Below, you’ll find not only the top 10 fall basics worthy of your wardrobe but also the best version of each one from the three aforementioned retailers. Keep scrolling to get started and finally check all the essentials off your fall shopping list at once, from boots to button-downs to blazers and everything in between.
Anyone can try a butterfly cut, but it typically works best on thicker hair that isn’t too long. “If the hair is too long, you can’t do so many layers,” says Lordet. “As the hair gets shorter in length, the more layers you can do. If you do too many layers on long hair, the problem that can happen is you lose the thickness at the end.”
Any texture can try butterfly cuts as well, but make sure to talk to your stylist about layers for your curl pattern that will help frame your face best.
Each season, we are greeted with a whole new class of covetable bags that end up defining the fashion of the moment. This season, we’ve already decided which styles will be carried by celebs and fashion insiders and can be known as the most popular fall handbags of 2022. Whether spotted on runways or trickling into our Instagram feeds, there are plenty of cool carryalls that have been granted it-bag status. So which bags are worthy of the investment this year?
Ahead, I’m highlighting the 10 key handbags that are everywhere this fall. We’re seeing some styles that tap into this season’s big-bag trend, some that are retro-inspired, and others that bring a modern spin to a heritage bag. Go on to see which bags made the cut, why we’re predicting they will continue to be huge, and of course, shop all 10 of them for yourself.
VIP Nordstrom stylist Sandy Koszarek recently shared her favorite 2022 trends. While chatting with us, she also shared that one of the key questions her clients routinely ask her is what shoe trends look best with jeans. So we thought it could be informative to have her offer up some of the combos she suggests—you know, in an effort to potentially inspire your denim and shoe wardrobes.
For the most part, Koszarek often recommends footwear silhouettes that are extremely versatile and could be worn with a range of items, blue jeans included. Below you’ll see some of the shoes in question, including of-the-moment boots and a comfortable flats style.
Keep scrolling for more, along with visual inspiration from Koszarek. And if you’re in the mood to shop, there are also product recommendations for each.
Let me start by conceding that the state of the world looked nothing like it does today when I stepped out of college and into my first full-time job a mere three years ago. I know I certainly could have used a road map for navigating the major life transition at that time, so I can only imagine how game-changing a few words of advice are for those attempting to enter the “workforce” at this particular moment in time.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not qualified to dole out career advice, but I am in a position to recommend a few key staples that will lay the foundation for a chic and professional work wardrobe and will (hopefully) see you through to a fulfilling career. I landed my current job at Who What Wear fresh out of college and promptly focused on upgrading my wardrobe to align with my new role and daily life in an office. But being a recent post-grad in my early 20s, I didn’t have the budget to completely overhaul my closet (nor did I want to necessarily), and so I forced myself to be selective with what I did invest in. I looked for pieces that would be versatile and timeless so they’d live in my closet for years and, above all, ones that felt polished and professional for this new working life.
Looking back, I’m happy to report that I think I did a pretty good job with building out a work wardrobe in my 20s, and I hope that many of these items will also see me through to my 30s and, hey, maybe beyond! Keep scrolling to discover the six staples I recommend investing in.
Just when you think a trend may be gone for good, a buzzy designer or it-girl will breathe new life into it. This statement stands strong as ever, as the current list of what’s cool in fashion pulls from the ’60s to the mid ‘2000s, and no solid prediction of what could come next. Fashion is cyclical, and it’s only natural that things will come back in style. That’s why even when I report on certain pieces being “out”, I always remind the reader that it’s up to them to decide what’s worth keeping or tossing. And while I’ve grown familiar with the pattern of trends coming and going, a few items that came down the 2023 runway collections still took me by surprise.
In light of discussing 2023 fashion, I scoured the runway and identified a few trends I wasn’t expecting to make back around the cycle this year. Y2K is still keeping a strong hold on us with bootcut jeans in the Blumarine and Givenchy collections. (Gen Z has already shown their favoritism toward the style, along with baggy denim.) The ’80s is also asserting influence, with metallic and polka dots leaning far away from their once “tacky” identity. I won’t spoil it all right here, so you’ll just have to keep scrolling to see the rest.
