My Mrs. Roper–Inspired Dress Is All I Ever Want to Wear
Long before Mrs. Roper became the poster child for the long, colorful caftan on Three's Company , there was my grandmother — all 4 feet 11 inches of her — clad throughout my childhood in psychedelic muumuus of her own making. She favored paisley prints, West African fabrics popularized by the Black Panther Party, and neon mod florals featuring a shade of fuchsia not found in nature. All this to say that I come by my love for the entire category of flowy, vibrant, loose-fitting dresses honestly, possibly even genetically. But the one I return to again and again — which also happens to be the very first thing I put into a gift guide when I started at Wirecutter — is the Silkandmore Cotton Caftan. I truly don't remember how I discovered the unremarkable and slightly hectic Etsy shop that is Sikandmore, but I suspect I was — surprise! — looking around for affordable caftans to use as swim coverups. I do, however, remember my first one. It was a navy blue striped number, over a decade ago, that first got me hooked on the gossamer lightness and beautiful simplicity of this particular caftan. The shop offers a bunch of different styles of caftan-like dresses: Some have empire waists and buttons, others are made of jersey knit, and there are also halter maxi dresses, nighties, robes, and maternity items. But I am loyal to the simple rectangle of lightweight Indian cotton folded lengthwise, sewn down the sides, and featuring a reinforced V-neck and a simple drawstring waist. That's it. This caftan comes in one size (when laid flat, it measures about 36 inches across, with 11-inch arm openings, and it fits my size-12 body well). And there are a few different lengths based on your height range. There are small slits at each side, and for an extra $5, you can add pockets. I haven't tried the one with pockets, but I've owned a knee-length version, and I prefer the long ones, for more dramatic swishing and sashaying. Because they are more or less made to order and shipped from India, these caftans can take up to three weeks to arrive. This regular cotton version has been in rotation for at least three years. Samantha Schoech/NYT Wirecutter Although I first intended to use it as a beach cover-up (and still use it for that), my Silkandmore Caftan's main job is being a house dress. As long as the temperature is above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, this caftan is what I want to be wearing (preferably without a bra, but you do you) while I'm working, lounging, and going about my business at home. I have also worn it out of the house with a cute pair of platform sandals and a long string of turquoise beads. (But do be aware that the lighter-colored versions can be quite diaphanous.) And on many occasions, I've also worn my caftan as a nightgown. By my count, I've bought five of these caftans in the past 10 years, and there are two still in circulation. I am not careful with them — I treat them with the delicacy of a beloved pair of sweats. But I do hang them to dry to avoid shrinking them and subjecting them to unnecessary wear and tear. Still, the cotton is so lightweight that it does tend to rip after some years. The side seams also weaken and creep upward, turning modest slits into hip-high ones (though anyone with basic sewing skills could repair this in minutes). The organic cotton version seemed especially delicate and prone to tearing. But this rip only happened after two years of heavy wear. Samantha Schoech/NYT Wirecutter If I reserved one of these caftans to wear only as a dress outside the house, or used them only while I was at the beach or the pool, I could avoid loving them to death in this way. But that's not the life I want to lead. The life I want to lead has me clad in the thinnest, flowiest cotton, with a cut that barely grazes the body. And although I'm not quite as fond of hallucinatory prints as my grandmother was, I like to think she'd recognize me now as a kindred spirit. As would Mrs. Roper.

Trump's tariffs take effect in fresh test for global economy
President Donald Trump's sweeping new tariffs officially took hold Thursday, as he barrels forward with his turbulent push to reshape global trade. After months of chaotic threats and reversals, higher rates for almost all U.S. trading partners began just after midnight in New York. Trump signed the directive a week ago, but had to allow time for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to make necessary changes to collect the levies. Taken together, Trump's actions will push the average U.S. tariff rate to 15.2%, according to Bloomberg Economics estimates, well above 2.3% last year and the highest level since the World War II era. Following a series of turbulent negotiations, the European Union, Japan and South Korea accepted 15% duties on their products, including key exports such as automobiles which otherwise face a 25% levy. Other countries were simply assigned rates, ranging from 10% to much higher. Some last-ditch efforts by countries to get better deals failed. The Swiss president left Washington on Wednesday without any success in lowering its 39% duty and Trump doubled levies on Indian goods to 50% starting in three weeks as a punishment for buying Russian oil. Negotiations on higher levies on goods from three of the U.S.'s biggest trading partners, Mexico, Canada and China, are proceeding on a separate track. Trump has also vowed to unveil soon tariffs on critical industries, including pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. The coming months will put the predictions of both Trump and his detractors to the test: that the tariff regime will cause a seismic shift for the U.S. economy. Trump has pledged higher levies will slash trade deficits and push companies to move manufacturing back to the U.S. His critics say they could cause inflation to spiral out of control and cause shortages on store shelves. None of those have yet come to pass, but recent economic data has indicated potential troubles lie ahead as the tariffs set in. July employment figures showed the steepest downward revisions to U.S. jobs growth since the Covid-19 pandemic. U.S. economic growth slowed in the first half of the year as consumers tempered spending and companies adjusted to shifting trade policy. Unemployment remains low and prices have not surged, as companies have so far eaten much of the costs. But some experts say consumers and businesses will end up footing the bill. "There are signs that tougher times are around the corner. A lot of companies have been building up inventories before the tariffs went