  • What To Wear To A Late Summer Wedding

    What To Wear To A Late Summer Wedding

    by Sarah Morrison

    The bite in the midnight air says it all: the dog days of summer are indeed in short supply.

    Blink and you might miss it: ever so slightly the shift begins, as the late summer breeze picks up speed—evermore so by the day—tempered only briefly by still-pleasant conditions in the midafternoon sun. As the sun descends, the crisp air drifts right on in and we find ourselves parting with barely-there numbers and reaching for the nearest knit instead. And, naturally, as we transition from the thick of summer to the cusp of its cooler counterpart around the corner, so too does the nature of our social calendar activities. And if hazy days spent traipsing from beach to barbeque and al fresco dinners is the cornerstone of July and August, than outdoor weddings are what September is truly made of.

    If you ask me, a September wedding simply can’t be beat. With only a trace left of the humidity from months prior, we revel in delightful afternoons that warm us but don’t overwhelm. The stretch of extended daylight, albeit smaller, is still substantial enough for the expected outdoor wedding activities: bridal photo shoots, a garden or seaside ceremony, cocktails at sunset and the like fit right in without issue. And with the bulk of summer now behind us, calendars are greatly freed up, leaving guests feeling a bit more relaxed and primed for the off-season excitement that September weddings usher in.

    Another trademark of a September wedding? Fickle temperatures and increasingly breezy nights. With temperatures flirting between balmy in late afternoon and downright brisk by dusk, selecting a dress airy enough for the day and insulated enough for keeping evening chills at bay is a delicate dance.

    Where fabrication is concerned, aim for styles in crêpe, georgette or silk chiffon for effortless refinement that’s breathable and also ideal for cooler nights. Try a sleeveless plissé number that can be styled on its own for the afternoon and coordinated with a gauzy wrap for a more practical look by sundown. Or, perhaps pick up a long-sleeved fluid silk style that’s streamlined and sensible for when the evening breeze creeps in.

    With a little forward thinking, any way you slice it, you’ll earn major points towards best dressed for the weekend. So, without further ado, take your pick of these 9 exceptionally chic wedding guest dresses and be on your merry way.

  • 7 Off-Duty Shirt Styles For Now and For Later

    7 Off-Duty Shirt Styles For Now and For Later

    by Sarah Morrison

    Sartorially speaking, there is perhaps no better feeling than slipping into a favorite worn-in tee at the end of a long workday.

    While today’s days (and weeks) may feel drastically different than their pre-quarantine predecessors, the term, ‘off-duty’ certainly has weight for those aiming to mentally separate work and play.

    If you’re like me, then you’ve by all accounts pared down your wardrobe to consist of a few key ‘stay-at-home’ staples: leggings, pullovers, soft tees, and the like. And for those ever-important Zoom meetings, and the occasional interview, we can always rely on smart-casual pieces for extra polish.

    But by and large, as of late, casual wear continues to reign supreme as we find ourselves spending more time at home. When it comes to refreshing a more simplified wardrobe, particularly for casual wear, you can’t go wrong with a thoughtfully designed linen button-up, or a statement-worthy tee, equally rich in function and in chic style. And, with small businesses in need now more than ever, what better way to find that unique quality than with a chic design from an up-and-coming designer? Here, 7 shirt styles you can shop to support small business, and find your new favorite off-duty look, to boot.

