Fashion Impulse Mania

Whether I'm walking through SoHo on a summer Friday or aimlessly scrolling on TikTok, there's one accessory I've seen nonstop that's quite alarming: the Labubu . Not to be confused with bag charms , the Chinese toy has recently become a hot commodity in the accessory world, being sported on handbags everywhere - from everyday wristlets to the coveted Hermés Birkin. Being that we do live in an ever-controversial trend cycle, should we really be surprised that such a creepy design has become this desired? Technically, no, but still, our eyebrows are definitely raised. What Are Labubus? Similar to trends like diaper shorts and the jelly shoe resurgence, Labubus aren't exactly new. Labubu was created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung in 2015, for the Monster series, which was inspired by Nordic folklore. It wasn't long before Lung's creation became available on Pop Mart, a Beijing-based company widely known for selling collectible designer toys. Yet, the toy...

Apart from her obsession with a red lipstick from MAC , there's another item that Taylor Swift doesn't mind repeating without shame - a denim dress. Most recently, the "Eras" singer showed her support for boyfriend Travis Kelce at his benefit concert for Tight End University. Her outfit? A denim dress, of, course. The EB Denim Polka Dress ($495) consisted of a lace-up corset bodice and pleated miniskirt that's made entirely of recycled denim. She teamed the flirty frock with black, knee-high leather boots from Versace, a Steven Battelle pendant necklace, Jacquie Aiche hoop earrings, and a Deborah Drattell Western belt. It was an outfit very befitting of her surprise performance of "Shake It Off." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kane Brown (@kanebrown) This clothing combination is nothing new for Swift, as she wore the same exact dress in blue at the 2023 MTV Awards (because denim just screa...

At this point, every day feels synonymous with a new fashion trend. Whether it's a resurgence or something entirely fresh, you can expect to see at least one hot topic du jour on your FYP each morning. In case you've been living under a rock, this month alone has brought an influx of trends redefining our shopping identity: bandage dresses (really the Hervé Léger dress ), recession core , and the "New England Summer" aesthetic . And, as if we're not already spending enough, there's yet another trend tempting us to swipe our cards: jelly shoes. Of course, jelly shoes are far from new. While the popular footwear style is undeniably equal parts chic and comfortable, it's more than just a PVC shoe. The look originated post-World War II as a cost-effective alternative to shoes made from natural textiles such as leather and cotton. The first PVC shoe is believed to have been created by the French company Sarraizienne in the 1950s, often worn by fishermen due...

Although we're still processing the "dump" from episode 20 of " Love Island USA " Season 7, Megan Thee Stallion 's episode still has us obsessed. Given the show's allure and many steamy moments, it was only right that the "Mamushi" rapper made a guest appearance. During her cameo, the star hosted a three-part challenge, which consisted of a twerking competition, a limbo round, and a puzzle race, which culminated in two new bombshells joining the show. Of course, she wore an ensemble that was sultry enough to match the night's mischief: a metallic gold two-piece bikini with matching, strappy-heeled sandals and jewelry. But let's be clear: it's far from your average bikini; it's from her very own Walmart swimwear line. The "Sweetest Pie" artist recently launched her Hot Girl Summer collection with the popular retailer, featuring 18 size-inclusive styles, including her look from the show: the Dipped in Gold Bikini Top...

When the majority of my high school friends selected bandage dresses for prom junior year, I was less than thrilled. I knew for sure I wouldn't be partaking, and that I'd be in something looser-fit, but I still felt an overwhelming sense of FOMO (as one does in high school). Watching everyone else jump on the bandage dress bandwagon was stressful, knowing I simply didn't have the confidence to wear something that so visibly traced every line of my body. Fast forward to college and I finally invested in a bandage skirt (pictured above), but this is the only photo I have to show for it as I remember feeling uneasy about my head-to-toe appearance. And maybe that's why, 20 years later, I was apprehensive to try a trend that used to keep me up at night. A familiar sense of fear creeped over me as I pulled the Hervé Léger Elise Dress ($690) over my head and procrastinated peering into the mirror. Would I like the shape of my thighs? Would I be able to make out my period ...

Image Source: Getty Images | Gotham Image Source: Reformation Taylor Swift is just a girl like the rest of us - and like any true fashion lover, she's got a thing for corset tops. Honestly, who can blame her? They cinch you in all the right places, add a flirty touch, and somehow make even the simplest outfit look totally put together. Whether you're pairing one with jeans , leather pants, a skirt, or shorts , they just work. Case in point: Swift's latest date night look with boyfriend Travis Kelce featured a soft blue corset from Reformation - the Seren Top ($168). And surprise, surprise - it's still in stock. We were kind of shocked too, since most things she wears sell out in seconds. The fact that this piece is still available feels like a minor miracle. Under $200, it's a no-brainer - cute, stylish, and perfect for summer nights, if it's good enough for her date night, it's definitely good enough for ours. We're adding one to our cart ASA...

