was arguably the designer bag, and everyone and their mother seemed to either own one or be shopping for one.

Released in 1993 and made from nylon with just a simple rectangular logo in black-and-white font, the Sam Bag helped launch the Kate Spade brand to much commercial success in the era. It became both an aspirational It bag spotted on celebrities like the Olsen sisters and Gwyneth Paltrow and an attainable piece of luxury that served as the first designer bag for many. "It perfectly captured the '90s aesthetic by embracing the minimalist fashion trend in a way that hadn't been seen before," notes Eva Erdmann, CEO and brand president of Kate Spade New York.

Now, the brand has rereleased the iconic handbag in its mini size in four spring-ready colors—black, white, vibrant yellow, and soft light blue—and at $158, the petite top-handle shape is one I can't help but want to shop in every color.

Leave it to Gabrielle Union to throw all of the fashion rules out the window. During Kate Spade New York's dinner celebration of the brand's latest book, It's So You: The Joy of Personal Style, Union wore the denim trend that stylish people everywhere love but some people scoff at: denim at night. The actress, joined by friends of the brand at Downtown legendary hot spot Indochine, wore a pair of effortlessly slouched wide-leg jeans with a trendy emerald sequin top.

New York style, and Kate Spade New York, is nothing but a mix of chic high and low items that, when paired together, deliver a fun, eclectic vibe. Just like the rest of the brand's guests (including Everything Everywhere All at Once actress Stephanie Hsu and TikTok star and actress Delaney Rowe), Union celebrated the night in style and heritage, a nod to the brand's 30th anniversary from earlier this year.

If you're looking to get your own Gab Union–inspired denim look, opt for a pair of loose-fitting, low- or mid-rise jeans in combination with a statement going-out top.

Every holiday season, there's at least one family member or friend who shopping for becomes a borderline impossible task. I've been told I'm that person in my family for my picky taste and unpredictable style choices. (Whoops!) But as that challenging relative, I understand, and I'm here to help—alongside four of my stylish and rightfully selective colleagues. The four categories we recommend purchasing from are apparel, jewelry, handbags, and shoes. You can never go wrong with a personalized necklace, statement handbag, new sweater, or cool pair of bow-embellished heels. This year, our editors' destination for these items is Kate Spade New York. This cool NYC-inspired brand is where fashion people flock to for their own wardrobes, so it only makes sense that it has every gift you will need. Keep scrolling to shop the editor-approved fashion gifts that even the pickiest loved one will adore this season.

The holidays are quickly approaching, and I'm teeming with excitement at the thought of spoiling my loved ones with gifts that they'll actually use and cherish. As an editor and member of Gen Z, I'm here to let you know that gift giving for this set doesn't have to be confusing or stressful. You probably already know that a fashion person doesn't want a basic box of chocolates, candle, or gift card they'll never use. But Kate Spade New York is a brand that will never fail to impress them. This iconic label has everything from timeless structured handbags to bold, contemporary accessories and even elegant jewelry. Keep reading to see the gifts that are guaranteed to spark joy for everyone on your list.

It feels like just yesterday I was taking notes on what my fellow NYC editors were shopping for summer, but here we are ready to discuss all things fall. The seasons may change, but my go-to inspiration remains the same: New Yorkers in their natural habitat. If you've ever lived in (or even visited) the city, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There's something so inherently cool about a New Yorker on the go, dressed head to toe in a look that's completely their own. The city has forever been a playground for the most creative, stylish, and hardworking individuals to showcase their personal style, and this fall is no exception.

If there's any brand that epitomizes this city's vibe, it's Kate Spade New York. What started in 1993 as a collection of just six handbags has blossomed into the modern brand we know today. But this fall, it's celebrating its roots with the launch of the Dakota bag. This sleek and timeless design inspired by the architecture of New York City is at the top of everyone's wish list this fall. My fellow editors and I have been raving about the versatile bag, which will make the perfect companion for our favorite fall activities in the city. Curious to see how we styled it? Keep scrolling to shop our go-to looks featuring this already iconic handbag for fall.

"One of the best things about fall is that it can reinvigorate your outlook on everything from your closet to your city. Whenever I'm in desperate need of inspiration, I'm lucky enough to be able to shuffle into any of the numerous art museums in New York City. I find that the arts often inspire my style, which is the case with the ensemble above. This look is perfect to wear to a museum (the jewelry feels contemporary enough to rival a modern painting), but the best part of this outfit is the Dakota bag, which is the ideal shape to carry around a gallery—it's the highlight of the look. For me, this outfit encapsulates what it means to draw inspiration from the world around you, whether that's through art or the new Kate Spade New York collection." — Jasmine Fox Suliaman, fashion editor

"Manhattan may be a 'smaller' borough when it comes to square footage, but there are infinite things to explore here. Most weekends, I love to play tourist by exploring new neighborhoods, trying new restaurants, and of course, shopping at local businesses. A long day of exploration calls for my staple dark denim jeans, a cool graphic tee, and chunky sneakers to support my step count. When the cool evenings come, this knit beanie is the kind of warmth I reach for. And of course, the Dakota bag is the perfect finishing touch. It's functional, versatile, but most importantly, timeless." — Natalie Gray Herder, editor

