There’s no denying that Bella Hadid is the epitome of a fashion icon. Supermodels are essentially the original influencer: debuting fashion lines long before they’re made available to the public…fashioning each piece of clothing so that it looks so good, you’re convinced you need to purchase it immediately.
We saw it with the platform mini UGG phenomenon. One fine morning, Bella Hadid stepped out on the New York City streets and caused utter chaos. She had donned a pair of platform mini UGGs (soon-to-be-viral-and-sold-out) with an oversized leather jacket and micro shorts.
Suddenly, the internet was divided. After purchasing the mini platform boots for themselves, they realized they didn’t look as good as they do on Bella Hadid. Some even dubbed them “Horse Clogs” because the shoe made their feet look like hooves.
Quickly, the world realized a sobering fact: just because Bella Hadid wears it, doesn’t mean it will look fantastic on everyone.
Sigh. I know. I hit a nerve there. But don’t fret, dear reader! I actually have some good news here: just because Bella Hadid wears it, does mean it looks fantastic on everyone!
It’s about what works with your fashion sense and styling for your body type. Yes, those platform UGGs look smashing on Hadid, but they’re not my style so I won’t buy them. However, the leather jacket she wears with it…different story.
What I’ve noticed about Bella Hadid is that she pairs reasonably priced items with the overtly expensive high-fashion pieces…making her style easily replicable — or at the very least, adaptable. Much like Hailey Bieber, I’m sure Bella Hadid has hundreds and hundreds of basic tanks and tees.
If you’re like me and want to steal Bella Hadid’s looks for less money, stay tuned. We’re about to dive into how to get some of Bella’s best looks for less!
The Platform Uggs Look
Since we’ve spent so much time mulling over the UGGs moment, let’s recreate it. This outfit is great for fall walks in the park or running errands while hungover. It’s your ideal fit for when you simply pull a jacket on top of what you’re wearing around the house.
I know we aren’t all fans of the platform UGG, so, don’t stress. This look can be done with any UGG of your choosing. Remember, it’s about what you want to wear…not following Bella Hadid’s style to a T.
And since UGGs are all the rage always, I’m not going to find you a dupe. This may be the only time I recommend the real thing.
An Easy All Black Look
Again, what I love about Bella Hadid’s looks is that they’re achievable for everyone. This all black look is comfortable enough to wear all day — whether it’s out to dinner or just heading to your next salon appointment.
Bella pairs the black tube top with a matching midi skirt, black sunnies, and black boots. The only true pop of color is in her tote bag. If you want this look, here are some more manageable alternatives.
The Princess Diana
The look made popular by the People’s Princess is now a fall fashion staple. All you need is a pair of biker shorts and an oversized sweatshirt to make your dream come true. Bella opts for a monochromatic moment, and pairs it with a headband to tie the look together.
This is one of my favorites for everyday wear. Simply throw on a sweatshirt and run your many errands throughout the day…especially as the weather gets colder.
Elevated Street Style
This is actually one of my favorite Bella Hadid looks because it encapsulates her style perfectly. Clean, a little grunge, and a mix of business attire make the perfect Bella Hadid moment.
What’s makes this street style so achievable is her usage of just your average t-shirt. If you sift through your drawers I’m sure you’ll find a slightly oversized tee, or two. Use what you have at home to conjur this ultimate look for less.

With fall literally less than a week away (I know, I can’t believe it either), I’ve begun unboxing fall skincare and haircare products to transition my beauty routine for the cooler, dryer months. No matter the season, my hair and skin are chronically parched, and living in Los Angeles doesn’t help my efforts to find the best products for dry hair and skin. But after recently adding the coveted Gisou Hair Oil into my post-shower routine, I think I might have found the hair serum of my dreams.
Gisou Hair Oil Review
Despite having dry hair, my long strands are relatively healthy. I credit this to regular trims (a must if you want long locks), switching to semi-permanent hair dye, and minimal heat styling (I’ve used my Dyson Airwrap almost exclusively for five years). But, hair health aside, the dryness can often make my locks look dull, feel a bit straw-like, and result in a lot of frizz when I let my strands air dry. I’m not one to load my hair up with a ton of product but after adding the Gisou Hair Oil into my routine and treating it like my hair’s equivalent to a good, nourishing face serum—which I never skip—I realized that giving my ‘do a little extra oomph with this elixir is a total game changer.
