Getting and keeping school kids motivated in physical education is not the easiest task. Particularly for novice physical education teachers, that might seem to be “mission impossible.” Kids come to school carrying different cultures, different backgrounds, and different beliefs. Some kids are athletic, whereas others don’t like playing sports or participating in physical activities. Some of them enjoy competitive sports and others feel uncomfortable getting physical, for several reasons (Grieser et. all., 2006).

The Theory of Self-Determination (Deci & Ryan, 2000), which states that behavior is self-determined or voluntary, includes three types of motivation: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation (Moreno-Murcia, González-Cutre, & Chillón, 2009). One of the challenges for a physical education teacher is to be able to distinguish between the three types of motivation. This is an important factor as it helps the teacher identify the students’ motives in physical education. Extrinsic motivation derives from getting an external reward, such as a trophy, a certificate, a trip, or a social reward such as recognition, praise, a given title, and so on. The intrinsic motivation arises from within an individual and can be identified as participating in an activity because it is satisfying the person; the internal drive toward a particular behavior. Amotivation, the lowest level of self-determination, refers to the absence of the first two types (intrinsic or extrinsic motivation) representing a total lack of self-determination (Deci & Ryan, 2000). That is, amotivation represents this category of students who are not willing to participate in class for any reason. Understanding what best motivates the students, requires awareness of both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation that regulate students’ behavior.

Intrinsic motivation produces a long-lasting commitment to exercise allowing the person to improve health, develop skills and abilities and decrease daily stress (Ryan & Deci, 2017). Intrinsically motivated students enjoy putting forth the effort to learn as they find it enjoyable to participate, improve and develop skills.  Probably, physical education teachers should help students shift focus from long-term external outcomes, which sometimes seem to be unreachable and too far away from students, to more positive short-term internal outcomes.

Although extrinsic motivation may partially work for some students, such as when they want to lose weight or to get in better shape, however, body-related motives are not usually sufficient to sustain regular physical activity. A physical education teacher may offer prizes and trophies to students for completing the offered activities, but these external motivators will soon lose their strength in students and the teacher will be left trying to find alternative rewards to satisfy the students again and keep their interest for the lesson high. As mentioned earlier, motivating every single student during their teenage years in each class to try their best and enjoy the learning process may seem unrealistic in the beginning; however, there are ways teachers may build their students’ intrinsic motivation in physical education. These ways are discussed below:

Involve students in the teaching-learning process
Teachers may empower their students by involving them in the teaching-learning process. Teachers facilitate the learning process and allow shared decision-making about learning with students. Student-centered classrooms involve students in all phases of the teaching-learning process; that is planning, implementation, and assessment. Assessment processes should be used to promote learning and may include both self-evaluation and peer-evaluation strategies. When the components of student-centered teaching are well balanced, children are able to retain the knowledge and develop skills for lifelong learning. Placing students at the center of their own learning obviously requires collaboration and lots of patience from the teacher. The teacher offers a great chance for the students to understand why, what, and how learning experiences in physical education take shape.

Why is about relevance. When students understand the value of the activity they are asked to do, they will be willing to invest effort in that. Students usually ask why they need to do a specific activity. Listening to the teacher say for example “It’s part of the curriculum” or “Because I say so” does not help in that way.

What skills and concepts will be taught in class involves students choosing the content of the lesson, according to their interests. Having a discussion with the students at the beginning of the year to explore what they like to do, would help the teacher align activities with their interests.

How learning will be demonstrated to students by providing a variety of choices, according to their knowledge and understanding. Teachers are called to use several ways that are attractive to children, including technology and web-based demonstrations.

Student-centered pedagogy encourages students to deeply engage with the taught material, develop a dialogue, and reflect on their progress (Weimer, 2002). As students gain greater access to information, the teacher’s role becomes even more important since he’s called to guide the application and assimilation of that information into real-world problems, with which students make the connection. Therefore, instructional design should focus on providing tools and learning environments for helping learners interpret the multiple perspectives of the world in creating their own world (Karagiorgi & Symeou, 2005).

