It may be cutting it close to the wire to find a one-of-a-kind, truly special gift for those last few people on your list—so why not give them something they’ll use time and time again? Loungewear may sound like an anticlimactic offering, but who doesn’t utilize comfy basics on repeat this season of the year? Plus, we’re not referring to department store tees and pull-on shorts—Elwood Clothing has universally giftable pieces, and they’re prone to selling out fast.
The under-the-radar loungewear and streetwear brand is a Los Angeles’ favorite, boasting high-quality, affordable pieces that will routinely slip into your daily rotation. Its Core Collection is inspired by the fit and feel of vintage pieces, and has 12 of Elwood’s best-selling styles, including the Oversized Core Tee, Crewneck, Hoodie, Sweatpant and SweatShort. Each item is made from buttery soft, 100 percent cotton that will serve up nothing but comfort during at-home relaxation and even stressful traveling.
Originally established in the mid-90s, Elwood was first and foremost a skate brand. It’s evolved over the years in order to continue churning out vintage-inspired clothing, offering pieces that “prove to stand the test of time.”
If you’re looking to pick up some not-so-basic basics, Elwood Clothing is one boutique brand not to be missed. If anything, a couple pieces from its collection will make for useful gifts to the picky teenager in your life, the boyfriend who is impossible to shop for, and dare we say, even yourself.

Over the last few years, J.Crew has found a die-hard audience of young people with a stylish, sartorially in-tune eye that, frankly, wouldn’t even have shopped there 3 years ago. While much of the brand’s buzzy come-back can be attributed to the appointment of womenswear designer Olympia Gayot and menswear designer, Brendon Babenzien, there’s an undeniable core tenet of the American heritage retailer that may be the key to it’s longevity and trendy resurgence among fashion’s cool kids: people love wearing old clothing.
Unlike the ultra-hyper fast fashion trends or too-current aesthetic waves that have swept fashion circles over the last few years, it feels like there’s been a turn in our approach to clothing. Like tons of other editors or friends of mine, I’ve found myself perusing through J.Crew’s site more and more as the months have gone on, opting to align myself’s with the brand’s iconic all-Americana vibe complete with oversized knits, workwear jackets, sharp tailoring, and other staples New England coastal cool.
Instead of introducing a singular defining trend, it was a decade where many fashion tribes emerged, each with a signature style. Rather than fashion houses, It girls set the trends. Brigitte Bardot had her beehive, and Audrey Hepburn perfected chic minimalism, while Twiggy’s elfish clotheshorse look made her the poster girl for Mary Quant’s colorful minis. And that’s all before we’ve even discussed the high glamour of the likes of The Supremes and Cher. However, all of these looks, while different, have one thing in common: We still wear them today. Keep scrolling to click through the ’60s fashion trends we’ll never chuck out of our wardrobes.
Accessories can be handy tools to take an outfit from zero to 100 in an instant. This year, large, chunky earrings have been my secret sartorial weapon to not only elevate my entire look but also make my outfits look expensive. The ’80s-inspired silhouettes have been a favorite among the fashion set this season. No matter what they’re styled with, they ooze rich-mom energy that makes an entire outfit. From round gold circles to silver waves and geometric designs, the trend will continue to dominate into fall. In fact, they were spotted all over the fall/winter 2023 runways, styled with everything from elegant eveningwear to simple tank tops intended to be worn for practically every occasion.
If you’re looking to get in on the chic-earring trend this season, you don’t necessarily have to commit to the designer versions to do so. After much research, I gathered 24 pairs that embody the extra-large-earring craze. Whether you want to go vintage, designer, or affordable, keep scrolling—there’s something for every taste and budget.
Who Is She is a column that unveils the most elusive tastemakers on the internet.
The term “fashion girl” is an overworked cliché that I’d rather not use at this point, but let this be the 1% of cases where the phrase is actually applicable. If I could assemble all of the qualities that embody what it authentically means to live, breathe, and consume fashion, one of the first people that comes to mind is Jordan Grant.
