Valentine’s Day — and perhaps more exciting for some: Galentine’s gatherings — are just around the corner, and one-stop-shop Urban Outfitters is here to help us celebrate. The Gen Z and Millennial-beloved retailer has teamed up with romantic brand For Love & Lemons on a V-Day-coded collection that’s giving us heart eyes.
Available exclusively at Urban Outfitters, the 35-piece collection spans apparel and beauty for the ultimate lovey-dovey season looks, along with home décor for parties with your besties. The coquette-inspired collaboration ranges from just $14 (for small accessories) to $498 (for more luxe styles). Think: everything from feminine slip dresses and dreamy barrettes to whimsical tapered candles.
True, the market is saturated with buzzy collaborations — like Béis x Rare Beauty and Madewell x Alexa Chung — that quickly sell out on the strength of their designs and celebrity founders. But now there’s an entirely new brand built from two powerhouses that has both captured our attention and promised several collections to come. NikeSkims, which launched in September 2025, is the brainchild of a beloved activewear brand (Nike, obviously) and lifestyle juggernaut (Skims, founded by the one and only Kim Kardashian).
“Merging Nike’s performance innovation with Skims’ obsession with fit and form, the collection delivers sculpting, versatile pieces that move with her — studio to street, low-impact to high-performance — while unlocking endless possibilities for layering, styling, and self-expression,” a press release notes.
The brand’s second drop recently launched on both retailers’ sites, featuring 65 styles across leggings, workout tops, sports bras, and more apparel in sizes XXS through 4X, along with accessories like socks and training gloves. Refinery29 editors were excited to test out the brand’s new styles, which include a Shine colorblocked capsule, mesh-enhanced pieces in the Airy line, Woven Nylon winter layers, and the Matte core collection with Nike Dri-FIT technology — particularly so we could know firsthand if round two of the elevated activewear brand is worth the hype.
“We’ve been on a journey together, me and Madewell,” Chung tells Refinery29. “I’ve always made an effort to make things super personal, but this is definitely the most personal collection that we’ve collaborated on. It’s very vintage inspired and it’s also quite musically led, so it’s really specific to my tastes. I am thrilled with it.”
From tried-and-true winter styles like oversized sweaters, crochet scarves, lacy slip dresses, and herringbone dress coats, to more unexpected styles like football jerseys, white jeans, and “We’re Witches Bitches” graphic tees, the collaboration perfectly reflects Chung’s “eclectic, specific, and cool” aesthetic.
The nostalgic and romantic 31-piece collection also spans distressed Madewell jeans and leather skirts and jackets, as well as giftable accessories like crew socks, hooded scarves, and floral brooches. Chung specifically recommends gifting one of the statement belts for the holidays. “I love this belt because it can cinch your waist over a dress, slung low with baggy jeans, or wear it over loads of coats. I love the idea of jewelry over outerwear, so I’d probably get someone one of the belts.”
Calling all fashion lovers because the nineties… and seventies… and sixties called, and they want to be back inside your closets. Luckily, New York-based fashion designer Anna Sui was tapped by Old Navy for its first-ever designer collaboration — fronted by Y2K-coded singer-songwriter PinkPantheress.
“Anna really understands who our customer is, what she wants, how she lives, and we knew this was an amazing moment to bring that,” Zac Posen, creative director of Gap Inc. and chief creative officer of Old Navy, tells Refinery29. “Anna is a design and style icon, and I thought to bring that to another nineties icon, Old Navy, made perfect sense to launch this.”
Known for “her whimsy, her magic, her cool, and her rock ‘n’ roll energy,” in the words of Posen, Sui’s Almost FamousPenny Lane-meets-witchy Stevie Nicks aesthetic is on full display with this “Bohemian collection.” Think: faux fur Afghan coats (aka Penny Lane coats), lace cardigans, floral dusters, and satin slip skirts (one of Sui’s favorite styles),
But we’re not just swooning over the styles… we’re also thrilled about the prices. “There’s a lot of Anna Sui DNA incorporated into this collection, but made with the expertise of Old Navy, and into very accessible, affordable pieces,” Sui tells Refinery29 about the collection, which ranges between a $10 floral headscarf and $120 vegan suede coat.
