oow
For most people, footwear hasn't been very exciting in a long time. Over the last year, comfort has reigned supreme when it comes to getting dressed.

Our shoe game has gone casual, too: Fuzzy house slippers and low-key sneakers have become more ubiquitous than ever. The mere thought of wearing actual shoes — like with a heel and exposed feet and everything! — is, well, downright overwhelming. But with #ShotGirlSummer just around the corner, the inevitable can't be delayed for much longer. Whether we like it or not, summer shoe season is quickly approaching, which means it's time to retire those cozy house slips and trade them in for some...

These 11 Fashion Trends Are Going Viral This Summer – But They’re Actually From the ’70s (InStyle)

is62
You've probably heard it about 8 million times: the top clothing trends of today are pretty much all recycled from Y2K, and with each pully top sighting or celeb-approved platform flip flop, we've started to feel as if we're living in the past. But that's just how the cycle works - nothing in fashion is ever really new-new. And the '90s and early '00s are far from the only source of 2021 style inspiration; '70s fashion is having a moment, too. RELATED: 12 Questionable Trends From 2011 That Are, Unfortunately, Back In fact, many modern trends that are labeled as Y2K actually originated a few decades prior, pioneered by '70s icons such as Cher, Bianca Jagger, Debbie Harry, and Jane Fonda.

BEHIND VIVIENNE WESTWOOD’S PEARL CHOKER HISTORY AND COMEBACK (NYLON)

NY64
If the Tiffany & Co. charm necklace dominated the 2000s and the Cartier Love bracelet ruled the 2010s, then the 2020s has found its answer to the “It” girl accessory in the Vivienne Westwood Mini Bas Relief pearl choker. Though the choker — which has been making its rounds on the necks of TikTokers, models, influencers, and pop stars alike — may be today’s newest coveted accessory, its history (and comeback) has surprising ties to both counterculture and anime. While the Swarovski crystal-encrusted orb nestled among a string of delicate pearls may not scream “rebellion,” Dame Vivienne Westwood has long catered to the underground. In the early 1970s, Westwood and partner Malcolm McLaren were fully involved in the punk scene, which was...

You Can Buy The Latest Supermodel Approved It-Bag on Amazon (VOGUE)

VOG622
Every season, designers unveil a new wave of luxury purses to be worn on the arm of tastemakers, leaving stars spoiled for choice. So when they decide to eschew the familiar big names in favor of an under-the-radar option, it’s worth noting—especially if it’s affordable, too. Yesterday, when Emily Ratajkowski stepped out in Manhattan, the modeling star’s striking accessories almost overshadowed her viral denim bra. Dressed in her offbeat take on the Canadian tuxedo, Ratajkowski complimented her Prada double denim with a golden shoulder bag from Los Angeles label JW Pei. The Gabbi miniature hobo features a distinctive ruched handled and vegan leather, but its biggest selling point may be the price—currently available for $70, it’s an on-trend steal. Jason Merritt/Radarpics/ShutterstockRatajkowski owns the Gabbi in three...
