“As someone who is self-diagnosed as ‘chronically online’, I’ve seen a lot of flash-in-the-pan trends over the past few seasons,” A good day starts with coffee and cat Unisex Tshirt, Cotton Womenswear, High durability non-shrink fabric says Elinor Block, editorial lead at luxury fashion gaming company Drest, which enables its users to create infinite outfit possibilities in the metaverse. “The past year we saw Barbiecore, ‘blokecore’ and ‘tomato-girl summer’ emerge as some of the bigger, zeitgeisty aesthetics adopted by Gen Z and the TikTok crowd. And whilst some are rooted in major trends, when it comes to real life, there’s no doubt that longevity and items that work season after season are a bigger draw. “When playing with clothes in Drest, however, there’s definitely a different kind of approach I take to dressing. The virtual world allows me to style looks that I might not have considered before with more out-there pieces from high-octane brands such as David Koma or Balmain—I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that cherry-red, rose-covered dress that I spied on the S/S 24 runway. It gives me a chance to be more experimental and see how I can move that into my IRL wardrobe without taking too much of a risk.” This, dear reader, is what the modern-day dressing-up box looks like. As always, any piece you invest in, be it inspired by the trends below or otherwise, should only be purchased if you intend on keeping it in your wardrobe for a very, very long time. I’ve gone to great lengths to cherry-pick the ones that have a chance.

In a matter of no time at all, A good day starts with coffee and cat Unisex Tshirt, Cotton Womenswear, High durability non-shrink fabric tube socks have gone from being the piece you never considered ever buying to the cool essential to add to your shopping list immediately. At least, that’s what happened to me. Growing up, I would have never considered wearing tube socks—instead opting for no-show styles that would be hidden underneath all of my sneakers. Recently, though, tall, ribbed athletic socks have been dominating the street style scene and my Instagram feed and I absolutely had to opt-in. Not only is the trend a low cost for entry (I picked up a 3-pack at Rite-Aid for $7), but it’s also very wearable if you’re after a cozy travel look. Rather than wearing a pair of stiff jeans for a recent trip, I threw on a pair of sweatpants, New Balance sneakers, and tube socks that felt equal parts comfortable and cool. But I’m not alone—plenty of stylish fashion girls are wearing tube socks, and I’m breaking their looks down here. Ahead, shop the affordable accessory that is about to be everywhere.