Create a positive and caring learning environment
Building caring relationships with students in physical education is a particular challenge for teachers (Constantinides & Silverman, 2018;). An incident during a physical education class observation describes the whole idea; a middle school kid fell down and hurt his ankle, during a basketball scrimmage. Immediately, the teacher stopped the class and went to him to see how he could help. It was obvious that the student experienced an ankle sprain, so the teacher had to give first aid and keep the student away from practice. The student was impressed, since, till that day, no one showed so much compassion and concern for him, according to his continuous statement in the gym.

Through student-teacher interaction, students should sense they are valued, supported, and respected. Arriving early for class, or making yourself available to students after class provides an opportunity to engage small groups of students in conversation, understand how students think, and learn more about themselves. Beyond that, effort should be made to learn students’ names and use them in class. Although it’s not easy to learn all names at once, after completing the second week of classes, a teacher should be able to know most, if not all students’ names. Calling a student by his/her name makes the student feel accountable and that’s important in a classroom. Bergmann (1990) found that students value the caring behaviors of teachers who demonstrate respect for, confidence, and interest in their students. Halldorsdottir (1990) identified that caring behavior, from a student’s perspective, included professional competence, genuine concern for the student, professional commitment, a positive personality, mutual trust, a collaborative relationship in class, promoting feelings of self-acceptance and self-worth, and personal and professional growth. On the other hand, uncaring behaviors in class are described as a lack of professional competence or concern for the student, a demand for power and control, destructive behavior, trustworthiness, and emotional distance.

Communicating with students in an authentic way fosters caring and makes that teacher different in students’ eyes. Responding to questions with enthusiasm and showing that you really want to listen, makes the students feel comfortable to ask further questions, or get involved in a discussion. When teachers share their own experiences and ask for the student’s opinions, this really helps to “break the ice” and built up a good relationship with students. During instruction, a teacher’s positive feedback promotes a caring environment as well. The students are kept accountable for their effort to learn, even if they are not performing a skill in the correct way. The fact that the teacher is paying attention encourages the student to continue the effort and strive to achieve more goals.

Clarify expectations
A component in motivating school children is the ability to specify what is expected from students. Physical education teachers need to be clear as far as the learning outcomes for the activities offered in school physical education. Especially if they succeed in building learning outcomes around intrinsic goals (i.e. learning, health, student relationships), rather than extrinsic (i.e. getting good grades, winning a game), is more possible that students will always engage in class activities and will give more value to the lesson (Fernandes & Vasconcelos-Raposo, 2005). In addition, rules of the class and assessment policies must be communicated clearly to all students (Sierens et al., 2009) so that there will be no confusion.  Making expectations clear to understand, enables students to have a clear picture in their minds as far as what to do, without asking questions.

Research suggests that when teachers introduce specific criteria for success (explicit task presentation) there is a high percentage of on-task behavior during the lesson and when teachers provide little or no information (implicit task presentation) students are more likely to modify the tasks as they go along (Tousignant & Siedentop, 1983). Similarly, Silverman et al. (1985) suggest that students may fail to complete a task as intended by the teacher when expectations for participation are not clear or when they are not held accountable for the intended outcomes. It would seem then that teachers’ instructional decisions and how these decisions are implemented during the lesson largely influence student time-on-task and quality engaged time in physical education.

Present activities that build on students’ interests
Physical educators need to be caring, compassionate, and committed to taking the time to teach so that all students can acquire the skills and knowledge to be effective participants in physical education classes (Constantinou, 2016). Showing that students’ interests are very welcome to be discussed and addressed in class, is greatly appreciated by the students.  Furthermore, explaining the benefits they will have from the activities offered, helps students understand that their goals will be achieved easier participating in the activities offered in class. Many times, students are negative when the teacher announces the topic of the day, even if they have no idea or never dealt with it, however, the teacher needs to be patient and connect class activities with what students actually do during their free time in the afternoon. The following dialogue is just an example: “John, I saw you in the park cycling yesterday. Was it fun?” “Yes, it was, but I need to do that more often because I get tired easily.” “Well, today’s class is about fitness. And together, we will practice ways to make our body able to last longer in several activities, such as cycling that John likes, dancing, and playing sports.”

