The Best Outfits to Wear to Taylor Swift's Concert - Inspired By Her "Tortured Poets" Era

So, you finally got your hands on tickets to Taylor Swift 's concert, which is no easy feat.

Her onstage wardrobe is glamorous, eye-catching, and full of hidden messaging - all design flourishes that make for a truly memorable 'fit pic or #GRWM video for your Swift Eras outfit.

I Haven't Taken Off This Spring Loungewear Set In 3 Days

Spring in Los Angeles can be unpredictable, to say the least. We can go from gorgeous 75-and-sunny days to "May gray" within a few hours. Plus, my apartment tends to skew on the chilly side, so I pretty much live in lightweight loungewear both while I'm working from home and when I'm hanging around the house during the weekend. That being said, I have a few requirements for my loungewear. Obviously comfort is top of mind - cotton or linen are my go-tos when the weather is beginning to warm up. This also means no tight waist bands or tops that I'm having to adjust to feel good in. On the other side of the coin, I want my loungewear to skew more towards chic sets over sloppy sweats - I prefer something that I can wear while I browse the aisles of Erewhon without feeling gross. The loungewear sets from Mate the Label have stolen my heart as of late, especially the matching Organic Waffle Half-Zip Sweatshirt ($104, originally $148) and Organic Waffle Relaxed Jo...

This Spanx Bodysuit Has Replaced Every Top in My Wardrobe

Despite all the craze surrounding shapewear, I've long been skeptical about the necessity of the product (sorry, Kim). Sure, it can be great for accentuating curves and creating a more smoothed-out look, but I've always questioned whether the discomfort and debilitating tightness that results from wearing these undergarments is ever really worth it; my conclusion up until very recently was no . Fortunately, many brands have (seemingly) sensed my qualms and worked to bring the shapewear industry into a new era with pieces that are designed to make you feel good and look good, rather than just the latter. Spanx is one of many such labels. I'd previously tried the brand's mid-thigh bodysuit and determined it was key to "achieving the perfect going-out look," so I was excited to learn that Spanx was expanding on its comfy shapewear category with a bevy of new pieces. Given my love for layering, the Spanx Suit Yourself Boat Neck Ribbed Bodysuit ($88) immediatel...

3 Editors Give an Honest Review of Nike's Bestselling Air Sneakers

Few shoes have dominated the mainstream more than Nike Air sneakers. While the silhouette certainly isn't new, the shoe's nostalgic look and inimitably comfortable design is what's made the sneaker a generational mainstay. In fact, it's even garnered a younger audience of millennials and Gen Z'ers who have leaned into sneaker culture more than ever before. 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're running errands around town. The shoes are designed to e...

20 Festival Season Essentials, From Face Gems to Cowboy Boots

For some, festival season style essentials like crop tops and vintage denim are kept at the ready all year long. But for spring and summer 2024 in particular, it's no surprise that '90s fashion is heavily influencing shopping habits. Fans of the fashion era have a newfound affinity for baggy cargo pants, oversize jeans, naked dresses, and - of course - corsets. Y2K-inspired looks are also trickling into the festival realm, so if classic bohemian staples like cowboy boots, fringe, and crochet aren't for you, you have slightly more contemporary options. We scoured many of our favorite labels known for festivalwear to see what's selling ahead of the concerts to come and can confirm that wardrobes are skewing more and more toward personal taste, whether it's decorative makeup products and face gems or the best sneakers for getting around . That being said, there are plenty of universally versatile essentials such as face SPF , affordable, hands-free bags , collapsibl...
