The Open-Back Fashion Trend Has Hollywood in a Chokehold

Naked dresses and boob-window cutouts are slowly taking a back seat to the next big fashion trend on the rise: backless silhouettes. Celebrities are fueling the craze by wearing open-back outfits at red carpet events, fashion shows, and beyond. The phrase "business in the front, party in the back" has never been more applicable. Backless dresses were a popular pick at the 2023 MTV VMAs in September, with singers including Shakira , Kelsea Ballerini, and Dove Cameron wearing gowns that dipped so low, they nearly showed butt cleavage . The trend has popped up plenty during Fashion Month , too; Irina Shayk modeled a metallic halter dress with a completely open back on the Mowalola runway at London Fashion Week, while Hailey Bieber, Emma Chamberlain , and Cara Delevingne attended shows in back-exposing looks. Stars aren't only choosing backless outfits for fancy red carpet outings. Just take it from Dua Lipa, Jordyn Woods, and Jennifer Lopez , who've all repped the...

16 Best Joggers For Dressing Up or Down

Once categorized as activewear, joggers have become one of our go-to wardrobe essentials , thanks to their comfort and versatility. While their popularity boomed during the pandemic, fashionable details like ribbing, pintuck seams, zippered pockets, and ankle cuffs have elevated them from low-key loungewear to something you want to be seen in outside of the house. Some of our favorite ways to style joggers include a high-low mashup, juxtaposing baggier sweats with blazers and stilettos or crop tops and kitten heels. For an ultracozy look to wear outside of the gym, we love seeking out luxurious loungewear materials like cashmere . Whether you splurge on a high-end fabric or opt for other soft knits, it's easy to create a cuddle-worthy but polished look.

The Boyfriend Shirt Is Having a Moment, From Selena Gomez to Kendall Jenner

Button-downs are a classic wardrobe essential , and probably one of the first items you consider when getting dressed for work , layering under a suit, or even packing for a beach vacation . But lately, the oversize boyfriend shirt has reigned supreme when it comes to cuts, with many celebrities reaching for boxy silhouettes that can be worn open or closed. Of course, their styling tactics run the gamut, but even when the resulting look is sexy and bold, it's still wearable. Kendall Jenner wore her pinstripe boyfriend shirt as a loose dress over a pair of hot pants, for example, helping her pull off the no pants trend in a less daring way. Gigi Hadid and Gabrielle Union , meanwhile, exhibited prowess for baring a flash of ab when they wore their shirts unbuttoned at the top and bottom. This is a decidedly more relaxed and casual approach to wearing an oversize button-down, and Hadid and Union make a case for keeping things streamlined in a monochrome color palette. Meanwhile, Se...

Taylor Swift is starting football season in style. On Sept. 24, the 33-year-old singer continued her Eras tour break with a game day at Arrowhead Stadium as she watched the Chicago Bears play against the Kansas City Chiefs, where her rumored beau Travis Kelce plays as a tight end.

At New York Fashion Week , we saw a Falguni Shane Peacock collaboration with Law Roach , Naeem Khan's glamorous beadwork inspired by his Indian background, and Prabal Gurung's contemporary silhouettes in pastels and metallic tones taking the runway.

Everything to Know About the Engagement Rings on "Love Is Blind"

If you're a fan of Netflix's " Love Is Blind ," then you may be curious about the engagement rings , which are either chosen on set or brought in ( Kyle Abrams presented his mom's ring to Shaina Hurley during season two , for example). Knowing that on " The Bachelor " and " The Bachelorette ," the jewelry is entirely provided by Neil Lane , you have to wonder how much shopping the men on "LIB" could possibly be getting done outside of the pods, while they're holed up from the outside world. What's more, if you're looking closely, you may notice similarities in some of the women's engagement rings. In fact, in season one, it appeared Lauren Speed, Jessica Batten, and Amber Pike wore identical rings following their proposals. According to Netflix, all the men are presented with dozens of rings to choose from, unless they brought their own. "Whatever they choose, we pay for. Whatever we pay for, they keep, regar...