  • 7 Pairs of Mom Jeans That Are As Stylish As Ever

    7 Pairs of Mom Jeans That Are As Stylish As Ever

    by Sarah Morrison

    What’s decidedly vintage, as comfortable as can be, and surprisingly stylish (if you look hard enough)? The answer is, of course, those high-waisted numbers that are Mom Jeans. Still tinged with their not-so-stylish reputation from decades past (for reasons beyond me!), Mom Jeans are often a point of contention in the fashion world. Outside of the fashion set, many shoppers still peg Mom Jeans as a piece that—as the name suggests—is exclusively worn by mothers who just can’t be bothered. But alas, the 80’s and 90’s are a distant memory, and while the era still has its hold over us (sartorially speaking), the dated takes of what we now affectionately call Mom Jeans are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

    Over the years, we’ve seen numerous translations of the Mom Jean enter our realm of vision. Equal parts stylish and comfortable, this high-waisted, easy-fitting silhouette works wonders in elongating one’s figure and in accentuating one’s best assets. Today, shoppers are delighted to find versions that range from the light washed and distressed, to the lived-in All-Americana blue, to the streamlined dark and stormy wash (and beyond). But where to look, you may ask, to achieve that look that speaks to both vintage charm and contemporary cool? Your search is over, for the below roundup is all you need to channel that throwback off-duty vibe, wherever you may be.

  • 9 Black-Owned Brands You Can Support Right Now

    9 Black-Owned Brands You Can Support Right Now

    by Sarah Morrison

    As a Black female founder — the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs today — I recognize my station in this realm to be a unique one.

    Since 2007, the number of businesses owned by African-American women has grown by 164%. Out of all women-owned businesses in the United States, nearly half, or 44%, are controlled by minority women. That figure is up from 20% in 1997.

    Now while the progress of Black entrepreneurs is palpable, the oppression still faced on the pathway to, and within self-employment itself, is just as potent.

    In the U.S. alone, Black entrepreneurs receive just 1% of all venture capital (VC) funding from the over 1,000 VC firms that exist today. Black entrepreneurs are also twice as likely to be rejected for a bank loan than their White counterparts. And in Corporate America, BIPOC are routinely on the receiving end of implicitly bias behavior, like fewer interview callbacks, fewer promotions, and other discriminatory practices.

    The truth is, these realities are a stark reminder of the systemic racism BIPOC must often contend with on the path to career-building. And for Black entrepreneurs, these injustices only compound the challenges that confront business owners — BIPOC or otherwise — face on a regular basis.

    So how can we work to change the narrative? Let us, as individuals and communities, show up for Black-owned businesses in our purchasing decisions. Let us show up for Black-owned businesses in our advocacy efforts. Let us show up for Black-owned businesses as we listen, learn, and advance their talents (and their work). Ahead, 10 Black-owned brands to consider as we champion the Black community, now and always.

  • Meeting Your S.O.’s Parents? These Are The 5 Style Rules To Remember

    Meeting Your S.O.’s Parents? These Are The 5 Style Rules To Remember

    by Sarah Morrison

    Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means for many of us, family reunions and friendly gatherings aplenty are the new normal from now until New Year’s. And for those of us also in a new relationship, we may find ourselves fraught with one occasion that is certainly much more daunting than convivial. That is, meeting the S.O.’s parents.

    If it wasn’t difficult enough to exercise all of our charm and charisma in one fell swoop, meeting the S.O.’s parents also presents us with quite the sartorial challenge. Now while we wish the coveted stamp of approval could be won on the merits of our own shining personality, the reality is, our outfit can make or break that first impression.

    Which leaves us wondering: can we achieve a look that perfectly encapsulates our sophistication without feeling contrived? One that is understated and effortless, all without sacrificing the hallmarks of everything that makes our individual style unique?

    Without question, the answer is, a resounding yes.

    Paying attention to fit and fabric, alongside our own body type and aesthetic, an outfit worthy of parental approval (and all the more) can become a tangible reality. Need proof? Simply look to these to 5 styling rules practically made for winning over the ‘rents this fall season.

    1. Easy Silhouettes

    @sarahchristine

    If there ever was a time to embrace the practicality of an easy-fitting sweater or blouse, meeting the parents is certainly the occasion. Clean lines and a forgiving fit evoke a sense of understatement that ensures your personality is enhanced, and not overshadowed by your outfit. To create subtle definition, incorporate a french tuck into a midi skirt or a high-waisted pant.

