One of the things we hope makes ELLE’s coverage stand out is a sense of joy, and today’s newsletter is a case in point. First, a curation of extremely un-basic white sneakers with blingy details, surprising materials like satin and netting, and quirky style mashups (I have my eye on the espadrille sneakers). Then, click over to our shoppable story on the bold, vivacious Old Navy and Christopher John Rogers collaboration. “The more you play, the more you feel, and you can find what is really speaking to you,” Rogers tells ELLE. “It’s nice that maximalism—or self-expression—is having a moment because it gives people license to figure out what that means for them.” Co-signed!
