Month: December 2018

Michelle Obama is currently on a promotional tour for her new memoir, which means we get to revel in near-daily new outfits from the stylish former first lady. So far, she’s set a clear tone for her tour looks: It’s all about the power pantsuit. In fact, she’s already worn seven different versions, each one chicer than the next. She also wore boots from every fashion girl’s favorite brand right now: By Far. 

In Los Angeles, she wore a custom Karen Walker denim suit as well as a crisp all-white version. Earlier in the month, Obama wore a custom pinstripe Jonathan Simkhai set for an appearance on Good Morning America, a bright blue suit by Akris for a roundtable discussion in Chicago, and we have a feeling she has plenty more impossibly chic outfits for the remainder of her tour. Her White House style will always have a place in our hearts, but her recent outfits are proving to be just as memorable. Scroll down to see every look she’s worn on her book tour so far.

Confession: Until a few months ago, I pretty much exclusively hauled around my MacBook Pro in those free canvas totes you pick up at events. Stylish laptop bags they were not, but after switching to a 15-inch screen, I suddenly found that all my “real” handbags were simply too small. Fortunately, I came to my senses and realized that as a digital fashion editor, I carry my laptop around often enough to justify a proper leather version.

Finally, I can fit all my stuff in one bag rather than constantly schlepping three around with me—and as an added bonus, my laptop feels more secure, and I feel like I have my sh*t together (well, most of the time).

Below, I’ve rounded up 17 work bags and backpacks with enough space to carry your laptop (just check the dimensions to make sure yours will fit). Gone are the days of the canvas tote, and trust me, I’m better for it.

Kate Middleton is the original skinny-jean stan, i.e., she’s known for being unwavering in her love for the classic denim. Over and over, we’ve shared how she wears them, whether it’s uncovering black skinnies at Zara or proving that the jeans can go with trendy ankle boots, but this season, there’s a new shape taking over the pant drawers of fashion girls, celebrities, and now royals, too. Looser, wide-leg pants are quickly gaining ground, and they’re a trend we’ve predicted will break through in 2019.

Middleton opted for a black pair of loose-leg trousers to give her stamp of approval to the trend on a royal tour to Cyprus today. The pant style may be getting all the buzz among the trendy set, but the duchess styled them in the most royal way: with a tailored blazer, neutral pumps, and cinched with a leather belt to give the look some of Middleton’s signature polish.

An A-list actress, an editor, and a supermodel are all in agreement: High-waisted baggy jeans deserve a spot in your closet. While skinny jeans will always remain a classic, I’m personally excited to test out the less constricting denim trend in 2019—and Margot Robbie is way ahead of me.

Photographed in New York City, the Mary Queen of Scots star wore anti–skinny jeans with another major trend we’ve been talking about ad nauseam: cardigans. (Don’t worry—yours doesn’t have to be Chanel like Robbie’s color-block version.) Her cropped, wide-leg jeans are a fresh alternative to your go-to skinnies and straight-leg styles. She completed the look with a Chanel chain-strap bag and Alumnae NYC strappy heels—which, in all honesty, aren’t the winter-friendliest shoes, but we’ll just assume she only wore them while heading straight for the car.