"For me and my friends, fall is the time of year that requires the most shopping. I think of it as the perfect time to overhaul my wardrobe with fun and cozy items. I love getting together with my girls and window-shopping the cute boutiques downtown. This is an occasion that I enjoy dressing up for, so I envision myself wearing a tailored suit and a stylish but hands-free bag. The perfect shopping day always ends with a brunch reservation and great conversation." — Sierra Mayhew, associate editor

"One of my favorite fall pastimes is simply walking around NYC. I love to take a stroll in the park and admire the fall foliage, so I need an outfit that's comfortable and cute. I'm absolutely in love with this adorable puff-sleeve dress, and can we talk about these loafer pumps? They're so chic and easy to walk in. Some sparkly earrings and the Dakota bag with gorgeous gold detailing elevate the entire look." — Emma Walsh, associate editor

If there's one thing I love, it's a chic handbag. I'm especially enthralled when it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Don't get me wrong. There's a time and a place for a beautiful investment bag, but if you're looking for a gorgeous bag priced under $300, I've got you covered. I've done what I do best and scoured my favorite online retail hot spots (think Staud, Nordstrom, and Shopbop) for some incredible handbag deals that I just had to share with you, including picks with intricate beading and fun pleats.

Whether you're in the market for a pretty everyday bag or a statement piece, there's a chic handbag ahead for you. You can expect trendy colors and silhouettes along with classic styles. Keep scrolling to score your new favorite handbag.

You know the one that got away? Well, it's back. And we just spotted it on the arm of Madelyn Cline. The actress was photographed en route to the Tag Heuer Carrera event last week in London sporting the truly iconic (it's in the name) Small Sam Icon Spazzolato Leather Shoulder Bag by Kate Spade New York. 

The brand, which burst onto the accessories scene in the '90s and has been beloved since, was originally known for its sleek, streamlined designs. This shoulder bag in particular was a favorite across the U.S.—even in the Midwest where I grew up. Given the resurgence in early aughts fashion, I must admit I wasn't surprised to see Kate Spade reissue this shoulder bag style, but was I delighted? Absolutely. 

So, if you've been eyeing this particular purse since your high school days, take this as a sign to buy it now. Keep scrolling to shop Cline's iconic Kate Spade purse, plus 13 more black shoulder bags we love.

If there's one designer I can always count on for dreamy spring pieces, it's kate spade new york. Every time I peruse the site, I'm met with gorgeous bold hues, pretty florals, and joyful prints that define the season. Whether I'm looking for a raincoat (as they say, April showers bring May flowers), a colorful sweater to mix up my neutral knits rotation, or a handbag that looks like an actual bouquet of flowers (yes, really), the brand is ready to bring sunshine to even the rainiest of my spring days.

In anticipation of spring, I'm catching up with content creators Sarah Cuervo and Taylor Quitara to see how they'll be styling pieces from kate spade new york's newest collection for their adventures this season. And just as I suspected, their looks are giving me an immediate serotonin boost. Are you ready to see what I mean? Keep scrolling to see what these two have in store for spring and which kate spade new york pieces they're bringing along for the ride.

"The first step to a proper New York spring day is dressing the part," says Cuervo. "I need to match the energy of the season, especially with my outfit." The TikToker is a regular on Roosevelt Island as soon as the Cherry Blossoms begin blooming in all their pink glory. "I find the most iconic view and have a picnic with my besties," she says. Cuervo started her spring look with the basics: a pretty, white eyelet top and light-wash, wide-leg jeans. But she took things up a notch with this bright crossbody bag. (Lime is a huge color trend this season, FYI.)

What's better than one green look? Two green looks. "I will never turn down the opportunity to bring my Pinterest boards to life, and this look does just that," says Cuervo. For a day at the museum (another of Cuervo's favorite seasonal activities), she styles a matching green cardigan and bag with a pleated miniskirt, loafers, and high socks. "Something about 'preppy Blair Waldorf meets dark academia school girl' will always call my name, so you know I will be repeating this look shamelessly," she tells me.

For Quitara, the perfect spring day starts off with a stop at her favorite cafe and a long walk around the city. "Springtime in New York means rain with a hint of the sunshine to come, and truthfully, this coat has me excited to get caught in the rain." (Even I, a sunny-day enthusiast, wouldn't mind a sprinkle if I had this waterproof piece in my closet.) "The beautiful flower details on both the coat and this handbag are perfect for my maximalists who want to shine on a dreary day," she explains.

Quitara is building a statement-bag collection, so it's no surprise that she's sporting this cloud-shaped purse. (Can we take a second for the little pearl details?) "Since the bag makes such a statement, I wanted to stick to a neutral color palette with blue accents and incorporate different textures," she says. On a gloomy day like this one, "a light-colored maxi skirt can give the illusion of spring while keeping you warm, and you can always wear tights!" I'm already stealing this outfit idea for my next brunch 'fit—thank you very much.

Rarely does a celebrity have a hold on us sartorially in the same way that Katie Holmes does, especially in the last few years. Whatever she wears, whether it's to stop into her local art shop or go out on a day date, we'll pay attention to it. Usually, we'll even copy it. Case in point: her latest look, which I personally have already bookmarked for plenty of future reference. 

