Actors Dressing the Part of Tourists
Can casually dressed people stand out in a crowd? Johnny Sequoyah and Mitchell Hoog proved that the answer can be yes — though it helped that Ms. Sequoyah, in her baseball jersey and Bermuda jorts, and Mr. Hoog, in his loose chocolaty layers, exuded a magnetic charisma as they walked through the busy streets of Hong Kong on a Friday in May. The couple, I soon learned, was familiar with capturing attention: Ms. Sequoyah, 22, and Mr. Hoog, 26, are both actors. He was filming a project in Hong Kong, and she had come to visit him. 'I feel like this entire trip has just kind of been walking around, finding holes in the wall, eating there,' Ms. Sequoyah said. Mr. Hoog, who said he had bought the brown sweater draped around his shoulders at a vintage store in Beijing, described his style as fluid. 'Sometimes it's full Western influence, from growing up in Colorado,' he said, adding that he is also drawn to Asian designers like Yohji Yamamoto of Japan and Uma Wang of China. Ms. Sequoyah's fashion tastes were also shaped by places she has lived, she said, specifically Los Angeles and Boise, Idaho. She prefers buying clothes secondhand, she added, and has a sort of sixth sense when shopping. 'I swear, some pieces I feel like speak to me, like, Oh, that's a Johnny thing.' Tap to see more looks

I tried on 12 Old Navy dresses, jumpsuits and more — they make me feel comfortable and chic as a 48-year-old mom, and they're all 50% off
There was a time in the early 2000s when everything I owned was from Old Navy. Flash forward to me at 48, and I still can't get enough of the dependable and always affordable brand. Their current summer collection is particularly on-point — something I learned when I decided to pop into the store on my way back from an emergency evening milk run (how do we go through it so fast!?). I tried on over a dozen items, and I wanted every single one of them. From casual dresses to cute jumpsuits, these all make me feel comfortable and chic, and all work for my busy life as a mom of two. The best part? Everything is currently under $30 thanks to Old Navy's massive sale, where you can score 50 per cent off just about everything. Check out my summer style recommendations below. $17 $35 at Old Navy Whether you are looking for a comfy beach cover-up or a low-maintenance dress for running errands, this 100 per cent cotton T-shirt dress checks all the boxes. I tried this on in three colours, including classic black, and really liked the look and feel of them all. The slide slits also give it a little more of an edgy style while allowing you to move with (or chase) your kiddos. $20 $40 at Old Navy I don't always love dresses that fall above the knee, but this mini with its side pockets was just too cute not to try. I was immediately drawn to the bright colourway and appreciated the wide adjustable straps. The 100 per cent viscose rayon fabric is curve-hugging without being too tight, and the fit-and-flare shape is super flattering — no wonder shoppers are calling this the "perfect summer dress." One thing? My usual size XS fit fine, but I found it to be a bit looser than I would like in the bust. $27 $55 at Old Navy I absolutely loved this dress. The fit, length and comfort were all off the charts. I tried it on in three different colourways and loved them all. Available in regular, tall and petite sizes, this dress is a great option for a variety of body types. With more than 1,600 five-star reviews, I'm not the only one raving about this "versatile" and "flattering" frock. $22 $45 at Old Navy This 100 per cent cotton twill dress is so light and airy. The fabric feels great, and the sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulders depending on your mood and how much coverage you want. Again, I'm not the biggest fan of short hemlines, but I found the silhouette to be really flattering paired with longer sleeves. The hidden side pockets are, of course, an awesome bonus. $27 $55 at Old Navy I've always wanted to be someone who could pull off a jumpsuit but never found one I felt comfortable in — until now. This linen/rayon number fits my smaller frame perfectly. I love the hip pockets, four-button front and adjustable straps. I will say it took a little muscle to get the fitted waist above my hips, and I wish it had a zip for easy on and off, but, good golly, did it look and feel great on. From $24 $50 at Old Navy This dress is a perfect example of one that looks way better on than it does on the rack. The V-neck tie front is fun and sexy, and I love the look of the ruffled waist. The smocked bodice of this 100 per cent cotton twill dress also allows for a super comfortable fit. I never had a purple dress on my bingo card for summer, but this comfy one with pockets has totally won my heart. $17 $35 at Old Navy For me, it's all about bright colours this summer. The super soft rayon/spandex blend of fabric would fall nicely over my swimsuit or out and about for a casual day. The high neck provides great coverage, and with a cute pair of sandals or wedges, it's perfect for summer. It does appear to wrinkle easily, which can be a pain, so have a steamer handy when you're ready to wear. $22 $45 at Old Navy Me? In a romper? No way! I rarely wear shorts, but this one was too cute not to try. I love the cut-out in the middle, and the 100 per cent cotton fabric feels so great against my sensitive skin. The adjustable spaghetti straps allowed me to get the perfect fit on top. Consider me a convert! From $12 $25 at Old Navy I can see this "easy to wear" dress being a total go-to for me as a low-maintenance mom of two. I get a bit self-conscious about my mommy-middle, so I love that this dress is loose-fitting but still stylish and trendy. $22 $45 at Old Navy I've never owned anything gingham (seriously!) but this cheerful, sunny number is really tempting me. Just a note: I would recommend investing in some skin-toned underwear if you opt for this style, as the fabric is quite lightweight. $25 $50 at Old Navy This dress can take you from a day at the beach to a night out in a pinch. Humid days will be much more survivable while wearing this flowy frock. However, if you need a dress with more chest support, this might not be a fit for you. $25 $50 at Old Navy The cushioned footbed of these platform wedge sandals makes them a ridiculously comfortable pair of sandals. As you may have spotted above, I tried them on with all the dresses and loved how they looked, but more importantly, how they felt. The faux leather straps don't rub against the skin, and I love an adjustable buckle. I sent my sister a picture of them, and she immediately texted back, "Get me a pair too!"

