142. A Gender Pay Gap Tank and Horny Shoes
I'm coming out of my year-long creative black hole.
This is EVERY BODY GETS DRESSED’s weekly edit of the only fashion newness, sales, and restocks worth your attention.
Every morning, I refresh Tory Burch’s New Arrivals page, hoping I’ll see the low-slung, belt-loop skirts from the Spring runway. No luck yet. Today, it was a treat nonetheless: a silk organza embroidered tank with its matching skirt, a dip-dye tan polo that pairs perfectly with this cream denim skirt, and a shimmery mesh polo dress. Tory collectors: they’ve also just launched the Ella Twist, a reversible tote.
Baserange launched their Summer 2026 collection. The key seasonal colors you’ll find across their classic Vein and Omato tees are inky blue and cool greige. (I size up in these.) New styles like the silk satin skirt-over-pants and this crinkle linen square dress stand out. Among the pared-back crisp cotton pieces, you’ll find an outlier: a beige tank top with a graph printed on the front plotting mothers’ post-childbirth earnings trajectory vs. fathers. They called it the Unseen tank. Style it sans bra.
I popped into COS yesterday and found some really strong outerwear (COS always does transitional pieces well). You will love this trench coat if you’re looking for a lightweight one. It isn’t made of classic thick gabardine but a light cotton poplin. I also tried a short version and liked that it wasn’t excessively oversized. There’s also a leather version, but I wouldn’t spend $1,000 on a COS leather jacket when you can find a Nour Hammour one for the same price (there are quite a few on sale here on Net-a-Porter and here on SSENSE). I also found this checked blazer interesting. Aside from outerwear, some good layering tops: I like this on top of this, and this one, which takes away the guesswork. I’d size up in COS T-shirts, especially if you have a large bust. My brain was still color-focused from writing this Sunday’s long letter, so this pistachio green mohair knit drew me in.
Emme Parsons’ Summer 2026 is here (on pre-order, shipping this month). It introduces the Isabel, a kitten heel with a thin strap across the vent. I love it in espresso embossed lizard and would style it with a midi skirt and sheer knee-highs. There’s also a woven ballet flat. This collection’s pop of color is a cerulean blue seen across their suede Mary Janes and best-selling Bari sandals.
As a teen in Paris, I would ask for Repetto Cendrillon ballet flats for my birthday. They were €180 a pair at the time (20 years ago). I’m about to burst your Paris shopping list bubble. I respect the brand’s heritage and that they are a ‘true dance shoe for the city’, but I think they’re awful. I can’t imagine that anyone who’s written a positive review about them has worn them for more than two weeks or gotten caught in the rain. They are too flat, not durable, and look bruised very quickly. Granted, some actively aim for this look. I’ve steered clear of ballet shoes for the last two decades because of them, until I recently agreed to give Margaux’s shoes a go. I chose the Phoebe in brown zebra suede. The option of narrow, medium, or wide width should be the norm, but because it is so rare, I felt intimidated. I went with medium width and a 37, my true size, and the fit is perfect. While they aren’t exactly ballet flats (that would be the 1,227 five-star-review Demi), the ones I received are everything the Repettos weren’t: cushioned, comfortable, holding my foot perfectly. I’ve never met an elastic band that didn’t strangle my instep until this one. I will be buying more pairs and have already texted my all-women family group chat about making Margaux their go-to flat shoes.
FFORME’s latest collection has landed on Net-a-Porter. I also spotted last-spring FFORME among The Outnet’s New In, including the excellent Yancy shirt, Rio asymmetric midi skirt, and Fish oversized jacket. All under $500. Stock won’t last.
If you detest the stone-and-ink palette and want a respite from the CBK visuals, get yourself acquainted with Madrid-based Maria de la Orden. Maximalists will appreciate the crushed-raspberry striped jumpsuit, the Mao-collar checked coat, and the daisy-embroidered co-ord from their latest drop. Prices average $250, too. The lore escapes me, but my Spanish friends discuss their chic founder at every dinner.
Attersee has restocked the Cecily jacket, the silhouette likely responsible for putting the brand on your radar in the first place. A striking blazer that sits off the shoulder with a boning-supported structured silhouette (and a silk lining!! Regular readers know I’m a goner for a silk lining.) The ivory colorway is a beautiful bridal option (DM me if you want me to suggest bottom options to pair this with). From their more recent arrivals, I liked this utilitarian silk-nylon skirt.
Maria McManus showed one of my favorite Spring 2026 collections, so I was excited when it landed this week. The Irish designer’s looks are feminine and urban:
Uniqlo x JW Anderson Spring/Summer 2026 is here, and there’s a similar checked cropped shirt for even less ($39).
Ahead of their 10-year anniversary, La Ligne collaborated with model Lily Aldridge, who starred in the label’s first-ever campaign, on a six-piece collection. The campaign was shot at Blackberry Farm, which is oddly elusive to me, as a European. A portion of sales from the collection will go to Mother To Mother, a Nashville-based nonprofit supporting low-income families.
Net-a-Porter added Jude to their designer roster. The Paris-based shoe brand that launched less than 18 months ago has already been spotted on the likes of Ayo Edibiri, Dakota Johnson, Emma Stone, and, as of yesterday, Kendall Jenner on the cover of Vogue France. I notice two things: First, they make the horniest shoes I’ve seen in a long time. The Date pump is outrageously sexy but also somehow seems sturdy, like I wouldn’t twist my ankle wearing them. As does the Kiss pump. Second, for a brand with this PR caché, its prices are lower than other shoe brands en vogue. I’ve checked Le Monde Béryl, Emme Parsons, Neous, and Jamie Haller, and similar pumps cost 15-40% more. Far be it from me to call them affordable, though.
Heaven Mayhem launched their first-ever ring collection: five timeless designs in gold and silver. I love that they’re intended to be worn as midi or pinky rings, and I have my eyes on this one as I am partial to a red stone. Prices range from $130 to $180. Some of you have been waiting for them to restock their laptop covers; they are now on preorder.
Alex Mill launched its Spring collection seconds ago. I’m curious to see how reviews for this new cotton rollneck will stack up against J.Crew’s viral one.
If you originally subscribed to this newsletter, not for the shopping, but for the long—sometimes deeply personal—reads about style I used to send on Sundays: they’re back! I crawled out of the creative dark hole I was in last year. In case you missed them, these are the last three Sunday sends:
Thank you so much for reading and supporting Every Body Gets Dressed.

You can tell you are truly in flow state writing these. Another utterly delectable and superbly written newsletter (as per usual). I've been dying to try Margaux's wide-fit shoes for a while now, and this is the push I needed! I also love the idea of horny shoes—it's too good.
I love reading your writting 🩷 I'm delighted with the Baserange models; I can finally see the clothes on real people 💪🏼 I have a surplus of shoes that I'm selling on Vestaire right now, but I was so impressed with the Mode suede pumps that I decided to buy them, and I'm thrilled! Simple, yet different, so I'm joining the Jude fan club 🫶🏼 I'm also in the same waiting club when it comes to Tory Burch skirts 🧐