For a summer day spent in NYC, the Dawson's Creek alum paired our favourite trend for any season really, an oversize button-down shirt, with faded black loose-fitting jeans, retro trainers, and a Kate Spade tote bag that added just the right amount of colour to the low-key ensemble. Uncomplicated yet noteworthy, the look, like so many of the ones Holmes puts together, is copy-able in every way. At least, I know I'll be making it my own in the coming weeks.

In April, I had the pleasure of attending the Kate Spade New York fall 2022 presentation of its new collection. I’ve always had a love for Kate Spade. In fact, when I was applying for fashion school, I did my entry project on Kate Spade, and working for the brand was my first retail job when I moved to L.A. at 18. The presentation was held in a townhouse in Soho, with the overall theme being hosting an open house or housewarming party. When I arrived, I could see the models mingling as if we were attending a party. There were tons of great breakfast snacks and coffee, and of course, I could see all of the beautiful clothes. 

The best part of my morning was yet to come, as I knew I would be bumping into Emma Roberts soon to talk about the collection and all things fashion. Roberts was wearing an adorable red-and-pink minidress and matching coat, looking like the picture of New York City chic. When we got a few moments together, I asked her about everything from trends she's predicting for fall to maternitywear hacks. Keep scrolling to see what we talked about.

Of all of the great pieces that are debuting in the Kate Spade fall 2022 collection, which ones are you most excited about? 

Well, what I love about the collection is that it looks like you can mix and match every piece. I love mixing plaid with polka dots and how the accessories have a ’90s feel if you look at some of the handbags. I know they’re bringing back the Sam bag, which I am already coveting. But I just love that it all seems very wearable and can be dressed up or dressed down.

Kate Spade has always had a special place in my heart. It was actually my first retail job. What do you love about the brand? 

When I think of Kate Spade, I always think of the middle school version of me who wanted a Kate Spade bag more than anything in the world. I remember I saved up for a Kate Spade pencil case, and I just thought I was the coolest. In retrospect, it was probably a makeup bag that I, in middle school, was using for pencils and just felt so chic with my Kate Spade pencil case. For me, the middle schooler in me is like, "Wow, I can’t believe you get to go to the Kate Spade fall presentation.”

Since spring is here and summer is fast approaching, what are the items that are currently or will be in heavy rotation in your wardrobe?

I feel like I have been cold for the past six months here on the East Coast, so summer is not even on my radar right now. But I cannot wait for swimsuit season. I love to go bathing-suit shopping, and I love to find great vintage denim shorts. I feel like I can’t ever buy new denim shorts and have them look good, so I’m always hunting for vintage denim shorts for summer.

Since we are at the Kate Spade fall 2022 preview, what trends do you predict will be big for this upcoming fall? 

I’m not a huge trend predictor by any means, but for myself, I’m excited Kate Spade has done a new version of a leopard coat. I am in need of a new leopard coat, and I think with leopard you can never go wrong. I saw that they have a new leopard-print coat coming out, and I’m really excited to get my hands on that. 

Maternity style has changed a lot, with some of our favorite A-listers growing their families, such as Shay Mitchell, Rihanna, and, of course, you! How has becoming a mom changed your personal style? 

I’m definitely less precious about my clothing. I wear it. I enjoy it, and if it gets ruined or messy, then it does, and that’s okay. … Because a bunch of my friends are pregnant right now and are asking me what to wear maternity-wise, I get stuff in bigger sizes from Zara and places like that. Just easy clothes to throw on in bigger sizes.

I adored the pink gingham suit you posted on your Instagram back in February. When it comes to swimwear, what styles do you love for this season? 

Thank you! It’s from Solid&Striped. When it comes to swim, I love high-waisted bottoms so I don’t really have to worry about what’s happening with my abs or lack thereof. I haven’t done my swimwear shopping yet, but I love a high-waisted bottom. I think it takes a little pressure off while enjoying the beach.

One of my favorite roles you played was Chanel Oberlin in Scream Queens because of her hilarious, iconic lines but also because of her chic style. Do you ever pull fashion inspiration from roles you’ve played and apply that to your real-life wardrobe? 

I mean, my outfit today is not, not inspired by Chanel. I’ll leave it at that!

Leave it to Katie Holmes—the actress who single-handedly blew up the internet when she wore a cashmere cardigan–and-bralette duo from Khaite with vintage denim back in 2019—to debut the finest knit-and-jeans combo of the year thus far. On Monday, Holmes was spotted in New York City wearing what can only be described as my ideal fall look: a white T-shirt, Western boots, a cashmere cardigan and a pair of high-rise jeans that fit just right. Like so many of the Dawson's Creek alum's outfits, the look was casual and elevated at the same time, which I can tell you from experience is easier said than done. 

The real winners from Holmes's outfit are her jeans (which are mid-wash and straight-leg) and her cardigan (a pink-and-gray knit by Kate Spade New York that is somehow still in stock). Called the Colorblock Cashmere Gallery Cardigan, the two-tone sweater costs £295 and comes in a total of five colourways, ranging from red-and-pink to cream-and-white. In other words, there's one for every mood during sweater season.

