Defining nonbinary work attire
For The New York Times, Shane O'Neill asks the question, "What should you wear to work if you're nonbinary?" El Layla Johnson, a former restaurant server and current therapist said, "I think people treat me with more dignity when I dress more masculinely, but people are way nicer to me when I dress more femininely." Richard Thompson Ford, a Stanford Law School professor explained that since the definition of "gendered dress" is ever-changing, and there is lack of inclusion in employment discrimination laws, there isn't a solid answer for what is considered work-appropriate for nonbinary people. {The New York Times}

How Black female basketball coaches express their personal style from the sidelines
For Andscape, Mia Berry spotlights Black female coaches in women's college basketball and explores why self-expression on the sidelines is so important to them and their style. Julie Henderson, who helps to style her friend and Notre Dame head coach Neile Ivey said, "I think part of her power and part of her magic is getting dressed in her power suits, in her battle suits. I want her clothes to enable her to do all that she [needs to] on the court." {Andscape}
