The Full Story Behind Patagonia's 'Vote the Assholes Out' Tags
 
Last weekend, a photo started making the rounds on Twitter. It was a simple shot, a closeup of a clothing tag being pushed up by the tip of a finger to reveal the underside. Behind it, the peaks of the mountains on Patagonia's instantly recognizable logo were visible. In the foreground, on the flip size of the part of the tag that presumably noted the sizing, a four-word message: "Vote the assholes out." How exactly did that tag make its way onto a batch of Patagonia's "Road to Regenerative" shorts? How long was it out in the wild before it was discovered? Who gave the go-ahead? Style Director Jonathan Evans called up the Ventura, California-based brand's director of global communications and public relations, Corley Kenna. "When we found out about them—when I found out about them, and a couple of my other colleagues in Ventura—I was like, 'Let's see who finds them, and let the world find it on its own,'" she said.

Just Updated: The 60 Best Movies You Can Stream on Netflix Right Now
 
The bad news: Netflix isn't hosting as many films as it used to. The popular movie and TV streaming platform has about 40 percent fewer movies than it did five years ago, thanks in part to the fact that these days, it's facing a lot of competition. The good news, though, is that there are still thousands of films on Netflix—3,781, according to one report. But by the time anybody tried to scroll your way through more than 3,000 options, movie night would be long over. So here's a list of some of the very best movies on the platform right now. From indie hidden gems to Oscar nominees, documentaries to sci-fi, action to rom-coms and more, these are the best movies to stream on Netflix. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Cargo Shorts Are Back—But Not the Cargo Shorts You're Imagining
 
Cargo shorts? You mean those much-maligned, many-pocketed, most-of-the-leg coverings that have become a sort of shorthand punchline for a certain style of dressing that is, shall we say, not exactly smiled upon by the arbiters of good taste? Yes. Those cargo shorts. The baggy ones that hang well below the knee with the billowing pockets that, for some reason, are never filled with anything more than crushed bags of Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream potato chips. Cargo shorts are, if not back, back in the conversation. People Are Talking about cargo shorts. Here's what Style Director Jonathan Evans has to say about the matter. (It's probably not what you think.) Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Most Anticipated Albums of Fall 2020

Touring is on hold, sure, but long live the LP. The year has already seen a swathe of remarkable releases, and with protest anthems, creative re-awakenings, and revitalized masterpieces (new Prince! new Tom Petty!) rolling out in droves, the fall is suddenly stacked with plenty of stereo-shaking tunes. Here's what to look out for. Read More