No matter the season or the reigning trends, there is one tried-and-true outerwear staple: the jean jacket. The classic denim piece is great for every season, from chilly summer nights to giving a winter look a cool layered touch. Not only is a jean jacket versatile when it comes to the weather, the same is true for styling possibilities as well—the outfit ideas are endless.
Below are 15 cool jean-jacket outfit ideas that caught my eye on Instagram. Thankfully, there is something for every personal style, plus you’ll get fashion girl-approved insight on how to pair a denim jacket with everything from jeans to dresses. Whether you’re going for a minimalist feel like Tylynn Nguyen in her light wash denim-on-denim look or you want a polished vacation-ready way to wear a white denim jacket (oh, hi, Emma Hoareau!), these looks have got you covered. Keep scrolling to discover your favorite.
Trend queen Bella Hadid is at it again, this time with a 2023 trend that’s actually quite classic. I love it when classic items become trendy, so I was thrilled to see that belts of all kinds flooded the S/S 23 runways. But the best pairing of them all (in my opinion, at least) is jeans with a classic leather belt in brown or black, and Hadid seems to fully agree. She wore not one, but two belts with jeans earlier this week. That’s right, she wore one through the loops of her baggy low-rise jeans and the other below it around her hips. On paper, you wouldn’t think that this styling makes much sense, let alone works, but for what it’s worth, Hadid certainly pulled it off.
If Hadid’s belt stacking makes you want to buy a new belt (I know I do), scroll on to shop classic options similar to the ones she wore. Feel free to wear as many as you’d like at once—it’s probably going to be a thing.
We can’t remember a time when Mary-Kate Olsen wasn’t a style icon. From their early days as Michelle Tanner on Full House to their roles in early aughts classics like New York Minute and Holiday in the Sun, Mary-Kate and her twin sister and co-founder of The Row, Ashley, have always been ones to watch.
Recently, we came across a TikTok video reminding us that Mary-Kate’s go-to sandals are not only minimalist and chic but also delightfully affordable. Available currently on Amazon for just under $40, these versatile wear-with-anything shoes can take your outfit from the city streets to a beachy vacation in, well, a New York minute—the tread is oddly perfect for both locales.

This movie is so action-packed and features incredible special effects. What was your reaction to seeing the completed film for the first time?
Jessica, I was blown away. I almost started crying. For the most part, I was doing green screen for everything. And this was the first time I’ve ever been in a movie like this before. When I saw the final product, I almost got down to my knees and started weeping because I felt so grateful. I can’t believe this is what I am in. I never, in my wildest dreams, could have imagined it to be that. And the way they shot those action sequences and the soundtrack with it, it was art. That’s a combination of not just the CGI and the special-effects team but Jaume, most definitely Jaume. And then our DP, Lawrence Sher, he’s just out of this world. He won an Oscar for Joker. And just going back to the Western references—like Lawrence of Arabia, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly—those big cinematic-scope Westerns were definitely a style inspiration for this movie. And oh my god, did they pull it off.
Okay, let’s switch gears for a minute. Everyone wants to know when season two of Sex/Life is happening. What, if anything, can you tell us about what’s next for Billie?
[The date of] season two of Sex/Life has not been announced yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s happening next year sometime. But I’m not at liberty to say more than that now. All I can say about that is the season this year is a little different. The themes this year are really about hope and second chances—wherever your imagination can go, if you can imagine Billie talking about second chances, [and] what that would mean.
And for me, I’m sitting in this chair right now in front of you. I don’t really know too many people who have this opportunity. To sit here and talk to you about the Netflix series, this huge movie I’m a part of, and to be a female in this position is just really fucking cool to me. At the end of the day, I sit back and think, “Damn—no matter how things pan out, I’m just lucky.” I’m so grateful.
The show was watched by 67 million households in its first four weeks and centers on empowered female sexuality, which we don’t see a lot on TV. Did you know it would be such a hit?
No, not at all. My job as an actor is to tell the highest level of truth for this character. That’s the only thing I can think of—to focus on her emotions, her feelings, who she is. To make sure I’m acting between the lines and to be so full of life and be present and just raw, that was my job. I also had a lot of personal life to draw from at the moment. I’m actually writing a book right now about all of that. But I was floored when I saw the response that all those people tuned in. Again, I sit here with so much humbleness. I guess hard work works. And keep going. Just put your head down, stop and smell the roses every once in a while, but this too shall pass just like everything else. I don’t get too attached to success. I don’t get too attached to failure. I just try to do me every single step of the way, and as long as my kids are provided for and I’m happy and healthy and they are too, that’s all I care about.
