This $25 Amazon Romper Is My Go-To Athleisure Outfit

I've been in a fashion slump lately. Despite how much I love cute clothing, I haven't felt like putting together complicated outfits, so I've been relying on a few key pieces within my wardrobe and wearing them on repeat. One of the products I've had on heavy rotation is the Amazon Fanuerg Ribbed Sleeveless Romper ($25). I've been seeing rompers everywhere lately, and they've basically become the unofficial uniform of "hot girl walks." Brands like Aritizia, Alo Yoga , and even Lululemon have recently come out with their very own sporty-looking rompers, and while I wish I could buy them all, I'm on a strict fashion budget. I'm always on the hunt for items that are of great quality and at an even better price point, so when I saw that this Amazon romper with over 500 five-star reviews was only $25, and it looked similar to other rompers triple the price, I added it to my cart immediately. Ever since I received it in the mail, I've been w...

How to Wear Mom Jeans, According to Street Style Pros

Fashion is currently experiencing a revival of past trends, from '70s-style flared pants to Y2K-inspired tops . Not surprisingly, retro mom jeans are also loved for their wearability and comfortable silhouette. With a high rise and semibaggy leg, mom jeans present an alternative to the popular boyfriend jeans and consistently deliver elevated, off-duty style. Worn with a denim jacket , for example, they make a strikingly cool daytime uniform. You can also work them with your favorite bodysuit for a sleek night-out look. While mom jeans lean on the casual side, they can also easily be incorporated into dressier looks. Teamed with a satin blouse and matching kitten heels, a dark-wash pair will exude effortless sophistication at the office or on a date. Or try layering them under a blazer and finish with low mules for a polished ensemble. While mom jeans typically come in solid colors with minimal details, this season abounds with vintage, ripped, edgy, and all-around-cool option...

How to Clean Your Sneakers, According to Shoe-Brand Experts

Cleaning your sneakers is an easy summer DIY project to procrastinate and yet one of the most worthwhile to take to task if you want to show off an impressive shoe collection . Prime essentials to have on hand in order to get the job done include a scrub brush with bristles, a Magic Eraser, the proper cleaning solution for the right fabric and finish, and a smaller brush for spot-cleaning areas. While you may have heard myths that toothpaste, vinegar, and bleach are useful products, they're actually acidic enough to affect the durability of your sneakers , according to the experts we spoke with at shoe brands like Kenneth Cole, Soludos, Gola, Superga , Puma , and Margaux. Some people might say they've had luck tossing their sneakers in the washing machine, but water can potentially damage the integrity of the cushion in your shoes, so this method should be limited to minimal styles with thin, flexible uppers made from mesh - and even then, you should opt for a delicate, col...

Zara Just Debuted Its Fall Fashion Arrivals - Shop Our Favorites

With summer winding down, we can't help but start daydreaming of fall - the weather, the seasonal activities, and of course, even the fashion. Given the style trends we've seen so far this year, we have somewhat of an idea of what to expect come fall. From statement shoes and cozy knitwear to matching sets and splurge-worthy handbags , the resurgence of '90s fashion and other trends of the aughts is likely to continue on well into autumn. And to further confirm our style predictions, Zara just debuted its new fashion arrivals for August, which offer a major (and chic!) glimpse into everything we'll be filling our wardrobes with this fall. Hint: the selection is (unsurprisingly) perfection. Zara is one of our go-to shopping destinations year-round - and for good reason. The retailer is one of the few fashion brands that manages to infuse our love for trendy, seasonal styles into affordable clothing pieces. Whether you are looking to create a capsule work wardrobe or...

10 Disabled Fashion Content Creators to Follow on Instagram

Disabled people form part of the world's biggest minority , but despite the community's large size, these individuals are often shut out from the spotlight in their respective industries. The fashion industry, with its luxury runways and coveted exclusivity, is particularly guilty. "I just love showing people that just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't enjoy fashion just as much as everyone else," Sophie Bradbury-Cox , a disabled fashion content creator from the UK, said in her Instagram Story. Bradbury-Cox, an ardent fan of all things rainbow and leopard print, is one of many disabled influencers across the globe making strides for the visibility of disabled people in fashion, just like models Emily Barker and Aaron Rose Philip , who have worked with brands Moschino , Collina Strada, and Maisie Wilen during Fashion Week. "There should be more than one disabled person in each show. Designers should include disabled people as a ...

Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter Beyoncé is letting everyone know that her Telfar bags are front and center in her closet. As fans obsessed over the hypnotic lyrics and captivating dance beats on her latest album, " Renaissance ," the final verse of the entire album is being praised as a love letter to Black designers and the timeless Telfar bag . In the last song, "Summer Renaissance," Beyoncé seductively preaches her love for European brands and life's luxuries. "Versace, Bottega, Prada, Balenciaga / Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, collect your points, Beyoncé," she sings. "So elegant and raunchy, this haute couture I'm flaunting / This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them sh*ts in storage / I'm in my bag." It's a simple line, but it speaks volumes. Beyoncé was first seen carrying the "Bushwick Birkin" last summer when she waltzed through the streets of New York City toting the medium white shopping bag from the Black-ow...

