Ever panicked over what to wear to a basketball game? While you can never go wrong with rocking your favorite team’s merchandise, courtside fashion has taken on a much more stylish approach in recent years. Fans are no longer relegated to simply wearing a basketball jersey or sport’s cap; instead, attendees often use the occasion to go all out with street style-inspired ‘fits — think denim-on-denim looks, sporty bomber jackets, and court sneakers galore.

While the sidelines at WNBA and NBA games have long been a place for cool streetwear debuts, these past few seasons, stars have definitely upped the ante, with the floor appearing more and more like the front row at Fashion Week.

Athletes have also provided plenty of inspiration with their own pregame outfits; Kelsey Plum recently flashed her abs in a matching leather ensemble, while Caitlin Clark and fellow WNBA rookies like Angel Reese and Cameron Brink have transformed the WNBA tunnel into a full-on runway.

In short: basketball-game attire has never been hotter. In the spirit of that, we’ve curated a guide to the best basketball outfit ideas, with looks that are perfect for longtime fans and newbies alike. Whether you’re brainstorming what to wear to an NBA game or just trying to perfect your courtside fashion ahead of the WNBA season opener, you can find the best basketball game ‘fits ahead.

Is there anything more satisfying than taking off your bra at the end of a long day? Evidently, yes: not wearing one at all. In spite of so many rotating fashion trends, we’d argue that the braless look is one of this century’s most enduring fads. Thanks to the pandemic and growing interest in more comfortable wardrobe essentials, it’s also here for the long haul.

For as liberating as going braless may be, let’s be real: it isn’t always the most comfortable option, especially for those with midsize and large busts who might be more prone to back pain and discomfort. Fortunately, Uniqlo — ever the brand for functional fashion offerings — has developed the ultimate style for those who’d like to forgo wearing traditional bras without having to sacrifice on comfort and support. Enter in: the bra top.

Unlike other tank tops, these pieces are fitted with a seamless, built-in bra minus any awkward lines to accompany it. The bra tops are designed to mirror the look of a basic tank, but with an extra layer of inner support to ensure your bust feels lifted and comfortable. From tube tops and camisoles to cropped tanks, these styles are designed to cater to all body types and bust sizes. Plus, they come in plenty of color options, too.

Ahead, we tasked five PS editors with testing out Uniqlo’s bra top collection, and asked each to analyze the pieces based off their level of support and stylishness. Keep reading for our editors’s honest reviews and see why these bra tops double as a more comfortable alternative for embracing the braless trend.

Dressing up for an event is easy, but dressing for the everyday? Now that’s an entirely different challenge. It’s one thing to coordinate an outfit for a formal occasion — weddings, work parties, even date nights at fancier restaurants often have an attached dress code that provides some sort of direction on what to wear.

But what about those exceptionally casual occasions that don’t necessarily warrant a polished “going out” look, but still require more than your basic pajamas — like days spent lounging around the house, bopping around town for a few errands, or even just walking to get a coffee?

Even the most seasoned stylists struggle to curate the perfect everyday wardrobe. Luckily for us, Anthropologie — ever the haven for versatile fashion — just debuted a new line that’s designed to take the guesswork out of dressing for the day-to-day, with pieces that are comfortable (and stylish) enough to be worn for all sorts of casual activities — anti-occasionwear, if you will.

The Daily Practice collection is a capsule of styles that are made to do it all. Crafted from the brand’s softest fabrics, this line features a wide array of pieces — from stretchy jumpsuits and parachute pants to breathable maxi dresses and cropped sweatshirts. The collection is an achievement in versatility, with ensembles that you can comfortably wear from a morning yoga class to a long afternoon lunch and beyond.

To get a full understanding of the line’s offerings, we tasked three PS editors with testing several items from the collection in their own daily wardrobe. Keep reading for our review of Anthropologie’s Daily Practice collection — and see whether the line lived up to the hype.

