This season’s biggest trend is tiny. Meet the micro-mini skirt, a holdover from the going-out styles of the early to mid aughts, worn by all the biggest names of that era: Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan among them. The style re-emerged and began picking up steam on the runways earlier this year, when Miu Miu and Saint Laurent showed teeny skirts in embellished jewels and tweeds for fall 2021. Celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo, Bella Hadid, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa were quick to adopt the trend, mixing school girl pleated skirts and sporty renditions with Y2K staples. And who could forget Gen Z’s obsession with the tennis skirt, which dominated summer fashion this year? There’s no question that...

With the brisk arrival of cooler Winter months, furry silhouettes are promising to be the ultimate stylish sheath to protect against the ever changing elements. Undeniably tactile and sensual, the beloved textile evokes a sense of familiarity and comfort that has become synonymous with the colder months. Spanning the gamut of softly feminine and irresistibly edgy, the perennial favorite is back and better than ever in the form of energetic separates, functional overcoats, and statement-making accessories. Though dramatic fur coats — real or faux — and shearling outerwear have been decade-long mainstays, this season is taking the furry fad to a whole new level. Playfully tailored Chanel suit sets — in brightly colored fur, of course — and muted ombre outerwear from...

Corsetted silhouettes have always been a part of fashion, starting as an essential undergarment from the 16th century through the early 20th century meant to accentuate, or create, an hourglass figure. Since the ‘70s, the corset top outfits made their way onto the runway, with designers like Vivienne Westwood, Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and more redefining the rigid garment into a fashion statement. Now, as the Y2K resurgence dominates today’s trends, the coveted item has become fashion’s must-have “going-out” top and a favorite among many celebrities, including Megan Fox, Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and more.

Review Saint Laurent’s fall 2021 collection, and you’ll find look after look topped off with eclectic and cool tweed jackets in an array of ’80s-inspired colors like violet, chartreuse, and hot pink. The jackets and blazers were also paired with coordinating tweed skirts, but these were a far cry from the traditional skirt suit. Instead, Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello opted for how-high-can-you-go microminiskirts and metallic bodysuits. The collection seemed to signal the birth of a new generation of tweed separates, and Saint Laurent wasn’t the only label to present a fabulously fun update to the forever style. In typical Area fashion, designers Piotrek Pansczczyk and Beckett Fogg embellish a green tweed blazer with drips of crystal fringe, while Valentino offers a cropped, midriff-baring version of what is customarily...
