It's one of the few sporting events that attendees still tend to dress up for; while many opt to put their own spin on the famous 'Wimbledon whites' dress code (which strictly applies to players on court), others will choose to embrace colour in playful summer dresses, or go for a more sport-luxe approach in carefully selected separates.

How Michelle Cordeiro Grant went from bras to beverage with Gorgie.
When Michelle Cordeiro Grant launched Gorgie, the better-for-you energy drink with wellness benefits and aesthetic appeal, she wasn't just cracking open a can. She was cracking open an entire category. The energy industry, as we knew it, had long been dominated by masculine-coded players like Red Bull and Monster. 'I look for billion-dollar categories where legacy brands still have the lion's share, but the consumer, especially women, is being overlooked,' she says. 'That's where I build.' Launched in January 2023, Gorgie has already raised $37M in funding, including a $24.5M Series A, and has expanded to more than 1,900 Target stores nationwide. But the brand's ambitions stretch far beyond functionality. Earlier this summer, it debuted a swimwear line called the 'Cabana Collection,' at Miami Swim Week, which was so successful it was followed by invitations to appear at swim shows in Hawaii, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Seattle. 'Beverage, but make it fashion' isn't just a clever tagline: it's a brand-building playbook. Before Gorgie, Grant founded Lively, the lingerie-meets-athleisure brand that redefined intimates for a new generation. (Lively was subsequently acquired by Japanese brand Wacoal for $105M in 2019.) 'I remember trying to buy a so-called 'better-for-you' energy drink at Whole Foods, and they told me it didn't meet their ingredient standards,' Grant says. 'That's when it clicked. There was a gap between what was being marketed as healthy and what truly met wellness standards. That was the opportunity.' 'But this wasn't just a drink,' she asserts. 'It was a massive category waiting to be redefined.' Grant landed on a clear white space: a wellness-forward, women-first energy drink that can be dual gender. (Grant didn't even drink energy drinks regularly; just Red Bull vodkas in her twenties and a lot of coffee.) Gorgie's evolution started on social. Step one: open polls on Instagram. Step two: TikTok conversations about flavors and names. The first sample dropped in August 2022. By Labor Day weekend, Gorgie had earned 100,000 likes. From day one, Grant treated Gorgie like a fashion brand. 'I made stickers that said 'Gorgie Girls of LA,' printed mini postcards, and handed them out before we had a single can,' she says. 'Your brand should feel like it's already in the world, even before it physically exists.' Her branding philosophy is rooted in emotional connection. 'If you can create emotional sparks – through stickers, content, community – your brand becomes something people want to belong to.' Gorgie's aesthetic is loud, nostalgic and feminine. Its cans feature real people instead of fruit: community members who have become flavor icons. 'I drew it on a napkin. I said, this is the new Instagram. Let's put our people on the can,' Grant says. 'It's human. It's connection.' Gorgie has been spotted at Erewhon, New York Fashion Week, Art Basel, and yes —boardrooms. 'Even finance bros are sipping Gorgie,' she laughs. Red Bull flew so that Gorgie can soar. And the numbers back it up: In 2024, Gorgie was the #1 fastest-growing energy brand in the U.S. natural channel, and drove over 1.6 billion organic social impressions. It contributed more than 20% growth to the category at one national retailer and 45%+ at another. It even became Erewhon's first-ever energy smoothie. Flavor-wise, Watermelon is the national bestseller, while Pink Lemonade leads at Target. Grant's brand instinct is deeply personal. Growing up in a small Pennsylvania town as the only Indian family, she remembers how branding helped her feel included (or rather, excluded). 'Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Nautica, they helped me feel like I belonged,' she says. 'But they didn't always look like me.' That memory now drives her to build brands that feel aspirational and accessible. 'I want to create brands that give you the feeling of Barneys, Net-a-Porter, Bergdorf's, Bendel's, but you could actually afford them,' she says. 'Lively was a $35 bra. Gorgie is a $2.99 can. But they both make you feel something.' Her approach to entrepreneurship blends instinct and information. She lives by the mantra 'progress over perfection' and swears by 'living in beta.' 'There shouldn't be a playbook. Follow your gut. Follow curiosity. Let the data give you butterflies,' she says. 'We launched samples at Art Basel. I blind taste-tested Gorgie at soccer fields. That's living in beta.' She also leans on the 80-20 rule. '80% of your business should be grounded in what works: your price point, ops, P&L,' she explains. 'The other 20%? That's where you experiment, go community-first, and build emotion.' Her top advice to other founders: build a personal board of directors. 'I wrote down everything I was terrified of — distribution, fulfillment, retail — and found people who knew more than me,' she says. 'Some of my mentors are men, because beverage, like fashion 20 years ago, is still a male-dominated space.' Now, as Gorgie evolves into a full lifestyle brand, complete with community merch, a courtside-inspired collection, a branded print magazine, and the Club Gorgie app, Grant is proving that even the most saturated categories still have room for reinvention. 'There are so many billion-dollar industries still waiting for someone to shake them up,' she says. 'I'm just here to make sure women are no longer an afterthought."