The hair oil is formulated with Mirsalehi honey, which is a natural humectant (meaning, it attracts moisture) and rich in vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals that can improve hair hydration and make your strands look a lot more shiny. It also features a bee garden oils blend that consists of eight different oils, including sweet almond oil and coconut oil, for further nourishing powers. Plus, it has the added benefits of vitamin E for its antioxidant and UV protection perks—something I can definitely use more of in sunny LA.
From a visual standpoint, I haven’t seen a major change in my strands. It’s a bit glossier and results in a smoother blowout whenever I use my Dyson styler. However, the texture of my hair has completely changed since adding it into my routine. The deeply nourishing hair oil for dry hair has worked its magic to soften my thirsty strands, making them feel super silky post-blowout and between washes when the moisture in my hair usually evaporates (or, at least that is what it appears to do).
After weeks of testing, I can honestly say that this is worth adding to your haircare routine, regardless of your hair type. Albeit a deeply nourishing oil, it has a more lightweight texture, so it won’t weight your strands down. The naturally hydrating ingredients give your hair a nice moisture boost to soften your locks and give a slight shiny finish for healthier-looking strands.
Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil
Size: 1.7 ounces (full size), 0.7 ounces (mini size) Key Ingredients: Mirsalehi honey, bee garden oils, vitamin E Hair Type: All hair types Good For: Targeting dryness, dullness, frizz, and damaged strands
New mother Hailey Bieber has been the ultimate influencer for just about everyone on the planet. She’s dictated trends like chrome nails, glazed donut skin (thanks, rhode), and even hair color. And if Hailey Bieber uses Kosas concealer, so do we.
Not only does she make a product look easy to use, she’s also a supermodel who knows trends before the public does. Listening to Hailey Bieber expound about trends is the smart thing to do.
But one thing I am confident about is the fact that I cannot afford Hailey Bieber’s entire wardrobe. Yes, she may be the inspiration for our capsule closets and obsession with basics…she’s also a multi-millionaire. And I, sadly, am not.
That’s not going to stop me from aspiring to a supermodel-caliber closet on a regular salary. In fact, since Hailey celebrates the basics so much, it actually makes her style affordable to recreate. No one can tell if Hailey’s tee is Prada and mine is H&M…
If you’re going to emulate a celebrity’s style, it’s key to invest in pieces where quality makes a visible difference like leather jackets or dresses. But ultimately, we’re looking to shop smarter and save money.
Hailey Bieber has iconic outfits that we all can easily achieve, so let’s look into how to get her look for less!
Hailey’s All White Moment
Hailey is blessed. Even while pregnant with son, Jack Blues Bieber, she can wear regular-sized clothing. But what I especially like about this outfit is that it works for multiple occasions and looks terrific on all body types.
Here are some great options for a similar Hailey-inspired look:
And, of course, there’s the bag. A Birkin knockoff by YSL is awesome, but even then, still too pricey. Luckily enough, the market’s glutted with Birkin dupes that are more affordable.
An Easy Fall Trench Look
Honestly, this is such a fantastic look that’s easily put together with essential items already in your closet: a white tank, trousers, and trench coat. What Hailey does best is make basic look thrilling. And an easily achievable look.
Plus, a trench coat is a necessity when it comes to fall weather. It’s one of the most underrated outerwear pieces for the fashion lover. A trench coat and heels says corporate, it gives off an official vibe that I love.
If you want this ensemble, here are a few close-to-identical pieces:
A Staple Oversized Leather Jacket
Now that we’re suddenly transitioning into fall weather, we need to start thinking about cold weather pieces. If there’s one thing that is very Hailey Bieber, it’s an oversized leather jacket.
She’s constantly photographed with a big leather Balenciaga bomber jacket — upwards of $6,000. So while we can’t afford Hailey’s iconic leather jacket — that she wears with everything — we can replicate.
