If fashion historians were to look back on 2020, we suspect they’d either shake their heads in incredulity or smirk in bemusement at how much we, collectively, fell into a pit of singular dressing: nap dresses (more so designed to be photographed in rather than actually sleep in), tie-dye anything, and sweatsuits saturated in every color imaginable. In our defense, outfitting ourselves in comfort clothing — and participating in a shared fashion experience — is, really, the only way to wield control when life feels completely and utterly chaotic. That’s not to say this year marks the end of individualistic style. With the end of 2020 fast approaching (subtext: a new year, a clean slate, a glimmer of hope), this is the time to reclaim our stylistic preferences from pre-pandemic times. If not now, then when? To help re-familiarize yourself with non-sweats, we partnered with Cuddl Duds to put together five outfits that both harness the power of layering to keep you warm this winter (without feeling weighed down) and celebrate your personal style.

The Cozy Minimalist

You love: finding comfort in monochromatism, a neutral color palette, and clean lines. Bright colors and patterns intimidate you (or outright frighten you), but, rest assured, your look is anything but boring. Your outfit: a white turtleneck as your base with warm camel-colored layers on top, made even cozier with delectable textures, like a chunky cashmere sweater and a ribbed knit skirt. Cuddl Duds Softwear With Stretch Long Sleeve Turtleneck, $, available at Cuddl Duds Naadam Marled Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater, $, available at Naadam Zara Knit Midi Skirt, $, available at Zara H&M Wool-blend Coat, $, available at H&M Brother Vellies Ronstadt Boot in Cognac, $, available at Brother Vellies

The No-Frills Pragmatist

You love: anything that doesn’t get in the way of your busy lifestyle. You don’t have time (nor the patience) to give your outfit more than two minutes of thought. And as someone who runs cold, you especially love layers that promise extra insulation. Your outfit: no-nonsense layers, complete with a double-breasted coat for a look that’s equal parts polished and casual, making it the perfect ensemble for a day of errands. Cuddl Duds Softwear With Stretch Long Sleeve Crew, $, available at Cuddl Duds Mango Wool double-breasted coat, $, available at Mango Cuddl Duds Double Plush Velour Legging, $, available at Cuddl Duds Cuddl Duds Womens Chunky Braid Texture Knee High Sock, $, available at Cuddl Duds Vans Old Skool Sneakers, $, available at Vans Cuddl Duds Fleecewear With Stretch Full Zip Vest, $, available at Cuddl Duds

The Loud-And-Proud Maximalist

You love: colors (the brighter, the better), patterns, and unexpected combos. You thrive off of bold and exciting outfits. To put it plainly, you’re an exhibitionist. Your outfit: print meets fluorescent hues with a cheetah-print base layer and neon pink pants. Anyone can wear a coat in the winter, but what about a shin-length puffer vest in pearlescent white? That’s all you. Cuddl Duds Softwear With Stretch Long Sleeve Crew, $, available at Cuddl Duds TNA The Super Puff™ Long Vest, $, available at Aritzia Christopher John Rogers Neon wool-blend pants, $, available at Net-A-Porter Loq Monica Boot in Crema Crinkle Patent, $, available at LoQ

The Great Outdoorswoman

You love: the wilderness. Even though you may be a city dweller, you get a kick out of applying aspects of your mountaineering look to your everyday life (the idea being: If it can withstand an arduous hike, then it can certainly weather a leisurely walk in the snow). Your outfit: a solid foundation of base layers (a wear-everywhere henley and cozy plaid leggings) embellished with key add-ons, like an oversized fleece (pro tip: shop the men’s section) and cool trek-inspired lugsole boots. Cuddl Duds Softwear With Stretch Ribbed Long Sleeve Henley, $, available at Cuddl Duds CBAAF Oatmeal Hoodie, $, available at CBAAF Patagonia Men's Classic Retro-X® Fleece Jacket, $, available at Patagonia Cuddl Duds Softwear With Stretch High Waist Legging, $, available at Cuddl Duds Nomasei Slalom boots in white, $, available at Nomasei