11 Best Flared Leggings for Travel Days, According to Our Editors
'What does everyone wear on the plane?' a colleague recently asked in the office. Before I had a chance to recommend our best leggings for flight days, she continued: 'Don't say leggings. They're comfy, but personally I think they're too casual to wear outside the gym.' Such is the plight of the fashion-forward traveler. How does one balance feeling genuinely comfortable in an economy seat without dressing like they're about to settle in for the night or got lost on the way to a HIIT class? Flared leggings might be the answer. While skinny jeans and bodycon dresses have long been banished to the back of the closet, athleisure has only more recently embraced the joys of flowier fabrics. Look now and you'll see stylish types opting for loose, stretchy flares everywhere from reformer Pilates class to brunch and airport lounges alike. These newer, breezier cuts range from full-flowing palazzo pants to more sleek, compressive kick flares in fabrics ranging from stretchy spandex to ultra-soft cotton. They're different enough from regular leggings to shake off any 'gym gear' associations, while retaining the stretchy waistbands and breathable fabrics that are a must-have for flight days. That means they're equal parts versatile and comfortable, and a bit smarter than wearing loungewear out of the house. Both the US and UK Traveler teams tested 11 of the best pairs of wide-leg leggings from top brands such as Lululemon, Adanola, Tala, and Alo Yoga. We hunted for buttery-soft, relaxed fits that looked flattering and felt comfortable on the move, with waistbands that wouldn't roll down in a plane seat. The pairs below made the cut.

Corrected error in long-lost medieval saga suggests that its hero fought wolves, not elves
Lesser known than some other beloved tales of larger-than-life heroes such as Gilgamesh, Beowulf and King Arthur, the Song of Wade is a case study in what happens when stories aren't written down. The epic was once widely known throughout medieval and Renaissance England — so popular that it was mentioned twice by Chaucer — but today it is mostly forgotten. Only a few phrases survive, and new research is showing how, when so little of a story is preserved, changes in a word or two can alter the entire tale. The Song of Wade originated in the 12th century, and its hero battled monsters — or so scholars once thought. The only known text was found nearly 130 years ago in a 13th- century Latin sermon, which quoted a bit of the saga in Middle English. In the excerpt, the word 'ylues' was originally translated as 'elves,' suggesting that Wade's long-lost saga was teeming with supernatural creatures. Researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK have challenged that interpretation. They proposed that the word's meaning was mangled by a scribe's transcription error, which changed a 'w' to a 'y.' 'Elves' is actually 'wolves,' and the term was allegorical, referring to dangerous men, according to the analysis. Another word in the excerpt, translated as 'sprites,' should instead be 'sea snakes,' moving the story even farther away from the realm of the supernatural, the researchers reported July 15 in The Review of English Studies. This new reading revises not only the phrases quoted in the sermon, but also the entire Song of Wade, centering the hero amid worldly dangers rather than mythical beasts. It overturns the picture of Wade as a literary twin to Beowulf, legendary slayer of the warrior-eating monster Grendel, said study coauthor Dr. Seb Falk, a researcher of science history and a fellow at Cambridge's Girton College. 'He was more like a hero of chivalric romance (a literary genre celebrating knights, codes of honor and romantic love) like Sir Launcelot or Sir Gawain,' Falk told CNN in an email. For hundreds of years, historians and literary experts have argued over why Chaucer would have mentioned the Song of Wade in his chivalric works. Recasting Wade as a courtly hero rather than a monster slayer makes Wade's appearance in Chaucer's writing a better fit and could help to uncover previously hidden meanings in those literary references, the authors wrote. The new study is the first to analyze the Song of Wade excerpt alongside the entirety of the Latin sermon that quotes it, said study coauthor Dr. James Wade, an associate professor of English Literature at Girton College. (The surname 'Wade' was relatively common in medieval