into place," said Wendy Cutler, vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute and a former U.S. trade negotiator. She argued that it is "almost inevitable that prices increase" because businesses are unlikely to sustain lower margins over the long term. Trump's tariffs have injected tumult into the world economy since he first announced and then paused them in April - setting off months of breakneck negotiations with trading partners. The uncertainty created anxiety among businesses about supply chain disruptions and higher costs. Now, most economies have accepted that higher tariffs are here to stay. Many have pledged hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. investments to appease Trump and secure agreements for reduced rates. Still, crucial details of Trump's plans remain left to be worked out. Auto tariff discounts for the E.U., Japan and South Korea have yet to be codified and until they do, cars will face the higher charge. The specifics of investment pledges and policy changes on market access for U.S. goods - which could help shrink trade deficits - also have yet to be announced. Analysts at top Wall Street firms have warned clients to prepare for a pullback. On Monday, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank AG and Evercore ISI all cautioned that the S&P 500 Index is due for a near-term drop in the weeks and months ahead. That caution comes amid mounting concerns about the U.S. economy after data last week showed an uptick in inflation as well as weakening job growth and consumer spending. The cost of living was a defining issue in last year's election and polling reflects frustration with Trump's approach. A recent Fox News poll shows that 62% of voters disapprove of Trump's handling of tariffs – while 58% are against his tax and spending bill. Overall, 55% are unhappy with his overall handling of the economy. Questions also remain about the durability of Trump's program, as his use of emergency powers to impose country-based tariffs is being challenged in the courts. He is relying on more legally sound authorities to impose tariffs on specific industries, such as cars and metals. "You see the administration trying to present a story in which this tariff cycle is winding down and you're going to have some certainty," said Tim Meyer, a professor at Duke University Law School who specializes in trade. But he added that the "ability to implement is in grave legal doubt." Trump has insisted his moves will usher in a new economic golden age and has dismissed numbers that do not fit his narrative, firing the head of the statistics agency that published the latest round of jobs data. Trump has also crowed about increased tariff revenues, even suggesting that it might lead to rebate checks for some Americans. U.S. Treasury data show that customs duties have surged to a record $113 billion over the nine months through June. It is not clear he is making progress on another one of his stated goals of the tariff program: bringing production back to America. He and advisers argue the tariffs will cause manufacturing jobs to boom. Brad Jensen, a professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, said growing tariff revenues and jobs simultaneously is hard. "Both cannot be true," he said. If there is an uptick in domestic manufacturing "then we don't have tariff revenue" because fewer goods will be imported. ---------- -With assistance from Malcolm Scott.

India's Economy Faces Bumpy Road in Face of Steep Trump Tariff
India's growth outlook has been weighed by President Trump's punitive tariff on the South Asian economy but there's still hope negotiations will ease the impact. Trump on Wednesday said Indian imports would be hit with an extra 25% levy as punishment for buying Russian oil, on top of a 25% tariff that had been previously announced. Trump Pledged to Bring Back Manufacturing. The Sector Is Sputtering. Disney Paying $1.6 Billion for WWE Rights United Airlines Resumes Flights After Tech Problem Prompts Halts Microsoft Raids Google's DeepMind AI Unit With Promise of Less Bureaucracy U.S. Trading Partners Race to Secure Exemptions From Trump's Tariffs Indian exports to the U.S. now face a hefty 50% tariff, jolting longstanding efforts by both Washington and New Delhi to deepen ties in a bid to counter China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific. The new tariffs will go into effect 21 days after Trump signed the order Wednesday. India condemned Trump's new tariffs over its purchases of Russian oil as 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable.' Market reaction to the Trump announcement has been relatively muted. The Indian rupee weakened slightly against the dollar, while the benchmark Sensex stock index slipped 0.35%. Analysts think the tariff increase could intensify risks for India's growth outlook as the export sector's competitive edge as a regional manufacturing hub would be undermined. At the new rate, 'India's tariffs would actually be higher than not just its export competitors such as Vietnam, but also China's tariff rates across a whole range of products,' Michael Wan, senior currency analyst at MUFG, said in a note. 'If effective, the steep 50% tariff would be similar to a trade embargo, and will lead to a sudden stop in affected export products,' Nomura research analysts said in a note. When the initial 25% tariff on Indian imports was announced, Goldman Sachs analysts estimated that would shave about 0.3 percentage point off India's growth this year. They now think this hit could double if India is hammered with a 50% rate. However, Goldman Sachs said in a report that no changes to its 2025 growth forecast of 6.5% are warranted at the moment, given that there is a three-week window for India to negotiate with the U.S. before the increased tariffs take effect. Aastha Gudwani, economist at Barclays, said the heightened tariffs could be a 'continuation of pressure tactics, and final U.S. tariffs on India will settle in lower than the announced 50% rate.' The incremental tariff doesn't target India's trade deficit with the U.S., but is instead aimed at the 'threat' of Russia, Gudwani said in a note. MUFG's Wan warned that there could be broader economic implications for global oil markets. 'It is unclear how much space there is for negotiations between the U.S. and India in reality, and whether other countries which also buy Russia oil such as China would also have tariffs imposed on them,' Wan said. 'If India were forced to find alternative barrels of oil, the indirect spillover impact to global oil prices should not be underestimated,' Wan said.
