Yes, Hollywood has always been full of nepo babies, but the next-gen cohort is actually super compelling. You have Cillian Murphy's son, Aran, who appears in two just-released TV shows: War, alongside Sienna Miller, and Youth, starring Sharon Horgan. Then there's Matthew McConaughey's son, Levi, who made his runway debut at Vogue World in Milan last month. A conversation about bright young things wouldn't be complete without mentioning Apple Martin, daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, who will make her feature film debut in an upcoming Nancy Meyers movie.

Today, Martin was photographed grabbing lunch in New York City wearing the denim trend her mom lived in in the '90s: bootcut jeans. She styled her white pair with block-heel ballet pumps, a graphic tee, and an oversized blazer. No DNA test needed here! This look has vintage Paltrow written all over it.

Thanks to the rise in colour analysis—the slightly mortifying act of having swatches of different fabrics swathed over you to see what shades suit you best—discussions about colour theory are finding their way out of the art class and into casual conversations. These days, you don’t have to be Michelangelo to know how to play with light and shade in making a silhouette appear visually intriguing. And as we enter winter, a period marked by perennial grey skies and cindering smog, it’s only appropriate that the most tasteful dressers amongst us choose to combat these depressing tones by embracing the colourful knitwear trend.

A considered antidote to combating the winter blues, vibrant shades of tomato red, royal purple and even raspberry pink are now being offered as supple and moorish parcels of comfort amid frigid temperatures and blistering winds. Given that knitwear is a prerequisite for the months on the horizon, it should come as no surprise to see it used as a vessel to induce serotonin by rendering it in mood-boosting hues. And after months of vivid colour dominating the trend cycle, donning a punchy jumper or cardigan feels like the most considered thing one can do.

Indeed, this year has been a considerable one for colour. After an anticlimactic reveal that Cloud Dancer, an airy and vanilla-toned white, would be Pantone’s Colour of the Year, the sartorial forces at play did the most to dispel any thought that this “whisper of tranquillity and peace” would actually come to fruition.

Right off the bat, cobalt blue came swinging as a formidable opponent, packing an electrifying punch as it appeared in Chanel’s 2026 Métiers d’art collection or on Jessie Buckley as she, dressed in Dior, accepted her Golden Globe. A favourite of Yves Klein and Phoebe Philo alike, the moody and sophisticated shade marked a strong demand for evocative colours that commanded attention.

Then came the rise of chartreuse. Unsavoury to some but nonetheless impactful, the hybrid shade served as an antidote to quiet luxury and months of sad beige supremacy. We could, of course, list every colour that rose to prominence this year, be it coral orange after the New York Knicks’ history-making championship win or the Daphne Blake-inspired plum tones spotted everywhere from Prada’s autumn/winter 2026 runway to around Zoë Kravitz’s neck, to Saint Laurent's gold reign. But that would deviate from our sole purpose: proving how robust the colourful knitwear trend actually is.

Still, as the temperatures continue to drop and new storms threaten to batten down the hatches, these bright and sumptuous pieces provide a quiet consolation. Without little effort, these sprightly knits inject an element of optimism on bleak days. They don’t call it the winter blues for nothing, right? And, of course, for those who don’t mind the feeling of embracing their inner Dutch Master, it's a chance to experiment across the colour spectrum in a way that feels intentional, deliberate and only just a little bit pretentious.

7 Knitwear Colours Trending for Winter 2026:

1. Red

2. Purple

3. Pink

4. Blue

5. Yellow

6. Orange

7. Green

Like clockwork, a new season signals a wardrobe refresh, and come fall, plaid arrives in droves by way of outerwear, sweaters, skirts, and more closet essentials. This year, though, the classic pattern is facing some competition. Enter dark, moody florals, which are currently stealing the spotlight. Sure, the romantic print is practically synonymous with spring and summer, but for fall, it feels decidedly fresh.