I Styled the Iconic Adidas Samba Like Rihanna and Hailey Bieber

My obsession with the Adidas Samba first began in fifth grade. One of my classmates wore the OG classic in black nearly every day, teamed with a pair of Soffe shorts that were rolled precisely three times at the waist. She always beat the boys at soccer during recess. I admired her fashion sense from a young age, and I think that's because she wore her outfits with confidence and exuded a certain toughness - especially in her Sambas. It's possible she was even my very first style crush. Today, retro sneakers are having a resurgence, and that certainly doesn't exclude the iconic Samba, a low-top with three recognizable stripes, the Trefoil-embossed logo at the heel, and a gum rubber outsole. It was, in fact, created as a versatile soccer shoe by the brand in 1950. Particularly impressed by the quirkiness of Hadid's outfit and the bold brilliance of Rihanna's, I aimed to settle on the answer to an age-old query: how to wear Adidas Sambas. The celebrity support ...

8 Jeans Trends to Shop in 2023, From Cargo to Low-Rise

Denim is a perfect blank canvas upon which anything is possible. But just like with any classic wardrobe essential , jeans trends come and go. While denim does, indeed, stand apart with the notion that a straight fit in a true-blue colorway will remain in favor, there are certainly head-turning cuts, of-the-moment silhouettes, and specific decades-old washes that cycle in and out of style. And modern touches (for example, an asymmetrical waistband , undone fly , or an overly exaggerated slit) mean anything is possible. In 2023, we're seeing a rise in popularity of the ankle crop and distressed treatments that range from unfinished hems to redone patchwork. Pleated trousers, dramatically pooling wide legs, and formfitting boot-cut flares are also everywhere, with these more standout shapes hailing from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Meanwhile, the low rise from the early aughts isn't going anywhere, with celebrities favoring the look, particularly when completed with ...

I'm Buying This $40 Old Navy Cardigan in Every Color - Here's Why

One thing you should know about me is my deep familiarity with Old Navy's new arrivals . It's not just a personal passion; it's an essential part of my job to stay updated on the brand's latest and most exciting offerings. This entails being super swift (!) in securing items before they vanish from the shelves - a lesson I learned the hard way. For instance, last year, I stumbled upon a cozy collared sweater that instantly caught my eye. I decided to take some time to contemplate my purchase decision, and when I returned the following day, I found it had completely sold out. That said, you can imagine my excitement when I chanced upon a nearly identical version for this season. Let me introduce you to the Old Navy Shaker-Stitch Collared Cardigan Sweater ($40), which I somehow love even more than expected. Ahead, I break down everything I love about it and why you should scoop it up while it's still in stock. What I Love About the Old Navy Shaker-Stitch Collared...

Why Celebs Are Wearing Their Pants Unbuttoned on Purpose

While you could give up pants altogether , the latest celebrity street-style trend provides an option for those who are on the fence. Undone pants are a happy medium, making for a look that's flirty, effortless, and even a bit disheveled. Simply unbutton and unzip your fly, and fold over the waistband of your slacks to your liking, perhaps even to reveal a hint of hip cleavage . And while the trend certainly isn't relegated to jeans or even pants, this styling technique is easier executed in denim, since most jeans maintain a certain structure and stiffness that help keep your bottoms in place. While the aesthetic was first introduced on runways as early as the fall 2020 season (see: Jacquemus ), it actually harks back to Y2K fashion, when celebrities favored the low-rise silhouette. Stars like Aaliyah spearheaded the look, stepping out in baggy, unzippered jeans baring just a glimpse of their logo-bearing undergarments . The trend began to materialize again in September 202...

TikTok Star April Lockhart Is Expanding the World of Adaptive Fashion

Image Source: Courtesy of April Lockhart / Photo Illustration by Aly Lim Until recently, adaptive fashion - specially designed clothing for people who have difficulty dressing themselves - has been little more than a legend in the disabled community. Thanks to fashion content creators like April Lockhart , however, conversations surrounding the need for accessible fashion have transcended the hypothetical realm of "maybe someday." In making their voices heard, Lockhart and her fellow disabled fashion influencers have laid the groundwork for an adaptive fashion revolution. A self-described "disabled fashion girlie," Lockhart, who was born with amniotic band syndrome, has spent nearly two years fostering an online community for disabled people to share their stories in the context of fashion. "Disabilities are so different within the sphere of the disabled community," Lockhart tells POPSUGAR. "My disability can be so vastly different than someone el...