Olivia Rodrigo Reunites With the "HSMTMTS" Cast in a Sheer Cutout Minidress

Following her successful "Sour" Tour run, Olivia Rodrigo is back on the red carpet. On Wednesday evening, the Grammy-winning pop star stopped by the "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" season three premiere in Burbank, CA, reuniting with her costars, including her rumored ex Joshua Bassett . Rodrigo, who reprises her role as Nini in the new season, opted for her usual Y2K-inspired style in an all-black outfit. She posed in a Nensi Dojaka number with a unique flower cutout and a mesh panel across the waist, styling the one-strap minidress with sheer black tights and sky-high Mary Jane platforms. For accessories, she once again gravitated toward nostalgic pieces, including a leather collar-like choker from Dior, earrings from the designer reading "DIOR FOR PEACE," and a mix of chunky rings. Bassett's look happened to complement Rodrigo's, as he rocked a satin cropped blazer and matching trousers over a simple black tank. From her s...

Zoey Deutch's Vintage Moschino Dress Is Quite Literally Out of This World

Zoey Deutch is bringing designer style to the Milky Way. On July 27, the actor stepped out in New York City for a screening of her upcoming Hulu movie, "Not Okay," wearing a vintage Moschino dress that featured none other than our galaxy. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart , the ankle-length dress featured a cowl neck and a slit up the back of the dress for optimal walking purposes. Behind the various shades of blue are images of stars, moons, planets, comets, and all the things that make up our solar system. If you look close enough, you might even be able to see the big dipper. While vintage styles seem to be all over red carpets and celebrity closets these days, Deutch's starry dress came from Jennie Walker - aka JennieGirl's Closet - and her vast range of vintage Moschino looks. It's the first time Deutch has plucked a throwback designer style from Walker's arsenal, and dare we say it was out of this world? For the appearance ahead of the movie release, De...

Dua Lipa Wears a Plunging Halter Top With Hidden Butterflies

After a brief hiatus from her "Future Nostalgia" tour to launch her new Puma collection , walk the Balenciaga runway , and attend a friend's wedding , Dua Lipa is back on the road. She recently posted a selfie from her Montreal stop outfitted in the perfect going-out look. While the " Potion " singer is a noted fan of the Y2K fashion trend , her latest outfit felt decidedly '70s. Lipa's House of Sunny halter top features a plunging neckline and a fitted bodice. It's splashed with a retro psychedelic print complete with a few hidden butterflies, Lipa's "logo" of choice. The 26-year-old philanthropist styled her halter top with Re/Done cutoffs with a distressed hem, cinched at the waist with a black leather belt. She piled on the accessories, choosing a Shana Cave crystal-cut peridot and amethyst gemstone necklace, square-shaped aviator reading glasses, a Cartier watch, and silver rings. Lipa completed her outfit with a metallic sho...

12 Unique Ways to Style Paper Bag Pants For Summer

When described out loud, the paper bag pants trend sounds daunting. The silhouette is usually gathered at the waist, cinched by a sash, belt, or button, with a loose-fitting leg that's either tapered at the ankle or pooling to the ground. Perhaps that's why we continue to reach for our straight mom jeans or basic skinnies - out of pure ease and the assurance that we already know how to manage such proportions. But the roomy, high-rise paper bag style is not to be knocked, especially since it accentuates the waist and creates a look with a long, lean shape. If you choose a design that's smartly tailored in a quality fabric, you'll quickly replace your fitted, cropped trousers with the paper bag pant, which is available in every material from free-flowing silk to satin or linen for a bit more structure. Ahead, we recommend the perfect outfits for centering around these seemingly polarizing slacks and provide you with a few favorite pairs on the market that have won ...

J Lo Honeymoons With Ben Affleck in a Sheer Blouse and Low-Rise Jeans

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been enjoying a romantic honeymoon in Paris , where they also celebrated Lopez's 53rd birthday with their children . Leaving the Costes Hotel for a shopping trip to Sephora , Lopez showed off a '70s-inspired look not unlike the outfits she's worn while visiting her husband on his film set. The " Marry Me " singer reached for all the essentials: a sheer pink pussy-bow blouse tucked into a pair of low-rise flares with floral embroidery at the back pocket. The jeans revealed her nude Andrea Wazen PVC platforms, which she's sported numerous times on the trip . Lopez's accessories - round Chloé Carlina sunglasses and a suede studded YSL bag - also fit her retro aesthetic. She finished her look with a pair of diamond stud earrings and her engagement ring and wedding band stack. Affleck, 49, coordinated with his new wife in neutrals, including a white button-down shirt styled over a simple tee with gray slacks and Gol...