We have luxury designers to thank for pushing dark florals into the mainstream this season. On the fall/winter 2026 runways, the pattern was a recurring theme throughout the collections. Dries Van Noten doubled down on moody florals, splashing them on long jacquard coats and matching skirts, while Khaite debuted yellow, red, and white blooms against a black background on blazers, trousers, and dresses. According to these heavy hitters, florals can, in fact, be groundbreaking for fall.

When it comes to styling dark florals for fall, treat them as you would any other print. If your fashion sensibility skews minimalist, let the patterned piece do all the talking. Neutral, understated separates will do the trick. For just a hint of the motif, opt for an accessory, such as a pair of boots or a shoulder bag. For a bolder take, lean into print mixing, contrasting a dark floral piece with plaid or stripes.

Ahead, shop an edit of dark, romantic florals, from evening-ready dresses to going-out tops.

Another day, another standout Zara drop. The retailer is famous for of-the-moment new arrivals, so it's no surprise I'm back with another dedicated edit. I was doing my weekly browse, as one does, and while all of its new arrivals are strong, I noticed one category that's particularly noteworthy right now: the coats. Although we're still a few weeks out from the official start of winter, Zara is ahead of the curve with so many gorgeous options I simply had to share.

Zara's coat range touches on all the season's biggest trends. Think jacquard textures, faux-fur collars, velvet silhouettes, frog-closure details, and, of course, funnel necks galore. Its selection is so good right now I can virtually guarantee certain styles will be sold out before temperatures start to drop. To ensure you don't miss out, I've put together a list of the best options for winter 2026. Keep scrolling for 33 standout Zara coats that are sure to go quickly.

Nothing beats stepping outside on a crisp fall day to saunter beneath a symphony of foliage ruffling in the wind. The only thing that can dampen that experience? Not having the right staples for the season. For many, the first things that come to mind as "must-haves" for fall are outerwear, knitwear, and denim. But for truly stylish people, there's only one staple at the top of their shopping list [insert dramatic pause]: footwear. You'd be surprised how slouchy boots can breathe new life into your barrel jeans or how soft loafers can elevate a simple knit-and-skirt combination. Why stop there, though? If you really want to signal that you've got good style this fall, don't rely only on footwear silhouettes to show you're in the know. Pay attention to something even more specific: colors.

It might sound niche, but buying into one or two trending footwear colors for the season is the simplest way to freshen up your wardrobe without spending a fortune. Shoes in unexpected shades have surfaced in fall collections, social feeds, and the arrivals section—offering plenty of opportunities to experiment. Feeling colorful? You'll want to keep reading, as we've compiled a list of six "niche" shoe color trends for fall 2026 based on their presence in F/W 26 collections and fashion insiders' closets. Whether you're a devout maximalist or forever minimalist, one of these shades will become your secret to stepping out on the right foot this season.

1. Purple Reign

If a portion of creative directors’ color palettes for fall draw inspiration from the kitchen pantry, then the other portion pulls from the history books. That’s no more apparent than with the shade that’s reigned supreme across F/W 26 runway shows: royal purple. The color that was once only worn by certain members of the royal court was given a contemporary update in the collections of Mugler and Balenciaga through sculptural silhouettes. At Ferragamo, the shade's opulence was elevated through a sumptuous silk finish. And then there was Dior’s runway show: the royal Tuileries in Paris were transformed into a catwalk where models wore silk sandals embellished with rosettes that evoked Marie Antoinette's own garden. Each collection served as a reminder that history has a way of repeating itself, or at least, that’s the case with royal purple’s triumphant return.

2. Chocolate Pecan

With the change in weather, we may find ourselves craving the flavors—or, in this case, the colors—of the season. That phenomenon is no more apparent than with the trend we're dubbing "chocolate pecan." Yep, it's exactly what it sounds like: a fusion of dark and light brown tones that's reminiscent of roasted pecans dipped in chocolate at a fall festival. At Miu Miu, square-toe block heels came in a worn-in brown that looked as if chocolate had been licked off to reveal a nutmeg shade beneath. Similarly, at Burberry and Chloé, we saw different types of boots in softer shades of brown, signaling a subtle shift away from the ultra-dark brown that dominated in previous seasons. The prevalence of chocolate pecan proves that gravitating toward a palette that suits your taste buds will always be a stylish choice.