The Romantic Botanist

You love: diaphanous dresses, dreamy colors, and flowers (it’s your favorite print) — a style ethos that’s pretty much directly at odds with winter. Your outfit: a cold-weather version of something you’d wear in the summer (a pretty sheer dress, flower-pressed earrings, and baby yellow slingbacks), with the help of fleece base layers. Cuddl Duds Fleecewear With Stretch Long Sleeve Crew, $, available at Cuddl Duds Ganni Organza Dress, $, available at Ganni Cuddl Duds Fleecewear With Stretch Legging, $, available at Cuddl Duds Dauphinette Woodland Orchid Earring, $, available at Dauphinette & Other Stories Relaxed Single Breasted Coat, $, available at & Other Stories Yuul Yie Zizi Sling-Backs Baby Yellow, $, available at W Concept

In an act of end-of-the-week kindness we needed, Vogue revealed its December cover star, featuring none other than “charm-heavy style czar” Harry Styles, as writer Hamish Bowles calls him. In the cover story, the two banter about Alain de Botton novels, how Pilates has loosened up Styles’ hamstrings, and watching Clueless during lockdown (relatable). The revelation of Styles’ cover and profile is not in the text, however. The boy bander turned charisma-oozing solo artist and actor — who is the first man to appear on the publication’s cover solo — wears a dress straight from Gucci’s fall ‘20 runway.

The choice of the dress is not unusual for Styles, who has been known to make fashion statements and push gender norms in the past. He painted his nails lavender (and paired them with a lace collar and Mary Janes) for the 2020 Brit Awards red carpet; wore a sheer, pussy-bow blouse and a women’s Marc Jacobs suit (previously worn by Lady Gaga) for the awards themselves; and stripped down to fishnets for a shoot in Beauty Papers magazine in March. Styles’ affinity for pearls is, too, well-documented, as is his ability to send fans into overdrive after appearing in a new look. “There was such an insane spark of interest after he wore [an éliou necklace],” Cristy Mantilla, a co-founder of the Miami-based jewelry brand, told Refinery29 following the release of photos that showed Styles wearing a custom necklace from the brand at an airport in Italy. (He went on to wear another éliou necklace in the music video for “Golden,” and yet another in the Vogue spread.)

Per Bowles, Styles showed up for his interview wearing a pair of Columbia Records track pants and a sweatshirt he designed himself, but told the writer he wished he’d packed a muumuu for the occasion. According to Styles, his wearing of traditionally feminine garments started from a young age, when he’d dress up in “fancy dress” — British for costumes — for school plays. For his stage debut, he dressed up as Barney, a church mouse, which called for him to wear tights. “I remember it was crazy to me that I was wearing a pair of tights. And that was maybe where it all kicked off,” he says.

In other photos from the shoot, Styles wears a pleated skirt (courtesy of Instagram brand Chopova Lowena) and a lace gown. “I like playing dress-up in general,” says Styles. Alessandro Michele, Gucci’s creative director and a close friend of Styles, tells Bowles: “He is the image of a new era, of the way that a man can look.”

In July 2017, Vogue published a cover starring a different former One Direction member: Zayn Malik. Malik posed alongside then-girlfriend, now mother of his child, Gigi Hadid, for the cover — a shoot highlighting a “New Generation Embracing Gender Fluidity,” according to the accompanying story’s headline. Their interchangeable Gucci suits were meant to signify that the couple was not tied down by gender standards, according to Vogue. Following backlash over having a cis couple representing gender fluidity, a Vogue spokeswoman released an official statement: “The story was intended to highlight the impact the gender-fluid, non-binary communities have had on fashion and culture. We are very sorry the story did not correctly reflect that spirit — we missed the mark. We do look forward to continuing the conversation with greater sensitivity.”

