Fashion & Trend

They say the only way forward is to never look back. But if fashion’s revolving door of widely hated trends is any indication , the true key to innovation is by pushing through what pains you. In other words: The future is here, and it’s full of chock full of capri pants. RELATED: How to Style Low-Rise Jeans This Spring You can thank/blame celebrities. Earlier in May, Jennifer Lawrence made headlines in New York City after wearing a baggy pinstripe button-down with equally XL capri pants from The Row and a pair of ballet flats . A few months earlier, Halsey attended the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2023 show in a lime green bra and a pair of low-slung cropped cargos, putting a dramatic take on the tiny-top big-bottom trend. We’d be remiss not to mention Bella Hadid , whose trend-transcending wardrobe has long included bottoms that are cropped just so . With each new street-style look, stars are spreading the redemption of capris like a virtual virus. And…we fear we’re ill. 📸 Jennifer ...

Warning: Spoilers for the Succession finale ahead. Throughout the four turbulent seasons of Succession , viewers are trained not to think much of Tom Wambsgans. Played by Matthew Macfadyen, the weakling husband to Shiv Roy and puppet leader of ATN is a textbook hanger-on; always aligning with whoever is at the helm of Waystar Royco and seemingly void of any morals of his own. He’s not a force, he’s a follower. This is why, when he is named U.S. CEO of Waystar in the series finale, it comes as quite a shock. But this ending may have been under our noses all along. Look no further than his style. RELATED: Succession Has Mastered the Art of Quiet Luxury From the onset, one thing is clear about Tom: he likes nice things. And in a show that is intentionally lowkey about fashion , he talks about clothes a lot . As someone who wasn’t born into one-per-center wealth like the Roys, he broadcasts his expensive taste in an effort to assert his status. When he mocks the “ ludicrously capaciou...

Gregory Grist doesn’t need glasses. At least, not really. “My prescription is so negligible that they just prevent me from having headaches,” he laughs. So why does he currently have 200 pairs of eyewear in his Toronto apartment? It’s a long story. RELATED: This Collector is Bringing Helmut Lang’s Sexy Back Grist has always loved to play dress-up. “Growing up, there were a lot of costumes and giant foam heads in our house,” he shares. “We’ve always been a wacky family, and I think that really sparked my creativity.” After high school, the collector moved from his hometown in Nova Scotia to Southern Ontario to pursue a career in fashion design before pivoting to visual merchandising. But it wasn’t until 2011 and an impromptu job offer at Optical Outlook , an eyewear boutique in Yorkville, that his obsession truly took off, and he’s been there ever since. At first glance, Grist’s collection looks chaotic: a mismatch of metals and plastic crammed into an antique armoire that looks abo...

This article was originally published on April 12, 2023 and has been updated.  The ultimate billionaire perk? Dressing like you just don’t care. Call it recession core , call it the old money aesthetic , call it straight-up basic — lately, “quiet luxury” has been everywhere. RELATED:  The Beauty in  Succession  Is More Intentional Than You Think Succession characters wear exclusively discreetly exorbitant clothes. Gwyneth Paltrow’s skiing accident courtroom fiasco doubled as a master class in stealth wealth. Recent runways have been leaning further into refined minimalism . Practical and sensible, yet painfully expensive, quiet luxury is bare-bones dressing void of labels and flashy embellishments. The antithesis of Barbiecore’s audacious oeuvre — it’s muted, toned-down, and always low-key. In this dimension, a $2,890 USD Burberry check carrier is profane . But a logo-less Celine leather tote ? Pure class, baby! Thing is, when you’re that well off, you don...