3. Extra Foam

Chocolate pecan isn't the only trend drawing inspiration from the sweet treats we associate with this time of year; at least, that’s what one could surmise from F/W 26 shows. It seems the color palettes were inspired by an unexpected source: extra foam. The frothy white cream you’d find on top of a cozy cup of hot cocoa? Welp, that delectable mix of ivory, off-white, and mascarpone now exists in the shoe section, too. But if you can’t quite digest the idea of wearing a light shade in the fall, consider how it’s been made more “edible” through versatile shapes—e.g., the kitten heels that appeared at Victoria Beckham, Co, and Edeline Lee. Similarly, Fforme offered a pair of high-vamp flats in an extra-foamy shade. Then came the brigade of off-white boots at Chanel, Toteme, and Celine. You may never be comfortable ordering extra foam with your pumpkin spice latte, but you just might come around to this color trend.

4. Apple Orchard

Move over, cherry red! There’s another trend that’s ripening this season: apple red. Nothing is more visually ubiquitous with fall than an apple orchard, so it makes sense that we’d see F/W 26 shows feature this fruit-inspired shade. We’ll admit that this trend doesn’t fall far from the tree, as variations of dark red resembling ripe cherries or Bordeaux grapes dominated previous seasons. But what makes it feel far sweeter is that the full orchard was on display in fall collections: from bright reds that looked as crisp as a Fuji to moody burgundies that looked as juicy as an Empire apple. Beyond shade variations, creative directors further showcased this color trend’s biodiversity through different silhouettes. For example, at Prada, embellished kitten heels came in a bright envy red. While at Elie Saab, high-vamp mules came in a rich shade that resembled a polished fruit. No matter the shape or shade, collections showed that you shouldn’t just eat your apples each day but wear them, too.

5. Forest Green

No need to reinvent the color wheel for your footwear choices this fall; simply turn to one tried-and-true classic: forest green. Okay, we'll admit earth tones aren't the most "niche" trend out there, but they're a great place to start if you're averse to adopting colors. Forest green suits those who find emotional comfort in the dark-and-moody verdant landscapes found in quintessential fall films—talking about you, chronic Twilight rewatchers. Jokes aside, what's helped forest green evolve from a timeless neutral to something trend-forward is how it's crept into every collection. From Louis Vuitton to Hermès to Marni to Carven, we saw lush variations of forest green used to give a seasonal touch to otherwise timeless shoe silhouettes. (Think over-the-knee boots, ruched loafers, or high-vamp pumps.) The result is a trend that lets you expand your fall color palette without leaving your comfort zone.

6. More Multitones

Whereas some creative directors chose to draw inspiration from the history books, others turned to their own house's rich history—Matthieu Blazy being one of them. The newly appointed creative director of Chanel referenced the atelier’s archives by showcasing fresh spins on the brand’s signature two-tone footwear design in the prefall 2026 collection. That trend has continued not only with subsequent Chanel shows but with other designers who have followed suit. From Ulla Johnson to Rabanne, countless fall shows featured footwear with contrasting cap toes, multitone straps, and even color-blocking details. The sheer number of multitone shoes on the runway this season begs the question, why would anyone settle for wearing one color when you can wear two—or even three—at a time? It's a permission slip to embrace more color this season that only requires you to buy a single pair of shoes.

After months in crinkly linen and breezy cotton, trying to adapt to an eternal heatwave, the temperature has finally dropped here in the UK. And the only thing I have on my mind is my jeans—more specifically, the slightly more polished denim trends that I’ll be adding into my winter capsule wardrobe to make it feel slightly fresher for 2026.

