The Best Polo Shirts for Men to Wear This Summer, Tested by an Editor

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. The polo shirt has become one of the most versatile wardrobe essentials for men — but not all polos are made equal. The best men’s polo shirts vary in fabrications, fits, and purpose of wear, because the relaxed-collared shirt with origins in the sport of tennis — thanks to René Lacoste — evolved into a semi-casual, everyday shirt that can be equally fitting for wedding attire, business attire, or just another lazy weekend with the guys. The classic cotton piqué polo shirt by Lacoste and Ralph Lauren’s signature cotton mesh styles are widely known and have been menswear favorites since their initial releases. Some time between the Lacoste’s 1920s creation and the 1972 launch of Ralph Lauren’s iconic polos, the knit polo shirt was embraced by old Hollywood style heavyweights from Steve McQueen to James Dean, which provided a relaxed feel that complimented ...

Dominique Thorne: Bringing Ironheart to Life and Inspiring a New Generation of Heroes

It’s been a few years since Dominique Thorne first got the call that Marvel wanted her to lead her own series — four, to be precise — but it’s not a phone conversation one quickly forgets.  “It was the middle of the pandemic, and I had just made my way back to my family and was literally just beginning to settle in there when I got the phone call from Marvel explaining that they wanted to bring this character [Ironheart] to life,” Thorne says. “They asked me if I was familiar with her, and I was, and said that they wanted to introduce her in this six-part Marvel series and have her introduced to the world before that in ‘Wakanda Forever,’” she continues. “I kept waiting for them to tell me about the audition and when they wanted me to send in my tape or something, but there was none of that.” The 27-year-old can finally be seen in “Ironheart,” the Disney+ series that centers on her character Riri Williams, who audiences met in 2022’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The show, whic...

The Korean 2-in-1 Trend Is TikTok’s Latest Hair Obsession: Experts Explain the K-pop-inspired Look

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Like any life decision, committing to a new hairstyle after years of keeping the same monotonous look can be extremely difficult. Luckily, a new hair trend is tailored — literally — for the indecisive, specifically long-haired women who want to test drive short hair without having to fully commit, headfirst. Dubbed the Korean 2-in-1 haircut, this viral style is an innovative take on the burgeoning bob fad, which has already seen a slew of celebrities, such as Alexandra Daddario and Halle Berry, ditch their long locks entirely for the above-the-shoulder hairdo. The Korean 2-in-1, conversely, allows for short and long hair to coexist on the same head. Picture an inverse mullet or an inside-out, blunt wolf chop. @wallacesum_keihairstudio 2 in 1 Viral Korean Hair cut ✂️#wlc8868 @KEI HAIR STUDIO #hairinspo#hairinspohairhack #2in1haircut #keihairstudiosg ♬ orig...

Inside Thom Browne’s Upper East Side Store Opening Party

Leave it to Hector to draw a crowd. Thom Browne’s dachshund was rendered in a bright green topiary stationed on 72nd Street, drawing the curiosity of casual passersby. The troupe of people dressed in coordinating seersucker was another clear sign that something was afoot on the Upper East Side block on Wednesday: the opening of two new Thom Browne boutiques, including a store dedicated to accessories, on Madison Avenue. Hector himself had dropped by briefly earlier in the day (he’s not big on crowds), but the late afternoon cocktail party had plenty of other VIPs in attendance. Guests included recent Emmy nominees Walton Goggins and Tramell Tillman, who both attended the Met Gala with Thom Browne in May, and Cristin Milioti; Christine Baranski and her “The Gilded Age” costar Louisa Jacobson; “Materialists” director Celine Song, and Jack Innanen. “I love everyone’s red accents,” said Ella Emhoff, a red handbag slung on her arm, as she took stock of the sartorial theme throughout the roo...

How Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack Dress Inspired a Generation of Pop Stars and Patriotism

Geri Halliwell‘s Union Jack dress has left its mark as a sartorial moment to remember in pop culture history. The original Spice Girls member’s mini frock struck a cultural chord and quickly became a statement-making piece for other pop stars to follow. The dress, featuring the Union Jack flag, is tied to the United Kingdom’s history. Originating in 1606 as the flag that represented both England and Scotland, the design was reimagined in 1801 as the current red, white and blue symbol, with the addition of the St. Patrick’s Saltire. In the 1970s, the Union Jack was incorporated as a style motif for several British punk bands. The design was used through sartorial messaging, a subversion of the flag. In the late ’90s, however, Halliwell’s fashion statement repurposed the Union Jack symbol. Geri Halliwell of British all-girl singing group the Spice Girls at the Brit Awards Feb. 24, 1997.

Marc Jacobs’ New Bag Proves the Y2K-era Satchel Is Officially Back

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Ready for the return of another Y2K fashion staple? The early 2000s were a golden age of designer bag trends — think logomania, micro baguettes, and East-West shoulder bags — all of which have staged major comebacks in recent seasons. But, until now, one iconic carryall remained in the archives: the hefty satchel bag. Once an essential purse pairing to boho-inspired ensembles slung over the arms of “It girls like Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, and Sienna Miller, Y2K satchel bags defined the era’s laid-back, effortlessly cool style — and it had the Tumblr reblogs to prove it. Now, Marc Jacobs is further signaling the bag style’s return with the launch of The Cristina Satchel, a modern update on the early aughts relic.

Ben Ahlers on ‘The Gilded Age,’ Being a Meme and His Journey From Iowa to HBO Stardom

One thing about being part of a prime HBO series: the chances of going viral for something, at some point, are high.  “I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again: Evan Ross Katz changed my life,” says Ben Ahlers of the online creator, who anointed Ahlers’ “Gilded Age” character Jack as the “clock twink.” The moniker resurfaced earlier this week via Ahlers’ costar Louisa Jacobson in a post promoting the latest episode.  “It is definitely a different experience now. I’ve never been a meme. I’ll happily wear the crown of the clock twink,” Ahlers adds. “I do hesitate to say that I am 6’3”, so I don’t think that’s by definition a twink — but I’ll happily roll with it if people are willing to give me a pass. I love how obsessed and excited people get about coming up with the new fun thing. We’ve got Morgan Spector as ‘railroad daddy’ and [me as] ‘clock twink,’ so that’s great company for me.” Ben Ahlers ahead of the Amiri show during Paris Fashion Week.

Returns, Refunds and the Fight for Loyalty

What happens “beyond buy” is no longer a consumer experience afterthought; it’s a strategic and financial imperative. Returns, refunds and delivery delays don’t just affect consumer sentiment — they show up in your margins, repurchase rates and quarterly results. In a market where loyalty can disappear with a single bad experience, post-purchase isn’t the end of the journey. It’s the moment your brand and your margins are both at stake. It’s where trust is tested and the true cost of consumer disappointment shows up in your bottom line. Take Amazon’s recent move to retroactively refund consumers for years of return errors. It wasn’t just a PR decision; it was a margin play. Even the most sophisticated retailer in the world couldn’t escape the risks of post-purchase breakdowns. The difference? Amazon can absorb the hit. Most others can’t. For nearly every other brand, a misstep like that would come with real financial consequences and no blank check to make it right. The takeaway isn’t ...

With ‘Dilaria,’ Ella Stiller Brings a Sharp Female Story to Off-Broadway

If your first introduction to Ella Stiller is from the audience at the intimate DR2 theater near Union Square, where she’s making her off-Broadway debut in “Dilaria,” you might be guarded when you meet her in person. But Stiller takes any trepidation as a compliment.  “ There was one night, I was talking to a girl who was so kind and lovely and she said to me, ‘you are such a good actor, because I hated your character so much,’” says Stiller of a recent post-performance interaction. “And the next girl I talked to immediately said, ‘oh no, I loved her. I loved Dilaria, and I hate her. I want to be her, and I want to be nothing like her,” adds Stiller. “To me, that’s the rewarding thing to hear: that you can’t decide.” In person, Stiller is convivial, engaged, easy-going. She transforms onstage into Dilaria: cruel, obsessive, manipulative. Mean. “She does all the least socially acceptable things,” she says of the narcissistic character, a recent college grad who quickly has the ...