Of all the colors in our closet, navy is probably one of the toughest to style. The dark-blue shade doesn’t easily lend itself to being paired with many other colors in terms of the shoes, bags, and accessories we may have lying around. For one, wearing black and navy has long been deemed a style faux pas because of how close the two colors are to one another. While we don’t agree that they should never be worn together, we’ll be the first to admit that it’s a tricky color combo. An even more common style situation to run into is wearing a navy dress and styling it accordingly.
We wanted to take the guessing out of it, so today, we’re showing you exactly which color shoes to wear with each navy dress, from a casual frock to a floor-length formal gown. There’s no denying that Net-a-Porter and Shopbop are two of our favorite online shopping destinations. We scroll through the sites to get general outfit inspiration even when we’re not necessarily shopping. We happen to be fans of how they always style their items in a way that makes us want the entire look.
With that in mind, we took to the sites as well as some of our other favorite retailers and brands to find inspiration for how we’ll be styling our navy dresses from now on. Ahead, see the dress-and-shoe combinations that just always work.
There’s so much going on with Charlize Theron’s newest red-carpet outfit that I couldn’t even fit it all into one headline—yet she still manages to pull it off with aplomb. There’s the bra-exposing sheer top, the very on-trend rosette detailing at the neckline, the voluminous skirt with a hip-high slit, and the knee-high lacy boots. Phew! That’s a lot for one outfit, but leave it to Theron to make it look easy as pie.
Attending the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, The School for Good and Evil, Theron wore a head-to-toe Dior outfit along with jewelry by Anita Ko, Delfina Delettrez, and Grace Lee. Scroll down to see her latest red carpet look and shop the most attainable element of her outfit: fishnet tights.
Is there a chic new cat burglar in town? Nope, that’s just the actress and Pattern Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross’s latest spotlight-stealing look.
Clad in from head to toe in black (gloves and shoes included) and paired with silver Balenciaga sunglasses and the brand’s Hourglass XS Handbag with Rhinestones, Ross posted several shots of the outfit to her Instagram with the caption “it was a future party” to which Ross’s stylist, Karla Welch, commented, “This is the future I’m into.”
We’re not 100% sure what this dynamic fashion duo has up their sleeves as we head into the final month of 2022, but one thing’s for certain: we’re copying this look today, tomorrow, and at all future parties.

I write about great Amazon fashion finds regularly. It’s part of the job. Every month I get to try, test, and give my honest reviews on the coolest pieces I unearth from the deep Amazon jungle! And there’s nothing more satisfying when I find an affordable and chic piece that I then find myself wearing all the time. There are certain Amazon items I’ve picked up over the years that I have never regretted buying—predominantly because they’re versatile, affordable, reliable, and easy to wear on a daily basis.
Today, I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite Amazon basics—from a staple $8 white tee to an effortless black tank dress that I lean on again and again. These are ideal everyday items that are cool, I don’t feel overly precious about, and the best part? They’re all under $50. Keep scrolling for theAmazon basics that never let me down then shop more of my favorites I have my eye on right now.
Summer may be nearing its end, but there’s one thing that will most likely not be changing anytime soon—the pent-up demand for travel. After an extended amount of time spent at home, it’s safe to say people were ready to go somewhere again. That destination depended upon what you were craving. It could have been a buzzy destination, a low-key weekend spot, or a new place to go dance in town. Whatever the case, it’s crystal clear that we wanted to be back outside, and we wanted to dress up again. Nothing speaks more to that desire than two facts: the reports about record-breaking summer air travel and the extensive number of vacation posts from the fashion set. Travel was top of mind for everyone this past summer, but if you couldn’t partake, there’s still a chance this fall. With plane-ticket prices slowly decreasing and the prospect of fun fall trends, there’s no better time to take a trip than now. Of course, traveling now is still a ton of work—knowing where to go, how to stay safe, what to pack, and how to avoid baggage-claim drama. But you don’t have to stress, as we’ve reached out to seven stylish and well-traveled women, who are sharing their packing hacks. They’ve covered all the bases, from the most common packing mistakes to avoid to the fall staples that are worth the space in your suitcase. So fasten your seat belts, readers. It’s time for takeoff…
WHO: Jullie Jeine, content creator and travel enthusiast. How would you describe your style? I would say my style is modern yet classic. I like wearing everyday staple pieces with a twist, such as different textures or interesting shapes and cuts. What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? There are three common packing mistakes, the first being overpacking. One way to avoid this is by knowing where you’re going and what the vibe is and then packing accordingly. The second common mistake is solely packing single-use pieces. For instance, I love prints, but I’ll always make sure to have core pieces that I can style and pair differently throughout my trip. I promise that rewearing the same trousers on different IG posts is totally okay.
