Stylists agree: This silhouette 'flatters all figures' — here's how to style wide-leg jeans with approachable outfits that deliver.

Certain denim trends come and go. Some come and go, then do it all over again, ad nauseam (ahem, looking at you, skinny jeans). But in an age where we're increasingly valuing ease in what we put on our bodies, most of us can agree on one thing: The wide-leg jean is where it's at. "It's 2026: If you're still wearing jeans that feel uncomfortable, then you're doing it wrong!" says Marissa Lawson, director of the Portland, Maine, clothing boutique, Bobbles and Lace.

Wide-leg jeans are comfy, roomy, trendy and flattering. “They extend your legs and cinch your waist to give your figure a more fit appearance,” says David Taveras, a New York City-based fashion stylist. “And that's the great thing about a wide-leg pant: It flatters all figures.”

Your office outfit might be hurting your mental health - here’s how to fix it

Stepping back into the office after the holidays can feel like a major emotional hurdle. The festive lights are down, the routine is back and for many of us, even the simple act of getting dressed feels a little heavier than it should.

But according to style experts, your outfit might be doing more than just covering you up - it could be quietly sabotaging your mental state.

African Artists Who Carry Fela’s Blueprint

...In Sound, Stance, and Spirit

Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti did not leave behind a genre that could be easily copied. What he left was a blueprint for how African artists could exist in public. Afrobeat was the sound, but the philosophy ran deeper: music as public speech, culture as power, and identity as something to be asserted rather than negotiated.

Fela collapsed the distance between art and citizenship. He insisted that musicians were not decorative figures but participants in national life, accountable to society and unafraid of consequence. Decades after his death, Afrobeat has diversified dramatically, but his presence has not disappeared. It has dispersed into pop, rap, alternative, folk, and experimental spaces.

This is not a list of imitators. It is a map of inheritance. Each artist here carries a part of Fela’s blueprint, adapted, contested, expanded, but unmistakably rooted in the world he forced into being.

Rescue dogs become runway stars at Cape Town’s Re-Loved Fashion Show

In November, fashion meets fur in Cape Town as models hit the runway hand in paw with rescue dogs in a unique show that’s as much about compassion as couture.

The Re-Loved Fashion Show will transform secondhand garments into high fashion, while giving homeless dogs a chance to strut their stuff and find forever homes.

Guests will see top Cape Town designers and promising students rummage through TEARS’ thrift shop racks, picking preloved items to reimagine as original couture.