Next, the cozy grandma trend that comes back in style every fall.

It’s a well-known fact that trends live on a cycle: they become popular and then eventually fall out of fashion. And the same goes for fashion brands. In fact, the most prominent fashion brands of the 2000s are now relics of the past. Today’s biggest fall trends could be the look we cringe at five years from now, and our favorite brands could become bankrupt and totally defunct. As evident by the once-beloved items stashed away in our closets awaiting their eventual resurgence, it’s clear that predicting what trends and brands become beloved by the cultural zeitgeist is a recurring challenge. 

But that doesn’t mean we can’t look back from time to time. Given the resurgence of ’90s fashion trends over the past several seasons, it only makes sense to revisit the trends and brands that exemplified 2000s fashion. For better or worse, the ’00s set the stage for the fashion industry as we know it today, including the rise of paparazzi street style shots, airport style, athleisure, and so many other defining moments.

So, who better to speak to that than celebrity fashion stylist Nicole Chavez? Credited with styling ’00s pop-culture icons like Jessica Simpson and Rachel Bilson (both of whom she still works with today), Chavez was eager to take a stylish walk with us down memory lane. Ahead, we talked about her perspective on styling, trends, and the fashion brands that defined the 2000s. Buckle up, because this time machine is about to transport you back to the era of low-rise jeans.

About Nicole Chavez

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What led you to become a celebrity stylist, and who were your first clients? 

I started styling very early in the 2000s. I worked as a shopper and costumer on television shows and movies, and at the time, I was working on a show called The OC. That’s where I met Rachel Bilson, and she became my first client. She needed someone to help her with styling for the red carpet and other events, and she would ask me for advice, so it just happened organically. It was something I didn’t even really know existed as a career, but I fell in love with it. And then Rachel introduced me to Kristen Bell. We hit it off and started working together. Bell became my second client, which legitimized me becoming a stylist. I was still one foot in, one foot out. I was still working in costuming and working in TV and film. But once Kristin became a client, I left what I was doing and started my own styling business from scratch. I had never assisted anybody; I just made it up as I went; it was a fake until I made it kind of thing. 

What was it like being a stylist during the 2000s? Was it any different from the industry now? 

Well, back then, there were a lot fewer designers, so we saw this surge of young designers. There were many up-and-coming people that were being backed by Vogue like Zac Posen and Baby Phat. It was an exciting time, and everyone was eager to go to each other’s fashion shows, to support each other. It kind of just felt like a bunch of kids in art school. We all were there to help one another and everyone kind of grew up together at that time. It didn’t feel formal, like today, it feels formal and business and driven by marketing. 

About 2000s Fashion

How was the approach to fashion in the 2000s different than it is now? 

Back then, it was much more creative; the styling felt more authentic. It was about the girls and the designers they liked. They were never forced to wear anything. People didn’t pay to dress anybody at that time; it was a time of self-discovery for all of us, and we all made mistakes. Don’t get me wrong—there was some really bad fashion at the time, but people weren’t afraid to express themselves. People now want to play it safe because they want to make sure they’re not being slammed in the tabloids for something, so there was a bit more freedom. 

There was also a lot less pressure back then; pressure from publicists, pressure from designers, social media. We’d have to literally wait to see what celebrities were wearing to a premiere, or what was trending at that time. There wasn’t this instant gratification. You’d actually become excited to see what was happening then. And it’s in that space—that street style, paparazzi photographs, and coming and going shots of celebrities at clubs or the airport—that became popular.

It’s also worth noting that the actress was in one lane. Now, they’re brands, they’re businesswomen, they’ve got multiple lanes they’re working out of, and they’re promoting a lot of different things on their platforms, versus before when they were just promoting their art. 

Do you feel like how the styling industry has evolved has made creativity around styling less free? 

Yes, because a lot of these companies now are very corporate, so you have to fit in that box if you’re representing that brand. It’s not just you’re representing yourself; you’re representing them, so you get strict, narrow guidelines regarding what they can wear. Sometimes it comes down to color or specific neckline they have to wear when promoting a particular brand. It’s very specific now. 

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a rise in the ’90s nostalgia. Do you predict 2000s fashion will also make its comeback? Why or why not?

We’ve already seen the revival of the velour tracksuit. Skims just launched its velour collection. Suzie Kondi has been doing terry sweatsuits the past couple of years. There’s a lot. I work with Jessica Simpson, and she grew up in the ’00s in True Religion denim. And she’s still a big fan of the low-rise jean because it fits her body well. It’s great for specific body types, and I know people will freak out, but I think those are coming back. 

Fashion Brands That Defined the 2000s

What fashion brands that you feel were the most influential in the 2000s?

There were all these little budding brands, but most of them aren’t around anymore. If I were to name a few that are still recognizable today, I’d say… 

It’s not my personal favorite look, but you have to admit that it is a quintessential 2000s style. After all, who could forget those bedazzled trucker hats? For better or for worse, Ed Hardy’s collections defined 2000s fashion. 

Shop Ed Hardy

I’m not just saying this because they were one of Jessica Simpon’s favorite brands during the 2000s. We can thank True Religion for making those low-rise jeans a fashion staple in the 2000s.

