📰 Finance Bros Rejoice: Polo Ralph Lauren's Quarter-Zip Was Fashion Hottest Product of Q4 2025 ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Surpassing fashion industry favorites like Chloé's Paddington Bag and Saint Laurent's Vendôme Slingback Pumps , Polo Ralph Lauren's Cable-Knit Quarter-Zip took the top spot as fashion's hottest product in Q4, according to The Lyst Index Q4 2025 Report (which covers October through December). Lyst observed a 75% increase in demand quarter-over-quarter for the preppy style, which is a classic uniform staple of the "finance bro," or the modern-day Yuppies commonly found roaming New York City's financial district in zip-up vests and loafers. Polo Ralph Lauren's quarter-zip emerging as a must-have item signals a larger industry shift towards conservatism, which Lyst calls "borecore."

📰 Copenhagen Fashion Week Showgoers Got Playful With Red Accessories ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Despite NYFW still being more than a week away, the Fall 2026 ready-to-wear shows are officially underway, and that means team Fashionista is in full-on trendspotting mode. As Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) came to a close, we turned our attention to the runways and the streets alike, looking out for the styles that will set the tone for the rest of the season as we head into the "Big Four" fashion cities. And if CPHFW is any indication, we already have a winner when it comes to the trendiest street style color choice: bits of bright red. Snippets of scarlet.