    2. Subtle Texture or Color

    @darjabarannik

    Infuse interest and personality into an otherwise fluid outfit by mixing in a healthy dose of unexpected texture or color. Pair a strong belt with a knee-length pleated skirt, throw on a printed scarf in a coordinating tone, or opt for a sophisticated layer in an always-classic plaid or houndstooth pattern.

    3. Practical Layering

    @parisinfourmonths

    Show Mom and Dad your commitment to sensible styling by playing with knit-on-knit or mixed media in your first public ensemble. A sleeveless blazer over a cozy turtleneck is forever foolproof, as is layering a buttery-soft leather jacket over a cotton or silk blouse.

    4. A Smart Heel Height

    @babba

    It goes without saying the stilettos can take a breather here. And while you don’t have to drift into kitten heel territory, a still-modest 3-4inch heel or ankle bootie can look the part, too. If flats are more your speed, try a slingback version for an ultra-modern update.

    5. Refined Craftsmanship

    @sincerelyjules

    It’s all in the details. Fabrics like merino wool, cashmere, chiffon silk are beloved for their durability, polish, fit, and unmatched level of comfort. Aim to include at least one of these fabrics in your ensemble and you’ll elevate your look, instantly.

  • 4 Fresh Ways To Wear A Turtleneck

    4 Fresh Ways To Wear A Turtleneck

    by Sarah Morrison

    If florals (yes, groundbreaking) are the picture of enduring spring style, then consider the turtleneck fall’s definitive holy grail.

    Ask any fashionista and she (or he) will tell you: nine times out of ten, an A+ autumn look has the foolproof turtleneck to thank for all the praise—no questions asked.

    The appeal is easy (and we think evangelists like Rachel Green would agree), turtlenecks are sleek by nature, professional yet still so feminine, and get along with nearly everything in our wardrobe—past, future and present. Put simply, it’s the wardrobe polish we need, and one that dares to never date.

    Outliving the alternatives, refined fabrics like merino wool and cashmere elevate the silhouette exponentially, but wool blend or cotton numbers can look the part, too. And when they’re put into service by a few interesting style hacks? Well, let’s just say, gear up to turn heads by the dozens (and thank us a little later).

    1. Layered under a boatneck sweater

    Knit-on-knit needs no explaining: it’s forever chic. Double the interest by pairing your turtleneck with a juxtaposing boatneck sweater (bonus points if it has a chic split back!)

    2. Layered under a t-shirt

    Put those old graphic tees to good use. It’s off-duty, made easy.

    3. Layered under a dress or jumpsuit

    @emily_luciano (Instagram)

    Slip your knit under a silk number for ultra-cool contrast. Up the impact by adding a structured blazer on top.

    4. Layered under a wool vest

    @waityouneedthis (Instagram)

    Flattering, functional, and chic. What could be better?

  • 5 Perfect White Tees For Your Off-Duty Look

    5 Perfect White Tees For Your Off-Duty Look

    Originally published on July 31, 2019.

    by Sarah Morrison

    Legend has it, the perfect white tee can changes lives.

    I say this with only the slightest bit of tongue-in-cheek delivery, as myself (and many others) can attest, finding that perfect off-duty item—be it the perfect white tee—is like experiencing the world’s most luxurious mattress. Your life will never be the same. Similarly, that favorite sweatshirt, a treasured pair of slacks, the leggings you want to live in…the list goes on for creations to covet. And within each one of these wonders runs a current of commonality, the thread that ties them all together: superior comfort.

    If you’re like me, then you very well know that comfort drives the majority of all wardrobe decisions when off the clock (and heck, even on the clock, for that matter). This time of year, with high season at its peak, my personal comfort is derived from any piece that’s breathable enough to keep me cool in my non-air-conditioned apartment (or out about town, running from one errand to the next). That’s where the ever-classic white tee comes into play. Intrinsically comfortable with its soft fabrication, clean lines, and easy shape, it’s the one building block that transcends seasons (looking just as chic solo as it does layered under a sturdy leather jacket!) and exudes off-duty ease without even trying.