These are my favorite leather bombers that are inspired by Hailey:
A Sassy Fur Coat
If you’re partial to the mob wife aesthetic, this one’s for you. When Mrs. Bieber donned this YSL faux fur jacket with a pair of jeans, red pumps, and sunnies, we knew this would be a style inspo pic for many.
Nothing makes you feel sassier than a fur coat. When I wear one, I seriously feel like a runway model hiding secrets in my jacket. Drape it over a dress for added warmth this winter, with leather leggings, or even jeans like HB.
Here are some of my favorite oversized fur coats:
A Simple Black Dress
We all love a little black dress. But again, the weather is transitional right now. Great for date night, or dinner with your friends, or just a special occasion in general. I love this dress on Hailey because she lets her accessories do the talking.
Whether you choose to style it with simple jewelry and a chic up-do, or colorful heels and matching bag, with a simple black dress like Hailey’s Bottega Veneta dress you cannot go wrong.
Again, a $2,900 dress isn’t the ideal price tag, I’ve found a few similar looks for far less:
And A Fun Red Dress
Holiday Season calls for a red dress…I know it, you know it. So let’s get it out of the way early! Have one on deck so you don’t have to stress about it come December.
What amazing about this Hailey look is that she really commits to the all red. Red pumps, red lip, red strawberry earrings, and of course…the red dress.
This Ermanno Scervino Fall 2023 dress is, of course, far beyond our price range. But something like it is certainly achievable. Just look for a structured empire waist and tight bodice on your strapless dress.
Here are a few similar options if you want the Bieber look:
I can’t believe I’m saying this either: but it’s time to start shopping for your fall clothes. You’ve probably seen a few fall fashion-focused TikToks…and stores have even started rolling out Halloween candy.
So yes, we’re looking ahead, but for good reason. First, I’m all about getting ahead of the trends. It’s why people buy UGGs in the summer: you can nab all of the good sizes and colors before the latest UGGs are even a gleam in everyone else’s eye.
If you wait until the last minute, chances are that stores are already stocking their shelves for winter…and we don’t have time for that.
This fall’s biggest trend? Skorts. Everywhere I go, I see at least one person sporting a skort. And while I love a good skort, I truly wasn’t expecting it. You can also expect brown — especially orange tones — to be this year’s color of the season.
We’re moving towards menswear again, emphasizing blazers and plaid tweed trousers. The fashion world is partial to softer, more professional-looking clothing after a summer-long soiree of florals and prints.
Even more interesting is the return of the polka dot. Not my favorite trend resurfacing, but a trend nonetheless. Move over garden party florals, here come unironic polka dots! In all forms.
So, if you’re looking to start your shopping a little early but want to avoid scrolling through TikTok to find the answers…here are our fall fashion trends for 2024!
Neutrals
Emma Chamberlain via Instagram
While summer 2024 was all about bright colors and fun prints, fall is more focused on neutrals. Since we’re already losing our tans, it can be easy to feel washed out in vibrant pinks and oranges…which is exactly why we’re leaning towards tans and browns.
Whether it’s a top or bottom, basics are essential for a successful wardrobe. If you’ve already built your capsule closet thanks to Hailey Bieber’s advice, or you’re looking to stock up on your favorite tee, make sure you pack in the neutrals so you’ll always have an acceptable outfit. Looking for fun neutrals? Here are my picks:
Think oversized cable knits and sailor sweaters. There’s nothing that screams fall more than a sweater you’re basically swimming in. Even though it’s still summer through most of September (and the weather reflects this), I start building my sweater collection early.
This year, I’m loving the retro bell sleeve style to truly get the most comfort out of your sweater style. Look out for notch neck collars and rugby-style sweaters as well. I love a good chunky sweater, here are my faves:
As I mentioned earlier, this one’s a bit weird for me to bring up. Definitely not my favorite trend. In fact, it’s one I think we’ll regret. But I digress, to each their own.
