A guide to UGG clogs, from the Goldenstar and Goldenglow styles to Tazz and Tasman slip ons and the Otzo and Enwrap shapes. I walk through how UGG got here and which pairs I would reach for first.
White Heels for a Different Kind of Neutral
White heels bring a crisp note to a dark trouser, a simple dress, or a weekend jean. I look at white pumps, strappy sandals, and white kitten heels as small changes in proportion rather than a reason to rebuild an outfit.
The Two-Tone Ballet Flat: Black Toe Caps and Soft Beige Leather

How I Wear Samba Sneakers Beyond the Pitch
The samba is my starting point for denim, skirts and sharper trousers, with color doing most of the work. I look at the adidas Originals family through its football roots, then choose a pair that gives the rest of my outfit room to breathe.
Brown Sneakers: From Icy Football Pitches to Mocha Mousse
Brown sneakers covers suede, leather, retro runners, low-profile pairs and platforms in every shade from espresso to cognac. I keep thinking about how a shoe made for snowy pitches became the color everyone wants in October.
G.H. Bass loafers: How a Norwegian Slip-On Made Room for a Penny
G.H. Bass loafers trace a path from the company's 1876 start in Wilton, Maine, through the 1936 Weejuns and their Ivy League afterlife, then into lug soles, tassels, suede, and color. I would begin with the black Whitney, then choose how much sole and ornament I want.
Prada Boots for Women: Ankle, Knee-High and Monolith, Sorted by Shape
Prada boots women actually reach for come in three families: the ankle boots and booties, the knee-high and tall pairs, and the lug-soled Monolith, biker and snow styles. This edit sorts them by shape and tells you how I would wear each one.

A first-person guide to Gucci loafers women can wear from the office to the weekend, from the Horsebit originals to flat backless mules and platform and lug-sole versions. It sorts forty pairs by shape so you know which one fits the way you walk.
adidas Ballet Flats: The 1964 Olympic Sneaker Now Wearing Ankle Ties
These adidas ballet flats cover the Taekwondo Mei, the Tokyo Mary Jane and the rest of the three stripe hybrids, plus ballet sneakers from other sport brands and mesh and satin flats. I started with the Olympic history because it explains why a trainer looks this slim.

Hunter Shoes For Wet Days
Rain boots stopped being a countryside object and became a city one. Hunter shoes are the reason, since the brand spent a decade turning a Scottish agricultural boot into something worn deliberately rather than out of necessity. This edit takes the tall rain boots first and then the shorter waterproof shapes.

What a $1,290 heel gets you that a $150 one does not. A real comparison guide to Revolve's heel edit across every price point.
Two Nights Out of Town
The weekend away has quietly become its own dressing category. Remote work untethered the trip from the calendar, so the two-night bag now has to cover a train, a dinner and a muddy walk without a costume change. This edit sorts that problem by what you actually reach for, category by category.
The Suede Edit: Fall's Defining Texture
The most exceptional suede of the season, across boots, outerwear and bags, judged on the density of the nap and the quality of the finishing.
