Men’s Fashion: Spring

Hail spring! May flowers are just around the corner, bringing new occasions to look dashing. THE EDITORS dole out their advice, on lightweight suits (nice), scuba gear (when underwater), and seersucker (not yet). (Opinions | April 9, 2003)

Women’s Fashion: Part V, Releasing Your Inner Slut

If you look like you just got some, it’s sexy. If you’re dressed like you’re out to get some, it’s slutty. In the fifth part of our women’s fashion series, MARGARET MASON encourages you to ignore the distinction. (Opinions | March 20, 2003)

Women’s Fashion: Part IV, Accessories

Forget about your butt; consider your jewelry. (You can change it a hell of a lot faster.) MARGARET MASON adds part four to our Women’s Fashion series with a look at the history of accessories. (Opinions | January 14, 2003)

Women’s Fashion: Part III, Hats

In the third installment of our Women’s Fashion series, MARGARET MASON wonders why hats ever fell out of favor. After all, if you choose your headgear well, no one will notice what else you’re wearing. (Opinions | December 10, 2002)

Women’s Fashion: Part II, Color

MARGARET MASON returns with our second installation in the Women’s Fashion Series. This week, black is slimming, but orange is fun. To hell with neutrals, we want to see more cha-cha in your wardrobe. (Opinions | November 14, 2002)

Women’s Fashion: Part I, Classics

Forget about trends for a moment and focus on good taste. MARGARET MASON kicks off our series with what you need: the a-line skirt, the peacoat, the little black dress. (Opinions | October 28, 2002)

Men’s Fashion: Part 4, Conclusion

THE EDITORS conclude the Men’s Fashion series with a few tips of advice to how to wear a tie, hold an umbrella, and arrange your wallet to win when your lover goes a-spyin’. (Opinions | May 6, 2002)

Men’s Fashion: Part 3, Pants

They decorate your legs. They accentuate your form. They define your character. And the correct choice between wearing them or not can keep you out of jail. THE EDITORS present part three of their men’s fashion advice: pants. (Opinions | April 29, 2002)

Men’s Fashion: Part 2, Dress Shirts

Our second installment of men’s fashion advice, and our favorite topic: dress shirts. They can match any outfit, be worn in planes and malls alike, dress Miles Davis and Bill Gates in the same colors, and still say different things. THE EDITORS explain how. (Opinions | April 22, 2002)

Men’s Fashion: Part 1, Suits

It’s the one thing every man should own: a suit. THE EDITORS salute the suit’s ability to withstand expiration, bask in its enduring appeal, and offer advice on what to look for when you’re off to buy your own. If only we could be there to say, “Suits you, sir!” (Opinions | April 15, 2002)
