Life can often feel like a series of endless decisions. On any given morning, you might find yourself staring at your wardrobe, frozen by the breadth of decisions needed to get dressed. You’re trying to decide which of your tops are appropriate for the office, then mentally pairing them with various pants, shoes, and jackets… Until it gets too late to keep deliberating. Later that evening you’re browsing shopping sites — because you’ve decided you now need a new transitional jacket — and you’re inundated with sponsored ads and thousands of options with various panic-inducing price tags. Now you’re questioning whether you need a new jacket at all. Your eco-anxiety chimes in, and suddenly your decision is playing a primary role in the climate crisis. So you decide your wardrobe is already filled with a million things you don’t wear anyway, close the browser and repeat.

While I spent years doing competitive cheerleading, following high school I never considered myself a “fitness girl.” Working out became a chore. As such, shopping for workout clothes that I was only going to begrudgingly throw on to sweat in for an hour seemed like a misuse of money. But then, while tending to an injury and amid a breakup, I fell in love with pilates, the first workout that helped me understand the mind-muscle connection and sparked positive mental results. Working out was no longer a drag but self-care, an escape from reality, and a bit of a party all in one. Slowly, the ritual of getting dressed for a workout became more important, too. I sought out new fitness brands, tested the efficiency of trend-driven silhouettes, and figured out how to accessorize a look in a way that wouldn’t get in the way of class.
Gift giving is rarely easy. Anyone who’s gotten an awkward, “Err thanks…” post-exchange can attest to that. Sure, if you get the wrong present for your mom, per say, or your best friend, you’re unlikely to get anything more than a raised eyebrow. Getting a bad gift for your S.O., on the other hand? Probably not the best way to demonstrate your affection. So, on today’s agenda, we’ve got a gift guide for your S.O. that is sure to win: lingerie.
While on the surface, gray may seem like a complicated color to wear — it’s not quite neutral, it’s too dull to provide a pop — designers are fully embracing it this year. Take, for example, the Tibi spring/summer 2024 lineup, which included skirt suits, shirt dresses, socks, and ballet flats in various shades of the gray skies. Meanwhile, Acne Studios opted for charcoal hues on long-sleeved dresses with voluminous skirts and athleisure-like sets. Altuzarra’s spring/summer 2024 collection also featured a long gray coat, styled with pastel tones and bright green shoes.
A couple weeks ago I was sifting through my drawers, looking for a full gym top. Not a crop top, not a lone sports bra, and not a flimsy pair of sleeves that cuts off at the literal shoulders (i.e. clothes I’ve previously worn to the gym without batting an eye). But after several months away from working out, and growing through grief and mental illness, I have found a steady routine again. What I haven’t found is my old desire to wear my tightest clothes possible to the gym. And, consequentially, the right gym top.
Red is here to stay for 2024, and this mesh set from Wray NYC (that lands on the site later this week) is a great way to add the color trend to your wardrobe. This ethically made, size-inclusive label has become my favorite in the last few years thanks to its bold styles. Available in XXS to 6XL, the separates are size-graded correctly and fit like they are meant to from the smallest size to the largest. The mini skirt is also double-lined, so no extra layers are required. The top is a sheer mesh, so I added a bra from French luxury label Empreinte — something this pretty deserves to be seen, after all! You can layer this over a tank top or under a button-down if you want more coverage though.

Simone Rocha Launches “The Valentine Bag”
Straight off the back of a hugely successful Couture Week collection with Jean Paul Gaultier, Simone Rocha is launching sweet treats for Valentine’s Day. The Irish designer is bringing love in the form of a top-handle Valentine bag featuring the brand’s signature floral pearls. Available in two sizes, the handcrafted leather bags come in four different colorways, including classic cream and baby pink, alongside moodier iterations like oxblood and jet black.

Hair by Sam McKnight Launches Love Me Do Nourishing Oil
When we think about some of the world’s most famous faces, such as Princess Diana, Kate Moss, and Lady Gaga, one thing they all have in common is their hairstylist: Sam McKnight. A legend in his own right, McKnight has been behind some of the most iconic, high-profile magazine covers and runway looks. Now, his namesake brand is launching a “foolproof” hair oil that’s perfect for the dry winter season. The serum-oil hybrid includes three seed oils for extra nourishment and deep, penetrating conditioning so your hair can wave goodbye to flyaways and welcome in weightless shine.

