Jason Day Sparks Controversy With Wild Outfit Ahead of U.S. Open
In a world of golf where tucked-in polo shirts and khakis reign supreme, the presence of Jason Day has been a breath of fresh air for many over the past couple of years. With his daring sense of style that has ruffled feathers and turned many heads, Day has made a name for himself thanks to his partnership with Malbon, rocking parachute pants, trendy sweaters, and groutfits on the course.

This week, just a couple of days before the U.S. Open tees off on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club, Day once again turned some heads with his outfit choice. On Tuesday while warming up for a practice round, Day looked more like he was getting ready to head to a 4th of July barbecue rather than play a round of golf at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the nation.
On theme for the week, Day was seen warming up on the range while rocking a pair of stars and stripes shorts with a blue polo shirt.
What you think of Day's outfit choice likely represents how you feel about Day's fashion choices in general. Some are big fans of the bold looks, and the relatively casual nature with which Day treats the game, while others are upset that he is making a statement and going against the grain with his clothing.

Here's how some fans reacted on social media Tuesday morning:
"Dude's straight up wearing swim trunks," one commenter said.
"These are hard dgaf what anybody says," another fan added.
"Known American, Jason Day," one observer added, noting that Day is famously Australian, making his American Flag shorts a bit ironic.
While Day is letting the flashy outfit shine on a Tuesday practice round, it's fair to assume that he may tone things down a bit once the tournament starts on Thursday. We've seen this be the case in the past, with Augusta National Golf Club famously having to approve his wardrobe before The Masters Tournament this past spring.

As for the actual golf being played, Day hopes to get back into form and compete for another major championship. His only major victory came in 2015 at the PGA Championship, and he hasn't won on the PGA Tour since 2022 at the AT&T Byron Nelson.
This season, Day has three top-10 finishes in 10 starts thus far.

Florida center Jake Slaughter named to ESPN's preseason college football All-America team
The start of the 2025 college football campaign is right around the corner, and ahead of the opening kickoff, ESPN released its preseason All-America team, which featured a member of the Florida Gators. Center Jake Slaughter, a redshirt senior out of Sparr, Florida, made the list for the second-straight year, joining four others who were featured on last year's list. He is the only member of the Orange and Blue to earn the honor. "When Slaughter announced that he was returning for his senior season, it was huge news for the Gators' offensive line and a huge boost for coach Billy Napier," college football reporter Chris Low begins. "The 6-4, 303-pound Slaughter makes life easier for quarterback DJ Lagway and is a steadying force for the offense. Slaughter played 800 snaps last season, and his experience, versatility and toughness will serve the Gators well in 2025." Jake Slaughter's 2024 stats Slaughter started all 13 games in 2024, amassing a mountain of awards, including the AP All-SEC First-Team, ESPN All-American, PFF All-American First-Team, 247Sports/CBS All-American Second-Team, CFN All-American Second-Team, Phil Steel All-American Fourth-Team and USA TODAY Sports All-SEC First-Team. He was ranked fifth nationally among centers last year with an offense grade of 81.1, while ranking seventh in the country with a run block grade of 79.0. He also led the team in PFF offense, pass-block and run-block grades, as well as the offensive line as a whole in 800 snaps played.

