26 Old Navy Dresses We Can’t Wait to Layer This Winter - and They’re All Under $50!

Sure, there's no bad time of year to get a dress but, when it comes to shopping this season, long sleeves and snuggly textures like knits and velvet are our own personal scroll-stoppers. And, since it's not cool to be cold , we found plenty of Old Navy dresses to wear under cardigans or shackets but didn't leave out the minis to wear over tights, too. Not only do our winter favorites make hearts melt way sooner than any snow actually does, not a single one costs more than $50. Change your own fashion forecast with our 26 picks ahead.

Start 2022 on the Right Foot With Nordstrom's Best Shoes

Let's be honest: whoever coined the phrase "new year, new you" was definitely was definitely talking about their closets. We mean, there's truly no better time to give your wardrobe a serious vibe check and turn over a new leaf. Which pieces do you never wear that should be donated? What trends are you excited to try over the next 12 months? And, how can you make your cornucopia of clothes and accessories even chicer than it already is? Sure, there are plenty of ways to hit the refresh button on your wardrobe, but we firmly believe it starts with a great pair of shoes. (Name another article of clothing - besides your puffy winter jacket , obviously - that you wear more. We'll wait.) The good news is that Nordstrom is packed with a stellar shoes section, and just added a bunch of new pairs to its inventory. (It's basically a one-stop-site for your sandals, heels, and sneakers.) So, in the spirit of starting anew, we're sharing the best styles worth ad...

Yara Shahidi Showcases the Undeniable Comfort of These Easy Everlane Flats

Yara Shahidi has sent a subtle reminder to us all about the things that are important in life right ahead of the new year - flats ! The Grown-ish actress , activist, and style star, who works with Jason Bolden on her more glamorous red carpet looks , thrives in a moment where she can show off her relaxed fashion sense to fans and followers on Instagram. After resetting on the beach in a crochet-knit two-piece , then giving off sporty vibes in Chloe x Halle's VS Pink apparel , Yara shared a few laid-back photos of herself lounging in Lunya sleepwear and a pair of Everlane's Italian Leather Day Glove Flats, which retail for $115 and come in a total of seven natural colorways. The "buttery soft" upper is supposed to mold to the shape of your foot, which sounds pretty darn great to us. The Everlane team confirmed they sent them over to her, and clearly, she approves. "Me at ease •swipe for my athletic prowess• 🥋," Yara captioned her photo series on Insta...

We All Know Carrie Would Wear Charlotte's Sleeper Pajamas With Heels

Crucial to our weekly And Just Like That streaming is keeping track of any covetable items we can actually buy. Costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago did a careful job to incorporate old, vintage items just as well as new, and one such example comes in episode four, "Some of My Best Friends." Charlotte York Goldenblatt plans a dinner party in bed with husband Harry wearing Sleeper's feathered Party Pajamas, which were introduced in 2017 as the "wear anywhere" holiday look that begs for slippers or heels - it's totally your call. We were instantly reminded of the scene from Sex and the City : The Movie where Carrie takes boudoir dressing on a whim into the streets on New Year's Eve to go eat Chinese food with Miranda. Though Charlotte's accessories are limited to her glasses and iPad in AJLT , this only speaks to how versatile a pair of fancy-shmancy pajamas can actually be. Sleeper offers her exact set for $290 in a total of eig...

Blink and You Might've Missed Issa's Gorgeous Rose Gold Engagement Ring on Insecure

Insecure 's series finale had us so emotional, our constant stream of happy tears nearly obscured a major plot point: Issa Dee and Lawrence Walker are engaged! In the concluding minutes of the HBO show's last-ever episode , we catch a few blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpses at Issa flashing a gorgeous engagement ring as she hangs out with Lawrence and his son, Elijah, in their kitchen and talks on the phone with Molly. Though the camera doesn't zero in on the ring at any point during the scene, it's pretty darn hard to ignore - so much so that we literally paused and rewound the episode to fully admire it. Because we don't get any close-up, in-focus shots of Issa's ring, we reached out to a few experts for their take on the style and cut based on the footage we do have. Los Angeles jewelry designer Grace Lee told POPSUGAR the diamond appears to be a 1.5-carat rock that's either asscher, emerald, or oval cut, secured in a rectangular frame, and set in...

Has Victoria's Secret Learned Its Lesson? Bella Hadid Tests the Waters

It took Bella Hadid almost a year and a half to sit down with Victoria's Secret and discuss the prospect of joining the brand's VS Collective as an ambassador . The lingerie giant launched the initiative in June 2021 to re-shape its ethos, naming pro athletes Megan Rapione and Naomi Osaka, actress Priyanka Chopra, photographer Amanda de Cadenet, skier Eileen Gu, and models Adut Akech, Paloma Elsesser, Hailey Bieber, and Valentina Sampaio as board leaders. But Bella's history with VS, beginning with her walking in the annual runway show in 2016 (which has since been discontinued for its lack of diversity and inclusivity ), made her reluctant to take the call. As detailed to Marie Claire on Dec. 2, Bella wanted to be sure that under the leadership of EVP and Head Creative Director Raul Martinez and Casting Director Felicity Webb , women would be uplifted and protocols would be put in place to maintain a safe environment. Bella was one of the many models who came forward ...

