Finding the perfect present for that special someone (or the intimidatingly cool fashion person in your life) is no simple task, but we’ve got your gifting inspiration covered. Before you slip into a post-turkey dinner coma, see (and shop!) all of our holiday gift guides (and our curated roundup of …

A little considered aspect of the London landscape is how it’s home to so many of the world’s strongest women designers. Among those who maintain studios in the city are Phoebe Philo, Stella McCartney, Sarah Burton, Clare Waight Keller, Roksanda Ilincic, and Victoria Beckham. They also happen to share a generational position—age 50 or thereabouts, with loads of children between them. Plus: based on decades of work and life experience, not to mention emotional and practical intelligence about clothes, these are designers who know exactly who they’re dressing.
The documentary of how Victoria Beckham has hit this in-her-prime phase as a designer is playing on Netflix—she’s in America promoting it now. The dramas and pitfalls of her startup years make for some cliff-hanging moments until she reaches the point of confidence and focus that her collections exude now. One thing that’s not changed: She’s always there to talk through her collections, just as she did from the beginning.
Her grown-up proposition revolves around dresses and tailoring, a clarity honed from the experiments she talks about as a girl, and the early tutoring of Roland Mouret, who taught her to drape on her own body—that, and a self-confessed control freak image-consciousness honed from a lifetime of being photographed from every angle. Exact but relaxed, her pre-collection balances glamour with practicality, without skimping on design.
When you have a great cut, why throw it away? The VB blazer is a signature testament to that; it’s tailored to read oversized, with pressed sleeves, but actually skims in to give a sense of waist. This season, the nonchalant detail of a cutaway collar jumps out: a chic note of deconstruction adding oomph to an impeccable failsafe piece.
Dress-wise, she’s mastered the highly tricky art of asymmetry. There’s something in the liquid flow of the shapes—satin, lace, or jersey—which vaguely echoes the 1930s (she said she’s been looking at the Marchesa Casati). The construction shows clearly how she thinks of the body in the round: hemlines dip, a shoulder’s bared, a ruched zone clasps a waist, a scarf-like drape flows down a back. Lately, Beckham has been practicing this herself when out and about with her husband and family and in front of King Charles. Grand, but quite simple in effect, it’s her own look that radiates the confidence of a grown woman.
This year’s slate of the best Black Friday clothing deals has kicked off in full force, and they’re good. Trust me: I’ve been writing about every Cyber Week for the past five years, and 2025 feels different. I’ve never seen such a high volume of genuinely worthwhile Black Friday sales, with buzzy retailers that almost never do discounts (like Quince, Free People, Reformation, and Lululemon) jumping into the fray.
Don’t stop to marvel—now’s your chance to beat the rush and snag the best stuff—winter coats, trendy boots, gym-ready leggings, seasonal dresses—while it’s actually still in stock. Get out ahead of the pack with my edit of the best Black Friday fashion deals I’ve seen so far, including festive J.Crew cardigans, baggy jeans at Old Navy, and faux-fur coats from Mango. Keep checking back, since I’ll be updating this page regularly with the most exciting style finds throughout Cyber Week.
Lululemon’s We Made Too Much section just got a cold-weather revamp, now flush with Cyber Week-exclusive specials. Whether you’re in the market for winter-friendly running jackets or some of the brand’s best leggings, you’ll find them at pretty nice discounts, both for yourself and for all the fitness-obsessed people on your list.
Nordstrom kicked off its Black Friday sale days ahead of schedule this year, but don’t worry: It saved the best stuff for right now. We’ll never complain about scoring up to 60% off cute dresses and suede boots, which would make a nice outfit together; consider this your fleeting chance to snag all the staples you’re missing.
Here’s a great reason to give thanks: Today only, Free People’s entire site is 15% off. Everyone has their own favorite cuts and finds from the boho retailer, but I’ll point you toward these two never-on-sale picks that’ll be on heavy rotation this season. Puffer jackets and black jeans for all!