Three years later, and it didn’t take an official gender issue to get there, but rather casting someone who doesn’t feel the need to confine himself in any way, especially in fashion. “When you take away ‘There’s clothes for men and there’s clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play,” Styles tells Bowles. That’s not to say that Styles is the first cis man to wear a dress. Men have been dressing in an androgynous manner for decades. However, he is one of the first to do so on such a global scale. (The man has 32.6 million followers on Instagram.)

In another part of the interview, Styles revealed another relatable item he has been living in during the pandemic, describing his lockdown uniform as “sweatpants, constantly.” He was still wearing them when cameras caught him on the set of Olivia Wilde’s forthcoming thriller Don’t Worry Darling (which has since paused filming due to the coronavirus). In the photo that circulated, Styles wears tie-dye joggers by luxury knitwear brand Elder Statesman with New Balance 574 sneakers, and a T-shirt by L.A.-based brand Free & Easy with “Vote!” printed across the back in rainbow lettering.

Here is a man who wears Renaissance-inspired gowns on the cover of Vogue, wishes he had on a muumuu, and wears sweats that make the internet drool. This man doesn’t believe in gender norms. He contains multitudes. His last name is, after all, Styles.

Fans of Princess Diana's fashion have been awaiting the new season of The Crown, which sees Emma Corrin take on the role of Lady Diana Spencer. And for a good reason! From the people's princess' wedding dress to the sky blue chiffon dress she wore to the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, some of Diana's best looks were the inspiration for The Crown Season 4 costumes. When preparing for the new season of the Netflix show, costume designer Amy Roberts and assistant costume designer/head buyer Sidonie Roberts studied photographs of the royal family before sourcing and buying fabrics for the costumes that were made from scratch. While the color palette they chose for Corrin's character was in keeping with the actual looks the Princess of Wales appeared in, the duo leaned toward shades that other royals did not wear, like red, to "further emphasize the narrative of 'her' vs 'them,'" according to press materials. This resulted in some bold evening looks, as well as Princess Diana's signature casual styles, like graphic sweaters and statement collars. Ahead, see costumes from The Crown, on Netflix November 15, inspired by Princess Diana's best fashion moments.

See-Through Skirt On The Crown

In 1980, just after her relationship with Prince Charles was revealed, Diana was photographed in a see-through skirt while at The Young England Kindergarten. The Crown replicated the look down to the sheer material of the flowy skirt style.Photo: Tim Graham Photo Library/Getty Images.

Ruffled Shirt & Sweater In The Crown

Before Lady Diana Spencer became Diana, Princess of Wales, she was already one to watch in fashion, opting for whimsical sweaters and standout collars as early as 1980, when this photo was taken.Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images.

Pussybow Blouse On The Crown

When announcing her engagement to Prince Charles (and debuting the ring!) in 1981, Diana wore a pussybow blouse — a style most recently worn by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris while giving her acceptance speech — with a blue skirt suit. Photo: Tim Graham Photo Library/Getty Images.

Yellow Overalls On The Crown

A favorite of many for its playfulness, these yellow overalls, worn over a delightful floral blouse with a Peter Pan collar, were worn by Princess Diana in 1981 to a polo match.Photo: Tim Graham Photo Library/Getty Images.

Wedding Dress In The Crown

Princess Diana's Wedding Dress

For her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles, Diana wore a dramatic taffeta-silk gown. Designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, the dress featured poofy sleeves, elaborate embroidery and lace, 10,000 pearls, and a 25-foot-long train.

Tartan Jacket In The Crown

When Beyoncé’s British Vogue cover story was released, among a handful of stunning photographs featured, one stood out. The shot showed Knowles-Carter with her back to the camera in a low-back, red Christopher John Rogers gown, a crystal-encrusted Agent Provocateur G-string on display. “Someone needs to come collect me off the floor,” Whembley Sewell, Editor-in-Chief of Them, wrote below Rogers’ Instagram post. Under her comment, stylist Mecca James-Williams wrote, “MAJOR.” In the 48 hours following the story’s release, fashion search engine Lyst reported that search for Christopher John Rogers increased by 20%, as did red maxi dresses, which spiked 101%. The visible thong, a trend popular during Destiny’s Child Y2K reign, while surprising on the cover of a publication like British Vogue, is just the latest example of the G-string slowly creeping its way back into fashion in 2020.

