the question of what it means to be American seems particularly pointed right now. As a nation, we’re in the middle of cheering for our athletes at the Olympics. Electing a president. And grappling with painful issues of violence and justice. As we went to press, the country was having a bit of an identity crisis: What do we stand for, and what do we believe? All of which is part of the reason that, for the fall fashion issue, we decided to turn 50 pages of this magazine over to a celebration of American women—how we dress, yes, but also how we live and who we are today. Starting on page 234, you’ll meet 55 women and hear them define themselves in powerfully unique terms. Of course, there were…

Pile. It. On. And in case you’re wondering, mixing metals is just fine. Try combos of gold and silver for a fresh, modern look.…

1 That the beach can meet the street Athleisure is nothing new to Cariocas (as Rio locals call themselves), who have been mixing beach and sport clothes with city-chic pieces for years. “I love that idea of sporty and sophisticated,” Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton artistic director of women’s collections, told me after his show at the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, below, a space-age building designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. 2 That color is everything As a native New Yorker, I tend toward hues like black and navy, but the saturated, surfinspired shades at Louis Vuitton, right, and on the beaches of Ipanema (that’s me, above, sipping coconut water) had me pining for a jolt. Not only does color say, “Hi, I’m here!” but it brightens your face and mood.…

Q I love the idea of mixing patterns, but I don’t know how. Any pointers? —Jayme, 25, San Francisco A Every time I wear pattern on pattern, I get that halfcocked look, like, Oh, you can wear that together! So I have a few policies for pulling it off. First, start with the same color tone, like navy stripes with navy polka dots. You can take it up a notch by adding one print that has multiple colors; this definitely requires some chutzpah. Or just go for it by mixing a green animal print with a pink one— same print but different colors. I’m fully wearing mismatched pajamainspired pants and tops this fall. My underline to all of this is that there are three prints you can wear with anything:…

Switch Up Your Red Lip The pro: Ma keup a r t i s t Viole t t e (@violette_fr), previous page, is the embodiment of French-girl beauty goals (read: messy hair, glowing skin, and a serious lip). The fall trend: “So many shows had very big lip statements—Prada, Gucci, Marni,” Violette says. “I wanted to do something in between bright red and dark plum.” How to do it: Grab two matte liquid lipsticks— a bright red and a deep cherry or black (yes, you read that correctly!). Exfoliate lips first. Apply lip balm and let it soak in while you’re doing your makeup, then lightly buff it off with a damp washcloth. Now use a red liner to outline your lips. “If you take the time to shape your…

1 You say: “I quit work a couple of years ago and immediately adopted a regular midday nap— anywhere from 45 minutes to one and a half hours—along with seven to nine hours of sleep at night. I also started doing yoga and eating more organic fruits and vegetables, and saw a noticeable difference in my skin after about two months. It was like I was aging backward! And I got far fewer pimples, sometimes none at all. Here’s the problem: I’ve gone back to work, and though I’ve kept up the healthy eating and yoga, I get only six hours of sleep a night and obviously don’t nap. And I’m breaking out again. It’s all about the sleep! Sleep cures all.” —Karina, 34, Emeryville, Calif. The experts say: “Genius…

this was my iconic teenage afternoon in the late ’80s: tanning in my backyard, listening to my Walkman, fingers orange from Planters Cheez Balls, Glamour on my lap. I didn’t have a brother, so who better to educate me about men than Jake, Glamour’s wise, funny columnist? His anonymity was half the fun; I envisioned him as River Phoenix with Matt Dillon’s eyebrows. He was one of my first loves. Fast-forward to today, and I—and my fellow Glamour editors—have to admit the concept of a faceless male advice columnist suddenly seems as dated as tanning oil and the cassette tape. (Cheez Balls are another story; still an awful loss.) It’s not that we don’t want to under stand men—it’s that men are no longer “other.” They’re in our tribes; we…

there are a lot of tough aspects to being President. But there are some perks too. Meeting extraordinary people across the country. Holding an office where you get to make a difference in the life of our nation. Air Force One. But perhaps the greatest unexpected gift of this job has been living above the store. For many years my life was consumed by long commutes —from my home in Chicago to Springfield, Illinois, as a state senator, and then to Washington, D.C., as a United States senator. It’s often meant I had to work even harder to be the kind of husband and father I want to be. But for the past seven and a half years, that commute has been reduced to 45 seconds—the time it takes to…

women rule. Figuratively (they don’t call her Queen Bey for nothing) and literally (a record number now serve in Congress). It’s shaping up to be the Year of the Woman at the Olympics too, with more female athletes competing than ever before in Rio, Zika be damned. Yes, women have come a long way over the past several decades. (So has this magazine: The September 1956 issue said, we regret to quote, “A woman can’t make a million dollars.” Oh, and this: “Ambition is an admirable thing in a young man.… But just try ambitious in front of the word woman. And what do you see? A grim, single-minded dame with a ride-hard compulsion.” Shivers.) Today young women are more educated, more racially diverse (with 43 percent now identifying as…