Quite literally, fashion is a resounding part of her life. She’s the content director for Heat—a London-based commerce company “curating new luxury for a new generation of consumers.” Geared toward a Gen-Z audience, the brand takes the viral sensation of mystery boxes to a whole new level vis a vis incremental drops including high-end designer pieces. Heat has recently secured seed funding from conglomerate LVMH among others, so it’s fair to expect big things. Grant is the eyes and mind that scopes and curates brands featured within each mystery box.
But aside from her Heat duties, she is a defining figure of the London fashion scene with the invites to back it up. She’s a regular of every exclusive fashion party (Miu Miu and Loewe seem to particularly love her), and when Simon Porte Jacquemus convened his crew of muses to “sit” front row in row boats along the historical banks of Versailles, she was one of them. TikTok has even coined her a fashion icon.
Now onto another cliché—the pervasive fascination of “quiet luxury.” Grant is probably its antithesis. As the British creative tells me over video chat, she’s not a fan of the clean girl aesthetic—a sentiment which really shouldn’t come as a surprise to any that’s observed her bold wardrobe choices. Not many can pull off a full Schiaparelli look or earrings that jet out like static jellyfish tentacles, and so convincingly, but she throws them on as if they were simply black trousers made to coordinate with everything. Nothing is really off-limits when it comes to her style (unless it’s soap brows!), which is precisely why she’s on everyone’s mood board. Taking a break from running around London doing fashion things and making top-tier TikToks, the city’s consummate It girl explained why Miuccia Prada is “mother,” why good glam and flashy accessories are always important, and the tenets of a stop-and-stare kind of outfit.
How did you get into fashion, and what was your upbringing like?
When I was around 14 years old, my mom had a secondhand designer and vintage shop in Bath, which is where I’m from. I worked in her shop every weekend, and sometimes, I would go there after school. So that’s kind of how I started to learn about different brands and vintage pieces as well as the resale value of things. But I was always just really into fashion. I loved all the pieces, and I loved dressing up. I think that’s all I ever wanted to do. That was always my dream. I wanted to move to London to do fashion—I never really had my sights on anything else.
Growing up, were you around a lot of fashionable people other than your mom?
Not really. I’ll be honest. Bath is not a very fashion-forward place.
Did you go to school or university for fashion at all?
I did a short course at the London College of Fashion—it was like an introduction to fashion. Then as soon as I finished school, I started doing fashion PR and marketing, but throughout my time at university, I also did loads of different internships. I worked at Versace, Tom Ford, andGarrard. I was always trying to have different work experiences, and I loved it. Then as soon as I graduated from university, I went straight to Dubai to work for Harper’s Bazaar Arabia as an intern.
How did that happen?
I always had in my mind that I wanted to work for a magazine—that was just always my thing. Vogue was launching in the Middle East, and I was just fascinated by that and the imagery in the Middle East, so I basically just hunted everyone down on LinkedIn, personally emailing them like, “Please, can I come and lend a hand?” Eventually, someone from Harper’s Bazaar was like, “Yeah, cool, we actually have an event, and we really need people to help—can you come in like two weeks?” And I was like, “Yes!”
That’s actually a good lesson in how to be tenacious and really go for what you want.
I remember getting blocked from loads of companies as well. I was emailing so much. They would all start bouncing back, and I was like, “Okay they blocked me with a different email!”
During your time at Harper’s Bazaar Arabia is when you started to gain a following on social media—what was that like?
Yeah, that’s definitely where my following started to grow. I think people were just really interested to see what I was up to, like the different things I was doing. Whether it was organizing events or you know, it definitely looked glamorous, but it was long hours, and it was hard work. But I think it was fun and exciting, and I loved showing that as well.