And lastly, I’d say not packing a small iron or steamer is a mistake. I can pack the most amazing outfits, but if I wear wrinkly clothes, I won’t have the same confidence level.
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? I swear by doing two things, the first being that I’ll plan my outfits by creating a Pinterest board with realistic outfit ideas. And secondly, I’ll go straight to my closet and check how I can create new looks with the things I already own because buying less and cherishing your clothes really is a superpower. From there, I can choose what I want to treat myself to and invest in.
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
A structured and slightly oversize blazer because you can layer underneath, making you look put-together instantly. Also, a neutral maxi skirt because it’s also elongating and super chic.
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip or pieces you wore and loved?
I am a big fan of textures such as mohair, denim, pleats, faux leather… You name it. So for my next trip, I want to invest in a statement trench coat.
A good pair of baggy jeans just looks effortlessly cool and is the perfect piece to pack for a fall trip.
Lastly, for any fall trip, you need a pair of boots that are made for going all out.I love these square-toe ankle boots from Miista. The khaki-green patent is beautiful, and the stitching details are definitely eye-catching.
WHO: Anna Campbell, content creator. How would you describe your style? I would best describe my style as classy, comfortable, and always current. I have noticed over recent years that my style has become the most minimal than it has ever been. What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? I think the most common mistake when packing is bringing unnecessary items. Sometimes, the more you bring with you, the harder it is to dress. We all have the “ah, I’ll just bring that too” attitude at times. It’s very easy to overthink outfits. So I like to keep it simple and stick to key pieces that can be styled in numerous ways.
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? On my recent weeklong holiday to Greece, I took a carry-on case with me to dodge any luggage problems at the airports. I really shocked myself because I could fit seven evening outfits, seven swimsuits, and numerous cover-ups into one carry-on.
As for footwear, I took with me a small block heel that worked for every evening look and, of course, my trusty Havaianas flip-flops for daytime. This was the best way to travel, and everything I brought was worn!
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
If I was planning a trip for the fall, my go-to piece of packing or wearing while traveling is a blazer, preferably an oversize blazer, as you can layer with a sweater or knitwear. A blazer, for me, doubles up as a layer during the day and is a smart add-on for dinner or evening plans.
I almost always take my longline leather jacket with me for a winter trip. I picked it up in a local vintage store where I live a few years back but have recently seen some online. I find it has such a “Julia Roberts meets Notting Hill” vibe with a beret, and I can’t get enough of it!
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip?
One lustrous item for me is Frankie Shop’s trousers. I love wide-leg trousers paired with an oversize sweater, a fine polo, and boots. It’s probably my favorite, most-worn winter look and a must-have for my next trip.
A more recent purchase I made was the infamous Birkenstock Boston Clog in brown with fur. I have the taupe suede version, and I wear them so often. I knew a second pair would give me a variable option, and they’re the ideal shoe to pack for a winter weekend getaway.
WHO: Richlove Rockson, plus-size fashion content creator. How would you describe your style? My style is very colorful, fun, and chic. I especially love experimenting and trying out different color combos! What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? The biggest packing mistake is not planning your outfits for your vacation and then realizing once you’re there that either the pieces you chose don’t go well together or you don’t know how to combine them.
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? When packing, I always put together full looks before leaving. This is so practical because it saves a lot of time, so while I’m at my destination, I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to wear. I can just throw something on and enjoy being there. I can not sing higher praises for packing this way for any trip.