Expect to see a plethora of polka dots on dresses, shirts, pants, skirts — even sweaters! — this year. To my eyes, they’re not flattering and a bit childish. And reminiscent of my kindergarten teacher or a nasty matriarchal nanny in movies. Regardless, some influencer will somehow convince everyone to wear polka dots soon enough, I fear. If I had to wear polka dots, I’d wear these:
With trends like Quiet Luxury and Old Money aesthetics continuing to surge — thanks to the likes of Sofia Richie — may I introduce the English prep school style? It’s exactly what you’d imagine: blazers, corduroy, tweed, ties, button-downs, equestrian style.
Think of Bella Hadid’s recent equestrian outfits or Sofia Richie’s preppy looks. The idea is to look polished, a tad collegiate, and super studious. Almost as if you have a library date, or you spend your weekends reading Jane Austen. My favorite British boarding school pieces are:
Another trend I’ve seen a lot is a dark, romantic vibe. Textures like lace will be popular, or darker floral patterns. Gobs of gothic inspiration, yet with hyper-feminine features that help the piece pop.
Lace bodysuits, appliqued dresses, and more will be popular this fall. You’ll see lots of sheer layering, some rich jewel tones like emerald and ruby, and a touch of velvet. The dark romance theme is akin to royalty: luxurious fabrics, intentional draping, and deep hues. If you want some sheer style this fall, here are easy options:
No, the article isn’t over…I’m talking about the return of the wrap. Whether it’s a wrap poncho, coat, dress, or scarf, the wrap is back. And I’m here for it!
There’s nothing more chic or sassy than draping a simply gorgeous scarf around your head and shoulders when the temperature drops. I’m also loving the poncho style this fall, expect to see many more of these to pop up in stores. Here are my picks:
Some things will never change. For this editor, it’s my reliance on a good pair of jeans to make an outfit. Especially in the winter, I’m always pulling out the same three or four pairs to build outfits around, whether it to be go out with friends or head over to the office. When my best friend asked me the other day about some ways she can spice up her jeans to make them feel extra trendy and special at the start of the year, I immediately knew I had to loop her in on these trends.
Jeans and denim trends may come and go, but sometimes, playing with and styling your existing pairs proves to be even more fulfilling than simply buying new jeans. Below, browse seven trends that are proving to be 2024’s heavy hitters, especially when it comes to wearing them with jeans. From cozy sweaters to stealth wealth–esque gloves, these can’t-miss items should be at the top of your wish list.

AFRM X Revolve Essentials Jennan Dress
Size Range: XXS – 3X Shipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
Black dresses are classics for a reason — they’re so versatile and, thanks to the neutral colorway, you can play around with accessories and footwear, depending on personal preference. This option is slightly sheer, turning up the heat for whatever you have planned, and if you’re on the shorter side, the straps are adjustable (a major perk for petites).

Cutouts are great for when you want to show off a little bit of skin. And while this fuschia midi dress has one perfectly placed front and center, the lace material gives the garment a sophisticated feel.

OW Collection Ella Shirt Dress
Size Range: XS – XL Shipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
If you’re looking for something slightly casual, go with a shirt dress. It’s still super elevated but not as fancy as, say, a strappy lace midi dress.

Amanda Uprichard x Revolve Leather Puzzle Dress
Size Range: XS – XL Shipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30

I online shop a lot—like, a lot, a lot—but one person’s only capable of scrolling so much, which is why I sometimes go on long hiatuses from certain retailers. It’s not because I don’t want to keep up with their every drop. I simply can’t, at least not while maintaining any sort of work-life balance. And the one that’s unfortunately fallen off my radar of late is Revolve, though, I can’t see it staying that way for long now that I’ve feasted on its current sale selection. My findings were too good for me not to come back for more.
Ahead, find 22 of the chicest items calling Revolve’s sale section home right now, from every editor I know’s favorite vintage-denim alternative to the cocktail dress your upcoming spring-wedding lineup is begging for. Whatever it is that you’re shopping for right now, the options below are guaranteed to either fit the bill or override your current wishlist. They’re that good—and that’s coming from someone who, I repeat, shops a lot.