Make students feel important
In every class, student-teacher interaction should clearly demonstrate that students are valued, respected, and supported whenever needed. It’s not rare during the lesson to hear students sharing their feelings and thoughts with the teacher. Teachers who demonstrate interest and will to hear students’ thoughts and interests, make them feel important in the class (Cox, Duncheon & McDavid, 2009). Especially for low-skilled students or students with low self-esteem, this is extremely important, since it shows that teachers do not interact only with high-skilled students, but with each and every student in the classroom. That helps students stay engaged with class activities, which is an important goal in physical education. Studies in the past that investigated accountability have shown that teacher monitoring is related to student behavior (Hastie & Saunders, 1990) and that accountability plays an important role in physical education (Hastie & Saunders, 1992).  Based on the above research that suggested a relationship between student learning and the way teachers structure and present tasks and holds students accountable (Doyle, 1983), Silverman, Kulinna, & Crull (1995) found similar results in physical education classes.

Allow time for appropriate practice
Teachers need to allow enough time for appropriate practice. How instructional time is used is one thing to consider. The amount and quality of student practice is another one. Both, however, are related to student skill learning in physical education. When teachers allocate enough time for student practice and students are engaged with the subject matter, greater learning occurs (Silverman, 1993). In addition, research has indicated that beyond time, how students actually use that time for individual practice and whether the practice is appropriate to their skill level is strongly related to skill development (Silverman, 1990). When teachers structure time for practice and class is organized so students have a number of appropriate practice trials it is highly likely they will progress and learn the skills being taught. In such a way, students get motivated to stay engaged.

Provide positive experiences to students
Students who have positive experiences in physical education may want to continue those activities both in school and in the afternoon (Gucciardi & Jackson, 2015). On the other hand, students with negative experiences, usually these students that are not successful, may not enjoy the lesson (Subramaniam & Silverman, 2002) and may not want to continue participating. Since active children are more likely to become active adults (Bar-Or et al., 1998) providing positive experiences in physical education classes has the potential to encourage children to be active as children and as adults, with many health benefits such as decreasing the threatening prevalence of obesity (Constantinides, 2013).

Demonstrate effective class management skills
Physical education teachers that allow time for appropriate practice and provide positive experiences to students are usually characterized by effective managerial skills. Before students enter the gymnasium, these teachers have already thought about the activities to be taught, the length of each activity, the organization of the students and the equipment, students’ roles, etc. (Anderson, 1989). Furthermore, in class, they use efficient and consistent organizational techniques to be used for setting up and taking down the necessary equipment, decisions about the spatial organization of each activity, and specific formation (e.g., a quick grouping of students) techniques that help in class organization and decrease the time needed for transitions (Housner & Griffey, 1985). As a result, their classes are organized efficiently and run smoothly (Siedentop et al., 1994).

Focus on skill learning, not the result of the action
Another component that builds on a learning motivational climate, is the ability of the teacher to focus on skill learning itself and not on the result (Cid et al., 2019). For example, when students learn the free throw in basketball, the teacher focuses on bended knees and elbows, on the throwing and the supporting hand, and the strength it requires to send the ball to the target. In that way, students care more about the personal development of their motor skills and not if they score or not. To do this, teachers should focus more on effort and less on results themselves. Sometimes teachers reward students when they execute the skill the way it was presented, informing the students from the beginning about the aim of the class. Obviously, at a competitive level, you expect students to score, however, at developmental ages in school, students need to develop their skills for the better. In addition, teachers may want to eliminate the challenge between students to compete in scoring more points that their classmates, again by justifying the aim of the lesson mentioned above.

