In the early days of the pandemic, there were Zoom clothes: video meeting–appropriate pieces that fooled no one (we were all in sweatpants—or no pants—from the waist down). For prefall, a new variation has emerged: zoom-in clothes, garments peppered or patterned with logos so covert, so camouflaged, one must get close up to spot the…

For the past year, our office blazers and party heels have given way to cozy—sometimes chic, and, er, sometimes not—sweatsuits and slip-on sandals. And our…

Waterfalls can range from thunderous plunges to delicate mossy trickles. They can be backcountry pop-ups or the centerpieces of parks, like Great Falls Park in McLean, Va., and Silver Falls State…
Gabrielle Alyse Neimand caught a glimpse of a tiger the length of Micah Lennon McEachen’s forearm as they shared a tray full of cupcakes at their friend’s cupcake tasting in Los Angeles on Feb. 13, 2015. He likes to think of it as Friday the 13th, while she likes to say the day before Valentine’s…
