Relaxed Precision: Draped, Lightweight Tailoring for Real Life
Relaxed precision is tailoring that loses its stiffness through drape and lighter construction. I picked pieces like the Norma Kamali 1980s bomber mini dress and the DIA Tullulah maxi dress.
Polo Tops for Spring: Cropped, Rugby and Knit Polos
The collared knit comeback
Loose Knit: Open-Weave Summer Knits in Ecru and Oat
Loose knit summer pieces are open-weave sweaters and cardigans in warm ecru and oat, cropped or oversized, worn over swimwear. Here are the ones I would reach for.
Lululemon Leggings Price: What Leggings Really Cost
Lululemon leggings price is a range rather than a number, and the gap between the low and high end is mostly materials and finishing. I go through tailored, soft and relaxed options to show what the money buys.
Hobbs Kiera Dress: Check the Waist Seam Before You Buy
For a Hobbs Kiera dress, check where the waist seam sits on the model against your own waist before you buy. I did not find the Kiera itself here, so I picked easy daytime dresses from other labels.
Fall Coats: Wool Wrap Coats and Capes Worth Wearing
Fall coats have stopped being the thing you take off at the door and become the outfit itself. I picked wool wrap coats, capes and jackets that carry the whole look.
Fall Trends: Coats, Knitwear, Skirts, Shoes and Jewelry
Fall trends used to arrive one at a time, and now they show up all at once, from funnel-neck jackets to sweaters with personality. What connects them is a move away from the anonymous neutrals of recent seasons toward clothes with texture, pattern and a point of view. This edit rounds up what Moda Operandi's stylists are spotting on every It Girl, grouped so you can pick the idea that suits you.
Dresses And Skirts: Editors' Picks
The dresses and skirts worth buying are chosen on construction, not on how often they appear online. These are my Lovewave picks, with notes on which are worth the money.
Reformation Alternatives: Dresses and Separates Worth Switching To
Reformation alternatives work best when you match the shape and the material instead of hunting for a copy. I ranked eight labels, starting with Rouje for day dresses and including Sézane.
Bridal After Party Outfits: Mini Dresses, Clutches and Platforms
Bridal after party outfits are fun, flirty and playful, made for the night after the wedding. I picked mini dresses, a crystal clutch and satin platform sandals.
Woven Textures: Crochet Knits, Raffia and Macrame Pieces
Crochet, raffia, and crafty wovens
What's New from Chloé's Winter 2026
Chloé Winter 2026 brings lace-trimmed ready-to-wear, Paddington and Marcie bags in new leathers, tailored jackets and shearling-lined boots. I sort the new arrivals by clothing, bags, jackets and shoes.
Why are Midi Skirts So In?
Midi skirts are so in because the length works on a weekday, as these Zimmermann knit and lace-trimmed pieces show. I go through the wool, cashmere and lace styles I would wear on an ordinary weekday.
What to Wear in Madrid?
What to wear in Madrid: pick one anchor piece, keep the palette to two colors, and let the shoes set how formal it reads. I sort the anchor pieces and the details that decide the outfit, with tops from Tanya Taylor and Leo Lin.
Skirts in Every Length: Mini and Midi Styles, Lucky in Love
Skirts in every length, from minis to midis, sit in one edit. I start with Lucky in Love, including the High Waist Pima Skirt and the Motion Pleated Skirt.
The Argyle Jumper Is Prep Without the Costume
An argyle jumper now reads as a considered pattern rather than a prep reference, especially in the right color and gauge. I go through the pattern, the color, where it comes from and why gauge is the quality tell.
Slightly Oversized Outfits: Looser Fits That Look Intentional
Slightly oversized outfits rely on proportion: looser fits that feel intentional, not borrowed. I let the proportions do the work so the rest of the outfit stays simple.
Sharp Casual: Crisp Polos, Chinos and White Sneakers
Sharp casual sits between dressed up and laid back, with clean cuts and everyday pieces. I look at crisp chinos, fitted polos, simple watches and white leather sneakers.
How to Wear Sequins: One Reflective Piece Is Enough
To wear sequins well, ration them: pick one reflective piece that gives a plain look a pulse. I look at Gucci pieces, dresses and gowns, and where one sequin piece is enough.
Satin and Silk Skirts and Sets: Fluid, Luminous Pieces
Satin and silk skirts and sets drape fluidly and catch the light with a luminous finish. I pulled skirts, sets and satin layers like a cropped trench and a blazer.
Salt Coat: A Lightweight Unstructured Overcoat for Summer
A lightweight unstructured overcoat in washed ecru or pale stone worn over the simplest possible summer base — a white tee, straight trousers, leather sandals. The men's outerwear editorial for the transitional days of May when it's warm enough to not need a coat but you wear one anyway because it looks right.
Summer Dresses: Zimmermann Maxis, Midis and Minis
Summer dresses that do the most are the ones with a clear shape and one zip, ready to wear out the door. I go through long and easy styles and midis, with Zimmermann leading the way.
Open Edit The Icon Trousers
Open Edit The Icon trousers are cut long and full through the leg in twill, a very different garment from the stretch ponte pant they replaced. I look at the wide leg, cigarette and flare cuts in the same twill.
Lululemon Leggings Alternatives: Ranked by Shape and Material
The best Lululemon leggings alternative matches the shape and the material rather than copying the look. I rank the pairs worth switching to, from training leggings to layers for after.
