Jennifer Lopez Finds a Fresh Summer Maxi Skirt
Lopez is no stranger to a good maxi skirt (both on and off the red carpet) and it's no wonder why, given the piece is an easy, flowy summer staple. But her latest choice proved to be quite chic. Lopez opted for a khaki Christian Dior style that features an asymmetric hemline, smart pleating, and a thick laced-up waistline. It's like half skirt, half corset: Do we call it a skorset?
J.Lo has always loved a good maxi skirt
Whatever we name the hybrid, one thing is for sure: It certainly strikes the right balance of dressy and structured, yet effortless. Still, this being a J.Lo outfit, some diva-worthy accessories were in order, like a giant pair of aviator shades and stacks of expensive-looking gold jewelry. She also gets bonus points for her 'Jennifer' plaque necklace—we love a custom piece!—and matching gold flip-flops. Sure, she could have rocked the skorset and called it a day, but why stop there?

5 dirtiest spots in hotel rooms: What experts say to do at check-in
Hotel rooms may look sparkling clean when you first arrive – but surprising levels of bacteria and viruses can be lurking in overlooked places. Beyond the usual suspects such as sinks and toilets, common "touchpoints" like remotes and light switches are also crawling with germs, studies say. Hotel rooms had up to 10 times more bacteria – including fecal strains – than are allowed in hospitals, a University of Houston study found. The staff at hotels often spend just 30 minutes tidying and cleaning each room. They may skip decorative items entirely, Enza Laterrenia, head of housekeeping at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel in Italy, told Travel & Leisure. Here's a list of spots that can be teeming with germs, experts warn — and the steps you should take as soon as you arrive in your hotel room. "Having worked in hotels, the first thing I fling off to a far corner of the room are decorative pillows and any decorative runner that goes along the foot of the bed," Maria Diego, a San Diego, California-based travel adviser, told the travel magazine. "These never get washed." Duvet covers can also be a collecting place for germs. "Most hotels do not wash the big duvet. They only wash the sheets," a former hotel staffer noted on Reddit last year. Diego said she is also cautious about switches, remote controls, phones and other major touchpoints. Los Angeles travel adviser Rani Cheema said hotel room phones disgust her the most. "I am grossed out by the receiver," Cheema said. "No one's cleaning that." Carpets are another culprit. Many high-end hotels are now swapping them out for flooring or area rugs, according to Cheema. Hotel bathrooms are even dirtier than airplanes, studies have found – especially the countertops. But the tub is also infested with germs, harboring up to 40 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, according to a 2023 investigation by "I also won't take a bath in a hotel unless it's a super-luxe five-star hotel, and only if it's a non-jet bathtub," Diego said. Jetted tubs can harbor more bacteria and aren't always disinfected fully, according to experts. Ceiling fans, curtain rods, shower heads and other such spots are often neglected, according to Laterrenia of Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel. LaDell Carter, founder of Maryland-based Royal Expression Travels, said she looks out for other red flags. "When I enter a room and notice a dusty charging port next to the bed or a bedside lamp caked in residue, that tells me the basics may have been done, but the details were missed," Carter told Fox News Digital. Housekeeping staff have been found to wipe down glassware between guests' stays – not replace it, according to reports. "Personally, I never use mugs or glasses in the room without rinsing them out first," Carter said. "I usually boil water in the kettle and give each item a thorough rinse." "It's not about fear, it's about good habits," she added. Ice buckets should have a liner. The ice bucket could be the next breeding ground. During one norovirus outbreak at a hotel, guests vomited in ice buckets, contributing to the spread, Brian Labus, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, told Travel and Leisure last year. Ice buckets should have a liner, experts say. Otherwise, consider packing your own drinkware and a small cooler with ice. If anything feels "off," alert the front desk staff, Carter recommended. The staff can have the room cleaned again or move you to another room.

Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner Didn't Send Justin the Dress Code Memo
It was a a star-studded evening in West Hollywood, where Justin Bieber celebrated the recent launch of his new album, Swag. In attendance, of course, was his wife Hailey Bieber and their close friend Kendall Jenner—both aligning on a dual dress code for the evening. Justin, meanwhile, stuck to his own color-popping aesthetic. The Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner schools of style follow a similar lexicon on most occasions—think '90s-esque but elevated basics, sleek tailoring, and luxe details (usually that means a bag from The Row or some itty-bitty sunglasses). Whether they're together on the slopes in Aspen wrapping up in vintage faux furs or hitting up Sushi Park for girls night in their shared closet staples, Bieber and Jenner keep 'quiet luxury' as their baseline with little sartorial twists here and there. Yesterday evening proving no different. Hailey was photographed in a sculpted black tank top with a low back, tailored black pants, and a small black boxy bag. The Rhode founder donned some small black oval sunglasses, and a pair of apple green, barely there sandals with red detailing on the toe post. Next to her, Justin followed his usual acidic L.A. boy vibe, wearing a rolled up white beanie hat, pale pink goggle sunglasses, a candy pink hoodie from his streetwear brand SKYLRK, gray wash jean shorts, with customizable SKYLRK slides in neon yellow and ecru, paired with slime green socks. If you can see a teeny bit of sartorial continuation between the couple with their green-toned footwear, I'm with you. It's love.

10 Things to Never Wear on a European Summer Trip and What to Pack Instead, According to a Travel Writer
Packing for a European summer vacation is an art in itself. There's a fine line between staying comfortable and blending in, and the right choices can help you feel both confident and appropriately dressed wherever your adventures take you. My recent trip to Paris was the perfect example. Despite the scorching summer temperatures, my mom, sister, and I fully immersed ourselves in everything the city has to offer: lingering at sidewalk cafés, exploring museums, and strolling along the Seine. But one of my favorite activities was simply people-watching. Paris is known as one of the fashion capitals of the world, and I loved admiring the locals' style, often a curated mix of classic pieces, airy fabrics, and minimalist accessories. The result? Effortlessly stylish looks that felt both polished and entirely unfussy. I was in awe of how put-together everyone managed to look despite the sweltering heat. Ahead, I'm breaking down the most common mistakes travelers make when packing for a summer trip to Europe—and what to bring instead, based on my own experience and observations of stylish locals. Think breathable sandals, spacious crossbody bags, and comfortable wide-leg pants. Best of all, most clock in at under $50 and are all available at Amazon. Denim can feel stiff and restrictive, especially during Europe's scorching summer months. With this in mind, consider leaving those heavy cutoffs at home. Instead, opt for breezy linen shorts, which won't weigh you down or cling in the heat. This Amazon pick is crafted from a blend of lightweight linen and soft cotton, resulting in a breezy, relaxed silhouette that's perfect for warm days. The elastic waist and adjustable drawcord make it easy to get a comfortable, custom fit without feeling restrictive. It also comes in eight colors and a wide range of sizes, so there's truly something for everyone. Pair it with a simple tank or tee and your favorite sandals or sneakers (more on those later), and you've got an effortlessly stylish summer outfit ready to go. Not only can a bulky backpack feel uncomfortable after a long day of exploring, but it also tends to signal "tourist" in Europe's many crowded markets, museums, and public transit systems. Simultaneously lighten your load and elevate your look with this sleek crossbody bag from Peacocktion. It's roomy enough to hold all of your daily essentials and features over 20 pockets, card slots, and zippered compartments to keep you organized. Meanwhile, the RFID-blocking technology helps protect your belongings and personal information from digital theft. The detachable straps allow you to wear it several ways, but wearing it crossbody helps keep your belongings extra secure in busy areas where pickpocketing is common. The supple vegan leather construction easily passes for the real thing, and the under-$30 price tag is just the icing on the cake. Thick, heavy skirts and dresses (especially those with bulky pleats and multiple layers) can feel stifling in the summer heat. Skip the bulk altogether by opting for breezy maxi dresses—bonus points if they have slits for extra breathing room—instead. They'll keep you cool, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish for any occasion, from strolling the cobblestone streets of Florence to sunset boat rides around the Seine. While options abound, we're partial to this popular pick from Huskary, which has earned over 15,000 five-star ratings at Amazon. With its V-neckline, short sleeves, and relaxed fit (complete with side slits), it's easy to slip on and stay comfortable from morning to night. The lightweight, flowy fabric will keep