Easy to throw on, versatile and, most importantly, comfortable, jeans are the go-to staple I know I can rely on when I don’t know what to wear. And recently, I’ve spotted chic dressers in a trend that merges the ease of denim with a polished touch, making it perfect for a wide range of occasions. Enter the pintuck jeans trend.

Often also referred to as “front seam” jeans, pintuck denim features a vertical dart down the front of the legs, perfectly bridging the gap between casual straight-leg jeans and formal tailored trousers. Not only do they have a flattering, leg-lengthening effect that everyone, particularly petite dressers, will appreciate, but the tailored edge to this denim style makes it ideal for those more formal occasions. This is especially true if you opt for a pair in a darker wash such as indigo or black.

I can personally see myself styling a pair of pintuck jeans with a classic crew neck knit and loafers for the office, and a satin blouse and kitten heels for an evening out with friends. But this denim trend can also be dressed down with a simple long-sleeve tee and minimal trainers for more casual days. The styling possibilities are truly endless.

And whilst it feels very fresh for the new season, like the majority of jeans trends, there’s a timeless appeal to this style, meaning you’ll reach for them for many years to come.

So if you too are looking for a polished denim style to add to your winter capsule, keep scrolling to see and shop the best pintuck jeans to add to your wardrobe this season.

Choosing the best hairstyle or hair trend to suit your face is one thing, but finding one that pairs well with your glasses is an entirely different challenge. But I come bearing good news: no longer just a practical necessity, the most stylish people are now incorporating frames into their outfits as a sleek accessory. And with this comes a myriad of hair dos, all of which pair perfectly with the glasses of your choice.

What are these hairstyles, you may ask? Well, as someone who works in beauty, I decided to make use of my contact book of experts and reach out to a professional stylist for advice on the best hairstyles for glasses to take with you to your next salon visit (or try at home, of course), as well as to answer some burning questions I had about picking the perfect cut for your frames. Just keep scrolling...

Should I Wear My Glasses to My Hair Appointment?

“Absolutely. I’d always recommend bringing and wearing the glasses you use most often to your hair appointment, particularly if you wear them every day," says celebrity and editorial hair stylist Pete Burkill. "They affect how the hair sits around your temples and ears, and they can change the way a fringe or face-framing layers fall. Wearing them during the consultation allows your stylist to see how the haircut and frames work together in real life, rather than relying on guesswork. If you wear contact lenses occasionally but glasses most days, it’s especially important that the cut works with your glasses."

What Hairstyles Work Best With Glasses?

1. Curly/Afro Hair

Burkill says, "With curly and Afro-textured hair, I’d embrace the natural volume and texture rather than trying to work against it. A rounded shape, a layered curly cut or a beautifully shaped Afro can look incredible with glasses."

"The key is creating balance between the hair’s silhouette and the frames. If someone wears oversized or bold glasses, a well-defined shape through the curls can help the whole look feel intentional. For finer frames, there’s plenty of room to embrace more volume. The cut should always be tailored to the individual’s curl pattern, density and preferred styling routine."

Get the Look:

2. Long Hair

“With long hair, I love styles that create movement and frame the face without competing with the glasses. Soft layers, long face-framing pieces and a subtle curtain fringe can all work beautifully. Layers help prevent longer hair from feeling too heavy around the face, while adding softness around the frames," explains Burkill.

"A sleek, straight finish can also look fantastic with a bolder, more architectural pair of glasses," Burkill adds.

Get the Look:

3. Medium-Length Hair

Burkill states, “Medium-length hair is incredibly versatile with glasses. A shoulder-length cut with soft layers or a textured lob is a great option because it creates shape around the face without overwhelming it."

"I’d look at adding movement through the ends and around the cheekbones, particularly if the glasses have a strong frame," recommends Burkill. "For a more polished look, a blunt shoulder-length cut paired with fine, lightweight frames can look effortlessly chic."

Get the Look:

4. Bob-Length Hair

“A bob and glasses can be a brilliant combination because both bring structure to the face. A classic jaw-length bob, a French bob or a slightly textured, undone bob can all work well. The important thing is considering where the bob sits in relation to the frames. A cut that finishes around the jaw can highlight the cheekbones, while a softer, less structured bob can balance out thicker or more angular glasses," says Burkill.