Shop True Religion

Again, this fashion brand was super iconic in the 2000s. While there were many great budding streetwear brands like F.U.B.U., Sean John, and Baby Phat, this is one brand that’s still around, and it helped bring to life one of our favorite current trends: bucket hats.

Shop Kangol

Everyone back in the 2000s had to have a Kate Spade bag. It was a status symbol. In many ways, Kate’s Spade was a phenomenon. The Sam Satchel and that moment were the origins of the It bag. Of course, there was the Chloé Paddington bag, which was popular during the ’00s. But what made Kate Spade famous was that it wasn’t just for fashion insiders. The bag came from New York and was popularized by Gossip Girl, but it was worn by women everywhere.

Shop Kate Spade's Sam Satchel

Jenni Kayne, to me, is still that brand. Rachel Bilson and I went to her first fashion show at L.A. fashion week around 2003. And I still shop at Jenni Kayne today, you know. There’s been a significant evolution of her brand, but she’s still true to who she was when I look back.

Shop Jenni Kayne

Despite the fact that Juicy Couture folded in 2015, the brand still holds its weight in the fashion world and epitomized the 2000s. From the Velour tracksuit to the shoulder bag with charms to baby doll dresses, this fashion brand created some of the most iconic looks we remember to this day.

 Style Icons and Trends That Defined the 2000s

When you think of celebrities that defined early 2000s fashion, who first comes to mind, and why? And are there any specific outfits or images that stick out in your mind? 

I always gravitate towards the bohemian girls, so for me, it was Sienna Miller, big time. She was such a fashion icon at that time—she nailed the festival-wear vibe. Sarah Jessica Parker was another icon whose personal style I feel defined the 2000s. I like fashion that creates conversation, and SJP is someone that does that. And of course, that’s when Rachel Bilson and Jessica Simpson broke out. And then Mary Kate and Ashley’s style evolved as it went along. And Cameron Diaz and Nicole Richie were icons in their own right too.  

When you think about the 2000s fashion trends, is there one that comes to mind that you know is incredibly popular but most people probably didn’t realize the origins of the trend? What brand(s) did this well?

I mean there were so many, but the first that come to mind are…

Hoodies Under Blazers

Veronica Beard created a brand out of it, but that was big back then.

Crop Tops

If you look back at any of the images from the 2000s, you’ll see all the crop tops. It was like everyone was shopping the juniors section back then.

Ruched Dresses

When you think of the ruched dresses and baby-doll dresses, they all came from Y2K. Juicy Couture popularized them.

Leather Pants

Leather pants are by no means was new in Y2K, but the way in which they were styled casually was a fresh take that defined 2000s fashion. Think back to TLC or Destiny’s Child’s iconic red-carpet moments. It was all kind of happening at that point, and it was happening in leather pants. 

Athleisure

Up until that point, no one had dressed that casual. You saw this Athleisure explosion in the 2000s. If you look at the old red carpet images, everybody was relaxed. They were wearing low-rise jeans and tube tops, or tracksuits and backward caps. The 2000s was like, "I’m not dressing up—I’m going to wear whatever I want.” It’s a precursor to the quarantine wardrobe. It was sort of like the breakdown of fashion. 

2000s Fashion Trends Bound to Make a Comeback

If 2000s fashion makes a comeback, what trends would you say we should revive, and which ones should we leave in the past? 

There are so many trends that have already come back, but I’d say these are the trends we should revive, and leave in the past…

Leave in the past: Embellished denim

Bring it back: Low-rise (denim, hems, all the low-rise things)

I’m not into embellished jeans at all. If you think back to those embarrassing Ed Hardy jeans, it just feels dated. I’m sure there’s a chic way to embellish jeans, but I’m not into tattoo art.

However, I think instead of bringing back embellished jeans, it’s time to get into low-rise denim. I know that’s scary, but I think we’re going to see a lower rise in many things. Don’t be afraid of low-rise if you want to do the jeans super oversize. Oversize low-rise is a compromise. You don’t have to do the Apple Bottom jeans, the Britney spears version, or whatever. You can do oversize jeans that have a low rise. And remember that Mary Kate and Ashley always used to wear low-rise skirts? You can try that too. In general, low-rise is going to come back, so you can take that cut and you can incorporate it into other bottoms.

Leave in the past: Pashminas

Bring it back: Shrugs/cropped cardigans

Everyone had a pashmina back in the 2000s. If you didn’t have a pashmina back then, I don’t know what you were doing. Which makes me wonder, "Where are all those pashminas now?” But despite them being everywhere, I doubt they’ll come back. Instead, I think you’ll see and have already seen shrugs and cropped cardigans come back. I feel like that will make a significant resurgence if it hasn’t already.

Leave in the past: Long tunics over jeans

Revive it: Tube top 

I hope long tunics over jeans never come back—they never look good on anyone. If anything should come back from the ’00s, it’s tube tops. You have to make sure the girls are in there, so it might not be a trend for everybody, but I prefer that over the tunics because you can always make a tube top look cool. Sarah Jessica Parker made tube tops a whole look, and we’ve seen a slight resurgence of it on newer celebrities like Bella Hadid.