J.Crew’s current sale—40% off everything, plus 50% off sale items with code FRIDAY—has led to some eye-popping deals on the winter wardrobe essentials you already have on your wish list. Don’t miss a holiday-ready cardi or the perfect winter dress as you dig through the many thousands of deals.
While you might associate the retailer with everyday essentials like toothpaste and socks, Amazon’s Black Friday clothing deals aren’t messing around. So many gems have been marked down, but I narrowed it down to these trendy toppers: a cropped puffer vest for less than it cost to make your Thanksgiving side dish and curved-heel slingbacks that are begging to be worn to a holiday party.
After a long drought between truly noteworthy sales, Abercrombie has blessed us with a standout of a Black Friday deal: at least 25% and as much as 50% off everything, including plenty of new arrivals. Get the sweater dresses and patterned puffers while the getting’s good.
I know you know this, but just so you know: Reformation barely ever offers discounts, so the whole 25% off sitewide situation that’s happening right now is very much worth a look. A dazzling party dress and a suede bag that looks like The Row are just the start.
For a brand that holds few sales, Spanx sure is kicking the shopping holiday off with a bang: 30% off most of the site, with a few half-off deals sprinkled in for good measure. We love the brand’s shapewear and tummy-hugging leggings, but you might want to start with this perfect off-duty winter outfit. Throw on some sneakers and you’re good to go.
Hello, winter trends! Mango is always a reliable source for pieces that feel now, and with a huge swath of the site now up to half-off through November 30, it pays to scroll through all the many discounts. Your appetizer: a faux-fur coat and an argyle sweater.
One of the coolest mall brands on the market, Madewell is currently offering 40% off nearly everything on its site. I can hardly believe that both of these very now (and highly giftable) finds are included in the sweeping discounts, and I’m not waiting around for them to disappear. Go forth!
So, this basically never happens—tons of styles are up to 70% off over at Dôen right now. I’d advise you act before they disappear, since there’s no telling when the brand, one of the hottest labels on the market right now, will drop the act.
Savvy shoppers know to expect Alo’s sitewide Black Friday sale every November, and luckily for all of us, it’s finally here. I’m using the 30%-off event to snag all the gym staples and loungewear I’m missing for the chilly months ahead, although there’s also plenty of gifting potential (especially for teen girls) here.
Old Navy’s current deals include some 50- and 60%-off finds, plus up to 40% off so much more stuff. Finds like winterproof turtlenecks and trendy jeans belong to the first category—and are ready to elevate your next tailgate, grocery run, or backyard hang.
No matter what you’re currently daydreaming of adding to your current closet—puffers, cashmere sweaters, barrel jeans, trendy sweatshirts, you name it—it’s all up to 50% off at Everlane’s Black Friday sale, which has already landed. Current-season stuff at genuinely great prices? Say no more.
You probably know Naadam from its $98 cashmere sweater, which is on sale for $78 right now. The rest of the brand’s site is also up to 40% off right now, leading to some eye-popping discounts on chunky knits and sweater dresses in premium fibers. Don’t face winter’s worst without at least one of these beauties in tow.
Whether you’re on the hunt for a new addition to your daily stack or you’re in the market for jewelry gifts at lower-than-usual prices, Pandora is worth a stop this Cyber Week. Tennis bracelets, giftable charms, trendy sets, classic silver chains—all of it is up to 40% off right now, which almost never happens. Don’t wait around for everything to sell out.
Yes, there are plenty of very good jeans on sale at Levi’s, now that you can take 40% off your entire purchase with free shipping. But I’m going to push you in a different direction—why not on-trend corduroy pants or a denim dress instead? Both will get plenty of use through spring.
Knix, the brand behind some of our most-trusted period underwear, shapewear, and comfy activewear, is pulling out all the stops for its Cyber Week sale, offering up to 60% off everything. Start with its cult-favorite bra and some festive pajamas, then dive into the rest of its (vast, underrated) collection.
Paris Hilton knows how to own a room — and her appearance at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday proved it once again. Among the couture gowns and glittering jewels, the accessory everyone noticed was the SOJOS Melody sunglasses in Blue. Sleek, sculptural and effortlessly glamorous, the $150 frames added a …