We can all agree Jennifer Aniston has been serving Pinterest-worthy looks since the ’90s. Now in her 50s, Aniston has cemented her signature style as unfussy, chic, and thankfully for us, totally copy-able. Although I’m in my 20s, I find myself and my peers looking to Aniston’s paparazzi photos for fashion inspiration. Most recently, she’s been seen in some especially easy to recreate looks, hence the inspiration for this story. The stunning asymmetric Bottega Veneta midi dress she wore on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon paired with the strappy Saint Laurent heels is one ensemble I’d like to steal for myself. It’s basically the epitome of how to nail the little black dress look. In addition to press appearances, she has proven that her street style is attention-worthy as well. The Murder Mystery 2 actress recently wore an effortless white tee and jeans combo that made for the perfect casual daytime outfit. Ahead, I recreated some of her standout looks with accessible brands we all know and love.
I’ve always been a city girl. I was born in Kuala Lumpur, grew up in Houston, and upon moving to L.A., lived comfortably east of the 405 for years. But a California hazard they don’t warn you about is that you might meet a cute surfer who eventually lures you all the way west. After some cajoling, I gave in to my inner Pisces, packed up my gray Tabby, and moved us across town to the sun-dappled, salty-aired streets of Venice Beach.
It’s been six years since, and while I may not yet be a bona fide beach babe (I still prefer reading on the sand to roaring waves), it’s home. My hair is blonder, my mornings slower, and I love the neighborhood’s walkability and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Every time I catch another glorious pink sunset, it does feel a little like living in a fantasy.
If you’ve ever experienced L.A. traffic, you know how vast and sprawling the city is. Different zip codes mean different dress codes, and the attitude in Venice is very relaxed. Denim and comfy shoes reign supreme, and a knit is a must to combat the almost-always-present marine layer. Most of my bolder pieces have been relegated to the back of my closet, awaiting invites for martinis at Tower Bar, dancing at A Club Called Rhonda, and too much pasta at Little Dom’s. So while my highlights may not be low-maintenance, my approach to daily dressing is.
Keep reading for three of my tried-and-true outfits for your next trip to the beach.
As a single child, I know my mother more than anyone else on the planet and vice versa. Years of shopping for each other and shopping together made us seasoned professionals in each other’s sense of style. And while it’s safe to say we each have very different tastes, as proven by the years of changing-room bickering sessions, there are moments when our opinions on fashion converge. After all, I am my mother’s daughter.
It’s deeply important to understand that style isn’t rooted in youth. Yes, the fashion industry loves to put young 20-somethings on billboards, runways, and advertisements, but fashion is an art form that’s passed down from generation to generation. Before influencers, celebrities, and designers, there was Mom’s closet. She may not have appreciated my ripped jeans in high school, and I may have classified her boho blouses as cheugy, but as adults, we both agree that nothing beats a classic, budget-friendly, and quality-driven wardrobe. Well-made knits, quality footwear, elevated basics, and fitted pants are top of mind for me and my mom. But being the girly girls we are, we do enjoy a fun scarf or some sparkly earrings now and then. Below are 30 items under $150 that we both adore.
We don’t mind a lovely olive green.
A sleek black turtleneck is a need.
How posh is this merino wool half-zip?
Endless outfit potential with a glossy satin top.
Buttery soft leggings for an unbeatable price.
Goes perfectly with some elevated basics and wedge boots.
For going to work in style.
Pure silk for under $100 is a crazy-good deal.
These flare pants are effortlessly stylish.
Stay cozy with this relaxed-fit poncho.
You can never own enough scarves during winter.
Everlane won with this gorgeous down vest.
The asymmetric neckline is just *mwah*!
If you’re not a fan of bulky coats, try this lovely, lightweight fleece jacket.
Hope you have the sweetest dreams in this breathable cotton pajama set.
This shoe marries style with comfort. This polished shoe has orthopedic technology made to make your walks both fashionable and comfortable.
Stay dry with the utmost style.
The smartest suede gloves.
Weather a storm with these!
Ideal for layering.
The perfect dark-wash jeans.
I’m mesmerized by the purplish-blue color of this sweater.
In case my ensemble needs a little sparkle.
Love an A-line silhouette.
This pair def has a “cool college girl” vibe to it.
Behold, the trusty and comfy button-down.
