"The masks are coming off," said Macy's Chief Executive Officer Jeff Gennette after the company boosted its profit outlook and stood by its sales guidance for the year on Thursday. The sentiment was echoed by a string of other retailers reporting quarterly results this week, including makeup-and-beauty products chain Ulta Beauty and Anthropologie-parent co...

Getty Images Let's face it: The Y2K aesthetic has taken over the fashion world, and it seems like it's here to stay. (And honestly, I'm totally on board.)