The classic utilitarian aesthetics and functional features get a playful Target spin à la vibrant colorways, playful sheep graphics, printed reversible styles, and even a campaign shot in New York to show how Woolrich’s designs can translate into “modern urban style.” So whether you break up your buffalo check “Pennsylvania tuxedo” with a graphic tee, cargo pants, or quilted skirt, you’ll look and feel confident taking on camping sites or bustling crowds.
I’ve never been much of a festival girlie. It’s not because I don’t love live music (I do); Between big crowds (I’m barely 5’2 and main stage GA is not the most short-girl-friendly situation), prolonged time in the sun, and expensive food and drinks (in this economy?!), I always resolved to a life of catching the action on social media from the safety of my couch. However, when T-Mobile invited me to experience Austin City Limits the magenta way, I jumped at the chance. It felt like kismet: I’ve been a T-Mobile girlie for years, and as a newly-minted Texan (I moved to Dallas during the summer), what could be more fun that getting to channel my inner cowgirl at the state’s biggest music festival?
Known for her feminine aesthetic via pastels, ruffles, and bows, Liang is bringing her style to Gap via a trench coat with an oversized bow, a Mary Jane ballet flat-printed sweater, and a denim baseball cap with “star” written in Gap’s logo font. You’ll also find Gap essentials, like fleece hoodies and wide-leg jeans with the Liang treatment (AKA bow stitching and the designer’s first name). And don’t forget about the children (not just your inner child) — there will be online-exclusive baby and toddler styles, like a onesie, sweatsuit, and spotted fur jacket (which matches the womenswear style lower down).
The brand’s smooth, plush, and heavyweight Scuba fabric is already wildly popular, so we expect the same from its newest iteration: Scuba Waffle. As a departure, this new fabrication is textured on the outside (while retaining its soft fleece interior) and is overall more lightweight. Designed for casual use — like lounging around the house, breezy fall walks, and running errands — the matching sets, like funnel-neck half-zip sweatshirts and high-rise shorts are a no-brainer.
Akers pushes your classic stripe way beyond basic: this fall, they’re stacked and layered for impact. Whether you’re mixing a rugby with a solid piece, or playing with two different stripes, the approach is straightforward but lands with a punch. For this look, she paired a Barrow rugby sweatshirt over a Marimekko button-down, added socks that echo the pattern, and finished with glossy Zara loafers. The magic is in the mashup — wide bands versus skinny stripes, color colliding with neutrals, sportswear mixed with tailoring.
If you’re already eyeing the early Labor Day sales popping up, there’s another big one to add to your list: Coach Outlet. The reader-favorite retailer already sells high-quality designs at competitive prices, but it’s really going all out for the long weekend shopping extravaganza by offering an extra 20% off select styles (automatically applied in cart) during its End-of-Summer Sale.
You’ll find slashed prices on end-of-season styles including handbags and shoes. From versatile crossbodies and spacious shoulder bags to sleek slides and chunky wedges, there are plenty of late-summer and early-fall pieces to select from for as low as $60. All you have to do is cart them up before they sell out! (I’ll personally be buying this logo-covered wedge immediately.)
So if you’re in the back-to-school spirit and want to freshen up your fall wardrobe, check out Coach Outlet’s sale section — and our favorite styles below — for discounted finds.
After a buzzy designer collaboration with Magda Butrym and a recent capsule wardrobe with model Mia Regan, H&M has announced another exciting partnership for fall. Taking a coveted spot on the retailer’s guest designer roster is Mexican designer Lorena Saravia and her namesake label.
Saravia launched her brand in 2010, and while she may not be a household name to the average H&M shopper, her distinct designs have earned her recognition — including a spot on Forbes Mexico’s 2025 list of the top 100 powerful women in the country.
“Lorena Saravia has created an original vision of Mexican fashion, honoring the culture through collaboration with local artisans, while crafting a highly covetable, modern wardrobe defined by a bold, feminine spirit,” according to an H&M press release. The collaboration includes artisan-crafted, Western-inspired pieces spanning outerwear, matching sets, and even cowboy boots, all channeling a signature masculine-meets-feminine style.