British Vogue December 2020

The controversial trend, also known as a whale tail, made its fashion debut at Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring ‘97 runway show. A few years later, it was spotted on celebrities like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Christina Milian, and Christina Aguilera. At the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, Spears wore a gold two-piece with a built-in G-string during a performance of “Oops I Did It… Again;” Hilton’s exposed thong debuted at a New York Fashion Week presentation in 2001; and Milian was spotted not once, but twice, in 2002 — first at the premiere of Spears’ flick Crossroads, and again at Justin Timberlake’s Justified release party. And these are just the highlights.

By the mid-’00s, to our relief, the trend went away… only to resurface again last year. At the 2019 camp-themed Met Gala, Hailey Bieber walked the pink carpet alongside designer Alexander Wang wearing a matching form-fitting gown with a low back. With the dress, Bieber showed off a thong that spelled out “Wang” in the same cotton candy shade of pink.

A month after the Met Gala, during spring ‘20 Milan Men’s Fashion Week, model Bella Hadid walked the Versace show wearing a black bralette underneath a sparkling blazer and fitted, black pants. Peeking out from underneath the ultra-low hem of her trousers, was, you guessed it, a thong, one baring Versace’s signature gold logo. Days later in Paris, a model on the Heron Preston catwalk wore patterned, low-rise cargo pants that showed off her black G-string. Also in June 2019, Euphoria star Alexa Demie (who plays Maddy Perez) wore an open-back, snakeskin dress by Mexican fashion brand Akna at the red carpet premiere of the HBO hit series. In a move that Maddy would approve of — the brand designed her character’s crystal two-piece set for the homecoming episode — the actress paired the floor-length, gloved dress with a black, gem-encrusted thong. Jennifer Lopez and Rowan Blanchard also let their underwear slip into view in 2018 and 2019, respectively — Lopez on the set of Second Act in Natasha Zinko trousers, and Blanchard for a night out in New York City.

Cut to 2020 and the pandemic, and comfort is reigning over style. While the nap dress and loungewear trends have been consistently on the rise since spring, others, like fitted suiting, that were set to rise pre-COVID fell flat once most of the world was ushered indoors. Which makes it that much harder to believe that the G-string has not only returned to haunt us, but is actually gaining popularity in lockdown. And yet, here we are, with visible thongs creeping up everywhere.

WOW @matthewmwilliams ✨ Congratulations on your first @givenchyofficial collection! It is such a beautiful collection. I can’t wait to wear all of the looks you’ve sent!!! 🖤

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Oct 16, 2020 at 7:59pm PDT

In October, hours after posing alongside her former boss Paris Hilton in matching velour sweatsuits, Kim Kardashian West posted an image of herself wearing a thong-baring Givenchy dress to Instagram. If that didn’t transport you back to the aughts, this will: Kimora Lee Simmons, the founder of ’00s cult brand Baby Phat, commented on the photo. “Your thong is showing ladyyyyyyy!!!” That same month, Emily Ratajkowski nearly tricked us into thinking her first spotting post-pregnancy news included a visible G-string when she wore a cutout Aya Muse dress. (It was a false alarm; the form-fitting dress just had a deceptive side strap). Then, of course, came the Beyoncé cover.

Celebrities have long worn out-there fashion that we wouldn’t dare to. But they aren’t the only ones who are welcoming back the controversial trend. There’s a new wave of designers currently embracing the whale tail. Kendra Duplantier launched her namesake brand with a pair of low-rise black trousers with cutouts resembling a visible thong just as Los Angeles was going into lockdown. What’s interesting is that her brand’s ethos is all about slow, ethical fashion, with each piece designed to remain relevant and stylish season after season. For her, thong-baring isn’t a trend at all, but a staple. Kari Fry, the designer behind another just-launched L.A.-based brand, Subsurface, has also made thongs a focal point of her brand. Her Hostess pant — which “embodies all things late ‘90s and early 2000s,” according to the website — features a thong-like cutout.

