Barrel jeans can be polarizing, I know. But for those of us who love a statement silhouette, learning how to balance the style's voluminous cut with snug tops and the right pair of comfortable shoes can make all the difference. With countless versions on the market, it's also a matter of finding the right pair for you. While I own a slimmer version that relies more on the direction of the leg seams to create the illusion of bowing, I've been searching for a bolder barrel with a roomy, curved shape that still manages to be flattering. The Way-High Curve Jean from Everlane ($128) is exactly what I've been looking for, and the Calico Ecru color couldn't be more perfect for spring and summer. About Everlane's The Way-High Curve Jean They're made from 98 percent organic cotton and two percent elastane. They have a high-rise silhouette with exaggerated, barrel-shaped legs that are ankle length. The jeans feature two front angled pockets and two back pocke...

Nik Bentel is the genius designer behind the TikTok-viral pasta bag (which he confirms is his bestselling item to date), and his wheels keep spinning - literally. The Nik Bentel RC Car Bag ($251, originally $295) launched in February and has already outpaced most of the brand's past product drops in terms of day-one performance, according to Bentel himself. "It's definitely one of our fastest-moving designs," he jokes of the statement piece that's part handbag, part remote control car with four-wheel drive. "What if your bag didn't just look fast, but actually moved?" Like most of his projects, this accessory is made to get you noticed, which is exactly why I was committed to taking it out on the town for dinner and drinks. Of course, I also love the fact that it's inspired by vintage toy cars, a nod to nostalgia I can definitely get behind. "My inspiration tends to come from everyday objects that feel overlooked or oddly iconic - th...

It was only months ago that Kendrick Lamar told the world to pop out in his controversial, chart-topping diss track to Drake "Not Like Us," and he's been at the top of our playlists ever since. Prior to both artists' rap beef, the Compton-born lyricist has consistently produced cultural records that amplify the Black experience from "Alright" and "Humble" to "Father Time" and "Dodger Blue" - even earning him a spot at this year's Super Bowl halftime Show (his performance being the most watched in history). Whether you've been a faithful K-dot fan for years or you're a newbie, there's no questioning his imprint on the music industry. Apart from his unrivaled flow and thought-provoking lyrics, we're even more excited about his joint tour with Grammy-winning singer and longtime collaborator SZA. The dynamic duo's "Grand National Tour," which was announced just days after the aforementioned hist...

Booty-lifting clothing and butt-enhancing shapewear is having a moment, which is why Spanx's introduction of its SpanxSculpt ReDefine denim is hardly a surprise. The renowned brand has been perfecting smoothing undergarments since 2000 under founder Sara Blakely's lead, and is only expanding further (have you heard of Sneex, the viral sneaker heel , for example?).

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 2025 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...

It's no secret that getting a gorgeous letter-pressed wedding invitation in the mail brings immediate excitement. Your eyes quickly scan the location and before you know it, you're on Pinterest gathering a mood board or scrolling through Farfetch to find that standout ensemble that'll earn you the title of best-dressed for the night. As exhilarating as the search for the perfect wedding guest dress can be, it can easily get stressful when there's a dress code involved. We have nothing against them, but a dress code has the power to make your shopping escapade a breeze or a headache - especially when they're unofficial. Wedding attire has become unconventional in recent years, but apparently, stern rules still apply if you're Sydney Sweeney. The "Anyone But You" star recently caused a stir for wearing a blue corset dress (that's close to white) to co-star Glen Powell's sister's wedding. The viral outfit has left the internet divided on w...

Since its highly anticipated return, our eyes have been glued to HBO's " The White Lotus ." Apart from its completely unhinged plot twists that include an approaching murder, we're also fascinated by the show's stellar wardrobe choices.