“I come from a large, predominantly female family where each generation strives to empower the next,” Saravia said in the press release. “I see women as multidimensional — they are career-driven, powerful, and possess a kind of magic and an extraordinary strength. My hope is that every woman who wears my designs feels inspired and empowered.”
Copenhagen Fashion Week opened with a dinner in the Nikolaj Art Gallery — a former church dating back to the 13th century. This season, it played host not only to the opening dinner but also to several shows, panels, and brand activations, including one from Instax. That first night in the church set the tone for the week in more ways than one. The main course was pasta made from leftover bread — a nod to the council’s commitment to sustainability, carrying a deeper symbol of the communal act of breaking bread. That sense of togetherness continued through the shows and the showgoers, who brought an energy that was impossible to miss.
Each show drew its own eager crowd. At Sunflower, held in the courtyard of their offices, a burned-out car sat on a square platform that models weaved around. Outside, the audience pressed in so tightly it was nearly impossible to see the clothes — which, in theory, defeats the purpose of a fashion show. But here, the draw was as much about soaking in the atmosphere as it was about spotting a fetching fireman jacket or sharply tailored, strong-shoulder suit. At Marimekko, which was staged outdoors with only a thin rope marking the perimeter, the crowd was equally lively — phones out, and ready to catch every moment.
Copenhagen as a fashion week can feel like the odd child out. Landing about four weeks before the marathon that is Fashion Month, which kicks off on September 11 with NYFW, it arrives a little too early to define overarching themes. A few emerged, though whether they carry through to the rest of the season remains to be seen.
For me, the word trend doesn’t quite sum up the week. Yes, there were recurring details — like the shoe of the summer, flip-flops — spotted at CMMN SWDN, Deadwood, and most notably Opera Sport, which sent out not only regular Havaianas but also 3D-printed versions that looked like they had been plucked from another dimension.
More broadly, the week felt defined by brands leaning into what they do best. Cecilie Bahnsen celebrated her 10-year anniversary with a show in an airplane hangar, where models drifted down the runway in white, cloud-like dresses as if they, too, were about to take flight. Nicklas Skovgaard continued his run of editorial, ‘80s-tinged silhouettes that struck the perfect balance between theatrical and wearable. These were pieces you wanted to own — not because they aligned with a trend, but because they looked irresistibly cool. Think an airy, voluminous Cecilie Bahnsen number, a lipstick-red Skall coat, or Sunflower’s fireman jacket.
Again, overarching trends weren’t exactly easy to pinpoint. Though a few major themes felt substantial and may gain momentum as we move through the rest of Fashion Month. Among the standouts: Pajamas styled for day, chemise-inspired dresses that go far beyond countryside frolics, and perhaps most exciting, a modern reimagining of ‘80s elements that felt decidedly innovative.
But the shoppable moments weren’t confined to the runway. Outside the shows, the street style was just as much a feast for the eyes. Much has been written about the Scandi girl aesthetic and the ability to look both laid-back and effervescent, which Copenhagen proved yet again. Styling touches like a pop of orange to brighten a look or unexpected finishes, like with a skull cap, felt instantly appealing and attainable.
From the runway to the streets, I left the week feeling inspired — and admittedly, with a case of the shoppies. Ahead, my breakdown of the top fashion takeaways, along with an edit worth adding to your cart to channel the best of Copenhagen.
On The Runway & Streets: Flip-flops
The shoe of the summer isn’t going anywhere. On the runway, flip-flops brought ease to elevated looks. On the streets, they lent a nonchalance to showgoers’ outfits — your most effortless finish with slip dresses, linen pants, and beyond.
On the Streets: Skull Caps
What balaclavas and bonnets were to winter, skull caps are to spring and summer. This compact accessory made a major impact, appearing daily at CPHFW and giving looks a distinctive finishing touch.
On the Runways: Pastoral Dresses
Designers leaned into loose, chemise-style dresses that evoked a European countryside sensibility (cue the daydream of wandering through a field of lilacs). Less TikTok milkmaid, more vintage cotton nightgown you’d stumble upon in a vintage shop — delicate, nostalgic, and surprisingly wearable.