February may be synonymous with romance, but Coach’s sister line, Coachtopia, aims to celebrate friendship this Love Month with the launch of their Friends collection. Designed by Coachtopia beta community member Sabrina Lau, the capsule toasts to the importance of BFFs via a range of ready-to-wear and accessories.

La Roche-Posay Launches Mela B3 Serum
French pharmacies are known for their gentle but effective ingredients, and La Roche-Posay is perhaps the most recognizable of the bunch. For winter, the brand launched an anti-hyperpigmentation serum that aims to correct the appearance of dark spots (even if they’re longstanding) and skin unevenness. Working alongside well-known skin saviors such as niacinamide, retinol, and hyaluronic acid is Melasyl™, a new, multi-patented ingredient described as an active “melanin trapper.” The powerful yet lightweight serum brightens the most stubborn dark spots while maintaining the ever-important skin barrier. Expect visible results in just 12 weeks. Shop at La Roche-Posay, La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum, $, available at La Roche-Posay
Veronica Beard Debuts Handbags
Known best for its dickey jackets and classically cool denim, New York-based fashion brand Veronica Beard is expanding its offering with the introduction of handbags. Having forayed into footwear in 2017, the brand’s newest non-apparel launch includes seven silhouettes in a range of sizes, colors, and fabrics such as leather, canvas and raffia. The standout design, the Goody Bag, boasts a drawstring top handle and three distinct colorways (including an eye-catching olive green). It is designed as a practical addition to any wardrobe as it can be worn as a crossbody or shoulder bag. “When we started designing handbags, we thought a lot about what would complement our customer’s lifestyle. We want to give her the dream handbag, crafted with luxurious materials and finishes, a bag that is chic, timeless, and versatile,” cofounder Veronica Miele Beard said in a press release.

L’Agence Debuts First Swimwear Collection
L’Agence — known for its effortless blend of laidback California vibes and Parisian sophistication — is kicking off pool season early. The L.A.-based brand just launched a 58-piece swimwear collection inspired by ’70s-era glam and scenic Côte d’Azure. Find bikini separates and one-pieces — most of which are made with shaping fabric and feature underwire support — as well as cover-ups that can also be worn going out and crystal-embellished mesh sarongs. Prices range from $100 to $425. Shop at lagence.com. L’Agence Maribel Mesh Pareo, $, available at L’Agence L’Agence Gabrielle Grommet One-Piece, $, available at L’Agence
L’Oréal Paris Launches Panorama Mascara
If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our eyelashes act as very important curtains. While some may say that all mascaras are created equal, we know that a big, fluffy brush is the only way to build an elite eyelash and L’Oréal Paris often has some of the best affordable options in the game. Dubbed its biggest makeup launch of the year, the brand is changing the lash game with the new Panorama Mascara. For those looking for a pumped-up lash look, the mascara uses a new multi-level bristle brush that makes lashes look 1.4 times bigger. No lash is left unturned as the brush is engineered to catch every individual lash (including the pesky corner pieces), and the mascara is made with a clump-free formula that’s buildable for both a subtle or statement eye.

This candle isn’t new — in fact the Dublin-based company dates back to 1488!! — but they are 1000% worth a shoutout. The weighty pieces look like stunning centrepieces, the scents are subtle but robust (my fave, Dublin Dusk, has notes of oud, cedar and ginger) and they last way longer than a typical Bachelor relationship. (P.S. That long burn time is partially due to a two-day pouring technique.) I’ll take 100, please. Shop at Rathbornes
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
The Hollywood awards season is in full swing, and this weekend we took a bit of a break from celebrating the best in movies and TV to shine a light on some of the year’s greatest music with the 2024 Grammy Awards. And, rest assured, it was a jam-packed night with A-List talent like Taylor Swift, Victoria Monét, and boygenius, Coco Jones, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and last but certainly not least SZA (who, with nine nods, has the most nominations of anyone!!) all up for major awards in major categories.