We can always count on Vanessa Hudgens to deliver scroll-stopping swimsuit moments on Instagram, . The "Tick, Tick... Boom!" star recently wore a red bikini on a beach trip with friends, and naturally, she staged a full-fledged photo shoot to show off the design. Hailing from Naked Wolfe, a fashion brand known for selling futuristic platform shoes , her cherry-colored two-piece featured an underwire top adorned with a diamond-encrusted hook spelling out the company's name, right where the cups meet. The thong-style bottoms are cut super high on the sides to reveal her hip tattoo and showcase a metal wolf emblem on the back. Hudgens piled on the accessories for her beach day, sporting a pair of metallic Givenchy sunglasses, a gold Cartier Love bracelet, several rings, an anklet, and a silver belly-button ring. She styled her hair in a messy Pamela Anderson-style bun and struck poses on the cliffside with pals Vince Rossi and GG Magree. The " High School Musica...

Keke Palmer's Dress Takes the Thigh Slit to a New, Embellished Extreme

Keke Palmer's press-tour style streak continues. The actor turned heads in a black strapless gown at the Berlin premiere of her film "Nope" on July 26. Her dress featured a prominent thigh slit that revealed the entire length of her left leg and was embellished with mirrored plexiglass pieces arranged to resemble a tire track. She kept her accessories relatively low-key, finishing her look with jeweled ankle-strap sandals, diamond earrings, white eyeliner, and waist-length box braids. Palmer's daring dress hails from David Koma's prefall 2022 collection, which the star also repped for her recent Glamour cover story . The range includes a wealth of edgy designs featuring flame motifs, crystal crocodiles, and the aforementioned tire-track pattern.

13 Printed Midi Dresses That Deserve a Spot in Your Closet

Midi dresses are arguably one of the most essential styles to have on hand for summer. From a morning brunch to an afternoon beach date, a midi dress really is the ultimate daytime frock - perfect for helping you to create a lightweight, hassle-free outfit that will still keep you looking fresh through even the warmest summer days (including those recent heat waves). And when it comes to playful summer fashion, we're convinced that perhaps the only thing better than a midi dress, is a printed midi dress in particular. We love a good pattern as much as the next fashionista - especially if it helps to elevate an otherwise breezy or minimalistic style with a more statement-making touch. So it's no surprise that we're equally as taken with the bold elegance provided by a chic, printed midi dress. Spend a few minutes browsing the internet for one of these styles and you'll find, evidently, that there are a lot of printed midi dress options to shop at the moment - wit...

Teyana Taylor's Joggers Come With Hip Cutouts and the Lowest Rise

When it comes to the low-rise trend , there are no rules. A day after Julia Fox was spotted in the streets of New York wearing leather pants with possibly the lowest rise ever seen, Teyana Taylor offered her own take on the polarizing look. Posing in the middle of a desert, the singer and dancer rocked cargo joggers with hip cutouts that dipped into her thighs. Taylor paired the affordable PrettyLittleThing pants with an ubercropped white tee, drawing attention to her incredibly toned midsection. As her striking trousers made a statement, she kept her accessories simple with gray-and-white Nike sneakers, a bucket hat, and a necklace. Though the daring silhouette has become somewhat of a signature look for the musician, her latest outfit reached a new extreme. At the Billboard Music Awards in May, Taylor wore a black Skims bra top with thin straps to complement her low-rise leather pants from Givenchy , exposing her thong strings. She also wore a notable pair of leather pants that s...

Keke Palmer's " Nope " press tour is turning out to be a parade of fashionable looks that command attention at every turn. Most recently, the actress flew to Rome, Italy, for the movie premiere at The Space Cinema Moderno and made a sophisticated entrance in Prada . She donned a bright-yellow strapless gown made of lustrous silk and finished with a floor-grazing train for maximum visual impact. Keeping the focus strictly on the dress, Palmer forwent a necklace and bracelet, choosing instead to decorate her arms with dramatic black opera gloves. Soft-glam makeup and a pink lip rounded out her formal attire. Her vivid color palette is consistent with earlier press ensembles, most notably at "The Today Show" in New York City. Palmer turned the Big Apple into her catwalk on July 21 when she modeled pieces pulled from Christopher John Rogers's prefall 2022 collection. She styled a classic neon-green trench coat with matching tailored trousers, embracing one of ...

Tina Knowles-Lawson Says 5-Year-Old Rumi "Has an Amazing Sense of Style"

With parents like Beyoncé and JAY-Z , it's no surprise Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter are already style stars in the making. Tina Knowles-Lawson recently chatted with Oprah Daily about Ivy Park's latest collection, Ivytopia , and shared how her grandchildren contribute to the brand. "They are little fashionistas, and they have definite determination about what they like and what they don't like." "They are little fashionistas, and they have definite determination about what they like and what they don't like," the businesswoman and fashion designer said in the July 21 interview. "When Beyoncé's doing the first samples, they get them, and some things they love, and some things you can tell are not their favorite. Kids like things that are comfortable. They don't want anything that's scratchy or too tight or high around the neck." Considering 10-year-old Blue and 5-year-olds Rumi and Sir have starred in multiple Ivy Park c...
