The Boho Trend, $2,000 Clown Shoes, and Quiet Luxury—It's Just Another Day for Daisy-Edgar Jones

6 days ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

What do the boho fashion trend, neo-quiet luxury, and $2,000 surrealist clown shoes have in common? A regular Thursday in the life of Daisy Edgar-Jones. The actress pulled off two vastly different outfit changes on April 17 while promoting her latest film, On Swift Horses, ticking off a gamut of 2025 fashion trends in the process.
The Peep-Toe Shoe Trend Is Back—and Against All Odds, I’m Into It

2 weeks ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

Among all the body parts to accentuate, fashion designers have recently taken a keen interest in the toe. They’re splitting pumps down the front and turning them into hooves akin to Maison Margiela’s cleft-toe Tabis. They’re sending out toe ring sandals with built-in bijoux and mesh flats that put your pretty pedicures on full display. According to the Spring 2025 runways, the peep-toe shoe is quietly stepping into position as one of the season’s biggest spring shoe trends.
Spring 2025’s Floral Prints Keep Their Love Affair with Fashion Alive

Fashion loves a flower, from Christian Dior's rosettes and Chanel's camellias to Mary Quant's coo-coo-ca-choo daisies and Laura Ashley's prairie patterns. The Spring 2025 runways planted a few more in fashion's metaphorical garden; Chloé's Chemena Kamali, for one, had a field day and showed bouquet-printed chiffon gowns and Chantilly lace bloomers that helped the boho trend revival bloom.
Victorian-Era Perfume Bottle Necklaces Will Be Your New Favorite Conversation Starter

3 weeks ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

During the Victorian era, perfume pendants had a practical purpose. Worn on chains around the neck or clipped to chatelaines around the waist, the scent flasks contained ammonia-based concoctions and aromatic herbs like lavender and mint. One quick sniff would mask the unbearable stench of 19th-century city streets and keep ladies in too-tight corsets from falling faint. Cut to the present, and fashion tastemakers have reinvigorated the perfume necklace trend 175 years after its prime.
2025’s Sunglasses Trends Are So Ugly, They’re Cool

1 month ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

There’s grocery shopping to do, laundry to fold, and plenty of existential dilemmas to ponder. But somehow, all I can think about is the wild ride that is 2025’s sunglasses trends. On almost every Spring 2025 runway, there was a ridiculous pair of shades that pushed the boundaries of wearable and weird. At Prada, the best sunglasses appeared otherworldly and unnatural: shades shaped like diamonds, tinted violet, spanned the top half of the face.

1 month ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs |Ashlyn Delaney |Halie LeSavage |Sadie Bell

Look to any Coach bag—and it's probably either taken over your social media timeline, or you've heard a friend rave about it as her go-to bag, even in favor of the new It-$3,000 designer handbag. Maybe you've even bought a Coach bag recently, a purchase influenced by a trusted TikToker's review of the Empire carry-all or after seeing Bella Hadid and her Brooklyn tote all around Manhattan. Lately, the best Coach bags are not only going viral—they've become a fashion trend in their own right.
Fashion’s Betting Big on the Sporty Boxing Sneaker Trend

1 month ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

Ladies and gentlemen, a new trendy sneaker has entered the ring. In this corner, reaching mid-calf and higher, we have a statement shoe that packs a punch—it’s the... drumroll please—boxing sneaker trend. Cut in a supportive, high-top silhouette that hugs close to the shin and set on a flat sole, boxing sneakers were initially designed with support and movement in mind so boxers can perfect their fancy footwork.
2025's Royal Purple Color Trend Will Make You Look Rich-Even If You’re Not

1 month ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

Every color trend has an underlying message if you know where to look, but none shouts “bow down” quite like purple. If it needed a tagline, it would be “Let them eat cake”—that famously controversial phrase attributed to Marie Antoinette, now shorthand for aristocratic irreverence. Historically, purple’s ties to nobility date back to ancient times, when the dye was prohibitively rare and expensive, instantly calling to mind coronation crowns and ermine-trimmed velvet robes.
Juju Vera's Petra Shell Pendant Is 2025's Single Most Coveted Trend

1 month ago | marieclaire.com | Emma Childs

In 2025, Julia "Juju" Ferentino's shiny seashells have become the cornerstone of a cool girl's jewelry box. The founder, owner, and creative director of the jewelry brand Juju Vera is best known for her Petra Shell Pendant, a four-by-two-inch scallop with five dangly teardrop charms that comes in sterling silver or brass—and she can't keep the shell necklace in stock.

Picture this: You're walking down the street when a remarkably well-dressed older woman captures your eye.

These are the stylish women over 60 that Ari Seth Cohen photographs for Advanced Style, his blog, documentary, and book series dedicated to the sartorial senior set.