On the Runways: Cotton Poplin PJs
Designers gave pajama sets daytime credibility by pairing them with bomber jackets and structured outerwear for a street-ready edge. The key to pulling it off? Embracing the art of the matching set or coordinating cotton poplins, then finishing with sporty trainers or sleek loafers to ground the vibe and keep it from feeling too precious.
On the Runways: ’80s-Influenced Designs
The ‘70s boho influence is giving way to the excesses of the ‘80s. Bold, sometimes clashing prints, electric colors, and sculptural shoulder pads all appeared on the runways — reworked into fresh, wearable takes that made the decade’s more over-the-top elements feel exciting again.
On the Streets: Polka Dots
The playful pattern that resurfaces season after season made its way onto the streets of Copenhagen, where showgoers embraced it for an added dose of flair. From statement dresses to playful accessories, polka dots proved they’re still a favorite for anyone looking to punch up an outfit.
On the Runways: Fireman Jacket
At first glance, this outerwear shape recalls barn-style jackets we’ve seen in recent seasons. But it’s the signature metal clasp closures that give the fireman jacket its distinctive, namesake appeal. Prepare for plenty of iterations to start popping up in new arrivals sections.
On the Street: Pops of Orange
For a few seasons, pops of red have been the go-to accent for injecting drama into an outfit. This time, orange took center stage. Whether as a small detail — like a shoe to brighten a neutral look, or a blouse to invigorate an entire ensemble — this color trend added energy and vibrance to the week’s street style.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
Although striking in appearance, the collection was overshadowed by an unprecedented global health event, and any hopes that the trend would take off fell flat. A full five years later, however, five-toe shoes have rather successfully infiltrated the sneaker space, piggybacking off the success of Maison Margiela’s iconic Tabis. Labels like Nike and Coperni released their own iterations, drip-feeding consumers with toe-forward shoe styles until the digits of fashion’s elite were under a full-scale siege. Now, interest in Vibram FiveFingers is the highest it’s ever been. According to Lyst, the freaky shoes saw an unprecedented 110% spike in sales between April and June of 2025, securing them a leading role on summer mood boards.
Back-to-school season is nigh, but nothing brightens the end of the summer like a major discount from one of our favorite brands, especially when said brandonly occasionally holds sales. We’re of course talking about Reformation — our go-to destination for modern, sustainably-sourced styles, top-quality denim, enviable wedding guest looks, linen basics, trendy plus-sized pieces, and more. (And we’re not alone — Ref has an impressive celebrity fanbase. Most recently, we’ve seen Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Zendaya, and Nicola Coughlan donning the brand.)
Many of us know this experience too well: we stand up from a long dinner or a movie and immediate fear strikes as we question if we’ve leaked through our pants. We ask our friends, “Am I good?” to discreetly check before (we hope) they assure us, “You’re good.” Well, now, Knix — the popular intimates brand beloved for its leakproof underwear — is hoping to put an end to the discomfort, panic, and shame around periods with its new “You’re Good” campaign starring actor and advocate Kristen Bell.
“I discovered Knix probably about 10 years ago and was shocked at how comfortable and how discreet they were,” Bell exclusively tells Refinery29. “I do not like the bulk of a pad. I do not like the stress of a tampon. [Knix] checked every box that I needed. It was completely reliable, even on heavier days. And I was proud of myself for reducing my waste and not using disposable period products.”
Since Knix was founded in 2013, the brand has sold over 15 million pairs of its leakproof underwear, according to a press release, with customers generally buying more than five pairs at a time.
The underwear comes in a range of absorbency levels for every phase of your period and in several cuts. Bell shares that she likes the bikini and French-cut styles, but also opts for the boxer briefs overnight, even when she doesn’t have her period.
Bell says she’s never been embarrassed to talk about periods or menstrual hygiene, especially around her friends and daughters. “I just personally do not think this subject is any more taboo than any other subject in the world. And I don’t think it does anything good for a woman’s mind to feel like she has to keep this experience she has once a month a secret from everybody,” she explains, adding: “I hope when people look up at a billboard and see someone modeling period underwear in public in broad daylight, it reminds them it does not have to be taboo.”
Let’s get one thing clear: Nordstrom Rack already offers some of the best fashion deals on the internet. But the clearance section? Phew! It’s next-level. We’re talking up to 92% off wardrobe MVPs from reader-favorite brands like Free People, Reformation, Madewell, Nike, Adidas, Good American, Ganni, Mango, and more.