you cool even on the hottest afternoons, and the range of prints and solid colors makes it easy to find one that matches your style. While I love a good skinny jean (call me old-school, but I stand by them!), they're not ideal for warmer weather. That's because they tend to stick to the skin and can be nearly impossible to peel off after a long, sweaty day. Avoid that struggle altogether by opting for a pair of pleated wide-leg pants like this pair from Made By Johnny. Lightweight and airy, they're as comfortable as your favorite sweatpants or leggings yet still polished enough for city strolls, dinners out, or long travel days. The oversized, flowy fit also allows for breathability, helping air circulate and keeping you cool. Although you can't go wrong with any of the 23 hues, sticking to neutral colors makes them even more versatile. They're easy to wear day or night, pair effortlessly with anything in your suitcase, and are especially handy if you're short on packing space. Comfy, casual clothing is a must for a European summer. Still, there's a fine line between casual and too casual—and most of the time, logo-branded or graphic tees fall into the latter category. With that in mind, it's smart to keep things simple, which is why solid, high-quality tees tend to be the best choice. The solid hues are easy to mix and match and can be dressed up or down depending on the day's plans. These fan-favorite tees also have a UPF rating of 50+, meaning they block harmful UVA and UVB rays to help protect your skin during long days out exploring. Flip-flops are practically synonymous with summer, but they're not exactly stylish—or practical—when it comes to sightseeing in major European cities like Paris, Rome, or Lisbon, all known for their charming (but tricky) cobblestone streets and walkable neighborhoods. That said, you don't have to ditch the open-toe design altogether; instead, opt for supportive leather slides that provide comfort and stability. The Steve Madden Mayven slides are stylish, comfortable, and easy to slip on and off, making them a far better choice for urban adventures. We'd be remiss not to mention their molded footbed, treaded sole, and cushioned insole, which provide excellent support, traction, and—as a bonus—a subtle boost of height. The wide top strap is both functional and fashionable, featuring a hook-and-loop closure to ensure a custom, secure fit for all-day wear. Sure, throwing on a classic blazer is an easy way to elevate your outfit, but it can also feel heavy and uncomfortable in the summer heat. On my recent trip to Paris, I opted for this stylish linen blazer, which offers the same structure sans the weight. Ideal for dinners and dressier outings, the lightweight blazer has a slightly oversized fit, which I love for its effortless, relaxed vibe—perfect for layering over maxi dresses on balmy evenings. While you may wear your bulky, colorful running shoes to the gym, they're not the most stylish option when touring Europe. These leather lace-up kicks from Naturalizer are just as comfortable as they are stylish, thanks to the brand's Contour+ technology—an innovative cushioning system designed to follow the natural shape of your foot for a supportive, custom-like fit and all-day comfort. The 1.25-inch heel offers a subtle lift without sacrificing stability, and the non-slip outsole provides added traction on everything from cobblestones to museum floors. The white leather version is ideal for summer and transitions seamlessly from day to night, whether you're wandering markets by day or heading to a casual dinner in the evening. For those who want to mix it up, the style is also available in a range of other options, including gray, tweed, raffia, and various color and pattern combinations. Athleisure as everyday attire is commonplace in the U.S., but in Europe? Not so much. In Paris, I noticed that the locals generally favored more tailored looks—even for casual outings, which means head-to-toe gymwear can come across as sloppy rather than sporty-chic. For the same ease and comfort, Casly Lamiit's monochromatic two-piece set is lightweight, breathable, and smooth to the touch, making it ideal for long travel days and jumping straight into sightseeing. The high-neck tank can be dressed up or down with a blazer or statement accessories, though I'd argue it looks best paired with the matching cropped wide-leg pants. The latter is a favorite for its elastic drawstring closure and deep side pockets, which are actually roomy enough to hold your phone, wallet, or a small travel guide. Of course, you can also wear the pieces separately, adding even more versatility to your travel wardrobe. A full face of heavy makeup—and an abundance of products—isn't practical for summer travel. With high temps, so much makeup can easily melt off; plus, it can feel overdone and out of place. In Paris (and Europe as a whole), beauty trends lean more minimalist, natural, and laid-back. Channel that effortless French girl approach and keep things subtle and simple with a multipurpose lip and cheek balm. The Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 is a personal favorite since it offers sun protection and buildable, natural-looking color for a fresh, just-back-from-a-stroll glow. Choose from eight hues, ranging from glowy bronzes to pretty pinks. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.
