Statement jackets and the latest sneakers are always going to be top of men’s lust lists, but don’t let high-wattage clobber blind you to the essentials. The right pair of men’s trousers can be the most quietly powerful item you wear, but get it wrong and you’ll instantly dull the shine of the trending pieces

If ever there was a clear-your-calendar type of fashion show, it’s the Savage X Fenty Show Volume 3, a literal extravaganza that just debuted on Amazon Prime Video. It watches like a short film meets extended-cut music video, with gorgeous set design, amazing choreography, some seriously big-name appearances, and costumes that aren’t actually costumes but,

Accessories: no decent outfit is complete without them. They are what béarnaise sauce is to steak, butter to bread, an olive to a martini. You get the idea. But sometimes it can be difficult to know just how good an investment any of these stylistic accoutrements might turn out to be (we’re looking at you,

Daniel ZuchnikGetty Images We’ve all been here during the past year’s surge in online shopping: Clicking through a laundry list of stores, scrolling endlessly to find just one perfect jean or sweater—if we’re lucky. We know what we want, but our favorite retailers can’t always deliver it. The home of your go-to styling subscription might

When Kim Jones took over as Artistic Director of Fendi at the start of this year, the Renaissance man headed straight to the storied Italian house’s vast archive in the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. There, Jones found inspiration aplenty for his first ready-to-wear collection for Fendi: from silhouettes sketched by the late Karl Lagerfeld to

For style lovers, fashion is the heartbeat of New York City. Of course, many different aesthetics make up the landscape, and each neighborhood has its own distinct style sensibility. Crisp tailoring and classic silhouettes define the Upper East Side. On gritty East Village blocks like Bowery and St. Marks Place, the vibe is more eclectic,

Janaya Future Khan is no stranger to conflict. Their groundbreaking, boundary-shattering work on the front lines of the Black Lives Matter movement as an international ambassador has helped advance Black liberation to the masses, which comes with grief, loss, and brief moments of joy—where one can find it. They are also deeply engaged with the

Sustainability is perhaps a newer benchmark for brands in the fashion industry—but it’s a value that has always been considered a signature of Italian style, and Umbrian-based label Fabiana Filippi is no exception. Intricate craftsmanship, careful selection of raw materials, and respect for the land (and the people who inhabit it), have become second nature

It’s a simple fact that men need to own certain items: a good hammer, a decent record player, a really warm blanket that potential mates will totally dig and, of course, a handful of tried and tested wardrobe classics. Granted, it’s a term that’s bandied about a lot in menswear, but it takes something truly

Bearing witness to the glamour of the Venice Film Festival, the campiness seen at MTV Video Music Awards, and the no-holds-barred approach to dressing for this year’s Met Gala, we think it’s safe to say that Fashion with a capital F is back on the red carpet. Events may be smaller and more intimate this

Oscar-nominated at the age of 21 and courted by directors and designers alike, Timothée Chalamet is the most talked-about young actor in Hollywood at the moment. Standout performances in Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird and Beautiful Boy marked his arrival and he’s versatile enough to have Shakespeare and sci-fi epics on his to-do

StreetstyleshootersGetty Images Amazon has spent the last five years building their fashion platform exponentially. They’ve brought established and emerging brands on-board to Luxury Stores at Amazon and created in-house labels like Wild Meadow, Mae, Core 10, and more. But just like trying to search the massive platform for the best of what feels like three

Eckhaus: ROB KULISEK; Khaite: HANNA TVEITE; Do: Victor VIRGILE/Getty Images; MNZ: MADISON VOELKEL; Proenza: Jonas Gustavsson Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. It’s been a summer of unrepentant body-con looks. Just look at Megan Fox’s homage to Rose McGowan at the VMAs. And while that train shows

Oliver Proudlock is full of surprises. Dismantling the myth of the reality TV stereotype one project at a time, he’s an entrepreneur, designer, model and social media star, depending on what day of the week it is. But, while Proudlock undoubtedly has many strings to his bow, men’s fashion is where his interests predominantly lie.

On the white-washed rooftop of the PUBLIC Hotel in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, celebrity stylist Dani Michelle looked most at home with a pair of stilettos in her hands. Accompanied by a team of Designer Shoe Warehouse publicists and tastemakers, she floated past the trays of champagne flutes and well-dressed, well-credentialed guests to survey a

Fast fashion has its advantages (mainly when next-day delivery gets you out of a sartorial pickle the week before payday). But it’s quality, sustainable fashion that lasts. Just look at a select few of menswear’s most respected brands, who guarantee their products for life. It’s a brave promise, given the savvy nature of today’s clued-up,

Me at LUAR?! I’m not worthy! Truly, that’s how I felt the second my ride pulled up to a remote street in Brooklyn. It was the most “my life is like a movie” I’ve ever felt. I say this because the crowd outside the venue was teeming to get in. There was an immediate energy

There’s more to a good suit than a good fit. That sounds like sartorial sacrilege but it’s true (dig out your prom photos for shuddersome evidence). Yes, a tailored two-piece is the foundation every buttoned-up gent should aspire to, but that’s just the starting point of looking good in formalwear. Where suiting goes from an

Usually, early fall—and more specifically September—is my favorite time of the year. In French, we call it la rentrée, which doesn’t have an equivalent word in English, but it basically means back to school. It might seem regressive, I admit. But there’s just an energy I’ve always loved about that time. First of all, everyone

Fans of menswear in its printed form, rejoice. We’ve painstakingly ploughed through a local library’s worth of hardbacks and paperbacks in the selfless pursuit of creating the ultimate reading list of menswear books. Yes, we’ve given ourselves more papercuts than any man should have to endure, but these titles are stuffed with all the style

We’re by the ocean, but it’s not just any beach. It’s Jacob Riis Park, where queer people flock to get away from city noise and flaunt our bodies, curves, bulges, rolls, scars… everything that makes us beautiful. “It’s the place where I’ve seen more Chromat in the wild than any place on earth,” says Becca

A trip to Hawkins, Indiana, in Stranger Things might be a nightmare of uncanny terror, but a journey back to the ’80s with the hit Netflix series is wall-to-wall nostalgia. In amidst the Spielberg references and throwback soundtrack, the fashion of Stranger Things is also well worth a binge-watch. The retro costumes on-screen turned the

I’m not sure which ELLE.com editor has ties to the NSA, but someone had to have read my June 2021 text message response to Heidi Gardner when she asked me what designers were my go-tos for dresses. Among my responses was Staud, so when I was invited to sit front row at the brand’s spring

There are plenty of minimum age limits (drinking, gambling, Quentin Tarantino movies), but bar driving, nowhere near enough maximum ones. It’s alarming, given that letting septuagenarians loose on streetwear can result in an equally horrific car crash of the mutton-dressed-as-lamb variety. Which is why FashionBeans has decided to impose some suggested restrictions on key menswear
