Photo-Illustration: Kelly Millington Raise your hand if sunglasses have ever completely transformed your look. Not just made you look cooler (that’s a given), but actually shifted your entire demeanor — changed how you moved through the produce aisle or stepped out of your car before Pilates.

Nov 7, 2024 | thecut.com | Kathleen Owens

Photo: Shutterstock When it comes to gifting, we tell ourselves it’s the thought that counts. But, if we’re being totally honest with ourselves, cost can play a role, too. When the goal is to give something wow-worthy, it’s only human to feel that the price tag matters, even if just a little bit. It’s not about materialism or showing off. It’s about generosity and treating someone to something lavish that they wouldn’t buy themselves. It’s about spending your money on a loved one who deserves it.

If we want to both straighten and dry our hair, we must get it done using multiple devices (and excessive heat).

Photo-Illustration: Rebecca Hoskins From uptown to downtown and everywhere in between, no matter the neighborhood or borough, an NYC look is unmistakable. The city’s style is iconic as a whole, but for those on the inside, it’s much more nuanced than blanket descriptions and macro aesthetics. New York City style, just like New Yorkers themselves, is dynamic, aspirational, and distinctly its own.