1 That September fresh-start feeling. 2 Carbs. We don’t won’t can’t contemplate a future without cake. 3 Actual paper books. Magazines too. ;) Oh, and handwritten notes. 4 Capital-C Choice. 5 That super-creepy insect you never want to meet IRL but shouldn’t be allowed to go extinct. 6 The beloved, possibly-in-shreds security object that got you through childhood. And (yeah, us too) adolescence. All right, also last night. 7 Jon Snow. 8 The Tinder-proof belief that true love and great sex can happen together. 9 Mick Jagger. Toni Morrison. Betty White. 10 That inalienable female right: excellent drugstore mascara. 11 Minis, hoodies, sparkly jewelry, and tiny tattoos. Fall 2016 and forever. 12 His-and-hers orgasms. Not necessarily in that order. 13 Places on the planet without Internet. 14 Brunch. (Back off,…

Courage, Captured When I first saw this photo of Ieshia Evans, a peaceful protester in Baton Rouge, Louisi ana, I knew instantly it would be iconic. All I could think about was what had to be going through her mind in that moment. She’s stoically standing there, unmoved by a policeman’s hand reaching for her body. Where did she find that kind of power? I like to think she was envisioning Rosa Parks, sitting in the front of the bus, knowing she’d get arrested, maybe brutalized—but confident her mission was bigger than her alone. Would I be courageous enough to do that? Initially, I wasn’t sure. But then I realized that Evans wasn’t alone. Our entire generation was standing with her, undivided, relentlessly dedicated to social justice. —Jenae Holloway, special…

i know this is our big fall fashion issue and it’s supposed to be all couture and fur-lined whatever, but what I’m seeing everywhere—and love—is patches (yep, the iron-on kind, on tops and bottoms and even bags). You don’t need to be Gucci’s Alessandro Michele or Rihanna to rock this trend (though both do); it’s the ultimate DIY move. I customized this Levi’s jacket myself with patches from Etsy and other sites. (The fight-thepatriarchy patch is from Lena Dunham’s collaboration with Rosehound Apparel.) Grab your iron and have fun! —Michelle Rose Sulcov, senior photo research editor Bow Down: It’s Bey Day Fifteen years after “Bootylicious,” I still work my jelly whenever Beyoncé and co.’s anthem comes on Spotify. So in honor of Queen Bey’s 35th b-day on September 4, I…

The Wide-Legged Jeans “I wasn’t sure how these would look on me, but I found the wide fit so versatile. I can be polished with heels and a blazer or casual with an easy top like this one.” —Sherica Maynard, 27, model On Maynard: Sonia Rykiel jeans. Demylee sweater. Mark Cross bag. Jennifer Fisher cuff. The Sequined Pants “My style is about balance: fitted with loose, casual with formal. These pants were shown with heels, but I love the idea of sneakers and a T-shirt with this dressier piece.” —Flavia Kelson, 34, fashion consultant On Kelson: Michael Kors Collection pants. T by Alexander Wang T-shirt. Adidas Originals sneakers. The Sparkly Slipdress “I’m on the bustier side, so adding a T-shirt under a slipdress is a cool way to style the…

1. First, Find Your Real Size I’ve never felt comfortable in my bras (my go-to one, above, is highly unsupportive). So when I meet lingerie expert Jenny Altman at an Aerie store in New York City, and she tells me I’m a 30C, not the 34B I thought I was, I have a cup identity crisis. To find your correct size, visit a department or lingerie store in person; many have fitters on site. Or download the ThirdLove app, which sizes you virtually. 2. Go Forth and Browse Altman says pay attention not only to size but to shape, style, and even seams. If your cup size fluctuates, four-part bras offer flexibility (the pieces are sewn together and each seam does a different job). For full coverage, choose a molded…

