  • 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.

  • 7 Places To Buy The Perfect Fall Sweater (For Under $300)

    7 Places To Buy The Perfect Fall Sweater (For Under $300)

    by Sarah Morrison

    A good fall sweater is a lot like a good friend: reliable, loyal, and so easy to get along with.

    Now, the perfect fall sweater? Well, let’s just say it ticks all the boxes. That best friend, in a sense. It’s built to withstand the many adventures that transpire in its lifecycle—every last pull, twist, stretch, steam, and even the unexpected tumble or two. It gets through it all and makes it look so effortless.

    It also stands up in the style department, a given (but you knew that). The perfect fall sweater drapes wonderfully; it hugs in just the right places, fits easy through the body, and flatters in a way that makes you believe in magic. It’s sumptuous, with luxurious fabrication (think cashmere, pure cotton, and merino wool) that begs to be touched. It’s striking, often rendered in season-right tones like camel and burgundy, and oh—did we mention it’s also (yes, you guessed it) just so sumptuous?

    That’s right, with all the intoxicating pleasures that fall brings—from cozy nights in by the fire, to the sensory adventure of a wine tasting at the vineyard (as is tradition!), adding a sumptuous fall sweater into the mix brings that indescribable experience to the next level.

    Of course, the ways to wear a perfectly crafted sweater, be it a cardigan or pullover, are endless.

    A chic sweater-blazer cardigan lends a healthy dose of polish to weekday staples, like easy shift dresses, or a tee and jeans. Mocknecks, a contemporary staple, are trend-right and flattering, while turtlenecks offer a timeless appeal that works with just about anything. As the temperatures drop, try your hand at monochromatic styling and smart layering. When paired together in a matching tone, a lightweight cardigan and a turtleneck create a look that could easily turn up in the pages of Vogue. Crewnecks have a place, too. Style them solo with a statement pant or layer over a cotton poplin shirt, chambray or flannel button-down (pro-tip: tuck the collar in for touch of sophistication, or leave it out for a preppier sensibility).

    Now, as you ponder the ways to style these sartorial centerpieces, you may be racking your brain to determine the brands behind those sweaters you’ve spotted on your favorite celebs, or maybe swooned over while eyeing the style of passerbys on the street. Not to fret, for the ahead edit of need-it-now cozy knits, crafted with a little help from a near-and-dear Saved Instagram folder, is all you need for jogging your memory and expanding your shopping bag. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    1. wilfred by aritzia

    Luxe fabrics, effortless silhouettes, and careful craftsmanship all under one reasonable price point? Pinch me, I’m dreaming. Wilfred by Aritzia is truly that style compass we’ve been searching for, reinterpreting old favorites in romantic, vintage-inspired tones that marry perfectly with the brand’s feminine sensibility.

    2. Reiss

    The everyday, elevated. Reiss is a favorite for its luxurious weaves and super flattering cuts that do more favors than ever thought possible. The choice for the decidedly feminine fashion aficionado, Reiss is the wardrobe builder born to transform the desk-to-dinner circuit.

    3. naadam

    Launched in 2015, Naadam is a relative newcomer, yet is quickly becoming an authority on sustainable cashmere. Each one of their minimally-minded pieces is manufactured in a energy-powered plant (hats off for lowering carbon footprints!), and originates from a cruelty-free sourcing process called hand combing. Another perk? I’ll venture to guess the brand gets along with most of your wardrobe already.

    4. AllSaints

    A greatest hit. With a decidedly urban appeal, ultra-soft fabrications (think merino wool and lambswool) and flattering designs that feel as modern as ever, AllSaints is the enduring closet staple I’ll never tire of. What’s more? It doesn’t hurt that the price points are most certainly within reason, too.

    5. whistles

    The brand for the cosmopolitan fashionista in all of us, British-born Whistles is reimagining the statement sweater in more ways than one. Standout colors to suit the season, interesting cuts, and modern craftsmanship merge to offer a charming assortment of styles that will elevate any fall wardrobe.

    6. Everlane

    It’s all in the details. Everlane, a now cult-status closet staple, is iconic for its commitment to crafting thoughtfully designed pieces from some of the finest materials available today. The brand prides itself on its one-of-a-kind philosophy, partnering solely with top-tier ethical factories, and tracing every last cost accrued along the way. Ethical, transparent, and chic. How refreshing!

    7. The Reset

    “Curated. Coordinated. Made to Mix and Match.” The Reset says it best, and we’ll admit, this brand just might become our new work-to-weekend go-to. Ever since its launch in 2017, the affordable direct-to-consumer label has not wavered from its mission to become the ultimate destination for modern women in need of everyday essentials that are as hard-working as they are. With a collection of sweaters versatile enough to suit any one mood, The Reset is a fall must-have.

  • This Handbag Style Is The Answer To A Stylish Night Out

    This Handbag Style Is The Answer To A Stylish Night Out

    by Sarah Morrison

    In our ever-growing material world, us fashion aficionados often find ourselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of handbag choices to draw from at any moment. Faced similarly with the task of sorting the sheep from the goats, we’re left equally overwhelmed. For as we know all too well, in the world of handbags, the stream of trends is constant, near limitless at times, and can truly test the strength of one’s patience and willpower. But every once in a while, as we comb through this small sea of more-than-essential add-ons, one trend comes along that instantly captures hearts and brings itself into the fold without so much as lifting a finger. This year, that force to be reckoned with is none other than the mini handbag.

    And this fresh dose of unexpected interest is a mixed bag in all the best ways. Worth its weight in gold, the mini bag—ranging from the decidedly minuscule micro flap, to larger bucket versions more apt for a standard outing (storage—here’s looking at you!)—has quickly become requisite for the wardrobe of every fashion girl worth her salt. When it comes to the options of fabric, it’s a potpourri that’ll win many favors. Artisanal basket weave styles mingle with unflappable leather designs (and countless others) to offer enough range of style for any one aesthetic—hence, finding one style to suit your very own is a total breeze. So go ahead, renew your sense of sartorial self and pick up one of these 12 mini bags before the supply (inevitably!) runs dry.
