Uptowns. Jordans. Foams. Classics. Maxes. Gazelles. Stan Smiths. In today's world, these aren't just sneakers - they're cultural legends. These iconic kicks helped elevate what began as a daily aspect of life for Brown and Black folks living in inner cities to a global culture. But as the masses have embraced sneaker culture and streetwear, the roots and the people at the heart of the movement tend to get overlooked. In their latest collaboration with reggaetón superstar and legend Yandel , Ewing Athletics and Product Line Manager, Jonas Guerrero are trying to change that, by paying homage to a community that has worked alongside the Black American community in elevating sneakers to becoming the art form that they are today: Latines. "As a Latino, I've always been big on [shining] light on our community. I want to tell Latin stories," the 37-year-old designer tells POPSUGAR. Telling Latine stories through sneakers is a sentiment that Guerrero admits, that ...

When it comes to comfortable pants, you shouldn't have to sacrifice comfort for style. We're making it a goal to invest in more pants and trousers that are not only bearable to wear all day long but also look good. We love the look of a cool suit and also want to step up our game from spending the majority of the last couple of years in leggings and sweatpants. But putting looks together can feel overwhelming at times, so if you're not quite sure where to start, we'd recommend any of these 13 pairs. Thankfully, a lot of our favorite selections are also marked down - leading you to affordable must haves that will become mainstays and wardrobe essentials in your closet. In particular, Everlane's striped trousers (sleek enough for brunch with friends or running errands when paired with sneakers) are 60 percent off, along with high-waisted flare pants you can wear to the office. Finally, if you're looking for a pair of pants that are more elevated - boasting l...

Few shoes have dominated the mainstream more - at least over the last decade - than Nike Air sneakers. While the shoe silhouette certainly isn't new, the nostalgic look and inimitably comfortable design is what's made the sneaker a generational mainstay. In fact, it's even garnering a younger audience of millennials and Gen Z'ers alike who have leaned more into sneaker culture than ever before over the last few years. Nike Air Force 1 shoes, in particular, have evolved into something of a wardrobe staple - and not just for their classic design and comfortable build. The real appeal of Nike Air sneakers is in their styling versatility. Unlike shoes before them, these sneakers seamlessly blend aesthetic with functionality, combining everything that we love about an everyday shoe with the practicality and support of Nike's signature Air technology. You can wear them out to brunch with a dress , to the airport in leggings, out on a date night, or even while you'...

The 2020 racial reckonings heightened awareness across many industries, especially fashion, ushering in a new era where BIPOC designers were supported and given the voice they deserve. This push paved the way for more Black-owned brands to emerge on the scene, and one newcomer has managed to set themselves apart from the rest - Maya Winston . In just one year of business, the Jamaican-born designer, now based in New York City, has created a luxury accessory label that's known for its viral handbags uniquely crafted in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East, including their small leather tote, most popularly worn by Angela Simmons, Tia Mowry, and Remy Ma. "It's just those Jamaican roots; we can make anything fashionable." Winston has since catapulted into the luxury bag market with a brand identity that's just as rich as the quality of his pieces. At 11, he migrated with his family to the US, where he learned firsthand how to sew from his mother, a sought-af...

Recently, I've noticed a TikTok trend where people share items on their holiday wishlist , and the Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace ($60, originally $70) is a frequent favorite. Once I discovered that the Elisa necklace secured the number one spot on Amazon's list of top 100 bestselling jewelry pieces, I knew I had to try it. Opting for a silver chain and the "iridescent drusty" colored pendant, a sparkly grayish stone that I knew would complement any outfit, I added it to my cart. Below, I'll break down everything you need to know about it and why it's an ideal last-minute gift . What I Love About the Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace The Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace arrived pre-packaged in a branded gift box, topped with a ribbon tied into a bow. The presentation felt luxurious, so it's no surprise that so many people in the reviews section mentioned receiving it as a gift or giving it. It basically comes fully wrapped, perfect for stuff...