England, and while Wade the researcher could not confirm a family connection to the storied hero, a link 'isn't impossible,' he told CNN in an email.) In fact, it was the context of the sermon that led the researchers to the discovery that the fragment in English had been misinterpreted, Wade said. The sermon was about humility, and it warned that some people 'are wolves, such as powerful tyrants' who take 'by any means.' There are other allusions to unfavorable animal traits in humans. As originally translated, the Song of Wade excerpt read: 'Some are elves and some are adders; some are sprites that dwell by waters: there is no man, but Hildebrand (Wade's father) only.' For centuries, scholars have struggled to make sense of why references to 'elves' and 'sprites' were included in a sermon about humility. According to the new translation, the excerpt reads: 'Some are wolves and some are adders; some are sea-snakes that dwell by the water. There is no man at all but Hildebrand.' Reinterpreted this way, the quoted phrases align more closely with the overall message of the sermon and redefine the genre of the story. 'We realised that taking the fragment together with its context would allow us not only to completely reinterpret the Wade legend, but also to reshape our understanding of how stories were told and retold in different cultural contexts, including religious contexts,' Wade said. The long-standing difficulties in interpreting the excerpt are a reminder that paleography — the study of handwritten documents — 'is not always an exact or precise science,' said Dr. Stephanie Trigg, Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor of English Literature at the University of Melbourne in Australia, 'especially in the transmission of English and other vernacular texts without the standardised spelling and abbreviations of Latin.' Focusing on the sermon is also important because this type of allusion to a popular epic was highly unusual, Trigg, who was not involved in the research, told CNN in an email. 'The authors are right to draw attention to the way the sermon seems to be quoting medieval popular culture: this is not all that common,' Trigg said. 'It helps disturb some traditional views about medieval piety.' When the preacher used the Song of Wade in his sermon, it was clear that he expected his audience to accept the reference 'as a recognisable element of popular culture: a meme,' Falk said. 'By studying this sermon in depth we get a wonderful insight into the resonances that such popular literature had across culture.' This new perspective on Wade's saga doesn't mean that it was based exclusively in realism. While there are no other known excerpts of the Song of Wade, references to Wade in texts spanning centuries offer details fantastic enough to delight fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic 'Lord of the Rings.' 'In one romance text, it's said that (Wade) slays a dragon,' Falk said. 'There is local folklore in Yorkshire, recorded by John Leland in the 1530s, that he was of gigantic stature.' Other texts stated that Wade's father was a giant and that his mother was a mermaid, he added. In fact, chivalric romance from this period frequently incorporated elements of fantasy, Trigg said. In the chivalric literary tradition, 'romances often draw on mythological creatures and the supernatural,' and the distinction between chivalric romances and mythology 'is not always rigorously made in medieval literature,' she added. Still, aligning the Song of Wade more closely with medieval romances clears up long-standing confusion over allusions to Wade by Geoffrey Chaucer, during scenes of courtly intrigue in 'Merchant's Tale' and 'Troilus and Criseyde.'

'Chaucer referring to a Beowulf-like 'dark-age' warrior in these moments is weird and confusing,' Falk said. 'The idea that Chaucer is referring to a hero of medieval romance makes a lot more sense.' While the Song of Wade has faded into obscurity, its appearance in the medieval sermon and in Chaucer's work hints that for centuries the legend was a staple of popular culture in medieval England, even though there was no definitive text preserving the entire tale. As its popularity waned, much of it vanished for good. 'By the eighteenth century there were no known surviving texts and nobody seemed to know the story,' Wade said. 'Part of the enduring allure is the idea of something that was once part of common knowledge suddenly becoming 'lost.''