While we’re enamored by “grandpa core” and all the frumpy, oversized sweaters, we were interested in sourcing argyle clothing that looks more modern. Whether you want to go all in and wear a matching argyle skirt set or play it a bit more safe (and traditional) with a crewneck sweater, there’s something for everyone.
Go bold with a large argyle print in a fun color (see the lilac and yellow sweaters below) or a bit more subtle with a smaller, more monochromatic print (like the pleated skirt and collared dress). And don’t think argyle is only intended to be worn in formal situations. You can sport the print in your activewear for a game of tennis or a hot girl walk, too.
Blame it on Americana (once again) coming back into fashion or our general penchant for casual wear since the pandemic, but denim-on-denim looks continue to strut their way down the runways. Munthe’s new collection, inspired by the brand’s creative director-founder Naja Munthe’s love of horses, featured denim shirts, suits, and skirts. Meanwhile, Gestuz offered a ’70s-inspired take on a Canadian tuxedo and Marimekko served a spring version of a matching jean set that was adorned with flower prints.
On Monday, the fall 2024 runway showcases kicked off with Copenhagen Fashion Week. But while the catwalks dictate what trends shoppers will wear six months from now, the street style outside the shows sees fashion-minded locals and visitors parading in what’s hot right now. Personally, I’ve always loved the fashion looks coming from the Danish capital for their unabashed embrace of color (even in the dead of winter) and Scandi style. So, when attending this season, I borrowed outfit ideas from past attendees and brought out my brightest clothing and accessories, as well as peppered in more trending styles like business-core essentials, denim-on-denim, and metallic silvers. Ahead, what I wore to Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Like Bode, Rose, who has collaborated with brands like Nike and Clarks, is one of menswear’s most exciting names, captivating even women. “The thing about menswear is that while I can appreciate it, it is never really my focus when fashion week occurs,” says Sumbu. “But the way Martine Rose makes menswear made me pay attention.” She points to Rose’s fall/winter 2024 collection, which played with oversized, asymmetric proportions, as a good example of the designer’s genius. “I truly believe, especially with the drought of female fashion designers within luxury houses, that she will be leading the creative direction for one of them soon,” says Sumbu.
Sorry, studs. On Wednesdays, we wear pink and hoops. And not just any hoops, but fashion-forward ones designed by Mejuri. The celeb-favorite fine jewelry brand has been steadily hinting at their new collab on TikTok and Instagram, and today, Mejuri revealed that their mystery campaign star is none other than Mean Girls’ Renée Rapp. The Mejuri Hoops All Ways Collection featuring Renée Rapp consists of not one, but four styles in different sizes, with select hoops available in your choice of gold or silver — an ear candy enthusiast’s dream if we’ve ever seen one.
As the name suggests, Mejuri’s Heirloom Ring is a vintage-inspired design featuring a rounded gold dome band and ridges anchoring each side of the center stone. And it’s only fitting that the flame-red garnet, (a January birthstone, even though Kelce’s an October baby) and 14-carat yellow gold perfectly coordinate with the Chiefs’ team colors. At $598, the stunning piece does cost a pretty penny, but Mejuri also makes plenty of affordable garnet pieces if you want to rock a similar style. (Some of our faves are linked below.) And hey, Valentine’s Day is coming up, so if there was a time to start dropping hints…
In Ryan Murphy’s second installment of the Feud anthology, Breakfast at Tiffany’s author Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) faces the fallout after revealing the secrets of the doyennes of the New York City haute monde: Babe Paley (Naomi Watts), Slim Keith (Diane Lane), CZ Guest (Chloe Sevigny), and Lee Radziwill (Calista Flockhart), otherwise known as The Swans. But while some viewers will be tuning in for the dramatized events that got Capote kicked out of high society, others will be paying attention to the Capote Vs. The Swansfashion — designed by Murphy’s go-to fashion collaborator and producer Lou Eyrich and her New York City-based co-costume designers Leah Katznelson and Rudy Mance — spanning from the 1950s to the 1980s.