It’s not just the fashion world that’s obsessed. Pop culture is riding hard for all things medieval lately, too. Just take a look at the 2024 VMAs, where one pop megastar (ahem, Taylor Swift) donned one of Dior’s plaid, corseted high-low gowns, complete with lace-up leather arm braces and thigh-high boots, whilst another (Chappell Roan) dedicated her entire night to an array of medieval looks. Starting with a sheer, flowy Y/Project gown, Roan accessorised with a 300-year-old velvet robe, a massive crucifix pendant, dagger-like nails, fingerless chainmail gloves, gauntlet-style cuffs, and an actual sword. And, just to complete the fantasy, she was accompanied by an actual medieval-style bodyguard and a 600-year-old rug to walk on. (Because of course, why not? Chappell Roan doesn’t do anything by halves when it comes to fashion.)
If your FYP hasn’t been inundated with Skims Multi-Way Bra try-on videos yet, it’s only a matter of time. There are plenty of reasons for it to go viral, as a lot of products from Kim Kardashian’s brand tend to: Designed to be worn a whopping 30 ways, this convertible bra is meant to fit under every possible neckline (think: halter, one-shoulder, strapless, low-back, and more). If you subscribe to cost-per-wear math (or are trying to justify your shopping habits), at $58 a pop, that’s less than $2 per bra. But does it work? Refinery 29 editors set to find out.
But first, here’s the lowdown on the style: The lightly lined underwire style comes with four fully removable shoulder and back straps, plus an extender strap (for low-back styles). Meanwhile, the interior cups and wings feature silicone dots to help grip onto the skin and stay in place for trickier styles like strapless and open-back. Available in six of Skims’ signature neutral colors, the bra comes in cup sizes A through G.
After four editors tried the Skims Multi-Way Bra on, we agreed on one thing: With a lack of virtual try-on videos from the brand or a physical instruction manual in the package, this piece is a bit of a padded puzzle. We weren’t exactly sure how some of the styles were meant to be worn, or which straps were needed for each neckline. So we took this versatile bra on as a styling challenge to conquer. Ahead, read on for our reviews of the latest Skims bra.
Throughout my life, I’ve had to have a lot of my clothes altered because my body shape was different from the standard patterns other brands use to design their clothes. The biggest issue I’ve had with clothes, specifically because I have Lipedema, is with the waist-to-hip ratio, as well as with my leg circumference being larger than the size that would fit my hips and waist. Folks with Lipedema typically don’t have the same tissue build-up on the waist, causing a very significant waist-to-hip ratio. This often makes clothing shopping very difficult, and, in many cases, causes us to size out of clothing lines altogether. With Jordan x US, we’re serving as many people as we can with multi-functional styles that accommodate as many body shapes and sizes as possible. When designing this collection, we decided to have all of the pieces have a drawstring at the waist, allowing folks to size up to have the leg and hips of the pieces fit looser, but not fall down or necessitate tailoring.
The holidays have come early, because Rihanna has gifted us with her and her family’s presence in Savage x Fenty’s new campaign. The singer rarely puts her children, RZA and Riot, in the spotlight, but when she does, they never fail to shine bright … well, you know the rest! Modeling the brand’s first-ever family onesies for its new holiday collection, the trio look cute and cozy.
In a new Instagram post featuring her cuddling family, Rihanna captioned it: “Yea I know! We are officially one of those families that match for the holidays.”
The new iterations of the bestselling Forever Savage Hooded Onesie are available in several festive prints — like the Holly Daze Print pictured above — as well as several size ranges — from adult to baby — to help dress the whole family for the holidays. And Savage x Fenty rewards members can shop them today.
‘Tis the season for holiday gifting, so Savage X Fenty’s full holiday collection will be released on November 1. In addition to the onesies, you can expect to find curated lounge sets, new flannel and satin pajama styles, and fluffy slippers that you can cart up and box up for your friends, family, or yourself!
The collection’s pieces will range between $12.95 and $79.95. So if you’ve been searching for under-$100 holiday gifts, this is your chance to shop for everyone on your list in one place.