Leave in the past: Platform flip-flops 

Revive it: Kitten heels

Platform flip-flops… I just can’t. For me, it’s too iconic for that period. I’m sure it will come back as the platform clogs did, but I just can’t. I would say if you want to opt for a ’00s shoe, try kitten heels. Or if you’re going to make an ode to flip-flops, opt for flip-flop kitten heels that have been popular as of late.

Leave it in the past: Velour suits in bubble-gum hues

Revive It: Velour suits in nude tones

What’s modern about the velour suit now is the color choices. Back in the 2000s, it felt very bubble-gum candy vibes—hot pink, yellow, and blue. If you bring about this trend, I recommend opting for colors that are a little less junior and working on a nude palette. Picking interesting colors will help modernize that trend. Also, playing with the shape—like a Suzie Kondi harem-pant sweatsuit—and adding a different silhouette element to it will make it feel modern and current. 

If you were going to describe the trends and fashion of the 2000s in one sentence, what would you say? 

It was just an enjoyable time. It felt creative, exciting, and never dull.

Next: The 2000s Fashion Trends Everyone Will Wear This Year

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!

It came late this season, but it should have come as no surprise: Wacky weather during New York Fashion Week is like death and taxes—a certainty that's impossible to avoid.

But, as they say, neither snow nor rain nor heat can keep buyers, influencers, and your faithful Who What Wear editors from traipsing across the city to assess the future season of fashion and begin to carefully curate a list of the latest must-haves. This responsibility, particularly when paired with winter weather advisories, can make this street style–meets–The Amazing Race of a week even more challenging to navigate—especially on foot.

Below you'll find a selection of the most weather-proof-but-still-cute shoes we're wearing around the city this week. From uptown to downtown (and even that weird part of Manhattan that's not quite Soho, Tribeca, or the West Village), these are the best snow boots for winter when the (fashion) show must go on!

We're of the opinion that everything we buy should be viewed as an investment. Be it a Topshop dress, a pair of bejeweled shoes, vintage partywear, or a high-ticket camel coat, every item in our wardrobes is loved just the same. However, there's no denying that we have a very special place in our hearts for classic designer handbags.

A designer bag should truly last a lifetime—which is why it pays to seek out and save up for styles from the industry's most trusted fashion brands. From well-established pieces like Chanel and Dior to relatively new styles from brands such as Loewe, there are so many different options to choose from that the process can be made all the more daunting.

So, to help you decide which bag is the right investment for you, we've done the hard work and pooled the world's classic designer handbag brands together in one place, along with the bags that helped cement their respective timeless statuses.

We must admit that sleeping in an old oversize tee will always be too comfortable to resist, but there's just something about sleeping in a matching set of pj's that feels just as good (if not better). Whether it's because they make you feel like you have at least part of your life together or because you can easily wear them beyond the house, we can't get enough. Especially during fall.

As summer fades away and days get shorter and lazier, there's more than enough reason to either stay bundled up and cozy inside your abode or go outside your comfort zone and give a new (comfortable) trend a try. Regardless, ahead find 15 cute fall pajama sets that will do just that.

Now let's slip into something more comfortable.

If you're like us, you might believe there's no such thing as too many statement earrings. Each pair is highly necessary to achieve the specific look you were aiming for—be it as your ensemble's standout piece or a small part of a maximalist moment. Still, our bank account might disagree.

Despite how big or intricate your statement earring is, that doesn't have to mean that they can't be budget-friendly. In fact, earrings that look much more expensive than they actually are do exist if you know where to look. With this in mind, we've pinpointed 15 of our favorites. Each style is priced $50 and under, yet they have the powerful to transform a whole outfit. Keep scrolling to shop our favorite accessory.

Go ahead—your bank account won't be mad at you.

Updated June 20: In the wake of its founder's death, the Kate Spade New York brand is making a $1 million charitable donation to suicide prevention and mental health organizations, WWD reports. To start, $250,000 will be donated to the Crisis Text Line, a free, 24/7 text service to support people in the midst of a crisis.

"Additionally, the brand will match public donations made to the Crisis Text line starting June 20 through June 29, up to the amount of $100,000," WWD reports. On the campaign's website, you can see exactly how your donation will be used to help the organization, which has raised $22,000 as of this writing. 

Originally published June 5, 2018: Designer Kate Spade has died in an apparent suicide at the age of 55, per AP News. Kate and her husband, Andy Spade, launched her iconic brand in 1993, and many of her bags went on to achieve cult status. She parted ways with her namesake brand in 2007 and went on to create a new brand called Frances Valentine.

The New York Times aptly describes her career: "Kate Spade, one of the first of a powerful wave of female American contemporary designers in the 1990s, built a brand on the appeal of clothes and accessories that made women smile," the newspaper wrote. "Her cheerful non-restraint struck a chord with consumers, as did her bright prints." Scroll down to take a look back at her life and career.

If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or struggling with depression or anxiety, reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. 

What's the opposite of dainty, barely there jewelry? Statement pieces, of course. Aside from obviously making a statement, the eye-catching accessory—oftentimes oversize, chunky, and boldly embellished—is one of (if not the) easiest way to elevate a look. Say, for example, you're in the mood to wear a classic tee-and-jean outfit but don't want to be too casual? Add a fruity statement piece necklace for that extra flare.