Modify practice to meet students’ ability level
Classes in schools usually consist of mixed-ability students. That’s translated to high-middle and low-skilled students in a class. Teachers are expected to teach all students and help them develop their knowledge and skills, no matter they’re entry-level. Obviously, nobody expects low-skilled students to be able to catch up with high-skilled students, however, teachers struggle to help them all learn or improve their skills and abilities for the better. To do that, teachers modify or personalize their teaching to meet students’ ability levels. For example, if low-skilled students have difficulties throwing the ball to the basket, due to the distance, then teachers just ask them to stand closer, so that they will be able to reach the basket. On the other hand, if the activity is too easy for some students, then teachers may ask them to take a step back, to increase the difficulty and to allow students to come up with new and more demanding goals. Research suggests that how teachers modify practice, and the number of times they do that, is related to the amount and quality of practice (Rasmussen, Scrabis-Fletcher, & Silverman, 2006).

Organize students for more opportunities for practice
The organization is one of the variables that create higher levels of activity for students (Constantinides, Montalvo & Silverman, 2013). To be able to provide multiple opportunities for practice, physical education teachers organize their students in stations, pairs, small groups, or individually, which increases the percentage of active students at a given time (Faucette & Patterson, 1990). This is important, considering that in some schools where physical education is not assigned to physical education teachers, students are organized in long lines waiting for their turn to practice once and then going back to the line for more waiting time (Constantinides et al., 2013). In such a case, students are not given enough time to practice and they only have a few opportunities for practice during the lesson, which in turn affects learning.

Use task progressions
Considering that the primary task of teaching in physical education is to teach the content, great attention must be given to teachers’ knowledge of how to break down and teach a skill, using progressions. Task progressions are designed to present physical education content to students in a clear and simpler way, leading to more sophisticated knowledge and improvement in performance and knowledge (Ward, Ayvazo, Dervent, Iserbyt, & Kim, 2020). Physical education teachers “use progressions of tasks to lead the learner from beginning levels to more advanced levels with the content.” Teachers who possess the knowledge to provide well-sequenced learning tasks designed to progress and assess student learning may also make the lesson more meaningful in students’ eyes, which in turn may increase student motivation in physical education (Ward & Lehwald, 2018).

Conclusion
Although motivation in middle school is not easy since students are in their teen years, physical education teachers may find ways to “spark” students’ intrinsic motivation and have a productive and learning school year. Student-centered pedagogy encourages students to deeply engage with the taught material, develop a dialogue, and reflect on their progress (Weimer, 2002). In addition, teachers who show they care about their students and their learning and they create a positive environment for learning, may succeed in having their students on track (Constantinides & Silverman, 2018). Allowing time for appropriate practice and providing positive experiences to students, so that all of them are successful, no matter of their skill level, and focusing on skill learning and strategies, enables students to find the meaning of what they do in physical education. In a supportive learning environment, where the teacher considers students’ movement needs and has clear expectations for them, where all students are kept accountable for their effort, student motivation will more likely occur.

Olivia Wilde Wears Leather Bra Dress at Vanity Fair Oscars Party 2023 – Footwear News

Olivia Wilde arrived at the Vanity Fair annual Oscars party 2023 in Los Angeles tonight, wearing a one-shoulder Gabriela Hearst dress from the brand’s fall-winter 2023 ready-to-wear collection.

Wilde’s gown featured a one-shoulder neckline that fell steeply into the left hip with a flared sleeve along the right arm. She wore the gown as seen on the runway, with a black leather bra featuring thin straps and a sleek band that joined the cups together.


Olivia Wilde arrives at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 12, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California.

Wilde opted for silver tassel earrings and a statement chain.

The actress and film director was styled for the Vanity Fair Oscars party by Karla Welch. Although they weren’t fully visible, Welch paired her white gown with black Le Silla ankle-strapped sandals that featured a crisscross silhouette at the vamp.

Le Silla sandals have awarded multiple award shows this year. At the 2023 British Academy Film Awards, Angela Bassett stepped out in lilac purple satin-finish Le Silla pumps and at the 2023 BRIT Awards, Jessie J donned a sharp pair of fiery-red “Eva” sandals.

Wilde has had a tumultuous year, given the debut of her film “Don’t Worry Darling.” Just a few days earlier in the week, she took her seat at the Pre-Oscars directors’ dinner wearing a Yves Saint Laurent blazer, underlying minidress, opulent tights and pointed-toe patent leather pumps.