"I’d always consider how the hair sits around the ears, too, so the overall shape feels comfortable and intentional," Burkill adds.

Get the Look:

5. Pixie-Length Hair

Burkill says, "Pixie cuts work particularly well with glasses because they leave the face open and allow the frames to become part of the overall look. A textured pixie with a little height through the crown can create lovely balance, especially with larger frames."

"Alternatively, a softer, side-swept pixie can complement rounder glasses and create a more delicate finish. I’d focus on keeping the cut tailored around the ears and temples so it sits comfortably with the arms of the glasses."

Get the Look:

6. Fringes/Bangs

“A fringe can look fantastic with glasses, but the length and weight are important considerations. Curtain bangs are a particularly versatile option because they open up around the eyes and blend into the rest of the haircut," says Burkhill.

"Wispy or textured fringes can also work beautifully, especially with smaller or lighter frames. If you prefer a full, blunt fringe, I’d pay attention to how it sits against the top of the glasses and make sure it doesn’t feel too heavy across the forehead. The aim is to create a frame around the eyes that complements, rather than competes with, the frames themselves," Burkill states.

Get the Look:

Does Hair Colour Affect How My Glasses Look?

"Definitely. Hair colour can change the way your glasses stand out against your face, so it’s worth considering the two together," says Burkill.

If you have warm, golden or copper tones in your hair, tortoiseshell, warm brown and gold frames can complement those tones beautifully.

Cooler blondes, ash browns and silver-toned hair can work particularly well with silver, charcoal or cooler-toned frames. That said, contrast can be just as effective as coordination.

Dark hair paired with light frames, for example, can create a striking look, while bold black frames can add definition to lighter hair.

There are no hard rules; it’s about deciding whether you want your glasses to blend harmoniously with your overall look or become a statement feature.

How Do I Stop My Hair From Puffing Out Behind My Glasses?

“If your hair tends to puff out around the arms of your glasses, it often comes down to a combination of the haircut, the natural texture of your hair and the way the frames sit," explains Burkill.

"I’d start by asking your stylist to check the shape and weight around the temples and ears, as removing a little bulk in the right place can make a real difference," he says. "Lightweight smoothing products can help manage frizz, while curls and waves may benefit from a suitable leave-in conditioner or styling cream."

"It’s also worth checking that the arms of your glasses fit comfortably and aren’t pushing the hair outward. With textured hair, I’d work with the natural pattern rather than trying to flatten it unnecessarily," Burkill adds.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m a classic dresser to the core, prioritising simple silhouettes, neutral hues and pared-back designs. But even a minimalist like me gets bored of wearing the same basics day after day.

5 European Fashion Trends I'm Adding to My Winter 2026 Capsule

WHERE: Oslo, Norway

WHAT: Fringe-Detailing

Style notes: A statement detail that somehow also manages to feel inherently sophisticated, fringe hemlines are the perfect addition to any minimalist's wardrobe this season, and I’ve been majorly inspired by the elegant fashion girls from Oslo. Bringing texture and movement to an otherwise basic winter outfit, it comes without the need for bold colours or busy patterns that feel a little too out there for pared-back dressers like me.

Shop the Trend:

WHERE: Paris, France

WHAT: Waisted Jackets

Style notes: Waisted silhouettes have been huge in the past few years, and the French girls have proven that they’re going nowhere for winter 2026. An instant outfit elevator, chic Parisiennes have proven that a jacket with a cinched-in waist is not only extremely flattering, but the shape provides a polished finish that will dress up any jeans, skirts, or tailored trousers this season. And the best part? The luxury and high-street picks I’ve rounded up below prove that this sophisticated outerwear style will look expensive regardless of the price point you choose to invest in.