Now if your jewelry box (specifically, your necklace collection) needs a bit of TLC, we're here to help. Ahead we've rounded up some of the coolest statement piece necklaces currently on the market. From a fun, fruit-embellished choker to a chunky, chain-link one, these eye-catching accessories are sure to be serious conversation starters.

Not such a fan of statement necklaces? No worries—we rounded up the coolest statement earrings from 15 under-the-radar designers. 

If there's one accessory that is so often forgotten about come warm weather, it's a summer scarf. While yes, sandals, straw bags, and statement jewelry can dress up (or down) a look in a pinch, the oftentimes bold printed fabric may just be the easiest and most versatile way to refresh your existing wardrobe pieces for the new season ahead. Now, if you're not quite sure about how to wear a scarf in the summer, you've come to the right place because we've rounded up a few of our favorite ways to style the accessory.

If the summer heat and humidity are getting the best of your hair, loosely tie a breezy silk scarf over it to conquer the frizz (while channeling Old Hollywood glamour). Or do you want to change up the look and feel of a classic button-down? Style a colorful neckerchief underneath the collar to instantly transform the wardrobe staple.

Remember that there are no limits or set rules on how to wear a scarf this summer. Instead, have fun with the accessory by testing out various prints, fabrics, and tying methods. Your closet basics (and hair) will thank you. Now read on to see how fashion girls are wearing scarves in the warm weather, and then shop a few of our favorites that are perfect for summertime.

Pair a thin, patterned scarf with a fun dress for a super-chic look.

Make an extra-long scarf the statement piece by teaming it with casual jeans and a cool bomber jacket. Wear tucked in for an extra edge.

Wear a printed neck scarf underneath the collar of your shirt (or dress) to make the wardrobe staple feel fresh.

Bad hair day? No worries. Loosely tie a scarf over it to hide the frizz and protect from the sun and wind.

Don't want to wear a scarf around your neck? Tie it onto your favorite handbag for the perfect splash of color.

While we often praise designers based on their latest seasons, or up-and-coming trends, there are other reasons we should celebrate brands: Namely, when they take action to incite positive change in the world. Though you may not realise, a number of very famous brands either have their own organisations, or support other charities. Because of International Women’s Day coming up, our focus is currently on unapologetic women.

We were curious to see which brands supported women’s rights, and what we found pleasantly surprised us. While we've already mentioned that online retailers like Net-A-Porter and Farfetch have curated collections that donate to women’s charities, these are the fashion brands that work to support women on a regular basis. By providing support and finances to important causes, these designers are helping to change women’s lives for the better.

Coach

By partnering with the Charity, Step Up, Coach supports teenage girls from under-resourced communities. With a three million dollar pledge, Coach’s partnership with the organisation “will enable Step up to connection an additional 3,000 girls in more cities to a network of powerful women for mutual inspiration."

Kate Spade

Kate Spade’s On Purpose line focuses on three distinct values: Empowerment, courage, and community. By using the supplier ADC, the On Purpose line provides long term jobs for women in Rwanda.

In addition, Kate Spade has also created the Kate Spade & Company Foundation. According to the brand’s website, “the Foundation is committed to providing women with access to the training, tools and access necessary to achieve economic independence.” Providing about $1.2 million per year in the forms of grants and donations, the brand “ [pursues] this mission by supporting multi-dimensional programs that transition women from under-served communities into successful individuals that inspire the people around them.”

Diane Von Furstenberg

Founded in 2010, the DVF Awards were created to recognise and support women dedicated to bettering the lives of other women. As the organisation’s website states, the women awarded “have had the courage to fight, the power to survive, and the leadership to inspire.” Each year, five recipients are given $50,000 grants in order to further their non-profit organisations.

Tory Burch

In an effort to support female entrepreneurs, the Tory Burch Foundation was created in 2009. By providing access to capital, entrepreneurial education, and mentoring and networking opportunities, the foundation encourages women to embrace ambition and follow their dreams.

Stella McCartney

It’s no secret that Stella McCartney supports charitable organisations and has been known to stand up for causes close to her heart; and one such charity is Kering Corporate Foundation. According to the brand’s website, the charity “provide[s] financial support to sustainable and long-term field initiatives conducted by NGOs on various issues surrounding violence against women and women’s empowerment.”

Welcome to Runway Matters, where we're delivering notes straight from the runway so you can quickly digest the most important trends and noteworthy moments from the F/W 18 shows.

When your brand has New York in its name, there’s probably a little extra pressure to really pull out all the stops during NYFW. However, that’s something that Kate Spade New York has always excelled at: making each new collection presentation feel fun, special, and a lot like a celebration. For fall 2018, it was no different.

Not only did the historical building where today's show was held blow us away, the collection's country theme instantly charmed us as well. Yes, that meant lots of leather, frilly tops, and denim. However, there was also no shortage of true NYC girl essentials, including pretty puffer jackets, statement heels, and an accessory that helps you get your act together once and for all. Here’s what to know from today’s show.