The annual Oscars celebrates film, cinematography and the artists who bring characters to life. This year, Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show. Performances include Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and presenters include Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Janelle Monáe and more. For the 95th annual ceremony, the red carpet was swapped for a champagne color due to an aesthetic choice to enhance the photography during the arrivals. The champagne carpet was the first to change from red since the 33rd Oscars in 1961.

Michelle Yeoh, Rihanna, Halle Bailey and More

As anyone who loves fashion knows, clothes are about more than mere style; they communicate an abundance of stories, and that was certainly true of the Hollywood A-listers who walked the champagne-hued carpet at the 2023 Oscars. From romantic volume or sleek modernity to conveying messages both subtle and overt, the stars arriving at L.A.’s Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood seemed to take a uniquely personal approach to their style this year.

The night’s best fashion ran the gamut from the grandeur of voluminous gowns in silk taffeta, notably a pair of Valentino gowns seen on Stephanie Hsu and Florence Pugh, to sleek looks in pale neutrals, including Ana de Armas in Louis Vuitton and Michelle Williams in Chanel. Elegant black gowns also ruled the night, with Danai Gurira’s Jason Wu design and Jenny Slate’s Thom Browne ensemble among the best. Winning details, meanwhile, ranged from rose accents to corset boning and a decided preference for vintage jewels.

More from The Hollywood Reporter

Tribute ribbons also made an appearance as blue ribbons were worn by several stars to call attention to the UNHCR, the U.N. Refugee Agency, which coordinated the #WithRefugees ribbon as an emblem of solidarity with refugees forced to flee their homes. Cate Blanchett, a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, and fellow nominee Brendan Gleeson were among those seen wearing the blue ribbons on Sunday night. Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo likewise chose to create a message close to her heart, wearing a pair of dresses — by Christian Siriano for the Oscars ceremony and by Kevan Hall for the Vanity Fair party — emblazoned with messages to honor the embattled women of Iran, her native country.

Which stars ultimately stood out amid the sea of Hollywood insiders? Here’s a rundown of the night’s most memorable looks. (See a list of the winners, and check out all of the star-studded Oscars red carpet arrivals.)

Angela Bassett in Moschino

Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett

Purple is the color traditionally associated with royalty, and best supporting actress nominee Angela Bassett indeed exuded a queenly vibe in a richly toned purple organza gown by Moschino, beautifully draped and featuring an exaggerated bow neckline. She finished the look with diamonds by Bulgari, including a high-jewelry Serpenti necklace, and shoes by Sarah Flint Heels.

Stephanie Hsu in Valentino

Stephanie Hsu

The news that the red carpet would be transformed to a champagne hue for the 2023 Oscars spawned a wealth of conversation, not all of it positive. And while the pale neutral indeed created a different framing for many looks, many stylists understood the assignment, including Wayman and Micah, stylists for nominee Stephanie Hsu. The actress’ bold pink strapless gown, from Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2023 Le Club Couture collection, was an outstanding choice against that pale carpet. Hsu’s look was finished with high-jewelry sapphire and diamond earrings and a diamond bracelet by Cartier.

Jenny Slate in Thom Browne

Jenny Slate

Jenny Slate

It would have been great to see more of Jenny Slate, co-writer and star of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, not only because the best animated feature film nominee has reached beloved status, but also to get a better glimpse at her custom look by Thom Browne, a black silk faille corset and lace-up skirt, detailed with matching black bugle-bead boning and tuxedo seaming, and seen early on the carpet with a cropped, roped shoulder jacket. Perhaps most adorably: Slate carried Marcel with her, and the diminutive shell was also wearing a look by Browne. The actress and writer, meanwhile, finished her look with a dramatic emerald and diamond necklace by Gismondi 1754.

Malala Yousafzai in Ralph Lauren

An executive producer of short documentary film nominee Strangers at the Gate, Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai embraced the glamour of the 2023 Oscars in a custom silver sequined gown by Ralph Lauren, accessorized with jewels by Santi and Fred Leighton.

