Double Take :: The White Shirt

It was the 1998 Oscars and Sharon Stone walked the red carpet in a silk skirt…and a white button down that she plucked straight from her husband’s closet. It was a flawless fashion moment that still makes the list of best Oscar red carpet looks. For this month’s Double Take column, we took inspiration from […]

Double Take :: Swedish Hasbeen Boots

I can still remember begging my mom to buy me a pair of Doc Martens in middle school. It seemed like all the rebel girls made their plaid school uniforms look so much cooler just by slipping on a pair of the signature black lace-up boots. I particularly love Swedish Hasbeen’s take on the combat […]

Before now, sneakers were stigmatized as ugly, utilitarian footwear, but the sartorial scene is suddenly singing a different tune! I’ve got my eyes on more […]
