Upper East Side Grandmothers Are the Vision—25 Items to Buy

“Old money,” “steal wealth,” and “quiet luxury” are all buzzwords floating around right now. People are looking for a way to tap into these aesthetics, but many of them are looking right past the women who have already been doing it for decades: Upper East Side grandmothers. On a few recent scrolls through TikTok, I’ve noticed that this aesthetic is getting a lot of love, with fashion people piling on intentionally gaudy jewelry, oversize faux-fur coats, tweed jackets, and anything J.Crew.

An Homage to the Style Influence of Black TV and Movie Icons

For years, costume choices have impacted how characters’ legacies are carried on to the future. Trends have been born and shared through the characters we’ve seen on screen. And while many fashion folk will refer to Rachel Green or Carrie Bradshaw as TV’s best dressed, they end up erasing Black creatives who have been the trendsetters of every generation. Spanning decades of entertainment, Black characters have given us the best of fashion, from classic sitcoms to heavy-hitting dramas. Actresses such as Issa Rae, Karyn Parsons, and Tracee Ellis Ross have not only entertained their audiences in their roles, but they’ve also inspired many with their characters’ striking ensembles. 

Below, look at 10 iconic style moments from Black characters in TV and Movies.

The New J.Crew Items a 63-Year-Old and 34-Year-Old Love

My mother and I are spending the first part of the New Year sorting our closets in an effort to get rid of what’s not working for us anymore. The goal is to edit and not to replace everything we’re ditching, but it’s also a time we’re both looking at our wardrobes to identify any holes where a fresh piece or two could be worth it. And while age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, it’s fun to note that my mom and I tend to gravitate toward similar pieces and trends—despite our 29-year age difference. (I’m 34, and she’s 63.) Furthermore, one store we both love for uncovering wardrobe staples just so happens to be J.Crew.

On that note, we actually went into a J.Crew store to peruse styles in IRL and also scrolled through the site to identify the items we both like. To give you shopping inspiration, I decided to highlight the five womenswear items I especially liked from my mom’s list, including the sweater J.Crew designer Olympia Gayot is wearing above. Keep scrolling to check out the items in question (the first grouping below). I also rounded up a range of other chic J.Crew pieces that could pique your interest.

22 Chic Items to Shop From Revolve’s Epic Winter Sale

I online shop a lot—like, a lot, a lot—but one person’s only capable of scrolling so much, which is why I sometimes go on long hiatuses from certain retailers. It’s not because I don’t want to keep up with their every drop. I simply can’t, at least not while maintaining any sort of work-life balance. And the one that’s unfortunately fallen off my radar of late is Revolve, though, I can’t see it staying that way for long now that I’ve feasted on its current sale selection. My findings were too good for me not to come back for more.

What to Wear to a Vegas Vow Renewal

I kept going back and forth about what to wear. I’d already worn a perfect-to-me white dress at my dream wedding, and I felt that Vegas required something a little more fun, a little unexpected, and yes, a little more colorful. Plus, it needed to look nice next to my husband’s outfit, which he picked out way before I did. (He has the most intentional style, but that’s a story for another time.) I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to find this Anine Bing pink silk suit in my size, and I’m happy that my investigative skills paid off because it was everything I wanted. I’m a sucker for an oversize fit, and I felt chic and comfortable in it. I wore the diamond earrings I was gifted on my wedding day and styled a pair of pink Gucci sunglasses (because, Vegas), Amina Muaddi heels, and a sparkly purse I bought on Amazon a few days before—proof that a high-low mix never fails.

As far as beauty goes, I got a spray tan at Sugared + Bronzed before we left for Vegas and a blowout at DryBar, and I did my makeup in our hotel room. Instead of using my tinted moisturizer, I opted for foundation, and I actually wore eye makeup. I used my favorite Nudestix eye stick, my go-to Chanel eyeliner, and brown mascara—all products that would last hours.

How to Style a Puffer Jacket, According to a Celeb Stylist

Puffer jackets and chic styling don’t often go together at first glance. How to style a puffer jacket isn’t top of mind for most people. Instead, winter dressing is usually about making sure that you’re mentally and emotionally ready to step out of the door without regretting not putting on that extra layer of clothing.

As a new-ish New Yorker who has never experienced a true winter in her entire life, I have to admit that I’m in the latter camp. So when it came to finding a winter jacket that both looked and felt good, I knew I had my work cut out for me—until I asked Karla Welch, that is.

Welch, who has years of experience styling top A-List clientele like Hailey Bieber, Tracee Ellis Ross, America Ferrera, Karlie Kloss, and Lorde, among others, partnered with Canada Goose this fall and winter to make puffer jacket outfits feel more like a creative choice rather than a chore. 

“We really wanted to show how a warm functional coat can add to a look and become part of the entire fit vs. just something you wear to stay warm and dry,” Welch, who partnered with the legacy outwear brand in styling its fall/winter 2023 drop, explained. “This new collection is super flattering on the wearer and the color offerings are in arrays of muted tones with pastels here and there, that can easily work themselves into any wardrobe and on any type of person.”

She’s not wrong—a quick glance at the in-season offerings drastically shows that this isn’t your father’s bulky all-black winter puffer of the past. Earth tones and soft, muted mattes instantly elevate the collection, with a minimalist take on quilting, logos, and hardware from the Canada Goose design team.

The 31 Best Boots for Women to Buy This Season

It’s prime boot-buying season. The temperature is chilly, the weather is unpredictable, and your rotation of outfits is heavy on rich textures. Even when perusing affordable shopping destinations like Zara and H&M, boots tend to fall on the more expensive side of the price spectrum, so any pair you bring home will be an investment meant to hold up for more than a single season and work with dressy and casual looks. 

To me, the best boots fall into a few key categories, and I always try to make sure I have at least one of each in my rotation any given season. First, there are the practical everyday boots. Think equestrian-inspired or moto styles. These are sturdy, comfortable, and able to handle my daily commute on the subway. Next up, there are party boots. These are styles with a higher heel pitch and may come in unexpected colors or materials, such as horsehair or silver leather. Next, there are the cozies. This category includes Uggs, hiking boots, and rubber rain galoshes. Lastly, there are booties, which I consider the most versatile option of the bunch. 

Once I have each of these categories squared away, I’m a little more open to my whims, perhaps picking up a trendy style for the season ahead or opting for a beloved silhouette in a fun new color or material. Ahead, I’ve collected 31 of my current favorites to help you kick-start your lineup of cute boots.