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
Definitely a black blazer. It’s so versatile and always looks good. Whether you want to go on a night out, explore the city, or go for a walk, it works for any occasion. You can pair it with a skirt, wide trousers, shorts, jeans—there are so many options!
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip?
When it comes to traveling, a tote bag is always useful. I dream of taking this Dior tote bag on my next vacation.
I recently bought a pair of these Versace glasses and, of course, wore them on my vacation in NYC. It’s definitely worth investing in a pair of designer shades for any upcoming trip.
Dreaming of wearing this for a trip to Dubai on New Year’s Eve!!
I’m planning a trip to Paris in a few weeks and have been looking for pieces to pack. I love the simplicity and color of this jumpsuit. It screams, “Take me to Paris.”
WHO: Rabia Cissokho, content creator. How would you describe your style? When I moved from New Zealand to London in 2019, I transitioned from an eclectic style to a more minimal-chic aesthetic with predominantly monochrome with nude tones. I’m definitely a fan of keeping things simple now regarding my personal style. What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? There are quite a few common mistakes when it comes to packing for a trip, the first being leaving it to the night before to pack for your trip. It creates unnecessary stress for yourself and leads to overpacking or not planning outfits properly.
Another common mistake is packing shoesamong the clothing in your suitcase. It’s a big no-no because it can inadvertently ruin your clothing, so investing in packing bags is essential.
And lastly, forgetting to pack essentials like hand sanitizer, lip balm, and hydrating face mask.
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? For me, it’s all about being comfortable but chic at the same time. When rushing around the airport, you want to wear something light and breathable, but also be prepared with a layering option in your carry-on luggage when the airplane takes off.
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
For me, fall and winter are jacket seasons, so a coat is a must if you’re planning a trip during this time. Preferably, you’d opt for an oversize and monochrome version because it can be styled with different outfits easily.
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip or pieces you wore and loved?
I can’t think of a better piece to wear on your flight than a matching knit set. It’s all about glam loungewear.
Comfort is key when traveling, and this chic slipper is the perfect shoe to wear for a long flight.
WHO: Amelia Wilkinson, content creator. How would you describe your style in a sentence or two? I think I’d describe my style as effortless and classic while still being fun and trendy. What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? Packing too much is definitely the most common mistake. I’ve been guilty of doing it myself. I always try to pack about three outfits per day for while I’m away and then end up wearing one thing each day, and the extra clothes end up just being a waste of space.
Another common packing mistake is not folding clothes properly. When I’m going on holiday, I fold and roll everything so neatly so it fits perfectly, and then on the way home, it all just gets thrown in randomly and doesn’t fit, and I inevitably have to spend even more time repacking it all properly. So take your time to pack neatly, and when in doubt, invest in packing cubes.
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? The number one thing I think of when I’m planning a trip is footwear. In summer, I have a bit more leeway with it, as flip-flops and strappy heels take up so little room, but if I’m going away when it’s a bit colder, shoes are bulkier and need to be planned more carefully. I try to be as ruthless as possible and only take shoes that I’ll wear a few times, and I try not to take things that fall into the same category (e.g., one pair of trainers and one pair of boots).
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
I always, always, always pack a good white T-shirt, no matter the season or the destination. They go with everything and are such a good backup if the outfit you’ve planned in your head doesn’t quite work the way you thought it would.
Specifically for autumn and winter trips, I always like to pack a good coat or jacket. Depending on where you’re going, the weather can be unpredictable, and you don’t want to be left unprepared and have to panic-buy one when you’re there.
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip or pieces you wore and loved?
I’m going to Copenhagen this month and have been eyeing up so many pieces to take with me. I’ve managed to steer clear of the cowboy-boot trend so far, but I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m absolutely obsessed with these Ganni ones. I think their height is perfect, and the embroidery is absolutely beautiful. Maybe I’ll pop in to see them in real life when I’m in Copenhagen.
The surge of denim skirts I’ve seen all over my Instagram and TikTok has influenced me to the point where I might have to take the plunge and pack it for my next trip.
WHO: Hafsah Mohammed, content creator. How would you describe your style? I would describe my style as statement-making, elevated, and timeless. What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? Not planning your outfits in advance. It can lead to chronic over- or underpacking and can take away precious time that could be spent enjoying your destination.