    Now take those qualities and amplify them to unprecedented levels and what do you have? A wardrobe staple that elevates the everyday beyond measure. Here, I’ve rounded up 5 minimal-chic white tee styles that will help you blend in, yet also stand out—consider them your blank canvas for drawing up your own distinctive off-duty look.

  • 6 Activewear Brands Every Stylish Woman Should Know Right Now

    6 Activewear Brands Every Stylish Woman Should Know Right Now

    by Sarah Morrison

    As a positively reluctant gym goer partial to business casual, my workout wardrobe (or should I say athleisure wardrobe) certainly leaves much to be desired. Often left high-and-dry (no pun intended!) more times than I care to admit, the performance pants of yesteryear that comprise my fitness drawer are certainly nothing to write home about. But now, as a freshly minted fashion writer, I can’t afford to leave any sartorial stone unturned any longer (or forgo the gym for that matter—after all, summer’s right around the corner!). Which is why, with a little help from my friends at Google, I’ve taken to the web to scour its furthest reaches in order to bring you my personal lens on the most functional and stylish activewear gems out there today. Without further ado, the 6 brands to help you power your way through.

    1. P.E. Nation

    Hailing from the land down under, Australian label P.E. Nation—a favorite of It-girls worldwide—has claimed a spot in the world of coveted sportswear thanks to its eye-catching offering of body-sculpting pieces fit for any workout imaginable. Its spirited, 70’s-tinged sensibility, imbued with graphic appeal, embodies the very definition of downtown cool. We’ll be channeling their “tomboy meets city girl” aesthetic whenever possible, thank you.

    2. ADAY

    To the gym or simply to brunch? Keep them guessing when you don ADAY: the New York-based technical clothing brand equipped with a transeasonal collection of mix-and-match pieces versatile enough for any woman-on-the-go. Each piece of ADAY’s stylish collection is crafted in high-tech fabric, imparting an enduring quality that looks as good as it feels. What’s more, the brand’s less-is-more approach to design lends a much-needed eco-friendly touch. Transitioning from barre to brunch has never looked chicer (or more sustainable!).

    3. Koral

    The laidback spirit of California meets the dynamic energy of Brazil in each of Koral’s perfectly engineered pieces. All those who value both form and fashion will warmly embrace the flattering silhouettes that Koral continues to churn out season after season. Punctuated by contemporary design elements galore (think mesh and faux leather), Koral is every fashion girl’s athleisure dream.

    Rooted in a palette of whimsical florals and playful prints, another Australian favorite, The Upside, is leading the way for of-the-moment athleisure. A fresh sensibility marries high-tech craftsmanship to elevate every key piece in one’s workout wardrobe. Spotted on celebs such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Bella Hadid and the like, it’s the model off-duty look reimagined.

    Turkish Tile Yoga Pant ($139), Turkish Tile Ballet Bra ($79), The Upside Logo Cap in White ($49), Clean Track Pant in Mushroom ($169)

    5. LNDR

    On the cutting edge of innovative sportswear lies LNDR—a (you guessed it!) London-based brand that’s disrupting the industry in more ways than one. A must-have for the minimally-minded, the brand is raising the bar with its exclusive collection of streamlined weather-proof jackets and temperature-regulating sports bras, leggings and shorts. Marked by its high-compression, yet breathable construction, LNDR is the second-skin you didn’t think you needed in your life.

  • What To Pack For A Stylish Weekend On The Slopes

    What To Pack For A Stylish Weekend On The Slopes

    by Sarah Morrison

    The garlands were grand, the festive attire, plentiful, and to be truthful, we’ve never met a champagne toast we didn’t like.

    Holiday season, you never fail to impress.

    Now while the seasonal cheer was a sight to behold, for those adventuresses among us, we look ahead to another treasured tradition; this time, at an altitude much higher than that of your typical Christmas tree.