Shop the Trend:

WHERE: London, England

WHAT: Violet Knitwear

Style notes: I’ve been spotting bright purple knits on my commute around London for a while now. A much bolder alternative to the darker neutrals I tend to reach for when the temperature drops, I’ll be wearing violet jumpers, cardigans, scarves, and gloves in place of the vibrant cherry reds I added to my wardrobe in 2025. This knitwear colour trend feels eye-catching enough to gain the acceptance of the more daring dressers around the city, but remains wearable enough for those with a more classic taste, like me.

Shop the Trend:

WHERE: Amsterdam, the Netherlands

WHAT: Animal-Print Faux Fur

Style notes: Faux fur and animal print are in no way new trends for winter, but pair them together as the Dutch fashion girls do, and you’ve got yourself a fresh detail to elevate your cold-weather looks. Whether it be leopard, zebra, or even the most recently trending deer print, faux fur in these patterns will act as a point of difference in an otherwise pared-back outfit. Not to mention, the faux fur will keep you cosy even on the chilliest of days.

Shop the Trend:

WHERE: Munich, Germany

WHAT: Check Prints

Style notes: If you’ve already started your winter shopping, you’ve likely noticed checks are everywhere at the moment, and the chicest dressers in Munich have fully embraced the trend. Whether it be preppy plaid or moody ‘dark academia’ tartan, checks are an elevated pattern in neutral hues that still feels wearable to a minimal dresser like me. And you best believe I’ll be using this print trend as an easy way to add interest to my winter capsule wardrobe.

While many people are scrambling to find last-minute Halloween costumes right now, I'm happily excluding myself from the festivities and focusing instead on securing my fall wardrobe. I've got bigger things to worry about than cobbling together an Elle Woods outfit or DIYing a pair of Victoria's Secret Angel wings—I have gaps in my real-life wardrobe that desperately need filling! Yes, I sound like the ultimate Halloween Scrooge, but I'm totally fine with that.

Right now, I'm excited to shop for leather jackets, jeans, and loafers, so obviously I'm obsessed with Katie Holmes's newest outfit. She wore the Mateo Bomber Jacket ($600) from Banana Republic's new collab with Zankov, along with Banana Republic High-Rise Barrel Jeans ($148). She styled them with a black bag and burgundy leather loafers that perfectly matched the color of her jacket. If you ask me, a pair of merlot-hued loafers screams fashion person, so they're a foolproof investment for 2027. The color always looks expensive no matter the actual price tag, and it's simultaneously trendy and timeless.

I've worked in the fashion industry for over six years, but sometimes I forget how quickly trends can come full circle. Take thigh-high, heeled boots, for example. Just a year ago, they might have felt dated, but in 2026, they're suddenly cool again—even when styled with a minidress. Case in point: Jennifer Lopez's recent outfit.

This week, after announcing the release of her new single, "Proof of Love," J.Lo shared photos on Instagram showcasing a stylish look. She wore a long-sleeve Valentino minidress with a cummerbund, pairing it with oversize sunglasses, a clutch, and thigh-high boots.

On Jennifer Lopez: Valentino dress and belt; Marina De Golle bag; vintage David Webb jewelry

J.Lo's outfit is a perfect example of how to make over-the-knee boots and a minidress feel modern and elevated. The key lies in the details. Choosing boots in a luxurious material, such as lambskin leather, creates an expensive look, while a pointed toe elongates the leg and adds a refined touch. Her neutral styling also plays a major role, with warm hues of gold, camel, and ivory coming together to create a polished effect.

If you needed proof that the once-perceived "dated" boot trend is back and worth styling with your fall and winter dresses in 2026, this is it. Keep scrolling to shop the chicest styles.

Everyone has their thing. Some people wear only neutrals, some wear their hair in a slicked-back bun, and some have been loyal to the same shade of nail polish for years. Then there's the fashion person who never strays from gold jewelry. Sure, a little mixed metal might make an appearance here and there, but gold always has to be involved. Luckily, these people are some of the easiest to shop for during the holiday season (or any gifting occasion) because half the work is already done. You don't have to guess what they'll like, and for the gold devotee, T by Tiffany is a very good place to start.