I lived in Dubai for four months, but I carried on writing for Harper’s Bazaar when I got back to London. They actually offered me a job at the end of it! I was also managing their Instagram, and I really wanted to apply that skillset that I’d learned in social media over in London. So when I got back I was like, “Okay, let me go and see if I can do this in London and take on multiple clients,” which I did.
How did you get involved with Heat?
Basically, I was working with the founder Joe [Wilkinson] on another company, and then shortly after, he started Heat. It was a small team then—like a team of three. So after he started it, he was like, “I want you to come work on Heat too.” We had only ever met in person I think like once or twice and very briefly—we used to always just talk via email. [Joe Wilkinson and Mario Maher] then brought me on to do their launch campaign, manage their socials and their content as well as a bit of creative direction, so I was doing all of that. But obviously, in a startup, it’s very “all hands on deck,” so I was also helping source designers and pieces as well as packing items. It was a bit of everything, which was amazing! From then on, the company just grew, and obviously, me and Joe later got together as well.
That’s definitely not a bad outcome! So the concept of Heat is sort of like these mystery drop boxes, right?
We do one to two drops a month, and the customer doesn’t know what’s going to be inside. However, we do kind of tease the brands that will be inside for that drop. We also have different boxes—we have a streetwear box, a contemporary box, a homeware box, and a super-brand box. We also have mono-branded boxes where it’s just got one brand inside.
Do you help source the designers and the product that goes into the mystery boxes?
For sure! So I curate the designers that go inside, picking out the best pieces and then putting pieces together too because we essentially want to give the customer an outfit or at least a bag and shoes. But yes, putting those pieces together is really fun.
You’re basically styling people?
Yeah!
What do you look for when scouting emerging designers and names for Heat?
We like to combine hot, sought-after brands and pieces while putting people onto new brands that they might not be familiar with. So I think for me that would be brands like Knwls, Heaven, and Diesel. Obviously, some people know these brands, but sometimes, there are certain customers or regions that don’t.
Clearly, you know what you’re talking about when it comes to fashion—who are your top three designers, dead or alive?
So the mother is Miuccia Prada, of course. I love Prada and always have. Then Glenn Martens and I really love what Daniel Roseberry is doing at Schiaparelli.
Yes! I personally endorse all three of those names. But definitely, Schiaparelli is having such a huge revival, and I’m so glad that people are appreciating it and its long-standing heritage.
It was crazy when Kim Kardashian wore, Schiaparelli, I think it was two years ago, and everyone was like, “Oh my God, who is this emerging designer?” And I was like, “Oh my, I’m having a meltdown.’”
Crazy! So what are some names of emerging designers that you’re currently into?
Okay, so I really love this designer that I’m wearing right now, Hugo Kreit. I actually have an addiction to his jewelry. He’s amazing! I just love big costume jewelry in general. I’m also into Martine Rose and this brand called Vaillant Studio. Then there is this designer who makes these mega-fluffy boots and other just really cute shoes called Western Affair.
You wear a ton of emerging labels, a lot of times before they hit the mainstream. How do you first discover these brands?
Sometimes, I even have this moment where I’m like, “Okay, I just wanna go and find new brands and small designers,” so I’d like to go to Depop and have an hour-long rummage there. I’ll just find cute niche brands or people making cute jewelry. But otherwise, it’s Instagram. TikTok has put me onto a lot of good brands, too, I’ll be honest. Sometimes, I just get in a TikTok hole, and I’ll find some chick that has crazy style, and then I’m like scrolling through all her stuff and seeing what brands she likes.
You have a gift of taking pieces that don’t look all that exciting—for instance, a super-preppy polo—and ultimately making them look cool and feel fun. How do you typically approach constructing an outfit once you get a piece?
For me, it’s over-accessorizing. I’ll be like, “Let’s add some bangs and add some earrings.” I’ll ask, What lip are we doing? What eye are we doing? I think it’s those two which tie it together—the accessories and the glam. So even if it is a plain dress, I’m gonna do a crazy hairstyle with it and some weird makeup—unless the outfit is screaming, which then maybe I won’t go so crazy on the hair and makeup. But ultimately, I think it’s about combining the hair, the glam with the look, and making it feel like part of an era.