Fry tells Refinery29 that she believes in the “20-year-rule,” the idea that trends return every two decades. “Designs and trends tend to run on a cycle, and a lot of young designers coming up right now are ‘90s babies. I’m a ‘90s baby and this style is nostalgic for me.” Specifically, the designer took inspiration from another famous early-aughts celebrity look: Gillian Anderson’s 2001 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party dress. For the occasion, the British actress — known by Gen Z as Otis’ sex therapist mother on the Netflix show Sex Education and by Gen X and millennials as Special Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files (she’s also Margaret Thatcher on The Crown) — wore a long-sleeved, backless dress made of jersey. Paired with it was a sheer black thong. (Because it was 2001, she also wore tiny sunglasses with lavender-tinted lenses and carried an acetate top-handle bag.) “I wanted to create a sporty, wearable rendition [of Anderson’s red carpet look],” says Fry.

Call it nostalgia for simpler times or the cyclical nature of fashion trends, but the whale tail is back. Though, if you ask us, Beyoncé is the only one who can really pull it off.

Helen Vectorovich and her navigator partner, Theodore Westlake, have worked successfully together for years on numerous remote deep space mining missions. But while attempting to open a jumpgate billions of miles away, Vectorovich—remote piloting a robot body—discovers that the project is in chaos, being disassembled by what appears to be an army of tiny nanomachines of unknown origin. She is pulled out before the machines take her robotic body apart, but she soon discovers Westlake was inexplicably killed by quantum feedback. With her only friend dead and her career in jeopardy, Vectorovich sets out to find answers—and becomes entangled in a grand-scale conspiracy involving industrial espionage and what could be first contact with a sentient alien race. The tech-powered premise—exploring and mining space by sending nanobots (“eenies”) through small wormholes that slowly build pre-programed structures out of interplanetary dust that are ultimately utilized by VR pilots—is a strong initial hook, and the mystery surrounding the strange nanomachines is well constructed. The pacing is lethargic, though, with long stretches of little or no action. And the biggest disappointment is with Vectorovich, whose potential as a memorable and endearing protagonist is squandered by a lack of internal and external description and backstory. Aside from her work relationships, readers know nothing about her, which makes for a cardboard character whom readers aren’t emotionally invested in and ultimately don’t care about.

Wolves were long a key predator in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem before they were extirpated. In 1995, they were reintroduced in what the editors characterize as “a change of heart.” That change of heart is “the single most important fact of wolf recovery everywhere.” With the eminent wolf biologist L. David Mech, they raise the governing question of this book: Why are wolves important? Mech answers that in just the last 25 years, the Yellowstone population, which numbers about 500 individuals spread out over 19 million acres, have afforded scientists a greater understanding of wolf genetics, mortality, movement, diseases, “and several other topics difficult to study elsewhere.” Among the findings raised in this collection are that, unlike wolf populations generally, in which a single male and a single female found a new pack, in Yellowstone, “packs more commonly start from groups of individuals that leave their natal packs and find other wolves.” Another is that the wolves, their first generation raised in captivity and reintroduced, have figured out how to hunt and raise families in the wild. They have even evolved a complex geographical understanding by which they know “how to avoid dangerous geothermal areas, or where it is safest to cross the Yellowstone River, or where to find elk migrating over the Washburn Range after the first snows each winter.” Still another is that the Yellowstone wolf population hunt “eight large ungulate species,” seemingly selecting the ones that are most abundant in any specific season, given population dynamics. Overall, the contributors provide solid evidence for the editors’ hopeful conclusion that the wolves of Yellowstone represent “a chance to create communities of coexistence with the full suite of America’s wildlife.” Along with figures, maps, photos, and an appendix, “Species Names Used in the Text,” the book includes a foreword by Jane Goodall.