“I’ve been studying The Swans forever because Ryan’s been obsessed with them forever,” says Eyrich. “We’re always using The Swans in our references [for the other shows], but this time it was digging much deeper.”
The challenge was to illustrate each character’s distinctive style while also making them complement each other in group scenes, like the one featuring the foursome sauntering in slow-motion down the stairs, like a posh all-girl group, at CZ’s black-tie Thanksgiving soirée or lunching at their off-Fifth Avenue local, La Côte Basque (which provided the title for the scandalous 1975 Esquire excerpt from Capote’s book, Answered Prayers, that featured thinly veiled characterizations of The Swans).

To create the looks, Eyrich and her team sourced designer vintage as much as possible, tapping their ever-growing list of dealers and collectors while also scouring Instagram and TikTok. “[Sourcing] was a full-time job,” says Eyrich. They also — for episode three, which reenacts Capote’s legendary 1966 Black and White Ball — brought red carpet designer Zac Posen on board. “I’m such a Hollywood buff,” says Posen. “I was living my best Hollywood [costume designer] Adrian, Edith Head, Irene Sharaff fantasy.”
Ahead, Eyrich discusses each of the Swans’ wardrobes, while Posen reveals the inspiration behind the opulent masquerade gowns.
Capote Vs. The Swans Fashion: Babe Paley’s Queen Bee Elegance
FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans — Pictured: (center) Naomi Watts as Babe Paley. CR: FX
Before marrying the chronically philandering head of CBS, Bill Paley (Treat Williams), in 1947, Babe Cushing worked as a Vogue editor. Thanks to her refined sense of fashion, she graced the International Best Dressed List in 1958, famously wearing dazzling Fulco di Verdura and Jean Schlumberger jewels (portrayed as guilt gifts from Bill in the show) and designs from haute couture houses like Balenciaga, Valentino, and Givenchy.
“She didn’t need a lot of fluff. She’d have earrings, maybe a brooch, an Hermès scarf. Everything was very simple, but extremely chic and polished… Everything matched: the gloves, the purse, the shoes, all the time,” says Eyrich, who referenced society photos and books like Swans: Legends of the Jet Society by Nicholas Foulkes and Bill Paley’s memoir before creating a palette of creams, caramels, camels, rose pinks, and pastel blues for Watts, whose meticulously put-together wardrobe meant to also serve as an armor and a facade as her character’s personal life deteriorates.
In a standout fashion moment in the premiere, Watts attends a runway show and fitting at the Givenchy atelier in Paris. Eyrich hunted high and low (including in the Parisian house’s archives) before finding the boat-neck, cap-sleeve black dress that exhibited Hubert de Givenchy’s trademark wasp-waisted silhouette in a collector’s collection: “We were trying to find something show-worthy.”
Capote Vs. The Swans Fashion: CZ Guest’s Refined Country House Aesthetic
FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans — Pictured: Chloë Sevigny as C.Z. Guest. CR: Pari Dukovic/FX
To contrast Watts’ character’s cosmopolitan elegance, Eyrich dressed down Sevigny — in houndstooth blazers, crisp button-ups and fine-knit turtlenecks — for scenes featuring the socialite tending to her sprawling garden and finely bred horses at her Connecticut estate. “We made her more practical, but she always had her pearls,” says Eyrich. To portray the Salvador Dalí muse, Eyrich used a lot of American designers, including Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, and Ralph Lauren, as well as vintage pieces from European brands like Lanvin, Pierre Cardin, and Céline.
Sevigny’s strongest look comes in episode two. While at the Guests’ ultra-swanky annual Thanksgiving in Palm Beach, the Swans don beachside hues: Watts in a vintage cream jumpsuit and gold belt and Lane in a raspberry metallic silk gown. “We tried to use fruit colors, like tangerines, and just more softness because they were in the Sunshine State,” says Eyrich. “Then, a little bit of an icy feel because they’re starting to shut Capote out.” Eyrich — who referenced Guest’s couture gowns in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s archives, plus photos from the ’60s and ’70s — dressed Sevigny in a custom-designed lilac caftan ensemble, with billowing ruffling at the fluted sleeves and toward the hemline: “This is her home. It’s a hostess dress, so to speak, so we chose a caftan, but [designed into] more sophisticated, upscale evening wear.”
