Unlike most ELLE.com editors, I only own one jumpsuit. For years I was averse to the style, until I met the one: a pair from Karla Welch’s sick collaboration with Levi’s. They’ve since sold out (sorry guys), but my eyes have opened to all the other denim jumpsuits I’ve been missing out on. There’s the…

Courtesy of retailer When I get dressed in the morning it’s not with the intention of soliciting compliments. Sure, it’s nice when people appreciate the look, but for me it’s not the end all be all.

But lately, they have told me, in plain English, that my opinions and standards (from my education at a parochial school and military academy) don’t count for much. The last time we had dinner, they…

Fashion profiling played a bigger role in the 2016 American presidential election than anyone realized, according to new information from Christopher Wylie, the Cambridge Analytica whistle-blower.

“I don’t think there’s a title for what I do” is how Aminatou Sow, 33, describes her career, which takes many forms. Certainly, she is best known for hosting “Call Your Girlfriend,” a podcast devoted to sprawling conversations with her friend and collaborator Ann Friedman. Its popularity, with 6.1 million downloads in 2017, led to…
Because marriage is an ever-evolving experience, we constantly shift, change and, in some cases, start over. In It’s No Secret, couples share thoughts about commitment and tell us what they have learned along the way, revealing their secret to making it work. Who Laurie Lewis, 59, and Nancy Sager, 60. Occupations Ms. Lewis is a…
Wine invites contemplation — of the world, of our place in it and sometimes just of wine itself. Why does this wine taste as it does? What makes a bottle great? Or flawed? Can a glass still surprise us? What makes some grapes well-accepted and others not? This year’s crop of excellent new wine books…
