Putting together the perfect beach or poolside outfit means much more than selecting a bikini or a one-piece. A thoughtfully styled swimsuit cover-up helps to bring the entire look together and makes for an easy transition from the water to whatever you have planned next. The wonders and stylish potentials of the cover-up were certainly evident in Mara Hoffman’s cleverly styled spring 2021 collection, which paired bikini tops with hosiery, and Chanel’s resort 2021 presentation, which made a case for the tiered ruffled skirt as a cover-up. And these are only a few of the many options we have. There are the tried-and-true sarong scarves, the classic linen button-up, and in an unexpected twist, we’re even seeing cardigans from the likes of many swimwear designers. Below, these and more of...

FENDI is providing some respite from the summer heat by taking over the Miami Design District, bringing the FENDI Caffe and Peekaboo Bar. FENDI Caffe Taking over the OTL Restaurant in the area, the FENDI Caffe is located right across the FENDI Boutique. It pays tribute to their Summer 2021 Capsule, featuring the FF Vertigo, by making the FF symbol the signature motif for the cafe. The cafe is, visually, a psychedelic fever dream of color and shapes, featuring canary yellow lines and shades everywhere, with the more colorful seating options bearing the FF Vertigo stamp. The theme continues on with custom FENDI table settings and takeaway elements as well, all nestled in a tropical vibe. Along with your usual cafe staples, the...

Today, some of our favorite pop stars still channel that glitzy era of bedazzled apparel, pastel color palettes, and statement accessories. This time around, though, the style comes with a modern twist, whether it’s updating flip-flop platforms with a pair of heeled mules or swapping butterfly clips (RIP) with today’s “It” accessory: a padded headband. But no matter the year or generation, a beloved artist’s stylish aesthetic will likely stand the test of time — or at least live forever on mood boards and among fandoms. Inspired by Olivia Rodrigo’s cover shoot for NYLON’s Music Issue, we gathered up the exact pieces (and some similar recommendations) that she wore for you to channel your own inner pop star, below. We only include...

On occasion, I’ll take a look in my closet, my apartment, and my social media accounts and wonder, what does all this add up to? Is there any throughline between the Bed Bath and Beyond beige plates, the Hermès champignons scarf I tracked down on eBay, the nun-shaped candle on my desk, and the crispy oven mitt printed with a 1950s housewife saying “I’ve got a knife”? Is there any visual connection between the table I found on Facebook marketplace and the IKEA Billy bookshelves present in many millennial households? (Mine are painted in Benjamin Moore’s Alligator Alley green). What I’m asking in these moments is, in internet parlance, what is my aesthetic? I’m wondering if I have successfully arranged my life...

@ugo_paulon/ Instagram If you’re looking for an antidote to the minimalist, barely-there shoe this summer, look no further than the label Ugo Paulon. The sandals are like little puffer coats for the feet, with bulbous, sculptural straps that lace around the calves. They’re accentuated with spirals and swirly prints in sandy and brown hues, or light pinks and fiery oranges. In short: It’s a ‘grammable footwear dream, already catching the eye of Vogue Market Editor Naomi Elizee and the musician Shygirl (who happened to be the first Ugo Paulon customer). @naomielizee/Instagram While the footwear is certainly a delight to look at, the story behind them is equally intriguing. The label was created by the rather secretive Danish, London-based designer who prefers to simply go by Elise....

Every season, without fail, there’s a breakout print that takes over our wardrobes. Last summer, it was all about tie-dye—in sweats, dresses, and more. During the summer of 2020, at-home tie-dye kits sold like hotcakes as people looked to busy themselves during lockdown. Groovy tie-dyes persisted in the recent spring 2021 collections too. Sportmax, Dior, Proenza Schouler, and more sent them down the runway. This spring, meanwhile, checkerboard knits also took over, a graphic alternative to the hippie tie-dye. Brands like Tyler McGillivary, Erika Maish, and Paloma Wool all applied checkers onto knitted sweaters, dresses, and more. “It’s a very approachable pattern to learn with, and it’s obviously very pleasing to look at and wear,” Halima Mbwana, designer and founder of Lilliez, told Vogue. Indeed, the breakout prints...

In 2021, fashion has firmly entered a new era of knitwear. No longer are cashmere sweaters and cable knits the norm—designers are pushing the boundaries and perception of what, exactly, makes a piece knitwear. After a year of pandemic-induced sweat set obsessions, we’re all looking for something that’s still comfortable, only much cooler. Enter the emerging, London-based designer Chet Lo, who’s at the center of it all.  Lo’s designs strike the balance between cozy and futuristic; vibrant, spike-sculpted fabrics resemble the popcorn ripples from your favorite childhood stretchy top—on steroids. The shapes are inspired by Durian fruits (a nod to Lo’s Asian American heritage), and each piece is hand-knitted, in bright shades of neon blue, futuristic purple, and baby pink. The...
