UGG x Y/Project Just Created the Most Extra UGGs You’ve Ever Seen

Regardless of how you feel about UGG boots, there’s no denying that they’re cozy AF… so we’d be lying if we said a thigh-high version of the ubiquitous footwear wouldn’t appeal when temps start to get frigid. Luckily for us, our dreams may have just come true!

French label Y/Project (the same brand that brought you those crazy garter-belt jeans) debuted a thigh-grazing version of the iconic boot in collaboration with the Aussie label at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris yesterday, and let’s just say basic just got a little less, well, basic.

With a (super) oversized fit and a length that reaches well above the thigh, the shoes, which come in both black and tan, are unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Y/Project’s Belgian-born designer, Glenn Martens, explained the creations in a press release, equating the experience of wearing the iconic brand’s shoes to “…putting your foot in a warm pot of butter.”

“I thought, why not elevate that and immerse your full legs!” he said. Why not, indeed?

If you want to bring this #lewk home, however, it’ll cost you a wee bit more than the OG version you wore in high school — anywhere from $270 to $1,380(!!!), according to a report from the New York Post. For those willing to save up, they’ll be available come fall 2018.

We can’t wait to see these bad boys hit the streets!

Slingback shoes are wonderfully versatile – you can easily wear them as awedding guest or to an elevated happy hour with the girls! Though they’re a bit less practical than your average walking sandals, they’re perfect for looking trendy and on-point. This underrated shoe silhouette is quickly coming to light, so make sure you pick up a pair before you spot ‘em on all the cool fashion people.

Naturalizer Jayla Low Heel Slingback Pumps

Naturalizer makes such comfy shoes, and these slingback pumps are no exception! They're made of leather, so you can be sure they'll hold up to years of walking and wear. The square toe and chunky heel give them a very approachable feel, which you can style casually or for more formal occasions. They're crafted with responsive cushioning on the soles for shock absorption and impact protection – which essentially makes walking worlds easier for all-day comfort.

The Naturalizer Jayla Low Heel Slingback Pumps are shoppable in 5 other colors for $110 on Amazon.

Youngshow Comfort Slingback Pumps

You don't have to mess with a single buckle with these slingback shoes. The wide heel on them means no missteps, trips, or slips – just downright comfort. The woven upper material is soft and stretchy, plus it's available in tens of different colors and styles. We adore this one because of the contrasting toe color. It makes for a playful outfit addition!

The Youngshow Comfort Slingback Pumps go for just $27 on Amazon.

Coutgo Slingback Kitten Heels

The sophisticated woven faux buckle detail on these heels is everything. Crafted with leather on the outside and a soft padded foot bed on the inside, you'll enjoy wearing these short, concave kitten heels just as much as you like looking at them. These slingback shoes can work with any ensemble – from jeans, dresses, shorts, and skirts, they'll give your look an added air of luxury.

The Coutgo Slingback Kitten Heels come in several other colors and are shoppable for $50 on Amazon.

Steve Madden Graya Slingback Pointy Toe Flats

For some edgier footwear, these slingbacks bound in silver hardware are the way to go. If you find yourself reaching for your Doc Martens more than your Nike sneaks, these flat-footed shoes will be an instant fit in your wardrobe. The two wide straps on top are adjustable by buckle to suit your step.

The Steve Madden Graya Slingback Pointy Toe Flats come in 3 other colors and are shoppable for $120 at Nordstrom.

Franco Sarto Racer Slingbacks

Make like cool girl Brie Larson and rock some butter yellowshoes for summer! They're your one-way ticket to looking uber-trendy for the season, plus you can wear them in so many different contexts. These Franco Sarto shoes are made from partially recycled materials, but give off a smooth leather effect. More than anything, the dramatic pointed toe will take your look to the next level. The heels measure about 2 inches, so you won't have too hard a time stepping out in these slingback shoes.

The Franco Sarto Racer Slingbacks come in 5 other colors for $115.

Jeffrey Campbell Rayna Slingback Heels

These are not your average slingback shoes! They boast a very sleek, but very chic shape that's finished off nicely with a slim kitten heel. Each shiny patent leather shoe is as strappy as can be, with 5 different adjustable straps sprawling on top of the foot. They secure on the side with small silver buckles, too.

The Jeffrey Campbell Rayna Slingback Heels are $178 at Free People and come in two other colors and fabrications.

Genshuo Low Kitten Heel Slingbacks

Metallic shoes are huge right now, so you'll be perfectly on-trend when you snag these slingbacks. Comfort is at the core of these patent leather and faux suede cuties – there's a soft padded insole and the outsole is made from wear-resistant rubber for an easy strut.