When I was a kid, I was always baffled by how cartoon characters would wear the exact same outfits in every episode of a TV show. Minnie Mouse was always in her staple red polka-dot dress with a matching bow; Kim Possible was deeply committed to her pairing of denim cargo pants with a cropped green tank to match; and even Lizzie McGuire’s animated alter ego would don her pink tank, high-waisted jeans, and orange platform sandals time and time again.

In my adolescent mind, I always just assumed these characters had a closet stocked full of the exact same clothing items — presumably, I put much more thought into the wardrobes of fictional characters than most kids. Ironically, my closet as an adult has (albeit unintentionally) sort of started to mirror that concept in a lot of ways.

The older I get, the less interested I am in experimenting with new clothes or wasting my money on styles that I’m not convinced will still be relevant next season. I’m more focused on creating an investment wardrobe with staple pieces that can grow with me — and more importantly, ones that I trust already look and feel great on me. The viral Abercrombie A&F Sloane Tailored Pants ($45-$70, originally $90) have proven to be such a style — after panic-buying them for a work event earlier this year, I’ve since expanded my closet to include the pants in three colors (and have no intention of stopping there). Ahead, I break down why exactly I love these comfortable pants so much and plan to stock up on even more colors — especially while they’re on sale.

What I Like About the Abercrombie Sloane Tailored Pants

Given that I own them in three different colors — and have every intention of buying more — I think it’s fair to say there’s a lot to love about these tailored pants. First and foremost, I appreciate their breathable design. When it comes to formal wear, I’ve long felt that women’s clothing has lacked in the comfort department — the styles are often too stiff or heavy and noticeably more uncomfortable in comparison to men’s workwear pieces. Evidently, these Abercrombie pants are made from an everyday menswear fabric that’s designed to encompass everything great about a classic trouser pant, just in a more loose and flexible design. The material feels cooling on the body, almost like a spandex type of fabric. And despite their casual fit, the pants also look undeniably flattering while on, thanks to their tailored drape and pleated accents. I’m happy to wear them to a work event or just while lounging around the house; they truly work for every occasion.

I also appreciate how easy they are to dress up or down. For a relaxed daytime look, I can keep it simple with a cropped tank top, ballet flats, and a crossbody bag. For an elevated office look, it’s easy to team the pants with a bodysuit, an oversize blazer, and Mary Janes — the ensemble immediately makes me look polished and put together (even if I’m actually just running out the door). And then for a cool everyday outfit that can take me from the office to after-work drinks with my girls and beyond, I love keeping it simple with a body-con sweater and heels to match. The styling options are truly endless, which means I can really get my money’s worth with the formal pants.

What’s Worth Noting

Abercrombie has a unique size guide that’s atypical to other fashion brands, so it’s recommended that you reference the guide first before placing your order or assuming you know your correct size based on past purchases. For example, I am 5’10” and will usually wear a medium size in the pants department (which usually translates to a size 4 or 6). Because Abercrombie offers a wide range of sizes and lengths (including extra short, short, regular, and long), I decided to order the size 28 long — which is labeled as being a small on the brand’s website — and found that the pants fit perfectly. Make sure to double check the brand’s size guide to ensure you get the best fit and length for your body type.

Who Are the Abercrombie Sloane Tailored Pants Best For?

If you (like me) are all about investing in more wardrobe essentials that can live in your closet for the longterm, then you need these Abercrombie pants in your life. I’ve worn them in such a diverse range of environments — traveling through the airport, attending a show at New York Fashion Week, grabbing dinner with my girlfriends (and receiving endless compliments from them on how much they similarly love the style on me), and even just running errands around my neighborhood. Through it all, I’ve never felt out of place, underdressed, and, most important of all, uncomfortable. The bottoms are so versatile, and thanks to their ultra-flattering design, I immediately feel more put together the moment I slip into them. Whether you are looking to expand your work wardrobe, are in desperate need of a new everyday pant, or simply want an excuse to add more Abercrombie pants to your closet (because why not?), these are a style you can wear for any season or occasion.