Capote Vs. The Swans Fashion: Slim Keith’s Statement-Making Separates
FFX’s FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans “Pilot” Premieres Wednesday, January 31 at 10 p.m. ET/PT — Pictured: Diane Lane as Slim Keith. CR: FX
“Slim was a trickier one,” says Eyrich. While the California-born model’s tailored and slightly sporty fashion aesthetic was well documented in the ’50s and ’60s thanks to her work with high-society photographer Slim Aarons, documentation of Slim proved sparse by the ’70s. This proved a challenge for Eyrich, especially for the private at-home moments depicted in the series.
“Diane Lane, who loves to be in the costume process, and I talked a lot about it,” says Eyrich, landing on a wardrobe built around tailored, flowing pants. “A little bit menswear-inspired, and married into more feminine,” says Eyrich, referencing a photo of Slim in a long wrap-front gown. “She didn’t wear the soft silky dresses, but more structured, belted and chic, and with boots rather than a heel.”
Eyrich and her team custom-built a majority of Lane’s closet, including lots of jewel-toned collared or bow blouses, high-waisted pants and one dramatic wool cape for a trip to Connecticut. Eyrich also incorporated Slim’s beloved brands, like Gucci, Lanvin, and Dior, plus homegrown designers Geoffrey Beene and Bill Blass.
Capote Vs. The Swans Fashion: Lee Radziwill’s Forward-Thinking Style
FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans — Pictured: Calista Flockhart as Lee Radziwill. CR: Pari Dukovic/FX
Despite her old-world European nobility bonafides, Lee — or Her Serene Highness Princess Caroline Lee Radziwill, thanks to her marriage to Polish Prince Stanislaw Albrecht — was a fashion trailblazer. “She was the most photographed, so she was always conscious of her look,” says Eyrich. Following events depicted in the show, Lee continued developing relationships with influential designers, serving as a Giorgio Armani brand ambassador and becoming friends with Louis Vuitton’s then-new enfant terrible creative director Marc Jacobs in the ’90s.
In the show, the Boston-Brahmin-debutante-turned-socialite wears bolder statement pieces than the rest of the Swans, like a leopard print coat and a squiggly pinstripe Galanos dress and vest. “For [Flockhart], we really focused on the contemporary designers of the time period,” says Eyrich, counting off names like Adolfo, Hermès, Halston, and Guy Laroche. Flockhart’s edgier style progression also telegraphs Lee’s forward-thinking mindset that’s more prepared for the relaxation of fashion — and societal standards — in the ’80s. “She was fine wearing jeans on the street,” says Eyrich, referencing photos of Lee in the late ’70s. “We never put [Watts], [Sevigny] or [Lane] in jeans.”
Capote Vs. The Swans Fashion: Black and White Ball
FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans — Pictured: The Black and White Ball. CR: FX
To costume design show-stopping ensembles for the episode depicting the famous Black and White Ball — which was inspired by the Ascot Race scene in 1964’s My Fair Lady and called for women to wear black or white looks — Zac Posen studied everything from old WWD and Vogue clippings to dusty CBS video footage and decades of fashion sketches. “Like, one of those crime shows,” jokes Posen. But, instead of precisely recreating each look, the designer leaned into Murphy’s soaring vision. “Ryan’s like, ‘I want a lot of drama,’” says Posen, who coined a new term: “Ryan Murphy Fabulosity.”
Posen also wanted to convey The Swans’ competition with each other in vying for Truman’s — and high society’s — spotlight during what the NYTdescribed as “the most exquisite of spectator sports.” So, he cleverly incorporated swan-referential clues into each of their elaborate ensembles.
For Watts, the designer evoked “Queen Swan” through a mélange of references, including Da Vinci’s drawings of the majestic birds and Art Deco illustrator Erté’s black-and-white illustrations. He also replicated an element of Babe’s real-life look to symbolize her growing dissatisfaction with Capote: “Babe’s [ivory Zibeline] dress was lined in a crimson.”