1 The Collaboration This month in droolworthy collabs: blogger Tina Craig, aka @bag snob, has teamed up with fine Parisian jeweler Nouvel Heritage. My lust: the “socialite pins,” named for Craig’s heroines. There’s the Carrie, for everyone’s favorite Bradshaw, and the Tallulah (Jodie Foster’s character in Bugsy Malone), right. —@lcchan Tina Craig x Nouvel Heritage pin ($6,500, nouvelheritage.com) 2 The Style Star We love us some Kendall and Gigi, but right now we’re all about Lily-Rose Depp, with her French-girl style (hello, bustier with jeans) and oddly mesmerizing face. When Depp, 17, isn’t posting flawless selfies on her Instagram (@lilyrose_depp), she’s nabbing Chanel campaigns and starring in films like Yoga Hosers (along side mom Vanessa Paradis and dad Johnny Depp), out this month. Elle est magnifique! —@noahsilverstein 3 The Indie…

i haven’t always loved my triangle-shaped hair. I haven’t even always loved my curls. Hair can be so wrapped up in your identity, and often curly hair on a woman means you’re different, zany, nonconforming, or, in my case, ethnically “other.” Up until my late twenties, I didn’t want to be those things; I wanted good hair. References to “good hair” abound in black culture, and more often than not those words mean straight; they mean soft and smooth. And while, yes, things are evolving hairwise, and showing your natural texture has become more accepted, it’s been a long ride. I mean, look around: No one on The Bachelor has curls. Kerry Washington wears her hair straight on Scandal. And when it comes to triangle hair—the flat-on-top, full-atthe-ends effect when…

Q I love the vibe of chokers and off-theshoulder tops, but my chest and shoulders are a mess—bumps, blotchiness, tan lines. Help! —Courtney D., 27 A I’m with you. The exposedshoulder look is cool and feminine, which I love, but it leaves you with a sizable swath of your chest exposed—skin that in my case may not be in top shape after a long summer. To keep this zone looking its best, I live by three things. Up first: Swipe on an at-home glycolic peel pad (like the SiO ones below) every morning. These pads keep my stubborn chest acne, caused by sweat and daily sunscreen, at bay. “They’ll exfoliate your skin without causing irritation,” New York City dermatologist Michelle Yagoda, M.D., tells me. My second must-have: a hydrating neck…

MOIRA WEIGEL SAYS: Not to get all academic, but I’d challenge the false binary here. We have this idea that either we can get our “needs met,” the way we would call an Uber, or we’re in an Important Relationship. There are lots of shades of gray in between. If you can find a friend who can get you off, that’s not nothing! That said, the very fact that you’re asking this question is a sign that you have some reservations about your current situation. Based on my research, a f--k buddy is likely to change how much you want to put into something new or how much enthusiasm you’ll bring to a new partner. If a relationship is what you really want, it may be time to move on.…

Alessia Cara first came on our radar with her track “Here,” the story of a sober wallflower at a raging party. Now 20, she isn’t just a pop star— she’s a pop activist: Cara has pledged to always go makeup- free when she performs “Scars to Your Beautiful,” her anthem for anyone who’s felt uncomfortable in their skin. The video features powerful cameos from, among others, cancer survivors and transgender people challenging beauty standards. Cara, on tour now, offers advice for charting your own course: Dive into what makes you uncomfortable. “I started posting You-Tube videos when I was 13, solely for the purpose of getting over my fear of singing in front of people. My cover of The Neighbourhood’s ‘Sweater Weather’ took off—it’s what got me discovered.” Use your…

bella Hadid is laughing—something the model, who’s usually so serious in photos, actually does a lot. “Don’t watch,” the 19-year-old shouts to the Glamour crew packing up the remains of her photo shoot. “It’ll be better for everyone!” Then, as Hadid’s favorite song, “Stray Cat Strut,” begins, she lets loose—lip-synching the lyrics “Wild stray cat, you’re a real gone guy.” In this moment Hadid is not a member of the Balmain army or of Givenchy’s gang. She’s just a “punk kid” fake-singing a 1980s rock song. She’s herself. It’s the perfect way to capture the supermodel revolution that’s now under way: Models, once pretty girls who silently walked the runway, are now bona fide personalities driving the cultural zeitgeist forward, one social media post at a time. Hadid, a prime…