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? Before I start packing, I put complete looks together down to the accessories, I take a photo of each look, and then I pack them. That way, I have an outfit planned for every activity. This saves me from overpacking things I won’t need on my trip. It also helps me save time while I’m on vacation.
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
I swear by packing at least one dress (or a jumpsuit) that is the statement piece. But I want to remind everyone that you want to take pieces that will photograph well and are functional for your trip.
I recommend you opt for statement pieces made from comfortable fabrics like cotton, linen, satin, and plissé. It will ensure you look great and feel great throughout your trip.
In the fall and winter, I also recommend you invest in a statement coat to wear on your trip. It will keep you warm as you explore your destination, and you’ll look chic in all your photos.
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip or pieces you wore and loved?
I recently wore this plissé jumpsuit from a small brand, Orire, and loved it. It’s the ideal piece to pack for a vacation because it’s chic and cozy.
I wore a hat from the South African designer Crystal Birch on a recent trip to Turkey, and it was 100% worth the space in the suitcase. A hat can elevate an outfit and protect you from the scorching summer sun simultaneously, so it’s a must-pack for any trip.
WHO: Luena Gama, marketing director and digital creator . How would you describe your style? In my book, more is more! I am a big fan of colors, layers, and accessories. I think my style can be described as bright and eclectic with a hint of cottagecore influence. (I love a good prairie-dress moment.) . What do you think are the most common packing mistakes for vacation? Overpacking always seems to be the bane of holidaygoers. Packing what you like rather than what you’ll actually use is usually what leads to you having too few pairs of underwear and six pairs of shoes you know deep down you won’t wear!
Do you have one hack you swear by when discerning what to wear while traveling? Planning your outfits beforehand and making sure they are versatile is key! Usually, I will pick a color theme or a style I’m into and pick pieces that can be styled in various ways or layered if necessary with that theme in mind. I’ll try every outfit before packing as well so I can make sure that everything fits and feels comfortable.
My best hack, though, is taking pictures of every single outfit before I pack it all. Having reference pictures means you have a cheat sheet of sorts for your best looks, which means you spend less time trying to figure out what to wear and more time enjoying your holiday!
For those of us who are dreaming of planning a trip for the fall and winter, are there any staples you swear by, and why do you swear by them?
Get yourself a flowy maxi dress! A maxi dress is a super-comfortable way of making a statement, allowing you to style it with various pieces.
Once you invest in a great maxi dress, you can style it a few ways—you can go from comfy chic with a pair of trainers to a more glam look by adding a blazer or heels.
Can you share what you’ve been eyeing for your next trip or pieces you wore and loved?
Stine Goya maximalist knits have my heart. I adore the bold colors and effortless maximalism of their winter pieces, and it’s the ideal cardigan to pack for a trip.
A good blazer helps elevate any autumn outfit, and I’ve been loving this staple in warm, earthy tones. Like all great staples, this piece, and any blazer, makes for the ideal piece to pack for upcoming vacations because it’s beloved by many and can be worn anywhere in the world.

Chances are if you have an Instagram account, then celebrity and editorial makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes has popped up in your feed. (She has more than 800,000 followers, so there’s just no way around it.) But trust me—hers is the type of content you want to consume. It’s not your typical “Instagram makeup”—you know, a heavy (heavy) face, bold eyes and brows, and literally no skin texture. Instead, Hughes likes to post photos and videos of herself applying colorful makeup looks that focus on natural skin, with tips sprinkled in for achieving her signature glow. “I like to keep skin fresh with makeup and use dewy products like Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer ($29) and top it off up with a light base.

Question: which pieces in your closet do you predict will still be in style six months from now? There are, of course, staples that will always be stylish, but beyond that, it can be hard to foresee what fashion trends will manage to stay relevant.

EmRata paired a low-rise tiger-print skirt with a tied-up button-down shirt and black leather Khaite boots, proving that knee-length skirts aren’t just for office skirt suits anymore. To avoid the corporate vibe they’re known for, follow EmRata’s lead and choose fun, trend-forward pieces to pair with yours, and maybe avoid the basic pumps.