The Genshuo Low Kitten Heel Slingbacks come in 10 other colors for $40 on Amazon.

Bibi Lou Suzy Slingback Heels

These shoes are like a hybrid between ballet flats and slingbacks. And they're perfect. The toes are giving more ballet flats, while the heels feel especially kitten heel. You'll enjoy the coverage at the toes with an adorable square toe and cutesy bow tie, but appreciate the comfort levels even more, as the heel measures only 2 inches high.

The Bibi Lou Suzy Slingback Heels also come in black for $160.

Chinese Laundry Rozie Denim Slingbacks

These slingbacks easily let you live out your Barbie dreams, all while looking super stylish! The bright pink color (made from a denim material) just screams summertime, and you'll def be toting around in these all season long, thanks to their cozy fit. The block heel is easy to step in, plus the back strap is rid of all buckles or clasps for easy on and off!

The Chinese Laundry Rozie Denim Slingbacks also come in blue for $70.

Franco Sarto Khloe Slingback Pumps

If you wanna feel like the main character (you already are, but you might as well dress the part!), these red-hot heels are *the* slingback shoes for your vibe. The harsh pointed toe tells everyone that you are that girl. The thin, Mary Janes-esque top strap is adjustable with an elegant gold buckle, but the back strap is simply elastic so you can put 'em on with ease.

The Franco Sarto Khloe Slingback Pumps come in 5 other eye-catching colors for $125.

Jeffrey Campbell Striper Slingback Heels

Dare to be bold with these silver metallic slingbacks clad in woven details! The thin straps feel extra elegant, while the dramatic toe point is more experimental. For those looking to expand their footwear lineup, these kitten heels will be with you everywhere you go this summer.

Sam Edelman Terra Slingback Block Heels

These brown beauties feel like the ultimate office shoe. They'll give your workwear an instant lift with a trendy squared toe and classic slingback straps. The block heel doesn't limit your walking at all, either! This style also comes in black, white, and silver metallic colors.

The Sam Edelman Terra Slingback Block Heels are currently on sale for $105 (was $140).

Vagabond Hennie Sandals

These high-coverage sandals from Vagabond have a chunkier feel, great for those who get a good amount of steps in, but still want to look chic. The 90's-inspired top half of these shoes is made from leather, with a small area for open toes. The ankle strap is adjustable by a small silver buckle.

The Vagabond Hennie Sandals are $150.

Personal style is personal for a reason. Whatever you wear is a complete reflection of who you are, and this is especially true for what shoes you slip into every day. Everyone’s got their go-to sandals, but sneakers are an entirely different game, I tell ya.

If your fave footwear brand is New Balance and you just so happen to be in the market for some squeaky-clean sneaks, I’ve basically done all the research for you to help you find your perfect pair. This list of the most popular New Balance sneakers details not only each style’s practicality, but their personality, too.

Ahead, find your perfect New Balance sneakers – based on your vibes!

New Balance 9060: The ‘Fit Flexer

If you just can’t resist dressing to the nines every single day, the New Balance 9060s will fit right into your fashionista flair.

These “proudly futuristic” New Balance sneakers deliver on Y2K aesthetics beyond compare. The wider base is reminiscent of Nike Shox – very tech-y and otherworldly. The upper part is made from mesh and suede, supplying a super elevated vibe.

The white and cream white coloration is so easy to pair with most every ‘fit. They’ll match with cargo pants, vintage jeans, or even mini skirts and denim shorts.

Reviewers of the New Balance 9060 are glad they invested in this $150 shoe because it's so versatile.

One reviewer toted the 9060’s for fitting into “all aspects” of their lifestyle. Another said that the arch supports “unreal,” so though they’re more fashion-forward than other New Balance kicks, they’re still uber-comfortable for a range of activities.

New Balance 990: The Thrift Shopper

The New Balance 990s are straight-up dad sneakers to the core, so if you gravitate towards the thrift store (or all things vintage-y), you’ll find that they go swimmingly with most outfits and will stand up to long thrift trips.

While they were originally manufactured for running (and they still are), the 990s scream streetwear to me. They appear more elevated than your average athletic running shoe, thanks to the smooth pigskin and fine mesh.

The inside is fitted with a bouncy FuelCell midsole cushioning, and the shoe is available in 4 different widths. The range!

The New Balance 990s are very similar to the New Balance 993s, which is less performance-based.

New Balance 574 Core: The Weekend Warrior

Whether you're hitting the club or the farmer’s market on the weekends, you want to be comfortable (I mean, who doesn't?). The New Balance 574 Cores are made for the weekend warriors.

New Balance describes this signature shoe as “uncomplicated, rugged, durable, and comfortable.”

