An Ode to the Jersey Dress, the 2000s Hip-Hop Trend That Changed Everything

Image Source: YouTube users Victoria Monét, Dmitry Fedkiv; Getty / Mark Mainz, Theo Wargo A full embrace of impracticality is one of the hallmarks of 2000s fashion . Jeans were cut low past the pubic bone with no regard or support for the stomachs above them. Men's shorts were oversize and worn in the most inconvenient location: just underneath the butt, secured with a belt desperately clinging to thighs with every swaggered stride. They stopped just above the ankles - pants with an identity crisis. Baby T-shirt sleeves burrowed deep into your armpit, greedy, apparently, for sweat stains. Not a drop of functionality was to be found in these garments. But they weren't meant to make sense - the aesthetic is what folks were after. And this rang true for one of the decade's most recognizable looks: the jersey dress. The trend, as a 2003 New York Times article tells it, was birthed from a place of necessity. For capitalists, that is. At the time, Mitchell & Ness , a spor...

Anitta Shows Off Her Abs in a Choker Top and Thong-Baring Miniskirt

Anitta was feeling rebellious during a trip to Mexico City on Aug. 28. Following the release of her single "Used to Be" on Aug. 4, the singer stepped out in a "sl*t" halter top that doubled as a choker necklace. She completed the outfit with strappy, heeled sandals and a pair of optical-illusion cargo pants, which she later swapped out for a matching leather miniskirt. "Used to be one but I ain't no more," Anitta captioned photos of herself in the daring look on Instagram. A notable divergence from some of her recent fashion escapades - including her thongkini collection on vacation - Anitta's outfit elicited the defiant energy of the early-2000s punk-rock scene. Her Namilia halter top was composed of vegan leather and featured silver ring detailing that continued up and around the thick choker design. Anitta styled the piece with a pair of POU cargo pants complete with multiple pockets and a plunging zipper that created the illusion of layered...

Dua Lipa Shows Off Her "Sun Bum" in a Pair of Suede Micro Shorts

Image Source: Getty / Axelle / Bauer-Griffin / FilmMagic Dua Lipa proves less is more with her latest summer ensemble. On Aug. 27, the singer looked ready to hit the runway in a pair of designer micro shorts made for summer vacation. The $3,600 Miu Miu shorts featured a cheeky, high-cut silhouette and a matching suede belt fitted with a gold-tone buckle. Reminiscent of the hot pants trend of the 1970s (and later the '90s), Lipa's look was the ultimate nod to retro summer style. "Sun bum," she captioned photos of her outfit on Instagram. Lipa isn't the only celebrity to experiment with the teeny-tiny shorts trend in recent months: Billie Eilish and Millie Bobby Brown both previously gave the trend their stamp of approval. Something about Lipa's choice to style the shorts so casually, though, accentuated the dramatic silhouette. She paired the bottoms with a ribbed Miu Miu tank top in ivory and silver jewelry, including a rhinestone necklace, a delicate wa...

Fans Think Bad Bunny's "K" Necklace Is a Tribute to Kendall Jenner

A picture speaks a thousand words, and Bad Bunny's necklace says it all. In a video posted to Instagram Stories on Aug. 27, the rapper showed off a delicate gold chain with a golden "K" initial charm, presumably for his rumored girlfriend, Kendall Jenner . In fact, the necklace might just be a gift from Jenner herself, with fans saying she wore the exact same jewelry for a September 2022 Vogue video, per E! News . Although the two have kept the status of their relationship mostly private, they've seemed to be getting more comfortable in the public eye, recently stepping out for date night and showing some PDA at a Drake concert . Who knew it would be a necklace to finally make them Instagram official? As Bad Bunny filmed himself singing along to "Los Que Son" in the car, he gave his followers a better look at the necklace, featuring simple hammered gold and a dainty chain. Jenner also wore the necklace on "The Kardashians" season two , suggesti...

Jordyn Woods Shows Off Her Tattoo in a Green Backless Dress

Jordyn Woods is back and better than ever. On Aug. 22, the model and influencer posted from her trip to the Philippines wearing a satin green Meshki dress. The asymmetrical garment included an off-the-shoulder sleeve and slanted hemline. When she turned to highlight the dress's open back, Woods also showed off her rarely seen back tattoo, featuring each of the seven chakras, or energy centers. Woods first debuted her tattoo back in 2015. "Somewhere in the Philippines," she captioned the Instagram gallery, posing in her hotel. Woods kept the focus on the back of her dress by sweeping her hair into an effortless braided updo. She accessorized further with abstract drop earrings from 8 Other Reasons and a matching silver bracelet. The rest of the look gave off a quiet luxury vibe, ensuring all focus was on the classic dress and tiny chakras trailing down the center of her spine. Quiet luxury, a term made mainstream thanks to Sofia Richie Grainge's minimalist wardrob...

This Anthropologie Maxi Is the Most Flattering Dress I Own

As quirky as it may be, one of my favorite shopping activities is scrolling through the websites of my go-to retailers and scouring their bestsellers page. Oftentimes, I don't even need to be looking for a particular style or product - and usually don't wind up buying anything anyway - but I love the inspiration that comes from finding new covetable pieces, creating outfits in my head, and perusing reviews from other shoppers, all while getting a sense of what to expect from the upcoming season's biggest fashion trends .

If you're a regular shopper at Anthropologie, then you're probably all too familiar wit...

Mary Janes Are Trending For Fall, and This Pair Is My Absolute Favorite

As one of fashion's most revered proverbs clearly states: everything comes back into style eventually. It's a tale as old as time and one that we're witnessing yet again as Mary Janes have made their return to mainstream street style - with everyone from celebrities like Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo to trend forecasters like Alexa Chung embracing the silhouette in all of its preppy glory. Market nostalgia has proven to be a hot-seller this year (as evidenced by the success of Barbiecore fashion ), so perhaps it isn't too surprising that the shoe once regarded as a staple in your elementary school wardrobe - even if you didn't realize it at the time - has come back in a big way. My personal style tends to err on the vintage side, so Mary Janes have always felt like a natural fit within my own wardrobe. Unfortunately, for as darling as they look while on, I've often found the silhouette to be debilitatingly uncomfortable. No matter the size, brand, or even ...