I adore puff sleeves, as they add texture and drama to a look.
All fashion lovers, regardless of age, appreciate an adorable pair of ballet flats.
In this roller coaster year of ups and downs, I’ve sat on the news of buying and renovating my first home. The process has been eye-opening, exciting, alarminglyadult, and an exercise in gratitude (and patience) every day.
It’s also been a new, welcome creative outlet. I’ve loved picking out paint samples, tile, and sourcing furniture, and I’ve especially loved designing my closet from scratch. As someone who used to pray daily that her rotted-wood closet bar wouldn’t buckle under pressure (and relied heavily on rolling racks), I still can’t believe I have a walk-in! After installation, I’d find myself wandering in and out of the empty room, a giddy smile plastered on my face. It felt fresh and full of hope. I didn’t want to sully the space with anything that no longer brought me joy.
A new home means new beginnings, and I wanted to honor that with a well-curated wardrobe. I am deeply sentimental, so this proved to be harder than I thought it would, but I did it. I now live in a color-coded reality of tightly edited pieces (I know—who am I?) and you know what? It feels good.
Inspired to get a head start on spring cleaning? Read on for the pieces I bid adieu to.
As the year winds down and my screen time while on vacation goes up, I have to admit, the more I scroll through my favorite retailers, the more I’m tempted to buy another shiny thing. Of course, I’m talking about the somewhat irresistible “new arrivals” section from our editors’ tried-and-true brands like Nordstrom, H&M, and Mango.
Maybe your wardrobe needs a little bit of fine-tuning ahead of 2024 or you’re simply looking for a cute top to take the edge off. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. From $20 to over $1000, these items from every corner of the internet are some of the best new arrivals you have to see, period.
Man, I do love a wedding. I love the pomp and the circumstance, the happy tears, the gorgeous dresses, the melding of two families… I love it all! As an aging millennial and former bridesmaid, the past few years have been a flurry of RSVPs. This is to say my wedding experience is vast and, as someone who walked down the aisle last year, quite intimate.
Here’s the thing about that aforementioned melding of the families: One day, you and your dearly beloved will look at your calendars and realize that you both have relatives getting married sometime during that time warp between Thanksgiving and Christmas on two different continents—yikes. Even though we’re nuptial veterans, traveling this extensively so close to the holidays felt daunting.
In the spirit of true partnership, we decided to divide and conquer. My husband took on the task of navigating our travel itineraries (musts: Tim Tams, koalas, beachfront cocktails) while I began the mental gymnastics of packing for two very different climates and cultures ahead of the Punjabi-Australian and Jewish-Colombian celebrations.
As an avid RealHousewives fan, I’ve gotten used to seeing women in splashy outfits. Logo mania looms large in the Bravo universe, which makes it the perfect form of escapism. My own sartorial tastes are decidedly more sedate. While I’ve never shied away from color or texture, I grew up in a household where the saying “take one accessory off before leaving” is gospel, and while I believe rules were made to broken, you have to admit that restrained dressing is becoming more and more of an art form.
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock this year, the terms “quiet luxury” and “rich mom” dressing aren’t novel to you. But the French have been doing it for ages and doing it well. They know that dressing expensively doesn’t require draining your bank account, just discerning taste, smart investing, and pairing pieces well.
Read ahead to see how French women fake it (and by “it,” I mean money in their bank accounts).
In case you had any doubt, it turns out that Elsa Hosk is as good of a designer as she is a model. Her wildly chic and trend-forward line Helsa has become a major stand-out at Revolve and FWRD since its debut last fall, and it routinely flies out of stock when new pieces drop. Accordingly, Helsa is a regular topic of conversation among our editors on Slack.
The latest Helsa drop is appropriately coined “New York for the Holidays”, and it’s filled with elegant, festive pieces that are perfect for special occasions and nights out, or just winter. I scrolled through the collection and unfortunately, some of the pieces are already out of stock after debuting just a few days ago, but not to worry because I found a handful of in-stock items that are jaw-droppingly good. Keep scrolling to shop they before they too are gone.