Though the 574s are pretty basic, they’re earned themselves icon status. You’re sure to see at least one pair when you go out.

The outer layer is made from suede and mesh materials dotted with 100% recycled polyester details.

New Balance 550: The Sneakerhead

These New Balance sneakers aren’t just black and white. They’re “sea salt” with “gray matter” and “magnet.” So yeah, if you consider yourself overly particular about your sneakers, the New Balance 550s are the shoe for you.

These were revived from the late 80’s and early 90’s then re-released full-time in 2021, and they’ve been a modern fan-favorite ever since.

The flatter soles on these sneaks mean they’re not as practical for running or walking long distances, but since they have a history with basketball, you might be able to rock ‘em on the court. More than anything, they definitely give basketball vibes, which is perfect for any streetwear ensemble.

The mixed materials and chunky approach to the classic New Balance logo give these an unmistakable air.

According to New Balance, these best fit people with an average arch height. The thick sole and cushy ankle padding work the hardest to support your feet, rather than an arched insole.

New Balance 530: The Gym-Goer

The New Balance 530s are giving Erewhon baddie. They’re giving I drink smoothies for breakfast. They’re giving I live and breathe pilates.

The stark white colorway of these sneakers reminds me of the clean girl aesthetic, and they’re so pretty, you may have a hard time getting them dirty.

Though very stylish on the outside, it’s what’s on the inside that counts with the New Balance 530s. They’re fitted with an ample midsole section that cushions and compresses your step.

New Balance Fresh Foam: The 10K Steps A Day-er

For the more athletic among us (hello, hot girl walks!), the New Balance Fresh Foam sneakers are the way to go. They’re designed especially for walking and running, so you can count on them to be comfy.

They have an extra-soft cushioning for a cozy step, and every aspect of the footbed is intended to stabilize the foot.

This shoe especially supports walkers or runners with the tendency to step heel first, a bonus co-signed by the American Podiatric Medical Association – this pair received their Seal of Acceptance.

The upper part of the shoe is made of mesh, so it’s highly breathable, even on hot days. They’re great for high arches, too!

Amazon's adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s famed Red, White & Royal Blueblew our minds with its perfectly extravagant and messy royal romance. Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz stole our hearts with their antics, proving that love isn't always as cookie cutter as we think it should be. Not only that, but it was the LGBT film we never knew we needed until it hit the big screen last year.

If you've been missing Prince Henry and Alex, you're in luck because a sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue is officially coming! Here's everything we know about the latest developments!

Is the main cast returning?

I'm happy to share that Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez are returning! I honestly don't think the Red, White & Royal Blue sequel would be the same if they weren't.

However, no other cast information has been released! Hopefully we'll see Uma Thurman and Clifton Collins, Jr. reprise their roles!

What's the sequel going to be about?

Image via Prime Video

As of yet, Variety reports that not much has been confirmed about the sequel's plot or release date. My guess is that there the two lovebirds will have to juggle new responsibilities and mishaps.

What the original plot of "Red, White & Royal Blue?"

Image via Prime Video

The novel centers around the character of Alex Claremont-Diaz, a first son of the United States, and his romantic relationship with Prince Henry, British royalty.

We cannot wait to see what new adventures are two lovebirds will cook up in Red, White & Royal Blue, but for now we’ll be rereading (and rereading) RWRB.

Summer is incomplete without a good pair of shorts that you can pull on for any given occasion – evening strolls, happy hours, farmer’s markets, and the like. But sometimes, the major struggle is finding a shorts style that feels and looks good (chafing is absolutely not the move). Luckily, Abercrombie & Fitch has so many cute shorts that aren’t a literal pain in the butt.

Abercrombie & Fitch is currently having a sale on all of their shorts! Here are the details:

  • Dates: May 10-13
  • Deals: 25% off ALL shorts, plus 15% off everything else (like dresses, jeans, tops, and more)
  • Stackable promo code: ‘AFSHORTS’ for an additional 15% off

We love A&F because of their versatile styles and their very impressive size range. They have a plethora of materials to shop from, including denim, linen, and fleecy lounge shorts. These are our favorite styles for summertime!

Denim Shorts

High Rise Dad Shorts

Dad shorts are an anti-chafing hero – this pair in particular boasts a longer hem than your usual denim shorts. The inseam measures about 5 inches, so you have more coverage! These A&F shorts are made to have a relaxed fit throughout the hips and thighs. We adore this light denim wash, but you can also shop these shorts in 8 other colors.

The High Rise Dad Shorts are shoppable in sizes 23-37 on sale for $52.50 (was $70).