On Tuesday, Congresswoman-elect Cori Bush, a Democrat from Missouri who beat incumbent William Lacy Clay on Election Day to become the state’s first Black congresswoman, posted a predicament on Twitter. “The reality of being a regular person going to Congress is that it’s really expensive to get the business clothes I need for the Hill. So I’m going thrift shopping tomorrow,” she wrote, followed by, “Should I do a fashion show?” In no time, her fellow congresswomen, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, among others, responded with their advice for navigating the expensive style norms on Capitol Hill while on a budget.

The reality of being a regular person going to Congress is that it’s really expensive to get the business clothes I need for the Hill. So I’m going thrift shopping tomorrow. Should I do a fashion show? ⬇️

— Cori Bush (@CoriBush) November 11, 2020

“Thrifting, renting, and patience as you get your closet together sis. Capsule wardrobe will be your best friend. Ayanna Pressley has the accessory game down. Good news is that all these practices are very sustainable and good for the planet,” said Ocasio-Cortez, who worked as a waitress and bartender before running for Congress, in a tweet. She followed up with, “We’ll do a shopping day together. I got you!!” Tlaib also praised thrifting: “I get the most compliments from the clothes I got from thrift shops.” Pam Keith suggested renting rather than buying: “My trick is Rent the Runway for more posh outfits. Never have to wear the same outfit twice.” In other words, progressive women in Congress stick together — and apparently have similar shopping tactics, too.

Prior to running for Congress — which Bush did after seeing a photo of Michael Brown’s body on the street in Ferguson, MO, and witnessing the violent way that police treated Black Lives Matter protestors who marched following his death — Bush was a registered nurse and a pastor. She gave up her health insurance and both jobs to pursue a role in politics.

On Thursday, Bush followed up on the now-viral tweet with a fashion show featuring three new jackets she thrifted. In the first of three tweets, she wrote: “Most members of Congress aren’t working class. So when a regular person like me runs, it’s hard to handle everything from how much it costs to run, down to the clothes I’ll need to wear at work. But we make it work.” To the beat of Beyoncé’s “We Run The World (Girls),” Leikeli47’s “Braids tuh’da flo(w),” and Cardi B’s “I Like It,” Bush showed off her thrift haul, which included a dark red blazer, a coral-colored peacoat, and a long, purple trench.

Most members of Congress aren’t working class. So when a regular person like me runs, it’s hard to handle everything from how much it costs to run, down to the clothes I’ll need to wear at work. But we make it work. Here’s a sneak peak of a few of my thrift fits: Jacket 1 ✅ https://t.co/F3fpW1NC3f pic.twitter.com/etdLfuNx5w

— Cori Bush (@CoriBush) November 12, 2020

Alongside the haul, Bush shared more information about the difficulty involved with shopping as a new Congresswoman, putting emphasis on the inaccessible nature of Congress for “regular people” who, while running, do not have access to a steady paycheck. She also touched on the pink tax, the difference in price between consumer goods marketed toward men and women, which she says plays a large role in her current fashion struggles. (Products marketed toward women are priced significantly higher than those marketed toward men.) “The clothes I wear in the Capitol could make headlines, but a man does not have to worry about that. We’ve got to spend more on our wardrobes, and then caring for them costs more on top of that,” she wrote. At the end of the makeshift catwalk, Bush thanked her “siSTARS,” including AOC, Pressley, Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar, for their help. “Love y’all,” she wrote.

Bush’s fellow Congresswomen weren’t the only ones to come to her rescue. Designers and retailers including Jason Wu, Rent The Runway, and Christian Siriano all tweeted that they would be happy to help her get outfitted for her new role.

According to The Guardian, the median net worth of a congressperson in 2018 was $511,000, eight times that of the average U.S. household. Since Bush has yet to earn a single dollar for her new role, she can’t dress to match her wealthy coworkers, many of whom are men whose outward appearances aren’t criticized and nitpicked in the same way that women’s are. An outdated double standard? Yes. The truth? Also yes. Luckily, Bush has the squad.