There’s nothing I love more than throwing a chic statement coat over my black leggings and neutral turtleneck sweaters and calling it a day. When it’s the middle of winter and I have more motivation to stay inside than pull out a ‘fit, statement coats are my saving grace. Not only do they keep me warm when combined with the right base layers, but they make my outfits look 10 times more polished and coordinated without even trying.
This year, there are a few statement coat trends our editors can’t stop thinking about. From over-the-top furs to colorful leathers, there are hundreds of wow-factor coats and jackets that just hit different. Below, shop some of the best statement coats that’ll leave you feeling like the main character this season.
Social media influencer and plus-size fashion Model Remi Bader has launched a new collection for her inclusive-sized collaboration with Revolve. Remi x Revolve features an array of trend-forward, chic pieces that are perfect for this time of year. This drop marks her second collection for the trendy fashion behemoth. Like the first collection, this latest drop is available in sizes XXS-4X—making it one of the most diversely sized collections available to shop through Revolve.
As a fashion editor and plus-size fashion girl, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on these pieces to see how they hold up IRL. Keep scrolling to read my thoughts on a festive set from the Remi x Revolve collab, and shop my other favorite styles from Remi x Revolve as well.
If there is one thing I take pride in, it’s being able to dig through a sale section and find super special pieces marked down. Revolve is one of those sites I often go to when I’m in the mood to hunt for something new to add to my closet and with the holidays around the corner I thought what better time than now to roll up my sleeves and scouring their sale section for hidden gems. While sale shopping can take some patience, it’s so worth it when you find something really good and really marked down. On my deep dive I wanted to focus on great dresses, jeans to wear for years to come, and shoes to add to my growing collection.

As an editor, I get to spend my days on all of my favorite retailers’ sites, digging for the best buys for you to add to your wardrobe (and, honestly, mine too). With the holiday season approaching, I have been scrolling now more than ever. With gifts to buy for our friends and family and holiday parties and New Year’s Eve plans starting to pop up, it’s time to buckle down and do some serious shopping. When I want to place a big order from multiple brands I love, Revolve is always top of my list. The retailer has everything I’m looking for, from sultry knee-high boots from Larroude to the perfect Uggs to give my sister to Free People jackets to pack on my upcoming winter travels. If you need it, Revolve has it. At the top of my shopping list are 30 Revolve items that make great gifts and that you’ll want to keep for yourself.

If you’ve recently contemplated revamping your wardrobe, now is the time to do it. Holiday deals are already rolling out, and among them is Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 sale. Right now, there are major discounts on dresses, denim, accessories, and more, and even a preliminary scroll has us lusting after celebrity-worthy items that will no doubt improve our everyday outfits.
Just like in the past, Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 sale will only get better with time. While we’re currently stocking up on holiday dresses, cozy sweaters, statement heels, and even loungewear, it’s pretty much confirmed we’ll be back for round two or three, even thinking ahead to the warmer weather and summer months (we’re already eyeing a few swimsuits). We’re ready to take advantage of those holiday prices, especially since items such as GRLFRND jeans and Norma Kamali dresses are included in this mix.
Revolve Black Friday 2023:
Revolve‘s Black Friday sale includes dresses, denim, knitwear, accessories, and even beauty products, and the best part is that you won’t have to wait until Nov. 24 to take advantage. Discounts are available to shop now, in early November — and stuff is already selling out.
What to Expect:
Just like in 2022, Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 sale will continue throughout the month, with new items being added periodically. While there are already major discounts available on the site, with markdowns up to 70% off, it can be assumed that Revolve’s Black Friday deals will only get better as we approach Thanksgiving. Based on last year’s sale, there may be a Cyber Monday sale to shop as well.
Early Black Friday Revolve Deals 2023:
Brands such as Levi’s, Lovers and Friends, Free People, and NBD are included in Revolve’s Early Black Friday sale for 2023. Plenty of prices are in the double digits and some hot-ticket items are already selling out — so you’ll want to grab your size while you can!
The Internet is constantly debating which jeans trend to buy now, but if your personal style (which is most important!) calls for a pair that’s not too snug yet not too loose, this sleek, light-wash option should be added to cart.