Sofia Carson in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture

Sofia Carson

Sofia Carson

An early arrival on the 2023 Oscars carpet, Sofia Carson, who sang the Oscar-nominated song “Applause” during the telecast, exuded a sort of Audrey Hepburn-inspired elegance in a beautiful two-piece custom look by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture, consisting of a draped silk-chiffon crop top with twisted cutout bodice, paired with an asymmetrical waist ballgown skirt. The neckline was perfect for showcasing a high-jewelry necklace by Chopard, featuring seven octagonal-shaped emeralds totaling 122.49 carats, surrounded by 92.57 carats of white diamonds, all set in Fairmined-certified white gold.

Danai Gurira in Jason Wu

Danai Gurira

Danai Gurira

The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star looked equal parts regal and modern in an elegant strapless gown with a distressed neckline from Jason Wu’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection, accented with diamond jewels by Messika, including the diamond Divine Enigma choker used to highlight Gurira’s towering hairstyle.

Sandra Oh in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture

Marigold silk chiffon was a standout color choice for Sandra Oh, who took advantage of the flow and movement of this Giambattista Valli Haute couture empire-waist gown. And with vintage jewels among the night’s trends, Oh also wore one of the best necklaces seen at the 2023 Oscars, a circa-1980s Harry Winston piece featuring an oversized citrine as its center stone, courtesy of Briony Raymond.

Cara Delevingne in Elie Saab

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne

Currently on the April cover of Vogue, model and actress Cara Delevingne has been candid in that feature and other interviews about her conscious decision to concentrate on self-care after struggling with sobriety. That’s why it was so thrilling to see her looking nothing less than stunning at Sunday’s Academy Awards. Every element came together beautifully, starting with her crimson Elie Saab one-shoulder silk gown, which featured an impeccable fit and perfect details like the lush bow at her shoulder. Her Bulgari high jewels, including a Serpenti choker embellished with 62.85 carats of white diamonds, added the ideal splash of sparkle, while her smoky eye and slicked-back hair completed a head-to-toe look that everyone was talking about on social media.

Jay Ellis in Fendi Mens

Jay Ellis

Jay Ellis

Navy tuxes have dominated awards-show carpets in recent years; perhaps that’s why it was so great to see many men reverting to classic black tuxedoes for the 2023 Oscars. Top Gun: Maverick‘s Jay Ellis was an early arrival, and only in the up-close interviews were viewers able to notice that his suit, by Fendi Mens, included a black single-breasted jacket embellished with an all-over floral motif embroidered in matching tone micro beads. Ellis accessorized his tux with Cartier’s Tank Must watch and Christian Louboutin’s Greggo patent-leather dress shoe.

Rihanna in Alaïa

Rihanna

Rihanna

Unsurprisingly, Rihanna created a frenzy on social media when she arrived at the 2023 Oscars in a custom look by Alaïa, a black leather-band dress worn over a black jersey bodysuit. A best song nominee for “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Rihanna accessorized her look with jewels by Moussaieff, including earrings in orangey brown and yellow diamonds and a ring highlighting an orangey brown diamond.

Florence Pugh in Valentino Haute Couture

Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh

Few looks sparked conversation on social media like Florence Pugh’s look by Valentino Haute Couture. Her empire top in greige-hued silk taffeta highlighted dramatic sleeves and a floor-length overskirt worn over black bike shorts, a design from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Spring/Summer 2023 Le Club Couture collection. “It’s a bit romantic and a bit punk,” Pugh explained on the carpet. Her diamond jewels by Tiffany & Co., meanwhile, included a platinum and diamond necklace crafted to resemble the curves of an orchid.

Monica Barbaro in Elie Saab

Monica Barbaro

Monica Barbaro

Also among the night’s early arrivals, Top Gun: Maverick actress Monica Barbaro opted for this two-tone silk gown by Elie Saab, an unusual color pairing of sky blue and eggplant — and that unique vibe, combined with the overskirt structure highlighted by a perfect bow at the waist, is precisely why it worked. Diamonds by Kwiat and Fred Leighton completed her look.

