Beleaguered Louvre president Laurence des Cars quits after a historic heist under her watch. The next morning, a new leader is announced. It's Christophe Leribault from the Palace of Versailles, a true museum animal who ran a few during his career.

"I 'm the most hated man in town," Ray McKelvie told me. The town in question was Clinton, British Columbia, approximately 350 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, on Highway 97. Later, I asked another Clinton resident whether McKelvie's claim was true. She thought for a moment. "Well, there's Joe, who lives in the trailer park," she said. "We don't like him much either. But it's about even."

Featuring a washed-denim effect, scattered white stars and sharp red detailing at the collar and sleeves, the adidas U.S. Denim Jersey blends 90s-inspired aesthetics with modern streetwear influence. The jersey preserves a bold visual language from the 90s, now engineered in lightweight performance fabric to elevate comfort, movement and versatility for today's athlete and fan.

Whether you're pulling out the stops with pockets, prints or preppy know-how, you can't go wrong with showing off the lightweight outerwear this spring. Along the way, I clocked a lot of really cool jackets, and damn did the wearers look good.

The new, bigger, better Goodwill store is just the latest sign of a booming thrift store business that amounts to a perfect storm for charities from the Salvation Army to Housing Works, collecting and selling clothing and other items. While companies are also fueling and feeding on a thrift boom, the nonprofits also offer tax benefits to donors and use sales to help support their missions.

"First, a sweaty workout with free weights, followed by sit-ups. Then: a tight pair of faded blue jeans and nothing else. Shirtless, barefoot, commando. I'm twitching already..." - Roger in Palm Springs Oh, we love a man in uniform! We've long covered the pheromone-induced allure of post-workout hookups, which usually involves steamy locker room scenes. But with his tight, faded blue jeans, it seems like Roger takes his act onto the streets, in the hot desert sun. Help, we're parched!

I think, definitely, the rises are getting lower. You're seeing more midriffs being shown. The company told analysts on the call that it expects pressure on its denim category as it learns from past missteps like leaning into fits that consumers weren't as interested in buying.

A group of Gen Zers 200 deep, snaked down Houston Street in hopes of shopping at a pop-up for Rogue, a Y2K-focused vintage retailer operated by the TikTok star. Inside, they browsed racks of vintage picks and vinyl records, but it was the charismatic, acid-green-haired Rogue, who was arguably the biggest draw. She posed for selfies with fans, as she does at all her stores, which are styled like deliberately dishevelled millennial bedrooms, complete with early-2000s ephemera like Britney Spears posters.

Millennials, welcome to your mom jeans era. I don't mean that you're obligated to wear the jeans you made fun of your own mother for wearing 20 years ago. Those are actually cool now! The uncool fit is those skinny jeans you practically slept in during the 2010s. Oh, and Gen Z, before you laugh, that combo of loose-leg light-denim jeans and white sneakers you love will date you soon enough.

It was an overwhelming first time at the bins, but also fascinating to see how they process donations and get everything into those big blue bins. While thrifting has always been popular, it seems to be having a major moment right now, especially among a certain demographic. Inside the outlet, also called "the bins," items are not organized by size or color on racks or shelves.

Fashion has a habit of building legend, and in the modern era, few brands are more revered by menswear fanatics than Double RL, often styled as RRL. Originally born out of Ralph Lauren's fascination with westernwear (the line is named after the designer's expansive Colorado ranch), the offshoot of Lauren's eponymous brand marked a significant divergence from the traditional tailored prep of the main line when it debuted in 1993.

Much has been mythologised about Laurel Canyon in the 1970s, the loose hillside network of rented houses, recording studios, informal salons and open doors in the hidden in the Hollywood Hills. Musicians, artists and writers moving between kitchens, gardens and living rooms - stars like Joni Mitchell, The Byrds, The Doors, Frank Zappa are said to have played songs for one another, partied, took drugs and slept with each other, living freely while writing the music we still listen to today.

Our all-time favorite shirt jacket Pros The best unstructured fit Durable Cons An investment Alex Mill's work jacket is one of our most beloved, and we're counting it as a shirt jacket. Why shouldn't we? It's made with garment-dyed denim, the chore coat's signature front pockets and all the swag in the world. It's an excellent replacement for a blazer in a more-casual-than-business work environment. And we would knowit's an Esquire editor favorite.

Black leggings might have formed the backbone of your off-duty wardrobe over the holidays, but if you just wore them for afternoon naps or, at a push, to get a takeaway coffee, you're missing their full potential. The street-style set doesn't use this item of clothing (purely) for exercise or work from home days. Instead, they wear black leggings not just on the streets but to fashion shows, letting their slimline second skins into circles more hallowed than, say, your sofa.

Every micro-trend is swiftly dubbed ("Italian summer nails" or some such), and the most elaborate looks are often confined to the wearer's own home - all dolled up and nowhere to go. But before some of today's beauty influencers were born (the late '80s and '90s, let's say), full beats were meant to be flaunted in public. In those years, no group burned brighter than the club kids, whose visual rebellion through makeup signaled a sense of freedom against the somber backdrop of the AIDS epidemic.
