The Sneaker Trends to Know This Fall

The Sneaker Trends to Know This Fall

Sneakers this fall are slimmer, sleeker and more varied in colour than the chunky pairs of the past few years. These picks cover crisp white pairs, slim black styles, suede runners, silver sneakers and a few in bolder shades. Pick the one that suits your wardrobe and wear it with everything from jeans to skirts.

Easing Into The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane

Easing Into The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is the brand's own mild first step into retinol. Here is the ladder it sits on, plus the comfort pieces and gentle retinols from other labels that make a night easier.

Wine and Oxblood Lipstick for Cold Weather

Wine and Oxblood Lipstick for Cold Weather

Wine and oxblood are the dark red lipstick shades that feel right the minute the leaves turn. Here are the burgundies, brown-reds and dark liners I would wear from the first cold night to New Year's.

The Case for Buying One Good Bag a Year

The Case for Buying One Good Bag a Year

Buying one considered bag a year beats replacing one every time a feed trend shifts. The habit works because a bag earns its keep through repetition, the same handle showing up on errands, at work, and on weekends until it becomes part of how you dress. This edit gathers everyday totes, evening clutches, and a few distinctive designer shapes so the choice can be about which job your current lineup still fails to do.

Fall Layering, One Piece at a Time

Fall Layering, One Piece at a Time

Good fall layering starts with a few simple pieces that stack without bulk. These outfits show stripes under a trench, a shirt under a sweater, a vest over everything and a suede skirt with a turtleneck and scarf. Add one layer at a time and stop when the outfit feels balanced.

Glossy Lips Without the Stickiness

Glossy Lips Without the Stickiness

Glossy lips no longer have to mean hair stuck to your mouth, because the new glosses, oils and balms are cushiony, hydrating and comfortable. These are the glosses I would wear out, the lip oils for every day, and the glossy balms and treatments for night.

The Jean Skirt Update Worth Making This Year

The Jean Skirt Update Worth Making This Year

A familiar fabric feels fresh when the shape changes.

A CeraVe Cleanser Is the Quiet Start of a Barrier-Minded Routine

A CeraVe Cleanser Is the Quiet Start of a Barrier-Minded Routine

A CeraVe cleanser is where a lot of people begin, and the name itself tells you why: ceramides are in the formula and the idea. Here are the four washes I would look at first, the gentle gels and creams for anyone who wants a change, and the ceramide moisturizers that finish the job.

numbuzin, Explained by Number: No.3, No.5, No.9 and Beyond

numbuzin, Explained by Number: No.3, No.5, No.9 and Beyond

numbuzin is the Korean skincare brand that turns skin concerns into numbers, and I have sorted the line so the numbers make sense. Here are the No.3 and No.5 toners and serums, the rest of the lineup from No.1 to No.9, and Korean favorites from other brands.

White Jeans in Winter

White Jeans in Winter

White and cream jeans worn the cold-weather way: under a long dark coat, with loafers or a low boot and a pair of dark sunglasses.

La Vie Est Belle: Three Perfumers, One Praline Heart, a Golden Rose

La Vie Est Belle: Three Perfumers, One Praline Heart, a Golden Rose

La vie est belle has been on dressing tables since 2012, and its iris and praline heart still sets the tone for sweet perfume. Here is every La vie est belle bottle in the edit, the Idôle bottles beside them, and the gourmand scents that share the sugar.

Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue, Still the Smell of a Sicilian Summer

Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue, Still the Smell of a Sicilian Summer

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue launched in 2001 and never really left the shelf, which says something about how well lemon, apple and cedar age. Here are the Light Blue bottles, the other Dolce&Gabbana scents that live beside them, and a few easy summer fragrances from elsewhere.

Redken Shampoo: The Salon Line, Sorted By What Your Hair Needs

Redken Shampoo: The Salon Line, Sorted By What Your Hair Needs

Redken shampoo started in 1960 with an actress who had baby-fine hair and no salon products that worked for her. That actress, Paula Kent, built the brand with hairdresser Jheri Redding on the idea that hair care should match hair and skin's natural pH. Now it is an L'Oréal line sold through salons, and I sort it here by what each shampoo is actually built to fix.

The Princess Polly Red Dress Is Engineered For Photos

The Princess Polly Red Dress Is Engineered For Photos

The princess polly red dress is built with a very specific end use in mind. These are going-out clothes designed to photograph well under bad lighting. Understanding that makes the whole range make sense.