Andrew Garfield in Fendi Mens

Andrew Garfield

Andrew Garfield

Another actor who went ultra-traditional for the Oscars, presenter Andrew Garfield chose a Fendi Men’s Made to Measure black tuxedo that featured a double-breasted jacket with a lapel in tonal satin, paired with traditional black trousers with satin side stripe, a white evening shirt, cummerbund and bow tie, all from the label’s Fall/Winter 2023-24 eveningwear collection. Patent-leather lace-up shoes, also by Fendi, a signet ring by David Yurman, and Omega’s De Ville Tresor Master Co-Axial Chronometer completed his look.

Ana de Armas in Louis Vuitton

Ana de Armas

Ana de Armas

Perhaps not anticipating the effect of the champagne-toned carpet, many attendees and their stylists planned pale looks, including best actress nominee Ana de Armas, who looked beautiful in a romantic gown by Louis Vuitton. Her custom silver silk organza mermaid gown featured a 3D degradé scalloped train. The Blonde star wore white gold and diamond earrings, a bracelet and ring by Louis Vuitton High Jewelry.

Miles and Keleigh Teller in Celine

Miles and Keleigh Teller

Miles and Keleigh Teller

If the Oscars presented a “Hottest Couple” award, the undisputed winners would be Miles and Keleigh Teller. The Top Gun: Maverick star and his wife looked flawless in his-and-hers looks by Celine, a traditional black tuxedo in mohair black canvas on Miles from Celine Homme by Hedi Slimane, while Keleigh wore a fully embroidered silver bow strapless couture dress and silver Sharp sandals, both from Celine by Hedi Slimane, finished with pearl earrings by Mikimoto.

Michelle Williams in Chanel

Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams

A best actress nominee for The Fabelmans, Michelle Williams looked utterly ethereal in a custom design by Chanel: a white silk chiffon, cady and tulle embroidered bustier gown, worn with a silk tulle cape closed with a jewelled button. The embroidery on the dress and cape was inspired by a look from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2023 haute-couture collection. Williams accented the dress and cape with diamonds set in platinum by Tiffany & Co.

Nicole Kidman in Armani Privé

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman

Rose embellishments were a trend at the 2023 Oscars, seen on everything from Halle Berry’s Tamara Ralph gown to the rose Oscar-winning screenwriter Sarah Polley wore on the lapel of her tuxedo. But for roses served with a bit of drama, no one did it better than presenter Nicole Kidman, whose custom Giorgio Armani Privé single-sleeved black gown featured oversized silver-beaded roses on the shoulder and at the waist of this design fully embellished with paillettes. Diamond jewelry by Harry Winston and a diamond watch from the Omega archives completed her look.

John Cho in Zegna

Presenter John Cho looked perfectly elegant in a head-to-toe look by Zegna, which included a black velvet tuxedo jacket worn over trousers in black wool. Cho paired the suit with a vintage diamond star brooch from the 19th century and circa-1930s ruby and diamond cufflinks set in platinum, both courtesy of Fred Leighton, as well as IWC’s Portofino Automatic timepiece.

Michelle Yeoh in Dior Haute Couture

Michelle Yeoh

The night’s best-actress winner for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once looked elegant and ethereal in a Dior Haute Couture gown crafted of feathers embroidered on ivory silk organza. Her diamond jewels by Moussaieff, meanwhile, included a necklace that was woven into Yeoh’s hair. A devout fan of Richard Mille watches, Yeoh also wore the brand’s RM 07-02 Sapphire timepiece, customized on a white strap to match her gown.

Jamie Lee Curtis in Dolce & Gabbana

Corset boning was another big trend at the 2023 Oscars, and that included this Dolce & Gabbana gown worn by best supporting actress winner Jamie Lee Curtis. The blush-hued gown from the Italian label’s Alta Moda collection is fully hand-embroidered with Swarovski crystals and features exposed boning detailing.