From Seventh Avenue to Parisian Ateliers—Here are 10 Books to Learn About Fashion History
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. There's no way to dive into fashion without immediately coming face to face with two of the modern greats: Alexander McQueen and John Galliano. Dana Thomas's Gods and Kings follows the course of the pair's similarly timed (and in the eyes of the media, often rival) careers while giving context to both their personal lives and the rapid rise and growth of LVMH. It was a time of big ideas, scrappy personalities, and cutthroat business—and it changed fashion forever. The Battle of Versailles is probably one of the lesser-known events to occur within the infamous palace halls, but it's definitely one of the most important for the fashion industry. Written by Pulitzer Prize–winning fashion critic Robin Givhan, the book examines the unprecedented runway walk-off between European and American designers that solidified Seventh Avenue in fashion history. Also by Givhan, 'Make It Ours' is an in-depth look at both the late Virgil Abloh and the traditional luxury industry over which he triumphed. The book deftly chronicles the rise of his career alongside the rapidly changing fashion landscape, leading to his historic and ultimately brief appointment at Louis Vuitton. With an approach that's part biography and part cultural analysis, Givhan offers a thorough portrait of luxury's streetwear era. A little bit more on the theory side, Sex and Suits charts the history of men's and women's dress all the way from medieval times to the modern day. The book questions why menswear underwent such a drastic transformation following the 18th century and looks at how gender affects fashion to this day. Hollander is unafraid to get into the nitty-gritty—all of her books are a must-read. 'It's been Bleak Street over here in America!' Those are the famous words of the late André Leon Talley, who once declared a 'famine of beauty' in New York fashion. Talley's memoir paints a moving portrait of his singular career. From North Carolina to New York to Paris and beyond, The Chiffon Trenches is an intimate and, at times, ruthless account of his experience across the fashion industry. Believe it or not, the American fashion industry is largely responsible for much of the way designers think about ready-to-wear today. Prior to the modern-day Fashion Week, the youthquake movement, and the Battle of Versailles, European ateliers often snubbed the factories on Seventh Avenue. But Nancy MacDonell's Empresses of Seventh Avenue examines the historic shift in clothing following World War II and the select group of movers and shakers in New York City who made it happen. As the foundational text for the 2025 Met Gala theme, Monica L. Miller's Slaves to Fashion is a crucial examination of the history of the Black dandy. Beginning in the 1700s, Miller observes how the archetype has contextually transformed across generations, from its origins within the slave trade to representations of the Black dandy in art and music today. Claire McCardell helped radically transform the way women dress. To the designer, clothing served as an opportunity for female empowerment, which led to more casual, freeing silhouettes that helped form the basis for American sportswear. Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson's biography sheds light on McCardell's underappreciated career. Behind every garment is the person who made it, and behind every maker is a story about the inner workings of our clothes. Sofi Thanhauser's Worn is a deep dive into global textiles, both historic and new, and how their production processes have changed over time. The book also examines the industry's waste, pollution, and labor exploitation, painting a comprehensive backstory of our garments. From ELLE's own Véronique Hyland, Dress Code dives into how style—and the way we talk about it—shapes our daily lives. The book explores how fashion permeates all aspects of life, from the enduring allure of the 'French girl' archetype to the politics of how we dress in the workplace. Hyland examines how fashion is inextricably linked to our routines and why it remains undervalued within the realms of art and culture.

Influencer slammed for ‘hideous,' too-revealing dress at fashion show: ‘Different isn't always flattering'
Dress to impress — or not. An influencer is being bashed for attending a fashion show in an extremely revealing outfit. Elle Ferguson shared a video on Instagram wearing the lilac Loewe dress from their fall 2025 collection with a deep, plunging neckline and a layered peplum design around the waist. 'All I can say is THE LILAC @loewe dress is even better in real life,' Ferguson, who famously quit the Australian reality show 'The Block' in 2022, wrote in her caption. Fans and haters rushed to the comments section to slam the 'hideous' outfit, with many noting that it's not complementary to her body. 3 Elle Ferguson is being bashed for attending a fashion show in an extremely revealing outfit, which she is seen modeling (above) in a viral video. @elle_ferguson/Instagram 'Not a fan, it reminds me of loose skin after massive weight loss!' one person noted. 'Different isn't always flattering. And I'm talking about the dress not you. This dress wouldn't be flattering in anyone as it is,' someone wrote. 'It's terrible and you look so uncomfortable in it – like you're afraid it's going to flop open. Not a good look REALLY,' a user commented. 3 The lilac Loewe dress (above) was slammed as 'hideous' and terrible.' @elle_ferguson/Instagram 'Looks so uncomfortable to wear,' another said. 'Why are people lying? This dress is awful. Stop the BS. Elle, gorg, the dress, terrible. Every bit of it except the color,' someone else said. However, some people came to her defense, complimenting the outfit. 'Ok Victoria's Secret model,' one person wrote alongside multiple heart-eye emojis. 'You are the full model vibe. Give this girl a catwalk,' another commented. 'Actual Supermodel,' someone declared. The post comes a few months after Ferguson revealed some shocking instances of her past that occurred as she built her career as a businesswoman. 3 The dress (above) features a deep, plunging neckline and a layered peplum design around the waist. @elle_ferguson/Instagram In May, she captioned an Instagram story 'awkward question' and shared a query she was once asked in an interview. 'I remember so vividly sitting in a job interview (conducted by a woman) and being asked the reason why I've come so far in my job because of the 'way I looked,'' she said at the time, according to the Daily Mail. 'Can I ask you a question? I'm sitting here looking at you … you're an attractive-looking girl … lady. How important does that play in getting yourself to stand out amongst the crowd?' she wrote in a post with a simple black tile. In the next story, she posted another black tile that asked, 'Do you think a man would be asked this question?' along with a yes or no question box. 'This was one of the questions I was asked in 2019 by Mark Bouris,' she finally revealed, referring to her guest episode on Aussie podcaster Bouris' 'The Mentor' show in 2019. Ferguson replied to the host, saying that she had to work 'harder' for her success, considering she had to overcome the ''Legally Blonde' dumb blond' stereotype.
