Pondering a parasol at the Christian Dior fashion show
Right about now is a good time to start thinking about spring fashion, no? I have to say I was really drawn to this photograph from the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2026 Haute Couture collection presented in Paris recently.

In Cigar City, they smoke for a living
TAMPA, Fla. — It’s noon on a Tuesday, and Law Ream is smoking a cigar.

Barefoot, Sandals, Slippers: Rethinking Footwear at Home and on the Road
By almost any measure, the modern relationship between people and their shoes is changing.

Answer Angel: Turtleneck trouble
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: How do you put on a close-fitting turtleneck, or a turtleneck dickey, without wrecking a carefully combed head of hair (men) or a stylish hairdo (women)? Are there versions of these garments that zip open at the back for easier putting on? (If not, there should be!)

The Quiet Rebellion of Comfortable Shoes
For much of the last century, shoes have been a quiet battleground. Comfort and style were treated as rivals, with fashion winning most of the time. High heels, narrow toe boxes and rigid soles became signals of professionalism, femininity or success, even when they hurt. Pain, it turned out, was part of the look.
That assumption is now ...Read more
Functional Fashion: When Utility Becomes Style
By the time a fashion trend reaches its third runway cycle and second influencer backlash, it often discovers a secret: it works better when it actually works. Functional fashion — clothing designed with practical purpose first — has steadily moved from the margins of workwear and athletic gear into mainstream style. What was once built for ...Read more
Clothes That Age With You
For decades, fashion has been built around an assumption rarely stated aloud: that the wearer will remain fundamentally the same. Sizes may fluctuate slightly, trends may rotate, but the ideal body—and the ideal life—are imagined as stable, youthful, and endlessly adaptable.