How do you feel about trends? Any that you’re loving or loving to hate?
The trend that I’m loving I guess is vintage—that always has been my vibe forever. I’ve always loved vintage pieces because of my mom’s shop for sure, so now that vintage is back in, that’s one trend I’m liking. And then trends that I’m not liking… Soap brows definitely need to leave the building.
Since your outfits are so expansive aesthetically, are there any designer collections, past or present, that you find yourself referencing?
I think a standout moment is Miu Miu F/W 21, which was the show on the mountains. It was like with all these layers and stuff— loved that. The Chanel supermarket runway show, I always think about a lot.
Is there anybody who you look to for your inspiration?
I have so many photos saved on Pinterest and Instagram for glam, but in terms of style, it’s hard—there’s not a particular person. There are all these people that I find on Pinterest and Instagram. I’m like, who are they? But I think it’s less about looking to people and more just looking at previous campaigns. One that stands out to me is from the Galliano-era Christian Dior in the 2000s. The girls are really sweaty, and they’ve got the big glasses on.
What’s on your list of holy-grail fashion items?
One would be the Cartier Crash on a red crocodile strap. Also, the Chanel supermarket basket, which I’ve always wanted. At the moment, I’m just looking for really cute vintage Manolos for the summer.
Is there something that you currently own that you’re just like, “I love this so much I can’t ever part with it”?
I’m gonna have to say it’s probably my white mini Hermès Kelly, which I got in January in Paris—she’s my baby girl!
Judging by your Instagram, you’re big on travel—is there a favorite destination that you’ve been to recently?
In March, I had my birthday on the Red Sea, and we sailed down the sea toward Egypt. It was incredible. It was like being on Mars basically. Some of the places we went to felt so uninhabited. We also went Jet-Skiing between these massive rocks, and there were little baby sharks all around us. But my favorite place ever is Capri. You feel like you’re in a movie, just like old Italian glamor.
Capri is one of the top places I want to go to this year—I keep hearing there are so many amazing places to shop there.
There are! They’re small, but the selection is chef’s kiss.
Do you have a favorite place in London?
For food, my favorite place is Gold in Notting Hill. The mushrooms on toast is delightful. And if I’m like, “I just wanna walk around,” I love going to Regent’s Park.
Instagram or TikTok?
TikTok. Sometimes, I can spend hours on it. I think Instagram is more curated and more manufactured—for me anyway. TikTok is kind of like my fun place to be honest.
What’s the last great movie or TV show that you’ve seen?
The Real Housewives is my Super Bowl—I watched all of them. I also watched RocknRolla last week, which I’ve probably seen like 15 times. It’s a classic for me. Any Guy Ritchie movie I love.
What’s cool to you right now?
I think investing in things that you are passionate about [and] exploring those passions. I’ve always been into homewares, so I went and did pottery classes. I’m also going to be doing a glass-blowing course. So these are just all the things that I’m passionate about, just like a personal hobby. I’m gonna put the time and money into it, and who knows what will happen?
Let me take you down memory lane for a second. Can you remember the first bag you ever owned that you loved? What did it look like? Why was it valuable to you? It’s safe to say that almost everyone who loves fashion can remember their first handbag—mine was a labelless crescent shoulder bag made of silver chain mail. And while everyone’s first handbag varies, the sentimental value that the first bag holds for us all remains. Of course, placing a value beyond memory on your vintage handbag requires in-depth knowledge of the luxury space. Not all bags are created equal, and they’re not all sound investments for the long-term. I still love my little chain-mail bag to this day (and I’ll never pass up the chance to test-drive a new handbag trend), but I know that investing in a designer bag is the grown-up scenario when shopping for purses.