    Enter: Mountain time.

    Between slaloming the slopes, to reveling in post-piste frivolity, rounding out the perfect wardrobe is half the fun (and the battle) of conquering any one alpine excursion.

    And with every ripe adventure comes an equally ripe opportunity to take one’s style to entirely new heights, too. Here, I’ve put together your fail-safe guide to forging ahead both on the powder and off—because even the slopes deserve their moment of style.

    Destination: Mountain Time

    Travel day means comfort above all, and a no-fuss sweater is a must for any trek. This cashmere number from AllSaints is a classic for its super soft feel and thoughtful design that stands out from the pack.

    Siddons Cashmere Blend Sweater by AllSaints, $198, available at allsaints.com

    These buttery-soft skinnies by MOTHER are as good as they come for their fitted, yet stretchy fit that holds up forever. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more perfect pair—no questions asked.

    Looker Skinny Jeans by MOTHER, $196, available at saksfifthavenue.com

    Your favorite slipper, but make it fashion. These love-forever flats from Birdie’s are a must-have for their extra cushioning that truly feels like walking on a cloud. And that plush design? Double-win.

    The Starling in Black Velvet by Birdie’s, $95, available at birdies.com

    A blanket you can wear in public. This take-anywhere travel wrap by White + Warren is worth investing in for its sumptuous cashmere fabrication that just begs to be cozied up to.

    Cashmere Travel Wrap by White + Warren, $315, available at whiteandwarren.com

    Peak-to-Après, Perfected

    This powder day, turn heads for more reasons than one with the help of this high-impact puffer from ADD Down. Crafted from a mid-weight technical weave, it’s not only warm, but it knocks it out of the park with aesthetics, too. I mean, just look at that gloss!

    Hooded Down Jacket by ADD Down, $506, available at shopbop.com

    Fashion and function is the ethos of Spyder, and this jumpsuit pant is a definitive case in point. With its stretchy, sleek fit, zipping downhill or over to après has never looked easier (or chicer, we might add!).

    Strutt Softshell Bib Pant by Spyder, $299, available at utahskis.com

    Incredibly warm in pure cashmere, this wintertime essential by Cuyana is made even better for its clean lines and muted tone. Slip under your helmet for a day’s work, and then make a quiet style statement après-ski.

    Cashmere Beanie by Cuyana, $95, available at cuyana.com

    Earn your stripes (and then your après) by donning this ultra-cool colorblocked staple from Alp-N-Rock. Whether on-mountain or off, your warmth is guaranteed thanks to its heavyweight construction and a snug fit throughout.

    The Slalom Sweater in Heather Grey by Alp-N-Rock, $228, available at alpnrock.com

    Frozen toes, you’ve met your match. Made of sweat-wicking and insulating merino wool, these slope-ready socks by Bombas are a total shoo-in for warmth that won’t quit.

    Women’s Merino Wool Calf Socks by Bombas, $18, available at bombas.com

    Date-Night Done Right

    A rich merlot color gives this universally-flattering silhouette a decidedly sensual feel. Pair with a cozy wrap coat (like this one by Hobbs London) for date-night style in a cinch.

    Julie Dress by Reformation, $118, available at shopbop.com

    Instant-luxe. Croc-embossed, and with just the right height, these knee-high stunners by Free People promise to be your after-hours go-to.

    Grayson Tall Boot in Black Croc by Free People, $298, available at freepeople.com

    Snowed-In, For The Win

    Honor your favorite snow-capped destination with a statement-making sweater from Ellsworth and Ivey. Its clean, minimalist design certainly speaks for itself (now, if only all souvenirs could look this chic).

    Women’s Aspen Sweater by Ellsworth and Ivey, $128, available at ellsworthandivey.com

    Snowed in? Lounge away with Lunya’s Pocket Legging and never look back. With its smooth, double-layered waistband and fine weave, it’s the hero piece every off-duty adventuress deserves.