WeWork CEO: My firefighter dad taught me how to lead
J ohn Santora eyes my tie with a look not far from envy. Dressed in a sports jacket, chinos and brown loafers, the American's eyes then move jealously across my suit. 'Ah,' he says, gesturing uncomfortably at his casual garb: 'I still can't get used to having to wear this stuff.' Santora, you see, is the lifelong suit, tie and brogues man helicoptered in to run that most relaxed of temporary-office providers, WeWork. Many of the 68-year-old's customers, as we see in its flagship venue in London's Waterloo, are the kind of thirtysomething tech bros who think wearing jeans not deliberately ripped at the knee is 'dressing up for work'. Santora feels obliged to follow, but stands out like a dad at the school disco.

Kendall Jenner Swaps Her White Tank Top and Cowboy Boots for Parisian Casual
Mere days ago, Kendall Jenner was photographed in Los Angeles dressed in a Hanes white tank top, her light-wash denim tucked into brown cowboy boots. Now, Jenner has decamped to Paris amidst the spring 2026 menswear shows. Yesterday, for dinner with pal Fai Khadra, Jenner offered a much more put-together take on casual. On top, she wore a cropped white long-sleeve from Jacquemus, outfitted with a dramatic collar that draped over her shoulders and wrapped around her waist. Kendall Jenner in Paris. BACKGRID USA Kendall Jenner in Los Angeles earlier this week. AKGS As for her bottoms, Jenner embraced the capris trend in a pair of black mid-rise shorts that fell to her knee. The longer shorts have been a hit in her orbit as of late, from her friend Hailey Bieber's polka-dot pants to her sister Kim Kardashian's crocodile swim capris. Of course, no Kendall Jenner outfit is complete without something from The Row. The model carried a black silk accordion bag and appeared to be wearing the brand's Vika ankle-strap sandals in black (she also owns a pair in nude). While her cowboy boots and white tank top were perfect for LA, she reminded us that casual takes on different meanings—depending on where you are.

Tod's Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
The sizzling Milan heat took a breather (so to speak) at Club Gommino, Tod's open-air lounge opened in the lush garden of Villa Necchi Campiglio to fête the spring presentation. Guests, iced drinks in hand, let portable fans work overtime. Models were arranged in languid poolside tableaux. A tennis court was set up under a (thankfully refrigerated) canopy to display the accessory collection. Matteo Tamburini kept his cool—quite literally—during a garden press conference that had editors daydreaming of the seaside escape images he had pinned on the moodboard. A native of Pesaro, a resort town in the Marche region, he's familiar with the spirit of Italian villeggiatura—sandy beaches, striped ombrelloni, and lazy afternoons under breezy tents. For spring, he channeled that summer ease: think refined casual wear inflected with a laid-back vibe. 'The silhouettes follow the idea of balanced comfort,' Tamburini said. 'Each piece has a calibrated functionality, a kind of relaxed sartorial flair, with just a dash of sportiness.' His warm, elegant minimalism feels like a good fit for Tod's. Rather than chasing trends, he's refreshed the brand codes with natural polish. Working within the familiar framework of classic casual wear, Tamburini emphasized fluid movement using soft yet structured fabrics: travel-friendly wool, suede in sherbet hues, and striped silk canvas. Shirts carried the breezy lightness of deck chair coverings; the color palette drew inspiration from the chromatic studies of Josef Albers. 'These are hues that meet and transform,' said Tamburini, 'just as light changes the way we perceive things.' Who knew Tamburini isn't just a sharp designer, but something of a poet too?