Bags! Bags! Bags! Wear the season’s rich burgundy numbers with everything—editor suggestions on the next pages!…

it’s the day of the CFDA Awards, the fashion Oscars. Brandon Maxwell is nominated for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear and—spoiler alert!—will go on to win, and his nerves are getting the best of him. “I’ve been sick about it,” he says, sitting on the terrace of a midtown Manhattan hotel room where he and his date, Naomi Campbell, are prepping for the big event. “I’ll probably go home and eat a cheeseburger after. I’m not a partier.” But don’t let the butterflies fool you. Maxwell, 31, is one of the most in-demand people in fashion today. He’s Lady Gaga’s fashion director (and BFF), juggling styling gigs with running his label, which in only two seasons has landed on Iman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Karlie Kloss, to name a few. And…

We’re two minutes into pedicures at Tenoverten in New York City when my guest Kilee Hughes looks at her feet and says, “I come from a line of giants.” I was treating Hughes, founder of her own public relations agency, Six One, to a soak and polish after hearing through the grapevine that she wears an above- average shoe size. “My mother wears a 14, my sister a 13, and I’m a 12—it’s an ongoing fight to find shoes that don’t make my feet look like skis,” she says, glancing down at the water. “Or boats!” It’s not just size 12–plus shoppers like Hughes who struggle to find stylish shoes; women with wide, narrow, and size 5 or smaller feet have similar issues. Belong to one of those categories? Here’s…

when I was growing up, I was just as likely to be found in a tree as playing with dolls. My main after-school activities were fishing, ball sports of any kind, and mountain biking; my main companions, my older brother and his daredevil friends. And while I now prefer dresses to dirty jeans, I’ll forever be drawn to that tomboy sensibility. Luckily for like-minded women everywhere, the ungirly aesthetic is filtering into the beauty world. Want a break from the super-femme stuff? Focus on these trends: the scrubbed-clean skin, messy-hair look. Get it with (1) Dior Dreamskin Cushion ($82, dior.com), a tinted serum that doesn’t hide your freckles; (7) Nars Multiple Duo in Copacabana/Sidari Beach ($39, sephora.com) for glow; (8) Givenchy Mister Brow Filler ($27, sephora.com) for boyish brows; and…

rainbow-hued food is all over Pinterest and Instagram—mostly, though, in the relatively unhealthy form of ROYGBIV bagels and pretty tie-dye lattes (yes; a thing). But there are health benefits of a real fruit- and-veggie-based rainbow meal, even more than you probably know. Fresh produce is home to more than 25,000 health- boosting chemicals called phytonutrients (which are also the source of those bold colors). And not only do you get perks from each type of produce—green veggies may help prevent cancer, blue and purple varieties can boost the good bacteria in your gut, red guys can contribute to bone health— but research shows that you get even more of the benefits if you eat fruits or veggies together. Adding avocado or other heart-healthy fats to vegetables also helps your body…

twenty-three years ago, at the same moment, I met the two most important men in my life. They were college seniors and close friends, sitting side by side. “I want you to meet Jay and Brendan,” a friend said. “You’ll love them.” A solid prediction. I did love them. I still do. Light poured through the windows of the fraternity house in upstate New York, where the boys lived like slobs at Castle Black. Being in there during the day was like walking through a haunted mansion with the lights on. Is that a sandwich on the floor? A tiny poultry bone? Jay, Brendan, and their friends were neither famous jocks nor, blessedly, college predators. I was rehabbing myself off an addiction to other kinds of boys. Vanity cases. Unfunny,…

nine years ago I was saddled with a dilemma. My now-wife, Alina, and I wanted to level-up our relationship, but there was a problem. One of us was broke, and that one of us was me. As a struggling comedian, I could barely pay my rent, and I certainly couldn’t afford a proper engagement ring. The conventional wisdom is that a man should spend at least three months’ salary on a ring (to show how much he loves her!). But I was living gig to gig, with oceans of time between paychecks. Three months’ salary for me could be…nothing. “I know you don’t have a lot of money,” Alina would say, acknowledging the situation. “But my coworker has this gorgeous engagement ring…. Never mind, it’s fine.” It was definitely not…

fact: More women watch the Super Bowl every year than the Oscars. So to kick off football season, Glamour caught up with some of the women who make it all happen, from the multimillion-dollar deals to the culture-shifting halftime shows (“Formation,” anyone?). Steal their advice for staying calm under pressure, standing up to haters, and always being ready for game day. The Pioneer: Sonia Ruef Assistant athletic trainer for the Pittsburgh Steelers On breaking barriers: When Ruef, 32, landed her gig in 2011, she became the only female athletic trainer in the NFL (and just the second one in league history); it’s her job to help prevent and treat injuries. Since then, three other teams have hired female athletic trainers. “It’s about time!” she says. “Teams weren’t sure it could…