Curve Love High Rise Dad Shorts

You can also shop A&F's dad shorts in the brand's Curve Love silhouette, which is made with an additional 2 inches through the hips and thighs to help eliminate gapping. Trust us, we know the pain of shorts not fitting right, which is why these pieces are so great!

The Curve Love High Rise Dad Shorts are shoppable in sizes 23-37 on sale for $48.75 (was $65).

Mid Rise 10" Loose Shorts

Long bermuda shorts like these seem to be another emerging denim trend for 2024. They look so chic with other summer capsule wardrobe staples like laid-back sandals and basic tank tops! Abercrombie & Fitch knows what's up, and this mid-rise number is perfectly on-trend. The inseam lands around 10 inches, with a loose fit all around the legs. You'll totally appreciate the additional length for comfort reasons!

The Mid Rise 10" Loose Shorts are currently available in sizes 30-33 on sale for $52.50 (was $70).

High Rise Loose Shorts

We truly cannot resist a high waist! While other shorts may fit snug against your figure, these let loose a bit for maximum breathability and comfort. The high rise still compliments your waistline, too. They're crafted from a vintage stretch denim material that moves with you, but still retains a bit of structure.

The High Rise Loose Shorts are shoppable in three other colors and sizes 23-37 on sale for $52.50 (was $70).

High Rise Mom Shorts

Mom shorts will never go out of style, in our opinion. A&F champions this timeless style with a super high-rise waist, 2.5 inch inseam, and a classic cuffed hem. The denim material that swarms these shorts is considerably stretchy, which is a massive perk for tackling the hot summer weather.

The High Rise Mom Shorts are also available in the Curve Love style, which accounts for 2 extra inches in the hips and thighs to fit your curves the right way. This style is available in sizes 23-37 on sale for $48.75 (was $65).

Curve Love High Rise 90s Cutoff Shorts

White shorts are a quintessential vacation piece, and these ones made in a 90's-inspired silhouette just can't be beat. The loose-fitting leg and 3.25-inch inseam allow for freedom of movement, whether you're walking, standing, or sitting down. The waistline fits you in a subtle v-shape, flatting your figure instantly.

The Curve Love High Rise 90s Cutoff Shorts are shoppable in 3 other colors and sizes 23-37 on sale for $48.75 (was $65).

Linen Shorts

Linen-Blend Pull-On Shorts

Linen shorts are so much more fuss-free than denim ones, but they can look just as put-together and elevated. Case in point: these pull-on linen shorts! The elastic high-waist pulls things together (without any buttons, no less!) and makes getting ready a total breeze. The inseam falls at about 3.5 inches, plus this cutie style has pockets!

The Linen-Blend Pull-On Shorts come in 9 other colors and patterns in sizes XXS-XXL on sale now for $37.50 (was $50).

Premium Linen Scallop-Hem Tailored Shorts

These scalloped shorts with an elastic waistband look like the perfect summer uniform, TBH. Their 100% linen construction means otherworldly breathability, especially when it feels like a million degrees out. A&F even sells coordinating linen tops if you want to step out in a matching set.

The Premium Linen Scallop-Hem Tailored Shorts are shoppable in three other trendy colors and sizes 23-37 on sale now for $52.50 (was $70).

Curve Love A&F Sloane Tailored Linen-Blend Shorts

Though these high-rise linen shorts lack some pretty cool scallops like the previous pair, their waistline pleats and sophisticated belt loops are everything. They're giving office chic in the best way possible! The generous 4.5 inch amps up the comfort levels of these shorts with ease, but the details from the cuffed hem to the seamless pockets make them a bit more luxe.

The Curve Love A&F Sloane Tailored Linen-Blend Shorts are shoppable in sizes 23-37 on sale now for $52.50 (was $70).

Lounge Shorts

Vintage Sunday Shorts

The Vintage Sunday Shorts boast a thick, durable fleece material that feels oh-so luxurious – even if you're just wearing them for a session of rotting on the couch. The wide, elastic high-rise waistband is fitted with drawstrings so you can find your perfect fit. These A&F shorts come prepared with two side pockets to hold your phone and/or your fave lip balm!

The Vintage Sunday Shorts come in 7 other fun colors and sizes XXS-XL on sale for $37.50 (was $50).

YPB neoKNIT Unlined Shorts

These short-shorts lean more athletic, but they work just as well for lazy weekends. They're made from a sweat-wicking neoprene material, making for exceptionally light and breathable wear. The curved bottom hem grants you more mobility, too. Plus, there's pockets!

The YPB neoKNIT Unlined Shorts are shoppable in 2 other colors and sizes XXS-XXL on sale for $30 (was $40).
