vm625
First detected in Jacquemus’s  La Chiquito, minibag has set a tone for a new fashion style - even if gigantic handbags, like Chanel’s Flap, are eye-catching enough under the spotlight, minibag seems to stand in the ever-changing fashion world.

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. We've swapped work pants for sweatpants, button-ups for hoodies, and briefcases for weighted blankets. 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. And, it's not all flared jeans...

This Summer’s Makeup Is All About Being Subtly Extra (InStyle)

is67
In case you've been living under a rock or on a remote island for the past year and a half: we're just now easing out of a pandemic. During our time quarantined at home, many of us embraced our natural skin and focused on skincare rather than slathering on makeup. But now that outside has officially opened back up (at least in the U.S.), beauty lovers are using this as a chance to be as extra as possible when it comes to makeup application - especially for the eyes. So it makes sense that this summer's hottest makeup trend meets us right in the middle - and Dior's Cruise 2022 show, which took place at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, is a clear...

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...