In fact, designer handbags are arguably the best thing you can buy for your wardrobe for multiple reasons, one being that they are a great way to get your hands on luxury labels for less. Secondly, they’re easy to shop secondhand and resell if you’re making space in your wardrobe. Plus, designer bags surpass the sentimental value and gain monetary value with time. Securing a designer handbag is the best thing you can do for your future self. But if you’re like me and find it difficult to decide which designer handbag is worth buying, don’t fret.
I spoke with The RealReal’s merchandising manager, Kelly McSweeney, about why investing in a Valentino handbag is the move right now, and she shared the five best Valentino bags that have managed to retain their value over the years. They may not be your first handbag, but they’re bound to be just as valuable.
From there, Telfar’s handbags began to bubble up as a favorite among the fashion set and were dubbed the “Bushwick Birkin” by makeup artist Xya Rachel. Still, Telfar didn’t get the love it rightfully deserved, despite its popularity among the fashion set, until 2020. After calls to support Black-owned businesses in the wake of protests following the murder of George Floyd, the brand began to blow up. Telfar’s shopping totes were everywhere—from being featured on The Wendy Williams Show to being spotted on celebrities such as Beyoncé and Oprah. Rather than letting the hype die down, Clemens has kept the brand more relevant than ever through cunning business moves like launching its Bag Security Program with Klarna so customers can preorder the totes in every size and color, along with establishing collaborations with Ugg, Moncler, and the Liberian Olympic team and its first-ever blind preorder with Eastpak.
With the secondhand market booming and such a wide variety of online sellers and sites catering to every taste, there’s really no reason not to shop secondhand and sustainably right now. Depop’s brand and marketing director, Steve Dool, gives me some insight: “The secondhand market, which is projecting $82 billion in sales by 2026, continues to see dynamic growth globally, but particularly in the U.S.
So what are people buying? “After an explosion of micro-trends and ‘cores,’ we’re seeing fatigue from such fast-paced fashion cycles. Make no mistake: Trends still come and go. We’re just not moving through them at a breakneck pace, as we have in the recent past. Depop’s audiences are becoming more aware of their shopping approach, thinking deeply about what to invest in and mixing trends to play into complete looks that serve their closet as a whole. Overarching themes of sportswear and stealth wealth are still prevalent. Quieter, subdued versions of boho and sea-inspired trends are replacing glaringly obvious trendy pieces. Flowy, long skirts, button-downs, and denim along with sheer dresses, shell-inspired colors, and fun sandals make for easy summer dressing,” explains Dool.
Welcome to our monthly shopping series where we’ll highlight vintage pieces from one heritage brand. Consider this your personal online vintage curator. I frequently peruse the best resale sites to find the coolest vintage shoes, bags, and more, so I decided to turn my shopping habit into a series and share my findings. If you prefer to avoid paying full price for designer items or practice sustainability by purchasing pre-owned pieces, then this franchise is for you. This round, I’m highlighting the best Louis Vuitton items you can buy for under $300.
As I mentioned above, I spend a solid amount of time browsing sites and have already shopped Prada, Gucci, and Manolo Blahnik under $300 for you. Today, I’m adding to the list and bringing you the best LV logo items I’ve found on the internet. I was able to sift through a majority of the pages of pre-owned stock, so you have the cream of the crop at your scrolling fingertips. Below, you’ll find an assortment of shoes, layering pieces, small accessories, and handbags, all ringing in under $300. Enough with the introductions, though. Check out the best vintage Louis Vuttion items you can find online within our $300 limit.
If you’re ever wondering what the next It item is, just scroll through a few recent Rihanna outfits. Without fail, the singer-turned-beauty-entrepreneur always seems to wear the pieces that are seconds away from a viral takeover, whether it’s a Loewe rugby shirt or a Miu Miu crystal two-piece. For proof, just look at one of her most recent ensembles, an all-red, skin-tight Alaïa combo that she wore to go out in New York City with A$AP Rocky following their recent rendezvous in Paris together. But while the color of the look is certainly having a moment RN, that wasn’t the most of-the-times aspect of the outfit.