With no photographs of Slim to reference, Posen, who makes a cameo as Lane’s fedora-masked walker at the gala, took full creative license for the character’s look. “[It] was carte blanche. It’s totally made up,” confirms Posen. “What would she do? There’s all these great photos of [Slim] in pants. She traveled the world. So I designed a tuxedo jumpsuit.” The black-and-white blocking on her opera cape was a nod to the look worn by Bill and Babe’s daughter, Amanda Burden, who borrowed a starburst stripe-paneled gown from My Fair Lady, designed by Cecil Beaton. “I wanted this graphic color,” says Posen. “The cape is a silk taffeta that catches air and inflates. It’s more understated, loose, louche, too cool for school — and it’s Diane Lane.”
For Radziwill’s look, which included a mod metallic sequin and bead-embellished set by Italian designer Mila Schön, Posen stayed true-ish to real life. “She’s a marker of the time period,” he says. “She’s the futuristic swan.” Conjuring “film magic” through Flockhart’s sculpted robe, Posen concocted a “decoupage” of gold, silver and ivory embellishments, like mesh sequin and horsehair. “I found this bizarre plastic metallic trim that I would layer and braid,” he continues. “It looks incredibly rich and decadent.”
Finally, to interpret CZ’s gown, designed by her favorite American couturier Mainbocher, Posen revisited a mid-century “classicist” style with “a little Charles James-y there.” Amplifying CZ’s equestrian pursuits, Posen embellished the back of Sevigny’s gown with two florets that resemble “horse prizes.” He also draped the bottom of her strapless gown to resemble a swan’s neck. “It’s supposed to look evil,” says Posen. “Gorgeous, deliciously evil aquatic birds, each one of them.”
The Real Housewivesof New York have nothing on these wild swans.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
Tights have been a favored fashion trend for seasons now, often seen on the runway as part of a no-pants look (see: the fall 2023 collections from Miu Miu, Gucci, and Christian Siriano), but now colored tights, particularly those of the red variety, have become increasingly prominent. Appearing during the holiday party season, as well as Spring 2024 street style, bold hosiery has made a statement in the last six months. Of course, red is not the only shade bright enough to turn heads. Hailey Bieber has advocated for white and brown stockings, worn with a fitted minidress and pumps, for a night out. Meanwhile, others have showcased colorful variations underneath oversized suiting and denim, peeking out at the ankle for a fun “sock” moment.
Winter fashion can be fun. Just ask the crowd at Copenhagen Fashion Week, which just kicked off its fall/winter 2024 schedule on Monday. While the Scandi set is known for out-of-the-box styling and bold color combinations, this season, the Danish capital is taking on the mob wife aesthetics, 2010s-ready leopard print accessories, and yes, quiet luxury.
Now that you’ve found a chain, it’s time to add on some charms. (Or in the case that you already have an existing charm necklace or bracelet, it’s time to add to your charm collection). The actual charms are no doubt the best part of a charm necklace because they’re where you can get the most playful and precise and really show off your personality. Is travel on your 2024 vision board? Jet Set Candy has a host of wanderlust-appropriate charms. Have you, too, hopped on the bow bandwagon? See the single huggie earring below that doubles as a charm. Is your favorite food pizza? There’s a charm for that, too.
While you can splurge on a specialty charm from Catbird or Mejuri, we love that you can find millions of styles that are more affordable and get the job done just as well. And we just know that once you find and collect your favorite charms, it’ll be so gratifying to build a timepiece you can add to and take away from. That way it can always represent your stage of life and reflect new trends.
Raise your hand if you’re ready to shed your heavy, dark winter gear for some airy spring dresses. Don’t get us wrong, while we adore bundling up in a cute winter ‘fit, we’re also itching to glide into lighter attire — and nothing says warmer weather like a classic white dress. As we saw on the spring/summer 2024 runways, white is already trending in a big way, especially since Valentino gave its stamp of approval. (The fashion house first hinted at 2023’s hot pink trend way back in 2022.)
