Clio Peppiatt: Embroidered Eveningwear and Beaded Minis

Clio Peppiatt makes eveningwear that treats embroidery as both craft and mischief. Hand-drawn motifs, dense beading and tiny dresses turn party dressing into something closer to a portable art project. The gowns bring the drama, but the smaller pieces keep the conversation moving.

Clean Unclean: Lived-In Denim, Undone Layers and Easy Tops

The clean unclean look is the "I woke up like this" aesthetic: messy buns, undone layers, lived-in denim and barely-there tinted moisturizer. It is intentionally imperfect, and I picked tops, jeans and a denim jacket that get there.

Christopher John Rogers Dresses: Saturated Pattern, Big Volume

Christopher John Rogers dresses bring saturated pattern and sculptural volume to occasion dressing. I look at the gowns and maxi dresses that enter first, from ramie organza to striped satin-crepe.

Cashmere Sweaters: What Makes Them Last and How to Wear One

Softness worth knowing how to spot

Cashmere Collection: Cardigans, Sweaters and Knit Skirts

This cashmere collection covers Quince crewnecks, Guest In Residence cardigans and polos, and a brushed White & Warren fringe mini skirt. I kept it to soft pieces you can wear on repeat.

Best Designer Mini Dresses

The best designer mini dresses are the ones that understand proportion. A short hem is already a statement, so the successful version balances it with a clear shape, a deliberate surface or one detail worth noticing, rather than piling on everything at once. I use three tests: ca

Boatneck Tops

One neckline, fifteen brands

Boardwalk Outfits: Easy Vacation Looks for Walking All Day

Boardwalk outfits should be comfortable enough for walking and exploring all day, like a J.Crew crinkle side-tie dress. I put together vacation-ready looks that stay styled from morning to night.

Blazé Milano Blazers: Founded by Three Former Elle Editors

Blaze Milano started in 2013 when three former Elle editors, Corrada Rodriguez d'Acri, Delfina Pinardi and Maria Sole Torlonia, decided no brand had ever built its entire range around one garment: the blazer. Every piece is still made in Italy, and the idea carries into dresses, skirts and knitwear built around the same sharp shoulder line.

Black Mini Skirt

Three Ways

Best Designer Jackets

Best Designer Jackets are the layer that can rescue an otherwise ordinary outfit, but only when the jacket has a clear point of view. I look for a strong shoulder, a useful closure, or a material that changes the mood of simple trousers and a shirt. Leather and suede need to feel

Belted Energy: Belts and Cinched Jackets for the Waist

Waist belts and cinched jackets are the quickest way to change a whole look. I picked belts from J.Crew's classic Italian leather to the Aureum Collective No. 2.

All White Plus Size Outfit, Styled Three Ways

An all white plus size outfit works when only one thing is doing the talking. I show three ways to wear it, built on anchor pieces like a cashmere turtleneck and white tanks, then layers and outerwear.

70s Inspired Outfits: Paisley, Pirate Blouses and Bell Bottoms

70s inspired outfits mix swirling paisley, flowy pirate blouses and statement bell bottoms. I pulled pieces like the Helsa Poet Blouse and the superdown Colson Pant Set.

Vintage Silk Pants: How to Buy Them Secondhand

Vintage silk pants are the most useful strange thing I own, and I now own more of them than jeans. I cover how to buy them secondhand, from loud prints to getting wide-leg silk right.

Vacation Dresses, Skirts, and Swimwear

Vacation dresses, skirts and swimwear for the tropics, from Zimmermann bikinis to a Cult Gaia shoulder bag. I gathered the bikinis, dresses and bags I would pack for a tropical trip.

Trending Dresses: Maxi, Midi and Lace Pieces From Designers

Trending dresses lead this edit, from lace and strapless maxis to floral minis and belted midis. I also added designer pieces like a Simone Rocha sweater and a Saint Laurent tank.

Midi Dress Length: How Hem Height and Shoes Change the Look

A versatile hem, made easier to style across everyday plans and dressier moments.

Jackets Edit: Leather, Cropped, Shearling and Suede Styles

The jackets edit is about the layer that changes the entire sentence of an outfit. I look for a jacket with a clear length, a shoulder that can take a sweater underneath, and a material that gives the silhouette a reason to exist. Leather can be strict, suede can be softer, cropp

The Funnel Neck Jacket Edit

A funnel neck jacket has a high stand collar that does the work of a scarf, in styles from cropped leather to suede. I sorted 36 jackets and coats with one, from leather and suede to everyday cuts.

Embroidered Clothing: Loewe and Embroidery Instead of a Logo

Embroidered clothing can stand in for a logo, and Loewe does it on jackets, clutches and jeans. I go through embroidered dresses, skirts, tops, bags, shoes and denim.

Soft Surroundings: Soft Colors and Loose, Delicate Pieces

Soft surroundings dressing means soft colors, delicate fabrics and loose silhouettes designed for understated elegance. I gathered knit tops, dresses and blouses from Ronny Kobo, Toteme and DÔEN.

Slip Dresses in Satin and Silk

Slip dresses in satin and silk keep the silhouette minimal, from a washable silk Quince slip to a draped satin midi. I picked the ones that make simplicity look deliberate.

Sequin Partywear: What To Buy

For sequin partywear, check the lining first: it is what stops a cheap fabric reading as cheap. I go through easy daytime dresses and the ones dressed up after six.