Instead, it was the matching red clutch Rihanna carried that we should really take note of. The Gucci bag features the Italian house’s signature logo print as well as an oversize Horsebit clasp. The style is vintage from Tom Ford’s time as Gucci’s creative director in the 1990s and early 2000s, though it was recently remastered by the brand for its fall/winter 2023 collection. No, unfortunately, the new version isn’t out yet. However, the secondhand market is packed with vintage styles from its original heyday. Below, see Rihanna’s date-night look and shop the Gucci bag that’s about to blow up.
If you, like me, can spend hours scrolling through the Instagram account @lostjcrew, which features campaign and catalog imagery that J.Crew originally shot between 1983 and 1997, I get the feeling that you’ll like the latest piece of news released by the retailer. Yesterday, J.Crew dropped its first round of iconic vintage pieces from that era, a program that will continue throughout the brand’s 40th-anniversary year.
Starting off strong, J.Crew handpicked a selection of its signature roll-neck sweaters in 14 different colors, ranging from classic hues to bright shades of red, yellow, and green. The 100% cotton knit first made its debut in J.Crew’s catalog in 1988 but has been featured countless times since, as it quickly became a staple for the brand. In turn, it’s made appearances on the @lostjcrew an immeasurable number of times, including here, in an autumnal shade of burgundy.
There’s only one catch. Since each sweater is handpicked and one of a kind, this drop is extremely limited edition, meaning that it’s highly likely that the color you want will sell out if you don’t act fast. With that in mind, shop J.Crew’s just-launched vintage selection of roll-neck sweaters below.
Despite popular belief, even editors can succumb to one of the most common closet mistakes: lack of discernment. Though our jobs are about being able to sift through everything to find the best staples to add to our (and our dear readers) closets, it can, at times, be overwhelming. After all, we live to find things, so sometimes we go a little overboard—whether that means investing in far too many trends, not shopping as wisely as we can, or owning multiple versions of the same piece because they’re slightly “different.” Of course, this problem doesn’t solely plague editors; anyone can reach a point where they wake up one day, stare at their overstuffed closet, and profess, I have nothing to wear.
In those moments, it’s more important than ever to not only do a closet clean-out but also have an internal check-in about your shopping habits. Deciding to ditch that once-viral trend after wearing it once for TikTok may seem harmless, but textile waste (and production) is one of the second biggest polluters in the world. The average American throws away 81.5 pounds of clothes yearly, and while you may be thinking, No, I donate it, what many don’t know is that most clothing that’s “donated” ends up being exported to impoverished countries where they’ll eventually be left in landfills and impact local agriculture and water supplies for those communities.
All of this is to say that it’s imperative to do everything we possibly can as consumers to shift to a circular economy, and the easiest way to do just that is through the secondhand resale market. We know that there are so many benefits to shopping secondhand, but reselling can feel a bit more challenging for many. So to make that process more accessible, we spoke with three experts from some of the biggest luxury resell platforms to have them share their wisdom.
Ahead, you’ll hear from them about how they got into the luxury resale industry, why it’s imperative to shop (and sell) clothing secondhand, and what pieces you should be parting with and purchasing right now.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m a Zara devotee. But the thrill of finding a one-of-a-kind vintage piece that is unique is far more exciting than scooping up another Zara top. Vintage shopping is one of my favorite pastimes—my earliest (and fondest) childhood memories involve scuffling through racks of musty old clothes at the local secondhand store with my mother. It’s a shopping ritual I wholly believe led to my enduring love affair with fashion.
So today I wanted to share some of my favorite online vintage stores where you can find charming, pre-loved pieces that you can guarantee no one else will be wearing. Not only does shopping secondhand maintain individualism, but it also offers affordable access to designer heritage brands, it’s cost-effective, it favors quality over quantity, and it encourages sustainability.
Scroll below to see my favorite online vintage shops that range from Zara prices to investment-worthy discount designer rates.