Everything They Wore on Insecure's Final Season

With a first look at Issa, Molly , Kelli, and Tiffany's outfits at their college reunion in episode one, Insecure 's fifth season would also be a fashion finale with a tour de force of looks. We were treated to a glimpse of the girls' easy takes on denim, a sporty tracksuit and fresh plaid for Issa, and a memorable scene with Molly's Amina Muaddi heels right off the bat, putting style front and center in their story. These covetable yet relatable looks are another testament to the expertise of costume designer Shiona Turini, who took the helm of the show's wardrobe again for the last season. Between the Nathan-or-Lawrence drama, Shiona's high-low wardrobing was a constant, balancing emerging labels and vintage items with favorites like Telfar . And, while Insecure has always made style a central theme; we venture to say Shiona saved the best for the show's last episodes (just check out that Oscar de la Renta wedding gown for the proof). Read on for a clo...

Insecure: Molly's Wedding Was a Celebration of New Beginnings and Oscar de la Renta

The epitome of growth . On Dec. 26, Insecure wrapped up its fifth and final season, giving fans closure and characters happy endings in a string of flash-forwards . While the show has been centered around Issa Dee (Issa Rae), it's her group of girls and their professional and personal plot lines that have kept us locked in since 2015, which is why it was so important for the finale to touch on each of them . But we're here to talk about Molly (Yvonne Orji) and Taurean (Leonard Robinson) and their beautiful love story that was complete with a stunning Oscar de la Renta wedding dress. Fans were ecstatic to see Molly and Taurean tie the knot in a gorgeous European ceremony accompanied by bridesmaids in red dresses , a tear-jerking father-daughter dance, and a beautiful tribute to Molly's late mother. Molly was breathtaking in an Oscar de la Renta fern gown. The strapless embroidered dress featured a sweetheart neckline and a full corset back. And the symbolism of the fern...

We Like the Things Gabrielle Union Keeps in Mind When Buying a Bikini

Gabrielle Union celebrated the end of the holiday season (and the entry into the new year) sitting poolside in a purple drawstring bikini by Andrea Iyamah . The glow of the sunset in the distance might have been one factor that led us to stop in our tracks, but the design detail is also pretty extraordinary. Featuring a striking cut that frames the bust with underwire and also gives way to ruched cap sleeves, the crop top is immaculate, while the bottom is gathered at the center and comes in a flattering high-rise silhouette. It's no surprise we noticed - Nigerian designer Andrea Dumebi Iyamah, who is also famous for her striking resort wear, has been churning out pieces that celebrate her African heritage and her own contemporary take on femininity since 2011. You'd be hard-pressed to find another swim label consistently embracing its cultural roots while also maintaining such incredible attention to quality and the brand's DNA. Each swimsuit on the site tells its own ...

In Defense of Carrie's New Clothes

If you were watching Sex and the City (or tuned into the reruns), you were likely showing up as much for the fashion as you were for the sex. We watched to see what Carrie Bradshaw was wearing the way we scroll through Instagram in the age of influencer fashion. Carrie gave us outfit inspiration that was both high fashion and also down to earth, a brand of high-low authored by Patricia Field, who famously helmed the wardrobe for the original series. It's the eclectic hallmark of Carrie's style and every woman who attempted to emulate it. Fortunately, the reboot delivers on the fashion front again (though am I the only one waiting for the sex to kick in?). With Molly Rogers, a longtime colleague of Field's, and Danny Santiago behind the costumes for And Just Like That , fashion is, again, central to the show, though the early critiques from fans were quick to tear down some of the costuming that was leaked from the set. To that, specifically the outcry that erupted over ...

2021's Triumphant Return of Celebrity Couple Dressing

From Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky , we're going to come right out and say it: 2021 had some of the best celebrity couple fashion moments of all time. Matching couples' fashion is important for a celebrity duo to nail (both the real-love relationships and the ones just for publicity), because it demonstrates a visual connection between two people. Each coordinating couture moment highlights a cohesion between a famous duo, a shared aesthetic that reminds you "we're rich, we're hot, and we're in love". These sartorial matchy-matchy moments are non-verbal signals that they're status is "together," an aesthetic celebration of a harmonious union and a way to build the new couple's synergized brand (#couplegoals). As we look back at 2021, here are some of the famous couples who won fashion. from POPSUGAR Fashion https://ift.tt/3yQAyD6

These 7 Celebrity Stylists Are Moving Fashion Forward for Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood put their thoughtful approach to dressing on display at premieres and award shows throughout 2021. If you were pay attention, you likely noticed that the stars having conversations about their red carpet looks are talking about more than the obvious "who are you wearing?". The younger generation has shown time and time again that they care about where their clothing comes from and especially whether it has historical meaning or pays homage to an icon before them . Of course, their stylists are instrumental in bringing such statements to life, putting in the research to construct an outfit that is representative of their client's identity and culture . More often than not, they're also searching for archival pieces that can be repurposed for an event, rather than buying new materials and leaving a carbon footprint. And, as all seven of the stylists ahead will tell you, championing emerging talent and supporting small brands that practice sustainab...