This is also about the pink tax. The clothes I wear in the Capitol could make headlines, but a man does not have to worry about that. We’ve got to spend more on our wardrobes, and then caring for them costs more on top of that. Jacket 3 ✅ pic.twitter.com/b5HNQRG0po

Fashion has a way of taking our core wardrobe essentials and turning them into statement pieces. Consider the trusty trench coat: originally created to shield soldiers from the elements but, over time, turned into one of the most distinctive utility apparel items a person could own. It's no surprise, then, that the face coverings we've been advised by the CDC to wear for minimizing the spread of COVID-19 have been embraced by the fashion world. Masks may still feel like an unusual addition to our daily routines because of the way they conceal the parts of ourselves that are normally exposed, but that doesn't mean our identities have to be hidden too. By opting for the right print to suit your own aesthetic and making a purchase you know will benefit those in need, wearing a face mask can become more than just our collective responsibility — it can be an entirely new form of self-expression. "It just felt like there was a need [for a stylish face mask]," says Hillary Taymour, founder of the sustainable clothing brand Collina Strada. "I was wearing brightly colored masks walking over the bridge daily to the studio and it put a smile on everyone’s face. So why not bring that to the general public?" Taymour began producing non-medical face masks in mid-March, drawing on the crafty skills of model and friend Sasha Melnychuk to design something protective yet personal. The final product was a remarkable marriage of motifs featuring Collina Strada's signature ribbons — a fixture of the brand's runway shows — and the vibrant patterns of already available deadstock fabric. "With every purchase [of a Collina Strada mask], you are donating five masks to healthcare workers," Taymour says. "The design just brings a little sunshine during one of the most difficult times we have seen in this lifetime." Taymour was one of many designers to pivot to non-medical face mask production with the goal of giving back as the coronavirus crisis hit its devastating crescendo. Companies like Reformation and Sanctuary also reacted quickly by organizing local manufacturers to do the same using fabrics from their warehouses. New York-based label Alice+Olivia announced that it would donate 5,000 face masks to medical centers around the country while selling consumer-friendly options online. In addition to equipping customers with the coverings they need, founder Stacey Bendet pointed out a greater purpose of this initiative: "Let's show support for our community and the doctors, nurses, delivery workers, and first responders who are combatting this crisis on the front lines,” she said in a press release. The more non-medical face masks made available to the public, the less of a strain there will be on the medical-grade materials our heroes on the front lines require to protect themselves on the job. Ahead, we've rounded up a list of fashion brands that are enhancing the process of mask manufacturing with their unique brands of sartorial savoir-faire. Face coverings are a crucial way for us to keep one another safe when we're in public, and they aren't going anywhere. So go ahead and get comfortable with one that speaks to your own style, be that in the form of something upcycled, a badass camo print, delicate florals — even toile, if that's your thing. You do you, as long as you're doing it responsibly. COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic. Go to the CDC website for the latest information on symptoms, prevention, and other resources. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Angela Brennan is a highly regarded cardiac surgeon at her hospital in Barrington, Rhode Island. Her colleagues respect her, and the hospital administrators are grooming her to become CEO. Angela is driven and dedicated to her career, but her commitment to the job comes at a cost: Her husband, Tony, and their two children, son Liam and daughter Emily, miss her. “You’re missing so many of the little things that make a family special,” Tony says. Still, the family is happy, and the four of them enjoy an idyllic Memorial Day weekend on Cape Cod. As they’re driving back to Barrington, a truck smashes into the car in “an explosion of light.” Liam is killed almost instantly; Tony also dies in the accident. Emily is rushed to surgery to repair a shattered leg and a broken arm, but an accidental drug overdose kills her. Angela, reeling and feeling alone, leans on her friend Liz Rumsey, a nurse at the hospital. Soon, Angela returns to work, but without the same passion. She considers taking her own life. One day, a cryptic note shows up on her desk: “I’m not sure that the cause of your daughter’s death is what it seems,” it says. As Angela tries to figure out who left the note and for what purpose, her investigation reveals that her beloved hospital might not be the workplace she thought it was. Splaine’s writing is clean, precise, and explicitly detailed. The author’s knowledge of health care workers and the hospital environment is extensive, informing nearly every page. While Splaine’s prose recalls a surgeon’s attention to detail, the accident is depicted too vividly, with gratuitous descriptions of the horrific car crash. Throughout the novel, the villains are clear: the agents of bureaucracy who value saving face over saving lives. Despite such obstacles, Angela searches for what really matters in this stirring story: kindness, care, and hope.

