While one of the more polarizing shoe trends out there, knee-high boots are still very much a thing. In fact, they’ve more or less become staples in celeb and fashion girls’ wardrobes at this point. To be honest, I live for it when these women showcase their cool knee-high-boot outfits because to me, the shoe silhouette adds a statement-making, modern, and forward twist to any ensemble.

Sure, they can seem daunting to pull off, but in reality, anyone can add the boots into their rotation and make them work because they can go with everything—from a sweater-and-jean situation to, yes, even a tailored suit look. Rather than sit here and talk your ear off, I thought I’d showcase what I mean with seven must-try outfits featuring the shoe trend I’ll always be into. I also shopped out my favorite knee-high boots of the moment if you’re ready to jump on the trend.

We may talk about the engagement ring trends that have fallen out of favor or the trends currently in high demand, but if you’re feeling a bit of fatigue at the thought of an engagement ring that’s less than timeless, this should serve as a bit of respite. Despite dozens of engagement ring styles and stone cuts, there’s one detail that Hollywood’s stars have favored for almost 70 years—from the 1950s to present day.

Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Amal Clooney, Priyanka Chopra, and more celebs have chosen solitaire stone rings flanked by tapered baguette diamonds as their engagement rings. Why, exactly, have tapered baguette rings been a timeless pick despite different stone shapes coming in and out of style? According to Alicia Davis, VP of merchandise for Shane Co., “the classic setting is so attractive for the way in which it frames the center stone. The east-west position of the baguettes elongates the center stone while also adding minimalist sparkle to the band.”

Few hairstylists have careers as impressive as Jen Atkin. The 38-year-old celebrity hairstylist and entrepreneur is responsible for the cuts and ‘dos of basically every single one of your biggest Instagram follows, from the Kardashians to Bella Hadid to Chrissy Teigen. She’s also the founder of cult hair care brand Ouai and a social media genius (name another hairstylist who has over 2.7 million IG followers, I’ll wait).

Much has been written about the hairstyling tips and personal regimen of Jen Atkin, but amidst all the hair-related hubbub, we couldn’t help but notice that almost no one has stopped to ask Jen about her makeup routine. The woman has a signature look that seems to work so well for her—flawless skin, flick of liquid eyeliner, touch of color on the lips. Plus, she’s friends with some of the best celeb makeup artists in the biz, like Mary Phillips and Mario Dedivanovic. We figured she had to have some pretty legit products in her arsenal, so we hit Jen Atkin up and asked her to spill every makeup product she uses on the daily to create her effortless, almost French girl–esque look.

I’ve gone over this before, but I’d consider black jeans to be one of the true heroes in my wardrobe. The staple—skinnies, mainly—completes my daily uniform (which includes a black knit, a moto jacket, and boots) and makes me feel, well, like me. You know what? It appears celebrities are on my same level. While light-wash jeans and vintage-inspired blues are also reigning supreme this season, it’s black denim that seems to be the style du jour among the A-list crowd.

Over the last few weeks, some of the coolest celebs like Rihanna, Chrissy Teigen, Hailey Rhode Bieber, and more consistently step out in a range of black-jean silhouettes paired with everything from bomber jackets to statement coats to cozy knits. TBH, I’m thrilled one of my favorite trends is now a celebrity fave again as well. So with that, below, I’m bringing you six ensembles featuring black jeans that I’m all about. Plus, I shopped out a few of my favorite pairs if you’re looking to refresh your collection.

I recently learned about online retailer StockX and instantly became fascinated. Instead of functioning as a traditional e-tailer, StockX is a luxury resale site that operates like a stock market. Buyers and sellers bid on fashion items, while a portfolio closely tracks their market value and popularity. So what can all of this data tell us about the most popular sneaker styles? A lot, it turns out.

I combed through the data on StockX to find out which sneakers styles and brands are most in-demand right now. From my findings, I discovered there are six sneaker brands that are wanted above all others and the specific shoe styles people are buying. Go on to see which sneaker styles top the list, and scroll to the end to see the sneaker brand that is winning out against all others. Consider this your guide to cool sneakers—with the data to back it up.