A Gold Signature With History

Inspired by an archival Tiffany & Co. bracelet from 1975, the T by Tiffany collection puts the house's famous T motif front and center. The T Wire Bracelet has clean, straight lines, while the Smile Pendant takes a softer approach with its curved silhouette. Both are crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, but each has its own personality. That's part of what makes the collection so appealing. There are so many ways to wear a piece of Tiffany & Co.'s design history.

A Little More Gold Never Hurts

For someone already committed to wearing gold every day, a new piece of jewelry should work with what they already wear. The Small Smile Pendant would look chic peeking out from an unbuttoned shirt or layered with existing jewelry, while the diamond Smile Mini Earrings bring a little sparkle to even the most casual outfit. And for someone whose wrist is never without a watch or a few gold bracelets, the T Wire Bracelet adds a more architectural element to the mix. There's no need for everything to match perfectly. In fact, that's half the fun of accessorizing.

The Secret to Getting the Gift Right

The easiest way to figure out which jewelry to get someone is to look at what they already wear. Are they wearing a necklace in practically every photo? The Small Smile Pendant is a strong contender, or choose the Mini version for someone who likes their jewelry extra delicate. If they've had the same earrings on for months, the diamond Smile Mini Earrings might be the perfect upgrade. And if they're rarely spotted without a bracelet, the T Wire Bracelet or diamond Smile Bracelet deserves a closer look. Whether it's a holiday present, a milestone birthday gift, or a little something to celebrate a promotion, the goal is to find a piece that feels like her. The fact that it comes from Tiffany & Co. is just a bonus.

If there's one thing I've learned from years of working in fashion, it's that the simplest wardrobe staples are often the hardest to get right. Take the humble white T-shirt, for example. On paper, it seems straightforward enough: a little cotton, a couple of sleeves, and a neckline. Yet finding one with the perfect proportions, a flattering fit, and the right amount of structure can feel like an impossible task. If you've ever found yourself wondering why some people can make a plain white tee and jeans look like a runway-worthy ensemble, the answer just might come down to the T-shirt itself.

Enter Flore Flore's Car Tee, the $135 wardrobe basic that's quietly amassed a cult following among fashion's most discerning dressers. The Amsterdam-based label has become something of an insider favorite, with its understated cotton essentials fitting seamlessly into the minimalist wardrobes we associate with the likes of Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Laura Harrier. Jenner and Harrier, in particular, have been spotted wearing iterations of the Car Tee in cherry red and navy blue, offering convincing evidence that sometimes the most compelling outfit starts with a T-shirt in any color, not just white.

Of course, spending $135 on something that looks remarkably similar to a T-shirt you could pick up at the thrift store might sound a little ridiculous. But as any fashion person will tell you, the difference between a good basic and a really good basic is often in the details.

What exactly makes this particular T-shirt so special? More importantly, is it actually worth the investment? I decided to find out.

My Flore Flore Car Tee Review

At first glance, the Car Tee is about as uncomplicated as clothing gets. There are no logos, embellishments, or trend-driven details. It's akin to The Row or one of the many elevated contemporary labels that are committed to a "stealth wealth" lifestyle while designing well-fitting pieces and curated aesthetics.

Unlike the boxy, oversize T-shirts that have dominated my wardrobe in recent years, the Car Tee has a close-fitting silhouette that gently follows the body's natural shape. Its round neckline is finished with a substantial binding that gives the shirt a more structured, intentional appearance, and cap sleeves offer a slightly cropped, more flattering alternative to the overly baggy sleeves of most white T-shirts. Then there's the length. While plenty of fitted tees fall firmly into cropped territory, the Car Tee offers a little more coverage.

The shirt isn't too heavy yet isn't too light—offering the perfect in-between that any undergarments won't peek through. Although most white T-shirts are prone to being slightly transparent, Flore Flore's thicker cotton fabric means a dark-colored bra won't show. Although I don't own the white version, I checked in with my friends who do, and they confirmed my suspicions.