Although I'm relatively new to the " Love Island USA " fan club, I've been completely obsessed and slightly triggered - like the rest of the world - since finally giving into the temptation. Serena Paige and Kordell Beckham's love story was already a strong motivator, but the juiciness of Season 7 is too good to ignore. From cold sores galore (hello, Nic Vansteenberghe) to Huda Mustafa's controversial "lovergirl" behavior, my eyes have been peeled. As a shopping editor and proud fashion girl, I've also been closely watching the contestants' outfits. From the moment Chelley Bissainthe and Olandria Carthen pulled up to the villa in sultry, vibrant dresses at the start of the season, I was immediately intrigued to see how other cast members would bring their sartorial A-game. As I predicted, others gravitated toward similar silhouettes that achieved that alluring island vibe. One bombshell who aced this aesthetic with ease? Hannah Fields. ...

While TikTokers have been raving about the viral Adidas Originals x Bad Bunny Ballerinas ($273), I was initially skeptical since I usually prefer sneakers with a platform sole for an extra height boost. What I was attracted to was the retro-leaning shape and sporty twists (such as the bungee-cord laces). And with the release of the rapper's 2025 album "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS" comes added hype - after all, he's been partnering with Adidas on collection drops since 2021 and has introduced over 20 styles with the brand to date. Shoppers have posted everything from thorough unboxings to styling quests to dance routines (yes, really) surrounding the viral shoe - it is a ballerina, so why not attempt some ballet? I decided that if I was going to try the new must have, I wanted the off-white, despite the more popular option being the Adidas Originals x Bad Bunny Ballerinas in Bold Gold ($241) that debuted first. There's also the Adidas Originals x Bad Bunny Baller...

Sandals and summer go hand-in-hand, just like ice cream and beach days, or, since we're talking fashion, flowy dresses and bikinis. But buying new ones yearly - or even replacing worn-out pairs - can get expensive.

We included a range of prices, too, starting at $14. Keep scrolling to shop o...

Hailey Bieber remains the reigning queen of bikini pics. The 27-year-old has been choosing two pieces over maillots for years, and her Instagram feed is proof. Bieber tends toward strappy looks with unexpected ties at the center of the bust or rising high on her hips, and she never shies away from a cheeky thongkini moment. When it comes to finishing off her beach or poolside look, Bieber has experimented with everything from body chains and her signature gold hoops to baseball caps, bucket hats, and bangles. She also loves to flaunt layered beaded necklaces and usually opts for a natural makeup look. Her latest bikini moment came all at once, powered by lemon drops and Rhode , which she recently sold to e.l.f. Cosmetics for a cool $1 billion. And she's not slowing down: Hailey just announced the launch of her long-awaited Glazing Mist, dropping June 24, and the sun-drenched aesthetic of her bikini shots feels like a perfect preview of what's to come. But that's not th...

As complex as the trend cycle may seem, it's not all that hard to understand. Most trends are just reimagined versions of styles we've seen before. (See: TikTok's diaper shorts , which are really just a modern take on 1800s bloomers.) Brands depend on innovative design treatments or collaborations for many of these trends to land successfully, but the number one thing that makes them impossible to resist? A celebrity cosign. Similar to cutouts and jorts , another style has regained popularity amongst the stars: bandage dresses. While tons of celebrities have rocked the silhouette throughout the years, Hailey Bieber and Kaia Gerber's recent embrace of the trend is especially referential. Gerber wore a bandage dress from Hervé Léger at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, while Bieber wore a burgundy Saint Laurent iteration at this year's Fashion Trust U.S. Awards - both showcasing the style's relevance. What Are Bandage Dresses? Bandage dresses have...

Reformation is a brand that's hard not to know. The sustainable Los Angeles-based fashion label is adored by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Meghan Markle , and Taylor Swift - along with countless others, including PS editors, and most likely, you . The brand's repertoire isn't known for just one thing. While its dresses are the ultimate fan-favorite, Reformation's influence stretches far beyond that, with must haves in every category, from tops and bottoms to footwear, accessories, jewelry, and even the bestselling, '90s-inspired Cary jeans . But with price tags that mostly land in the three dollar sign-range, a full Reformation shopping spree isn't always realistic. That's why we're all about choosing the right pieces and why we've curated this guide to the brand's bestsellers for every Reformation lover, new or seasoned. Ahead, we've rounded up the 15 best Reformation pieces to consider coveting for fall, from everyday dresses that'll...

Image Source: PS Photography | Haley Lyndes Image Source: Brian Babineau | NBAE via Getty Images If you've spent any time on TikTok lately, you've definitely seen it - Kendall Jenner rocking a $2 Hanes tank top at Game 4 of the Eastern Conference NBA Semifinals . Yep, you read that right: two dollars. Naturally, I had to know everything about this viral wardrobe moment. In classic Jenner style, she made the simple Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank ($10) look effortlessly chic. TikTok star Tinx first blew the lid off Jenner's budget-friendly secret by finding the exact tank and sharing with her followers. "I was obsessed with this pic because Kendall's white tank is perfect ," she said in her TikTok. "I asked my shopaholic community, 'Where's it from?' They all said Hanes. I'm 99% sure it's a Hanes Boys Tank." A boys tank? Say what? I was shook. How could something so basic be so iconic? After some serious sleuthing, I tracked down t...
