Twenty pairs of heels. That's what I counted last spring when I finally faced my closet. Twenty! Most worn maybe twice, all bought in that dangerous mood where you convince yourself this pair will somehow transform your entire summer. You know what I realized? I'd been collecting shoes like they were Pokemon cards—gotta catch 'em all, zero strategy involved. Total chaos.
Last week, I watched a teenager on TikTok breathlessly explain her "discovery" of low-rise jeans, and I felt my millennial soul leave my body. Listen, I lived through that era — spent way too many hours yanking at waistbands and, yes, perfecting the art of the visible thong. (Still cringing about that one.) So watching this trend come back? It's like seeing your most questionable yearbook photos suddenly become Pinterest-worthy.

Certain styles literally become time travelers, and they pick up completely different meanings as they bounce through the decades. Wild, right?
Sheer clothing is undeniably one of the hottest trends right now. This trend is showing no signs of slowing down.

While brooches used to be seen as prim, even old-fashioned, the brooches of 2025 are big, bold, and unapologetically modern. Elaborate sculptural shapes, colorful resins and glittering crystals have replaced the dainty cameos of yesteryear. Designers are supersizing brooches for maximum impact, with some statement pieces reaching saucer-sized proportions.