GINORI 1735

GINORI 1735

GINORI 1735 traces its story to Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori, who founded a porcelain manufactory near Florence in 1735 after becoming fascinated by Europe’s new “white gold.” The Doccia tradition grew through vivid color, sculptural forms and a willingness to let tableware carry the drama of a room. This selection keeps that tension alive across serving pieces, vases, candleholders and small objects for a table that does not need to behave.

Sculptural Silver Jewelry for Fall

Sculptural Silver Jewelry for Fall

Sculptural silver earrings, cuffs, bracelets, necklaces and rings, from Sophie Buhai and Khaite to Jenny Bird under $150, with notes on wearing silver with fall colors.

Art Deco Jewelry Is Having a Revival

Art Deco Jewelry Is Having a Revival

Art Deco jewelry is back, with onyx, jade, mother of pearl, spirals and fan shapes turning up across new collections. This edit covers the pieces themselves, from carved stone necklaces to geometric gold, and the dresses and bags to wear with them. Most of it works just as well with a sweater as with a gown.

DKNY Be Delicious and the Apple and Pear Perfumes Like It

DKNY Be Delicious and the Apple and Pear Perfumes Like It

DKNY Be Delicious turned a green apple into the most recognizable perfume bottle of the 2000s, and the family keeps growing. Here are the Be Delicious bottles I would tell apart, plus apple, pear and citrus perfumes for anyone who loves that crisp, juicy idea.

The White Fitted Dress Is The Whole Outfit

The White Fitted Dress Is The Whole Outfit

The white fitted dress asks more of you than almost anything else in a wardrobe, because there is no print to hide behind and no volume to forgive a seam. Ponte, mesh, ruched jersey and crepe all solve that differently. Here is the current spread.

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist: The Body-First Scent, Plus Soft Musk Alternatives

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist: The Body-First Scent, Plus Soft Musk Alternatives

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist began in 1994 as body care, and the fragrance followed as the last step of a ritual. Here is how the line fits together, then the soft musks and woody body mists that sit nearby. Start with the lotion and finish with the spray.

Chunky Loafers Are the Only Shoe That Works All Autumn

Chunky Loafers Are the Only Shoe That Works All Autumn

The flat that replaced the ankle boot is not a boot at all. Chunky loafers do the same job with less commitment, and they sit under a wide jean without any of the fuss. These eight are the versions with a sole worth the name.

Maybelline Concealer: The Eraser, Fit Me And The Rest Of The Drawer

Maybelline Concealer: The Eraser, Fit Me And The Rest Of The Drawer

The Maybelline concealer line is the drugstore staple beauty editors rarely admit to. Here is how the Eraser, Fit Me and Lifter differ, which brighter and longer-wear concealers sit beside them, and the powders that lock them down. Pick by texture and undertone, not coverage alone.

Paris Hilton Perfume, Bottle by Bottle: From Can Can to the Rush Family

Paris Hilton Perfume, Bottle by Bottle: From Can Can to the Rush Family

Paris Hilton perfume started in 2004 and has grown into a shelf of more than thirty bottles, so it helps to have a map. Here are the classics, the Rush family, and four sweet, fruity perfumes from other houses that sit well beside them.

Lipgloss Worth Wearing: Sheer, Tinted, Stick And Balm Glosses

Lipgloss Worth Wearing: Sheer, Tinted, Stick And Balm Glosses

Lipgloss has been rebranded twice and still has not gone away. Here is how I would choose one by job, from high shine sheers and tinted washes to gloss sticks and balm hybrids that never feel sticky.

The Missoni Robe Turns The Zigzag Into Morning Wear

The Missoni Robe Turns The Zigzag Into Morning Wear

Missoni's terry robes carry the house zigzag and chevron patterns woven into the cloth rather than printed on top of it, which is the only way the geometry survives a napped surface. That technique is the same logic the house has always used on knitwear, just applied to something you wear out of the shower. This edit weighs the hooded styles against the more classic belted shape.

Detangler Spray Is the Small Step That Makes Wash Day Bearable

Detangler Spray Is the Small Step That Makes Wash Day Bearable

Detangler spray is the fastest way to get a comb through wet, knotted hair without tearing it. The newer formulas also prime for styling, protect from heat or add slip for curls and coils. These twelve cover multitaskers, pre-styling primers and gentler options for sensitive scalps and textured hair.