This week, popular plus-size retailer Eloquii announced the launch of its first-ever tastemakers collection: a six-day event featuring drops of limited-edition looks designed by notable plus-size women. Thus far, Nabela Noor, the founder of the self-love movement Zeba; Curve Athletics founder Tasha Cobbs Leonard; and Retta or, as Parks and Recreation fans may know her as, Donna Meagle, have released (and sold out of!) their custom ensembles for the plus-size brand. Next up on the exclusive roster is Leah Vernon, the author of Unashamed: Musings of a Fat, Black Muslim and a plus-size hijabi model.

For the brand’s “Six Icons, Six Days” collection, Vernon, who is known for her colorful looks, designed a long-sleeved, sequin yellow gown. The dress, which she told Refinery29 is “the perfect combination of color, drama, and poise,” features a large, bow-like detail in the center, a mock neck, and exaggerated shoulders. In the campaign, Vernon wears the look with a matching yellow turban — that’s also part of the drop — and carries a golden umbrella. (Since the dress’ shade of yellow was so obviously reminiscent of the sun.) “I love all things glam — all things loud and bold and queen-like,” Vernon says of the inspiration behind her custom look. “The theatrics and the sequins are what I want to be in, even if I am just casually going to the dollar store. We should feel and look good, no matter what the activity. Tongue pop.”

This way of looking at fashion is hardly new for Vernon. “I use fashion as a way to rebel,” she says. “As a fat, Black Muslim who grew up in Detroit, I never felt that I could fully express myself due to society’s constraints on people who look like me. Now that I’ve tasted the freedom of being my true and authentic self, fashion is definitely something that I use as a tool to express myself unapologetically.” And while 2020 won’t see her changing that mindset, she does see it as an opportunity to share her unapologetic way of thinking with the world, something that Eloquii is helping her do with this partnership: “We are fighting to include marginalized voices, not only in the retail hemisphere, but in all industries, so for a fat, Black, and very Muslim influencer to collaborate with such an iconic brand, it’s game-changing.”

While a yellow, sequin gown may seem hardly functional in a pandemic, according to Vernon, it’s exactly why she designed it. “In the beginning of the lockdown, I’m not going to lie, I was in sweats and raggedy hoodies,” she says. “But, I knew that I needed to stay on track and that in order to keep a sense of normalcy that I’d have to continue doing what I always do.” Now, she tends to straddle the line between function and “something that makes [her] feel like a superstar diva.” She hopes this look will inspire people to get dressed up in something daring and bright as a way to uplift their spirits. “Take fashion risks,” she adds. “Just do it.”

As of Thursday morning, you can shop Vernon’s custom-made yellow gown and matching turban, while supplies last, on Eloquii.com for $129 and $24.95, respectively. And watch out for the final two tastemakers revealed on Friday and Saturday.

We all have those people in our lives — ones who say they don't want anything for the holidays. But, come gift-giving season and they're handing you a meticulously wrapped, thoughtful present, and you can't really be empty-handed. What then makes a good gift for the woman who wants nothing? If they have their go-to essentials or favorites, look to luxe versions of those. Have they been rotating between the same two pairs of sweatpants while working from home? Go with a loungewear gift, like some cozy cashmere joggers, or fluffy socks that don't come in a pack of five. Are they still the best-dressed even during the pandemic? Buy them a stylish face mask or a mask chain, neither of which will go unused this season. Ahead, 20 foolproof gifts to thrill the woman in your life who claims to want nothing this year. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.
