Quick Take
Oscars Looks

This past Sunday, the 98th Academy Awards took place in Hollywood. And per usual, watching the outfits that emerged on the red carpet was as much of a focus as the stage was. Granted, the night’s main awards are for categories like “Best Actress” or “Best Director,” but there are always silent awards given out for “Best Dressed.” Michael B. Jordan, who won “Best Actor” for Sinners, wore a custom look from Louis Vuitton, featuring a Mandarin-inspired stand-collar jacket and a pair of black tuxedo pants. The silver chain and jewelry were especially nice touches. Congrats to all the winners!

Tunnel Fits
This Week’s Top 4 Tunnel Fits

Athletes in fashion have been delivering across the board the past few weeks. Here are some of my favorites, but curious if there’s anyone you think we missed. What makes the “perfect” athlete-fashion moment to you?

Trend Watch
Remix Early 2000s Style for a Modern Twist

It’s funny how nostalgia works: so many of the brands and trends that were poppin’ back in the day are now hot again. Take Evisu jeans, for example. The iconic Japanese denim brand was on a run in the early 2000s, being worn by everyone from Lil Wayne to David Beckham. I recently rocked a pair with an orange logo… BACKWARDS!
Which leads me to one of my favorite styling tips: if you’re going to borrow from the past, change things up a little bit to keep it fresh. These jeans still would’ve been fly if I had worn them correctly, but wearing them backward made me feel like they were brand new.
