@oooyouswaggin came across these sneakers just in time, I think, as we’re in a bit of a boxing sneaker moment. And yes, I know these aren’t actually boxing sneakers, but sometimes you don’t need to do the trend exactly as other people are doing it, but rather interpret your version of it— almost in an Impressionist style, zeroing in on the general idea of the silhouette (which is a high-top that is not too ornate or puffy). The red pair feels like the one you could get the most mileage from right now, because primary colors are also having a moment (see Michael Rider’s debut collection for Celine). If you’re a skinny-jeans person (also a Rider/Celine thing), I would say go for it. If you aren’t, I would suggest you go with the narrowest width of pant leg you feel comfortable with, because the point is to really show off the sneaker, not hide it underneath a super wide leg. Another cool thing you could try would be to experiment with the color of the shoelaces. White is obviously good, but what might a tonal red look like? Or even something close-but-not, like magenta?

The Vintage Bag

It’s time to stop saving nice things for special occasions…

…and wear them literally every day.

Fellow Vogue-ette Sam Ravin and user @poppyharvey shared small baguette-size bags from the early aughts (the former, an incredible vintage pony Fendi, and the latter, a denim-and-leather Dior). My honest take is that both of these bags are so iconic that you should just be wearing them every single day, but that’s not what you want to hear—or is it? I could see both bags easily worn with all-denim looks. Whether you fully lean into the vibes of the era is up to you, and you can do so with a pair of low-rise flared jeans and a cropped, fitted denim jacket (worn as a top); a pair of balloon jeans and a denim shell; or a simple dress. But I could also see them holding their own against more striking contemporary looks: a slouchy tee half-tucked into wide-leg pleated wool pants; a proper tailored suit; or even something more bohemian, like a funky printed pareu worn over loose cotton pants and an off-the-shoulder open-weave top. With pieces like this, the instinct is often to “save them for a special occasion,” but every day you get dressed is a special occasion!
