Product Insights & Style Tips

THE UPSIDE’s Racquet Cadiz Pleated Skirt takes the classic courtside moment and spins it in zesty green with a modern, all-day edge. With its crisply pleated silhouette cut from lightweight, activewear fabric, it catches the light and every breeze, channeling effortless cool and kinetic intention. The recycled polyester blend brings a soft-yet-resilient hand, while a fully lined interior and playful front drawstring keep things feeling composed and flexible—think tennis club meets Bondi boardwalk, with a wink to old-school varsity energy.

There’s ease in the details: the pull-on fit means instant comfort with just enough stretch, accommodating movement whether you’re rallying or running errands. The lining adds coverage and stays put, while the adjustable waist draws in for a barely-there fit that flexes with you. At 14 inches, it’s a leg-baring shape that layers seamlessly over bike shorts or under a chunky knit, easily shifting from pre-brunch coffee to late-afternoon hangs. Pockets aren’t listed, but the focus here is movement—the skirt stays out of your way, letting your styling set the vibe, solo or with sport-inspired layers.

THE UPSIDE has built its name by merging athletic and street with an eco-conscious slant, and the Racquet Cadiz skirt holds its own among the new guard of functional fashion. Worn with a boxy tee and sneakers, it signals that you get the game—both on and off the court—while nodding to the wave of retro athletic pieces redefining everyday cool.

Meruert Tolegen Fall 2026 Ready to Wear Refines Gothic Codes

Meruert Tolegen presented her Fall 2026 collection inside her New York boutique and atelier. “I wanted each garment to be spotlit, and I wanted each piece to really have its own moment,” she said during the presentation. The intimacy reframed her Gothic leaning language as something studied and exact. Tailoring has grown more prominent in her recent work, and Fall 2026 made that direction clear. A wool blazer with drop pockets set the tone, followed by shapely coats cut slim through the torso before pushing outward at the hip. A column coat finished with a synthetic hair collar designed to mimic monkey fur introduced a macabre note within the otherwise controlled palette of black, gray, and cream. Silhouettes stayed narrow on top and fuller below the waist, forming what she described as an upside down tulip. That proportion came into focus in a satin corset lace up hip dress that balanced structure and volume in one gesture.

The Soft Wing Eye Look That Instantly Lifts Your Eyes

Social media can be a mixed bag, but one undeniable upside? Instant access to the beauty pros we trust most. When celebrity makeup artists drop their techniques, we pay attention – and Nikki DeRoest’s latest viral look is worth the hype. She recently created a soft wing eye on Phoebe Dynevor that’s both romantic and lifting, proving you don’t need a harsh line to make an impact. Think of it as a modern take on the cat eye, with diffused edges, luminous skin, and just the right amount of drama. Ahead, we break down exactly how to recreate the look – and why this subtle tweak might be your new go-to for brighter, more lifted eyes.

Vetements Spring 2026 Reimagines Streetwear as Social Commentary

The Vetements Spring 2026 show unfolded inside a crumbling warehouse in Paris, setting a tone that felt both rebellious and intimate. Under Demna Gvasalia’s creative direction, the presentation rejected spectacle in favor of raw confrontation. Guests sat beneath flickering industrial lights as models moved with deliberate slowness, their shadows elongating across cracked concrete floors. The environment mirrored the collection’s intent—to strip fashion down to its bones and expose the fragile tension between identity and performance. Each look functioned as commentary, a reflection of modern dissonance where irony and sincerity coexist within the same silhouette.