The Show’s Unexpected Star

The venue of the Kate Spade New York show was nothing short of breathtaking. It took place at the Masonic Hall in Chelsea, where golden stage lights and beautiful mezzanine seating that wrapped around the space floored all the attendees. It was #InstaWorthy, to say the least.

The Year of the Horse

While technically we’re currently in the Year of the Dog, Kate Spade’s collection had a very strong equestrian vibe happening. And we’re not mad about it one bit.

The Technical Advantage

Most models were sporting the same accessory during the presentation: the brand’s latest iteration of a smartwatch. The piece blended in nicely with the collection, proving that this lineup was clearly designed for the woman who’s on the edge as far as personal style and personal organization.

The Shoes to Start Saving For

With an overall Western-inspired theme, the boots were the most covetable pieces in the presentation. There were sleek, deep burgundy pairs and pretty, flower-covered designs. Whatever your poison, we’ll wager you’ll be feeling a little bit country come fall.

The Crowd to Rub Elbows With

Kate Spade’s presentations usually feel more like a party (drinks, snacks, and live music, included!), and its attendees are always the girls you wish you were IRL friends with. We found ourselves floating around actresses including Lucy Hale, Natalia Dyer, Jamie Chung, and Rachel Bloom, all while taking a peek at the new collection.

If there’s one thing that you can bet on finding in a fashion girl’s carry-on bag, it’s a passport wallet. You’ve probably even seen them on Instagram flat lays or on trips abroad because they happen to be an essential for every international traveler. Passport wallets are a great way to keep your travel essentials organized and are also a stylish addition to your jet-setting ensemble.

We’ve scoured the internet to round up the best styles out there. These chic accessories are available in both affordable and luxe styles and even custom monogramming. Plus, they’re a great gift for anyone who is about to set off on a trip to another continent. Keep scrolling to find 15 chic passport wallets to shop now.

If you’re tech-savvy and always have to have the latest gadget, chances are that you’ve sprung for the iPhone X—or received one as a very generous gift over the holidays. Apple’s latest cell phone rollout is touted with a new and improved camera, a full-screen display without a home button, and even a Face ID, which eliminates the need for a password to unlock your cell. Either way, if you’re dropping $1K on a brand-new phone, you’ll definitely want to invest in a case to protect it.

The selection is still somewhat sparse, but brands have started rolling out a few more cases for the iPhone X. Whether you’re after something sleek and minimal, something playful and fun, or even one you can customize with your name, we’ve rounded up the coolest cases to protect your new phone. You can shop 16 cute phone cases for the iPhone X here.

The Middleton sisters tend to lean on a small number of British high-street brands again and again, including Whistles, Reiss and L.K.Bennett. However, there's an American label that they couldn't stop wearing this year—Kate Spade. On Pippa Middleton's honeymoon in the summer, she was photographed wearing a striped beach dress and a blue-and-white sundress by Kate Spade, and wore several of its tweed coats and jackets in the lead up to her wedding.

Her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge, is also a fan of Kate Spade, as this year she has worn a printed midi dress by the brand and a pair of statement red tassel earrings. It's a natural pairing, given you'll find plenty of pearl accessories, nude pumps, pretty dresses and tweed—all the makings of a very Middleton outfit. Keep scrolling to see how Kate and Pippa have worn the label this year, and shop our edit of Middleton-ready pieces.

Style Notes: Pippa Middleton wore this striped Kate Spade sundress with a black mini-chain shoulder bag on her honeymoon in Australia. 

Style Notes: Kate Middleton wore a pair of red tassel Kate Spade earrings earlier this year. 

Style Notes: In November of this year, Kate wore the Kate Spade diamond-print shirtdress with a pleated skirt. Although it's now sold out (typical), the shirt in the same print is still available for £195.

Style Notes: In 2016, Kate wore this pink and purple floral midi dress with a pretty tie collar.

What was the It bag you wanted in the '90s? If it wasn't a Louis Vuitton Speedy, chances are it was probably Kate Spade's iconic Sam Bag. The square nylon bag—bedecked with a subtle designer logo, of course—was all the rage a couple decades ago, and now it's officially back.

"I think that bag started Kate Spade 25 years ago, but it's still relevant today," the brand's chief creative offer, Deborah Lloyd, told Glamour. "So many people that speak to you about that bag say, 'Oh my goodness, it was my first bag!' It became one of the first It bags." She told Glamour that fans "are always wanting to see the Sam back." Their wish is Kate Spade's command. Scroll down to shop the resurrected bag now. 

Kate Middleton's recent tour of Canada was filled with a slew of a slew of stylish looks, including a mix of high-end designers—like Preen, Jenny Packham, and Alexander McQueen—and casual staples like Superga sneakers. If you were sad to see the sartorial parade come to an end, don't fret: The Duchess of Cambridge just stepped out in yet another gorgeous number that we're dying to re-create.

Attending an event with Prince William for World Mental Health Day in London, she donned Kate Spade's Encore Rose Tie Neck Pleat Chiffon Dress ($498). We love the romantic floral print, the flattering A-line silhouette, and the feminine tie-neck detailing of this gorgeous frock, but the best part is that the dress is still in stock! In "Kate Middleton style" fashion, we have a feeling this dress will go quickly.
