“As someone who is self-diagnosed as ‘chronically online’, Maintaining the fight shirt I’ve seen a lot of flash-in-the-pan trends over the past few seasons,” says Elinor Block, editorial lead at luxury fashion gaming company Drest, which enables its users to create infinite outfit possibilities in the metaverse. “The past year we saw Barbiecore, ‘blokecore’ and ‘tomato-girl summer’ emerge as some of the bigger, zeitgeisty aesthetics adopted by Gen Z and the TikTok crowd. And whilst some are rooted in major trends, when it comes to real life, there’s no doubt that longevity and items that work season after season are a bigger draw. “When playing with clothes in Drest, however, there’s definitely a different kind of approach I take to dressing. The virtual world allows me to style looks that I might not have considered before with more out-there pieces from high-octane brands such as David Koma or Balmain—I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that cherry-red, rose-covered dress that I spied on the S/S 24 runway. It gives me a chance to be more experimental and see how I can move that into my IRL wardrobe without taking too much of a risk.” This, dear reader, is what the modern-day dressing-up box looks like. As always, any piece you invest in, be it inspired by the trends below or otherwise, should only be purchased if you intend on keeping it in your wardrobe for a very, very long time. I’ve gone to great lengths to cherry-pick the ones that have a chance.
Maintaining the fight shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
I don’t know about you, but I’ve got some serious February fashion blues. Maintaining the fight shirt After a whirlwind last couple of months of holiday parties that required dressing up and a frenzied start to the new year, the unsettling reality of winter is now setting in. Even though I would love to hibernate inside, wearing my favorite pajamas or sweat sets on repeat, my busy new-year schedule has other plans in mind. To get out of my wardrobe rut, I went straight to my favorite fashion sources for a little style inspiration. We all need a little pick-me-up now and again. Since I like to keep my looks easy and classic the majority of the time, these six winter outfits offer just that. They’re extremely stylish but not terribly stuffy. Think tailored outerwear, cozy knits, and—my personal favorite—wide-leg trouser pants. (Pro tip: Trust this New Yorker; they are great for layering leggings, knee-high socks, or boots under in the winter for extra warmth.) When it comes to footwear, I am keeping things simple. Flat shoes, like vintage sneakers and lots of loafers, will keep me comfy and on the move in style. Since I am certain these outfits will be on regular rotation for me all month, I don’t mind sharing the ideas with you. Go ahead and make these six best looks for February your own. Whether you are hitting the slopes or not, lean into soft and cozy basics to see you through the next few weeks of winter. An oversize coat, a cable-knit sweater, slouchy trousers, and retro sneakers make an impossibly easy and effortless combination.
