In an era of working from home and staying in, it's fair to say that footwear has been simplified. High-heels have been replaced with slippers, boots have been replaced with sneakers and comfort has well and truly become the key. In this sense, summer's most popular footwea r will need to adhere to a few specific categories—with comfort, ease, and versatility becoming vastly important factors.  With this in mind, let us introduce you to Topshop's recent arrival. The brand's leather twist scandals excel in all the categories above, yet also happen to be stylish and well-priced, rivaling the aesthetic of a designer pair (a combination we love but don't find very often). The pair has also won over our UK Shopping Editor, Joy Montgomery, who offered this somewhat glowing commentary on the shoes. "When the extent of my shoe usage while working from home consists of mooching around the living room and popping ou...

When writing our S/S 20 trend report, I never could have anticipated the way life was about to change. Many of the clothes arriving in stores this month were designed to be worn to weddings, beer gardens, and summer events. However, the S/S collections did have an overarching practical theme that makes many of the items that were tipped to spike still relevant to our lives at home. In the spring collections, we saw a desire for more classic, timeless pieces, largely driven by sustainability having a significant impact on how trends are now shaped. One of the items that fashion buyers kept mentioning to me as a key product for the season was a blue Oxford button-down shirt by The Row. The one item that I keep wearing for my video work calls and keep seeing other people wearing too is an oversize Oxford shirt. The loose fit makes them feel comfortable and relaxed, plus they go with midi skirts, jeans, or trousers, making them an easy...

For the past couple of years, activewear pants have been all about the skinny-leg fit. There are pros and cons to this, of course. The pros? Because of the tighter, compressed fit, you're feeling more supported and no extra fabric gets in the way of whatever workout you're doing. The cons? They're tight! Have you ever tried to peel off your leggings after an especially sweaty workout? While we still love our compressed leggings, we've been noticing a familiar style come up while browsing the activewear selections at some of our favorite retailers: flared yoga pants. Remember those? Heck, maybe you still wear them, and if so, good for you. But let's go back in time to the early aughts when these were just about everywhere. I had a couple of pairs, and I didn't even do yoga back then. People wore them to the studio, but they also wore them for lounging and running errands. They're so comfortable! If you...

When the weather outside is frightful (cold/wet/snowy/insert-cold-weather-problem-here), the last thing you want to do is to leave your house to work out. If you need an extra push to get yourself to the gym, fitness studio, or out on the running path when all you want to do during your free time is take a nap or relax, perhaps some new activewear would be a good motive? It might make you want to show off your new gear ASAP. For shopping inspiration, we've rounded up some of our favorite new picks from JoyLab, Target's activewear line. It just dropped a collection in time for wintry workouts and new york fashion This sporty poncho works for your trip to the gym, but is also great for everyday wear, too. Plus, the bright color will bring a little bit of sunshine even when it's depressingly gray out. These leggings have a bungee cord tie at the waist so you can tighten or loosen if needed. The fun pattern is just another bonus. While you're going to need a bu...

But if you are one of those newly minted gym rats, you might not have your routine down pat just yet. That might mean your workout routine, but it might also be how you prep to go the gym in the first place. You know you have to bring your house keys, gym card (or phone if you scan in with an app), and a water bottle. But depending on your game plan, you might need to bring a change of clothes, extra gear, a snack—it all depends on new york fashion To make sure you're all prepared for gym time before, during, and after, we made a list of suggestions of essentials to consider.