All Hail Zendaya, the Queen of Fashionable Spider-Man References

Zendaya 's Spider-Man: No Way Home press tour outfits confirm she not only understood the assignment, but also submitted it early with ample extra credit to boot. While promoting the superhero film at various red carpet events and sit-down interviews this past month, the actor has been consistently paying fashionable tribute to characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both good and evil. With styling help from renowned image architect Law Roach , Zendaya has stylishly referenced villains like Dr. Octopus and the Green Goblin, as well as Spider-Man himself, played by her on- and off-screen beau, Tom Holland . Zendaya and Law are certainly no strangers to a well-researched red carpet homage - through the years, they've pieced together looks inspired by pop culture icons ranging from Aaliyah and Beyoncé to David Bowie and Cher. Seeing the work they put in ahead of the latest Spider-Man movie release has taken our appreciation for their craft to a whole new level. J...

Everybody Wanted to Dress the Cast of Emily in Paris For Season 2

Emily in Paris costume designer Marylin Fitoussi describes dressing the characters on the hit Netflix series like a game of chess. "I need to check that every outfit is really well coordinated and goes well with the location. If they decide to change the color of the wall to green and you have Emily in the green Elie Saab jacket, you need to have option two ready at a moment's notice for emergency," she explains to me over Zoom. That's commitment. "I hope Emily in Paris gives people the idea that you need to break all the rules." Marylin consults with famed stylist, Sex and the City 's Patricia Field on the wardrobe, which is reason enough to justify EIP 's status as one of the most fashionable shows on TV, but then there is the controversy that surrounded season one, from the questionable Golden Globe nods and the plot line that falls short of its intended escapism to the inaccurate depiction of the fashion marketing industry . Fitoussi d...

Found: The Perfect Little Black Dress- and It’s Only $35

When the holiday season rolls around, I always find myself scrambling at the last minute to get my outfits together. However, this year I decided to start shopping at some of my favorite retailers early. I've recently become a big Old Navy fan, because I've found a ton of cute options on their site, like a sherpa sweater I'm absolutely obsessed with, and a packable zip-up jacket that I've been wearing nonstop. I decided to browse Old Navy in search of a holiday dress , and I'm so glad I did. I ended up finding this Long-Sleeve Poet Mini Swing Dress ($35), and it's been the perfect addition to my wardrobe. When I first opened the package containing my dress, I immediately knew I was going to be obsessed because the dress was so soft. It's made from 100% cotton and has a crinkled texture, and I loved the way it felt. I sprinted upstairs to try it on immediately, and I instantly fell in love. It fit perfectly without being too tight or too loose, thanks t...

Trust Me, These Under-$30 Frames Are So Much More Than a Cute Accessory

As a freelance journalist, I spend all day in front of my computer. (Psst . . . when I say all day, I mean it! I am usually online before the sun comes up and close my laptop shortly before bedtime.) But, as much as I love my job, I have to admit that spending so much time in front of the screen can give me a big headache . . . or make my eyes feel super strained . . . or make it hard for me to wind down after a long workday. There are a lot of measures I take to stay in top shape during the workweek: I go for walks outside, drink plenty of water , and exercise regularly. But, my favorite? These Peepers by PeeperSpecs Oversized Blue Light Filtering Reading Glasses ($26, originally $27). There's a reason why Peepers glasses have graced Oprah's Favorite Things List year after year. You see, all screens - be it your television, tablet, smartphone, and, yes, computer - emit blue light. We might be used to small doses of blue light here and there, but too much can strain your...

I'm Not Sure What It Is, But These 3 Things Always Look So Expensive to Me

If I’m an expert at anything, it’s finding things that look way more expensive than they are. I’m always looking for the next cool thing, investing in fashion risks , and testing out new trends—aka constantly shopping—so I literally can’t afford to cash out all the time. After trying on what feels like hundreds of thousands of clothes, bags, and accessories, I’ve developed a discerning, CIA-level eye for fabrics, construction, and fit that would make even the best bootleggers sweat (and give me a heavy discount). That stitching is plastic, sir. My years of scientific research have shown the trick to looking expensive is finding inherently luxe pieces to anchor all your looks, and the three items below reliably meet that need. There are so many options in each of these categories this season, so stay woke, and keep scrolling to see the best finds from across the internet. Here’s to us manifesting a rich auntie winter. Clink, clink! Vegan leather hit the ground running...