Is the Flore Flore Car Tee worth it?

Let's be clear: In this economy, there's no denying that $135 is a splurge. If you're perfectly happy with your existing collection of cotton tees, there's certainly no need to replace them. But for anyone who has spent years searching for that elusive, perfectly proportioned T-shirt—the one that makes even your laziest outfit look intentional—the Car Tee makes a compelling case for investing.

Last week, our New York editors went out to a happy hour at The Mark Hotel's bar on the Upper East Side to celebrate the launch of our first-ever print issue for Who What Wear's 20th Anniversary. Editorial Director Lauren Eggertsen was in town from Los Angeles, and she walked in wearing a statement pair of taffeta pants—one of fall's biggest pant trends. We all started chatting about how they make any outfit instantly more fun, with brands like Chan Luu, Donni, and Reformation all selling their own versions in a variety of colors.

Associate features editor Ana Escalante and I both mentioned how we'd just come across an affordable option from Anthropologie: the Maeve Marnie Taffeta Tapered Pants. Then, today, Executive Shopping Director Bobby Schuessler sent me the exact same ones. (It seems everyone on our team is eyeing the $118 pair.) The pants come in eight colors—light blue, lime, camel, black, ivory, blue, chocolate, and an almost-sold-out pink—and are available in standard, tall, petite, and plus sizes.

Below, shop the taffeta pants along with more editor-favorite fall pieces from Anthropologie.

I'm a fashion editor who loves to receive compliments, and lately, I've noticed my most complimented outfits always include a J.Crew piece. Whether it's ballet flats, tailored denim, or an oversize sweater, the praise follows the label. As I prepare for winter layers, I thought I'd upgrade my wardrobe with a well-timed shopping spree. J.Crew just released plenty of chic new arrivals, from vintage-inspired roll-necks to designer-looking accessories.

During my shopping trip, I noted the J.Crew outfits I'd like to wear this winter. Spoiler: lots of chunky knits, barrel-leg pants, and affordable suede. Scroll to see which ones made my list.

5 Chic J.Crew Outfits for Winter 2026

1. Roll-Neck Sweater + Barrel Jeans

You can never go wrong with a J.Crew roll-neck. It's a classic, and this one's inspired by a vintage silhouette. Style it with jeans and a pop of red to turn heads.

2. Collared Sweater + Pleated Skirt

I can always count on J.Crew for subversive prep. This tipped-collar sweater and pleated plaid skirt with a suede bomber and pumps make for an effective contrast I can support.

3. Bomber Jacket + Corduroy Trousers

A bomber jacket, a button-down, and corduroy trousers create a low-effort, high-reward look. Be warned: Compliments are guaranteed.

4. Tweed Jacket + Calf-Hair Clutch

Evening jackets and tweed blazers are garnering extra attention. Perhaps it has something to do with the recent Dries Van Noten and Chanel collections. This cropped single-breasted jacket from J.Crew will look right at home in a fashion person's closet.

5. Long Barn Jacket + Fair Isle Sweater

A Fair Isle sweater is high up on my winter-wardrobe wish list. As evidenced in this everyday look, the chunky knit pairs perfectly with a plaid overcoat and barrel-leg jeans.

Of all the different skincare products on the market, a serum is undeniably one of the essentials. Unlike the other steps in your routine, serums pack a different kind of punch due to their potency. Luckily, you can find serums for a variety of skin concerns, which can be especially helpful if you have mature skin or simply want to take preventative measures.

"Generally speaking, collagen production begins to decline in your mid twenties by a rate of 1% a year, making this a good time to start incorporating anti-aging ingredients into your skincare routine," explains board-certified dermatologist May Hall, MD. "This can include ingredients that help with collagen production and products that help maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier."

To find out which, anti-aging serums actually live up to their promises of treating things like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and more, I spoke more with Hall and board-certified dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD, for their top picks. Keep scrolling for all the details.
