Night Outfits: Fit Checks for Bras and Layers

Buying Night Luxe comes down to a few checks you can do from the product page. Everything else is preference.

ARAKII: Hanna Schönberg's Sculptural Dresses and Trousers

ARAKII is the Stockholm label that came out of a stylist's own wardrobe gaps rather than a design house pipeline. Hanna Schonberg spent years as one of Scandinavia's most watched dressers before founding it in the early 2020s and moving the work in house. The result is bold minimalism, which sounds like a contradiction until you see the shoulders.

AGOLDE 90s Pinch Waist: How the Fits Compare

AGOLDE's 90s Pinch Waist keeps showing up because the rise sits high without digging in, and the leg falls straight instead of skinny. The line splits into straight, long and cropped cuts, so the same waist can end at a flat, a boot or a bare ankle. This edit compares those lengths side by side to find which proportion actually holds up once you are standing and walking, not just sitting for a photo.

Everything worth knowing about Nigel Preston, and What She Wore is below, starting with the part that changes what you buy. Check where the waist seam sits on the model against your own proportions.

Purple and Red Outfits: 4 Ways to Wear Them This Fall

Royal purple and cherry red stopped reading as a clash somewhere around New York Fashion Week. These four outfits pair the two shades, from a purple knit over a red pleated skirt to a red leather bomber with purple corduroy. Each look leaves room for black, brown and denim, so none of it feels like a costume.

Hobbs Tarini Dress: Editors' Picks and Similar Dresses

These are the Hobbs Tarini Dress picks worth your time, chosen on construction rather than on how often they appear online. Lining is what stops a cheap fabric reading as cheap.

What Is Lame Fabric? How to Wear It

Lame fabric is cloth woven or knit with metallic thread wrapped around a core of silk, nylon or spandex. Most of it today uses metallised polyester film rather than true metal, which is why it comes in any colour, and the Missoni pieces below are mostly viscose with a metal-fibre thread.

Best Quilted Jackets for Women: Down and Lightweight

A quilted jacket is stitched to hold its fill in place; a quilted down jacket is filled with down. Here is how Barbour, Moncler and Burberry compare.

Phoebe Gates Office Picks: Toteme Tailoring, Knits and Skirts

Phoebe Gates office picks cover how I dress for a room of people, from tailoring that travels to tops, knits and skirts. The edit leans on Toteme.

Toteme

Elin Kling, a Swedish fashion journalist, and Karl Lindman, an art director who had worked with Interview magazine, founded Toteme in New York in 2014, the same year they married, before moving the company back to their native Stockholm in 2016. The name started as Totem until Kling suggested softening it with a final e, and the label built its identity on pared-back Scandinavian tailoring: poplin shirtdresses, boxy bouclé jackets and a signature fringed scarf detail.

Thom Browne

Thom Browne built a new uniform from the old ingredients of American tailoring. He began in New York’s West Village in 2001 with five made-to-measure suits, then made shrunken proportions, cropped trousers and red-white-blue grosgrain part of a very recognizable vocabulary. The clothes are disciplined, but the humor is always close to the surface.

Moncler Grenoble: Vests, Jackets and Mountain Wear

Moncler was founded in 1952 in Monestier-de-Clermont, a mountain village near Grenoble, France, by René Ramillon and André Vincent, originally making sleeping bags and tents for high-altitude workers before down jackets followed. The Grenoble name commemorates 1968, when Moncler outfitted the French downhill ski team at the Grenoble Winter Olympics, and the Grenoble line itself later launched as a dedicated technical collection built for the slopes and apres-ski rather than city streets.

Left On Friday: Swim, Tops and Dresses by Two Lululemon Veterans

Laura Low Ah Kee and Shannon Savage, both longtime Lululemon product executives, launched Left On Friday out of Victoria, Canada and Venice, California in May 2018 after a hot-tub conversation about the lack of swimwear built to actually move in. They developed a proprietary Italian fabric, later expanding from swim into wider activewear, and went on to design uniforms for Canada's national beach volleyball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons: Kawakubo's 1993 Line

Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons launched in 1993 as a more wearable, accessible women's diffusion line from Rei Kawakubo, sitting alongside Homme rather than the experimental main collection. This edit tracks how far the label pushes a plain shirt, jacket or trouser through fraying, peplum panels and exaggerated volume before it stops reading as basic.

Baobab Swimwear and Dresses: A Bogota Label Born From Scraps

Baobab swimwear began in Bogotá around 2015, when law student Isabella Espinosa started sewing bikinis from leftover fabric scraps between classes. I go through the tops, dresses, swim, trousers and skirts the label makes today.

Missoni Knitwear: Dresses, Swim and Cover-Ups by the House

Missoni knitwear began with a small workshop Ottavio and Rosita Missoni started in Gallarate, Italy, in 1953. I go through the dresses, swim, trousers, skirts and knits.

Minimalism That Actually Lasts

St. Agni: The Byron Bay Label by Lara and Matt Fells

Lara and Matt Fells, a married couple with retail backgrounds rather than design degrees, started their label in Byron Bay, Australia, in 2014 with a maxed-out credit card and a handful of leather tote bags. The brand found its signature in woven mules introduced around its third year, pieces that reportedly sold out on repeat, before it grew into a full ready-to-wear range still designed and headquartered in that same coastal town.

Maje Is French Girl Dressing Without The Cliche

Maje is from France, a French contemporary label that sits between high street and designer. I look at how it builds its whole proposition around knitwear, from maxis and minis to the cardigan.

What Is Crepe Fabric

Learn how crimped yarn gives crepe its grainy hand, how that affects drape and what to choose when you want structure.

Silk Or Satin: Which Blouse Lasts

Silk or satin blouse: the fiber sets the feel, while the weave controls how the surface reflects light and releases a crease. I go through silk blouses and shirts, satin and charmeuse, and why shine shows every crease first.

How To Wear A Blazer To Dinner

Learn how fabric, hem length and the layer underneath turn a tailored jacket from office uniform into a convincing dinner outfit.
