    6 Ways to Style Your Leather Jacket This Fall

    This year more than most, you probably haven’t bought many new things for the season (besides more pairs of sweats, that is). New clothes feel like an old concept from a past life, and making do with what you already have is the new norm—which means that styling your go-to pieces in new-and-improved ways is essential.If there’s one thing almost everyone has in their closet, it’s a leather jacket. You can wear them with, quite literally, anything, and it’s impossible to make them look anything but chic. But it’s easy to get stuck in a rut; especially since we aren’t leaving the house much, it’s easy to wear them the same way every time you leave the house. But fear not: we’re giving you six fresh, new ideas of how to wear yours from now until spring. Your leather jacket is about to feel brand new.

    15 Waterproof Boots That Will Save You This Season

    If there’s one thing I’m allowed to claim I’m an expert on, on account of being a life-long resident of Chicago, it’s knowing how to weather unexpected terrain. Yes, referring to the streets of the third-largest city in the country as “terrain” sounds dramatic, but it couldn’t be further from it. On any given day, we could have sun and blue skies turn into a downpour and then sleet and freezing rain and then a full-blown snowstorm within a matter of hours (and it isn’t even that uncommon!).The worst accounts of this are always the days I didn’t dress for it; when I got dressed for a 50-and-sunny day in my favorite outfit and then had to walk 1.5 miles to the train station after work slipping in fresh-fallen snow. And a lot of my shoes have suffered a quick, unexpected death because of it.
    But you don’t need to sacrifice style for shoes that can survive the elements anymore; there are a ton of boots on the market that look just like your favorite, stylish ones, but are also waterproof—and therefore leave you prepared for any weather surprise that might arise. These 15 boots will save you from style emergencies this winter: More

    7 Outfits to Copy for Thanksgiving—No Matter What You’re Doing

    Of all of the holidays of the entire year, the one that gets treated the most like a fashion show is, without a shadow of a doubt, Thanksgiving. Maybe it’s all the rich, warm colors that come with autumn or maybe it’s just the chance to show your cousin who the top dog of the family is, but a Thanksgiving outfit comes with a lot of pressure to perform.Yes, we know Thanksgiving looks a little bit different this year than others. You might be seeing less people than usual, or you might be choosing to stay home altogether—but dare I say, the show must go on. I know that for myself, my immediate family consisting of a total of four of us will be seeing me dress to the nines while they make fun of me from the comfort of their pajamas—to each their own.

    To help alleviate the decision making you have to do (stick to choosing which pie you want to eat instead!), we’ve styled seven outfits perfect for your Thanksgiving dinner. Bonus: most of them don’t require real pants!

    pants / button-up / necklace / sneakers

    2.