We all have that go-to shirtdress—the one piece in your closet that’s practically a blank canvas, always chic, and reliably appropriate for everything from a Tuesday work meeting to a Saturday brunch. But sometimes “classic” just feels a little predictable.
Enter Leslie Bibb, who stepped out looking impossibly sleek in a straight-from-the-runway Michael Kors Spring 2026 Collection outfit. It’s the sartorial equivalent of an expensive, well-tailored trench coat—all polish, zero fuss. The pareo, draped and tied at the waist, is the elevated element that transforms her traditional collared button-down into a show-stopping moment.
This look is perfect timing, too, because Bibb is in the spotlight thanks to the return of Palm Royale on Apple TV. As Dinah Donahue, the razor-tongued pillar of Palm Beach society, Bibb serves up glamour with a side of delicious desperation. In Season 2, we’re seeing Dinah ditching her trophy wife persona—which often came in the form of pristine, though stifling, vintage gowns—and embracing a new kind of power dressing. We’re talking sharp pantsuits and a more modern, independent vibe for the ’60s. Her Michael Kors outfit is the real-life manifestation of Dinah’s Season 2 aesthetic: confident, sharp, and totally owning the room without a single sequin. Keep scrolling to shop classic shirt dresses in browns that are perfect for fall.

“It’s all about movement and how emotions flow through us and in our bodies,” said Stine Goya about her pre-fall collection. Ballet was her starting point, though she approached it creatively. Traditional broderie anglaise was charmingly customized on a white cotton set with a pajama-like ease, the openwork taking the form of ballet slippers, bows, and flowers rather than more traditional, non-narrative patterns. Some of those balletic motifs were carried over, on a small scale, to festoon the hem of a short pink dress which, like a brown jacket, featured elastic button straps at both sides of the waist to allow for a customizable fit. Elsewhere, an SG logo was worked in curlicues of tulle inspired by tutus, and a custom print featuring blurred dots suggested movement in a way that didn’t just conjure a ballet barre.
A print of a cherry blossom tree used on a long dress with puff sleeves had a backstory—it’s based on the tree that blooms in the courtyard of the listed building where Goya works. Telling a different tale was the painting of a cornflower blue full-skirted dress with a long-sleeved brown knit top. With its ’90s vibe and high-low mix, it suggested a less precious, perhaps even cooler, way forward for the brand apart from a full-look print.
Our skin is constantly evolving, which means changes to our regiments are sometimes needed—especially when it comes to finding the best skin care routine for mature skin.
While almost every skin care routine checks the same basic boxes—cleanse, treat, moisturize, repeat—mature skin care routines also typically target concerns like fine lines, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation. According to Dendy Engelman, MD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, as we age, our skin loses moisture faster, and our collagen and elastin production starts to decline. Introducing anti-aging ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides can go a long way, but building a consistent daily routine is just as important when caring for mature skin.
We asked dermatologists and skin care experts for their tips to craft the best skin care routine for mature skin. Ahead, you’ll find…
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Face Serum
Think of your morning skin care routine as your skin’s best defense against your environment and busy day. “The morning routine focuses on protecting the skin from UV exposure, pollution, and oxidative stress.” Paula Brezavseck PA-C, board-certified physician associate and founder of Azala Skin Clinic, tells Glamour. Here’s what it should include:
Gentle Cleanser
“Use a mild, hydrating cleanser (cream or oil-based are good options) to remove impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier,” says Angela Lamb, MD, director of the Westside Mount Sinai Dermatology Faculty Practice.

Serum
While not essential, a morning serum is a great opportunity to work some extra skin care actives into your routine without overwhelming your skin at night. “Vitamin C a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from UV rays and free-radical damage from stress and pollution,” says Dr. Palmer. “It also helps to build collagen and fade areas of hyperpigmentation.”

If you’re noticing more dryness in your skin throughout the day, you can also opt for a gentler serum for an extra shot of hydration. Look for a formula with peptides or hyaluronic acid—“a humectant that can hold up to 1,000x its weight in water, giving skin a plumper, smoother appearance and reducing the look of wrinkles caused by dehydration,” explains Dr. Whitney Hovenic, double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon.

Moisturizer
“Mature skin is often drier, so apply a good quality, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to trap water and keep skin hydrated,” Dr. Lamb says. “Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or glycerin.”

SPF
If your daily moisturizer doesn’t include sun protection, make sure to add a layer of broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher—yes, even if it’s winter or you’re planning to be inside all day. “Sun protection is essential, especially on the face, neck, and hands, as UV exposure is one of the biggest drivers of visible aging,” Brezavseck says.

While the morning skin care routine is all about prep and protection, nighttime is for recovery. Active ingredients work hard while you’re sleeping (without pesky environmental complications) to resolve common mature skin concerns. “Because the skin’s natural repair processes slow with age, nighttime consistency becomes especially important,” Brezavseck says. Here’s what you should use:
Cleanser
Since you’re washing your day off (sweat, makeup residue, dirt) you can opt for a lightly heavier-duty cleanser at night, like a foaming formula rather than a balm. But since mature skin care is all about preserving hydration, Dr. Lamb still says to avoid harsh soaps.

Retinol or retinoids
Retinol tends to be the centerpiece of the of the anti-aging skin care routine and for good reason: “Retinol stimulate cell turnover, increases collagen production and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It has also been shown to regulate oil production and decrease inflammation and hyperpigmentation,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Debbie Palmer.
That endorsement might make you want to start drenching your face in retinol nightly, but you’re totally new to the ingredient—and especially if you have sensitive skin—start slow. Kiran Mian, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Hudson Dermatology & Laser Surgery, recommends starting out by with a pea-sized amount of retinol cream or serum to your whole face once a week. Look out for signs of irritation, and gradually increase use (up to every other night) according to your skin’s tolerance.

Targeted Treatment
This is where you can tailor your nighttime routine to your unique skin care concerns. It’s generally best to avoid pairing retinoids with other chemical exfoliants or harsh ingredients, but if you think your routine needs another active, there are additional options.