We love a good dupe as much as the next person, but sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself to something designer. We all deserve to be spoiled every now and then, and for fashion-lovers like ourselves, that comes in the form of a worthwhile designer find. Before you jump to the thought of thousand-dollar handbags and belts that read Gucci, it's important to be aware that there is such a thing as affordable designer gifts (gasp!), and we're here to prove it. From wallets to bracelets, jewelry to sunglasses, bags to scarves, and more everyday items, numerous high-end picks can fall well within your shopping budget - all while still giving the illusion of something luxurious and high-end. We've taken care of the hard part and shopped out some items from name brands like Chanel, Le Labo, YSL, and more, so all you have to do is order, wrap, and gift them (or simply keep something for yourself). The stylish selections of designer products we gathered are all under $...

With winter in full swing, we now have yet another task to add to our shopping agenda these days - and it involves finding a coat that's stylish, warm, and (ideally!) also durable enough to still be something we can wear well into next year, too. Regardless of where you live or how brutal the winter weather can get, finding a coat to sport during the year's coldest months can be daunting - and often, pretty costly, too. Fortunately, there's Amazon. And as with most of our shopping antics, we always know that we can turn to the retailer for finding stylish yet still affordable fashion pieces, from waterproof boots to cozy and affordable sweaters for the new season. And this year, winter coats and jackets are no exception! Cold gusts of wind and brisk temperatures are at our doorsteps - and naturally, we need to be prepared. If you aren't fully stocked up on cute coats and jackets for the upcoming season, now is the time to get shopping. Already, Amazon has built a ...

No matter the season, sunglasses are a staple accessory that completes our every look. Whether your drawers are overflowing with sunnies of every shape, style, and color, or you've been relying on the same trusty pair for a decade, we can all unanimously agree that they're both stylish and practical. According to the American Optometric Association , a good pair of sunglasses is key to preventing eye and vision problems caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. According to their guidelines, an effective pair should snugly fit the face, block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays and boast lenses with consistent coloration. However, not all sunglasses on Amazon may meet these safety standards, especially among the most affordable options. The hardest part is choosing a pair that strikes the right balance between safety and style while aligning with current sunglasses trends . To help, we curated a list of 10 popular, highly rated styles on Amazon at a range of price points, s...

Yoga pants have a slew of nicknames these days: flared leggings, bootcut leggings - and the list goes on. But no matter what you call them, the qualities are typically the same, featuring a fitted thigh and a bootcut or flared leg . Not to be confused with activewear leggings , yoga pants have become a standout choice among celebrities and regular people alike for everything from lounging to running errands. While celebrities often sport high-end yoga pants (ones you can likely guess off the top of your head), Amazon has tons of top-rated styles to re-create the look for less. Ahead, we've rounded up the 10 best yoga pants from Amazon that you'll want to slip into ASAP.

The 32 year-old has even dipped her feet into styling, most recently working with Usher and NBA star Kyle Kuzma. "Since I was younger, I've always loved fashion and sports, even creating a lifestyle blog that Kobe Bryant and Chris...

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater celebrated its 65th anniversary with an opening night gala that brought out Hollywood's elite including actress Cynthia Erivo who co-stars in "Wicked" alongside Ariana Grande . For the event, held at New York's famed City Center, Erivo chose a simple look from Valentino's Resort 2024 collection: a black turtleneck crop top teamed with a high-waisted maxi skirt that embodied quiet luxury . The sparkling embellishment and flowing train added interest, as did the two-strand pearl necklace she wore wrapped around her neck.

Bucket bags are back like they never left and Hollywood's most stylish celebrities are embracing the unique silhouette in a whole new way this season. What started as an obsession with the sleek, wear-with-anything crossbody from the likes of Mansur Gavriel and Loewe quickly escalated into a statement-making competition. Now, when ladies shop for bucket bags, they're reaching for the most unique variation they can find - think quilted denim with a nod to '90s fashion, floral embroidery, and pom-pom add-ons all included. Taylor Swift styled a croc-embossed bucket bag from Stella McCartney on a recent girl's night outing in New York City alongside Selena Gomez and Brittany Mahomes, while Katie Holmes capped off her summer wardrobe with a raffia bucket bag in tow.
