Last week, both Microsoft and Google gave demos of their new artificial intelligence–powered search assistants. Microsoft’s Bing Chat sits inside its Bing search engine and Edge web browser, while Google’s Bard chatbot will do its thing on the same page where Google’s standard search results appear.
If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you’d been struggling with, it may not be a fluke. Rather than constantly grinding away at a problem or desperately seeking a flash of inspiration, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs or epiphanies when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought—an activity in which you’re basically on autopilot.
In any given year, the exercise of assembling a definitive list of the best places to travel is both exciting and daunting. After all, we’re never short on inspiring places and experiences we hope to cross off. And so, every fall, when we convene to start the process of creating this list, we do so with great care, enlisting our extensively traveled network of writers from around the world—and for the first time this year, editors from other Condé Nast Traveler markets—to pitch, endorse, defend, and eventually align on the places we believe that you, as our readers, will most want to travel to over the next 12 months.
THERE ARE five days left of August, and if you're one of those people who do not wear white past the first week of September, then you don't have much time left. End things on a high note with this ultra-chic outfit of high-waisted wide-leg pleated trousers, a sleeveless turtle neck and cosy knit jumper wrapped casually around your shoulders for when the temperature drops.

While the Double Denim trend can transition into autumn, this trend, a white top with cream-coloured pants definitely belongs to the warmer months. Whether tucked or untucked, a t-shirt or a blouse, ankle-length pants or long pleated trousers, here are a few ways we like to style this mini trend...
Albanian-born Ilirida Krasniqi is a dentist by day, and a style influencer when work is over. Based in Copenhagen, she has already caught the eye of Vogue Paris one to follow for her ability to capture the energy of the moment. We love her decidedly lady-like style: high-waisted trousers with crisp white shirts, belted trenches and tweed blazers, mules and kitten heels and strappy sandals...
IN LATE APRIL, Kendall Jenner stepped out in a pair of wide-legged pleated pants, a white t-shirt paired with an oversized crisp white shirt. It was head-to-toe The Row, and it was easily the chicest spring outfit this year. The epitome of casual elegance, it was both dressy and comfortable ...
A LITTLE NINETIES, a little rock 'n roll―the padded shoulder t-shirt Mini Trend has been around for a little while now, but it's a perfect way to transition from late-summer into autumn. Worn with pleated trousers and heels or with blue jeans, it adds a little extra to any outfit...