Hong Chau in Prada

Hong Chau

Hong Chau

On the pre-ceremony carpet, Hong Chau, a best supporting actress nominee for The Whale, noted that she asked Prada to amp up the details on her pink satin gown, requesting to extend the train embellished with fringes and black sequins, as well as adding a Mandarin collar to the neckline, an homage to her heritage. Pearl and diamond jewels by Mikimoto and Panerai’s Luminor Due Luna watch completed her look.

Lady Gaga in Versace

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga also wore a look that highlighted the night’s trend in corset boning, a gown that was fresh from Donatella Versace’s high-wattage show that premiered in Los Angeles just a few days prior to the 2023 Oscars. Gaga’s Tiffany & Co. jewelry included a diamond and platinum necklace from the house’s archives, estimated to have been produced between 1955 and 1965.

Halle Bailey in Dolce & Gabbana

Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey

The star of Disney’s upcoming live-action The Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey embraced every second of her princess moment in a custom turquoise tulle gown by Dolce & Gabbana, featuring a hand-pleated corset bodice and full skirt. Her diamonds by De Beers Jewellers included the Midnight Aura necklace from the house’s The Alchemist of Light collection, featuring 74.63 carats of diamonds.

Austin Butler in Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello

The best actor nominee for Elvis looked cool and confident in a classic black tuxedo by Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, featuring a double-breasted jacket with matching tuxedo trousers, the Yves collar shirt in cotton poplin and the Yves bow tie, and the label’s XIV 70 zipped boots. Yellow-gold rings and a bracelet by Cartier finished his look.

Janelle Monaé in Vera Wang Haute

The recording artist and actress definitely understood the assignment, blending bold color with a dramatic silhouette in this custom look by Vera Wang Haute, crafted of a bustier in black velvet and a draped skirt in a brilliant orange silk charmeuse.

Jessica Chastain in Gucci

A presenter for best actor and best actress, Chastain wore head-to-toe Gucci, starting with a custom gown crafted of silver sequins and crystals and finished with velvet trim and an extended velvet train. The actress’s Lionhead necklace from Gucci High Jewelry featured 80 carats of tsavorites and diamonds set in 18-karat white gold.

Margot Robbie in Giorgio Armani Privé

The Babylon star eschewed the pre-ceremony carpet and was first seen at the 2023 Oscars on the arm of fellow presenter Morgan Freeman. Robbie’s Giorgio Armani Privé off-the-shoulder column gown was among the designs fashion fans were thirsting to see up close and personal due to the black beading on the bodice and the tulle and crystal embroidery on the skirt. Robbie paired the gown with jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, including a pair of earrings featuring 72 carats of emeralds and black jade.

Elizabeth Olsen in Givenchy

The night’s plethora of grand gowns meant presenter Elizabeth Olsen indeed stood out in this bare halter gown by Givenchy.

Survive Your Hike in the Southern Arizona Low Desert

Introduction

Arizona is blessed with thousands of miles of beautiful trails. Most hikers complete their treks without injuries or other adverse events. However, you can get into serious trouble—even life-threatening—if you don’t know what you’re doing. The most common hazards are related to weather, water, and falls. Our goal with this guide is to help you thrive and survive on southern AZ’s low desert trails. It’s only a start; learn more on your own from authoritative sources.

“Low desert” refers to elevations of roughly 1,000-2,500 feet above sea level, although many low desert trails may take you up mountains to 3,500-4,500 feet. For instance, Scottsdale’s elevation is 1,200 feet and Tucson’s is 2,400 feet. In contrast, the Mogollon Rim (e.g., Payson, AZ) is around 6,000 feet and Flagstaff is 7,000. At these higher elevations the climate, flora, and fauna are often radically different from the low desert.

Before your trek, it’s critically important be honest about your physical coordination and fitness level. If you haven’t walked more than two miles non-stop during the last year, don’t try a four-mile hike. Learn all you can about your proposed trail before you start. Trail descriptions will often note whether it is easy, moderate, difficult, strenuous, or “expert level.” A “primitive trail” will be easier to get lost on and usually have worse footing. Also pay attention to “elevation gain”; a 500 foot or more gain in elevation increases the difficulty. Scottsdale’s famous Camelback Mountain peak is at 2,700 feet, but the Cholla trail starts 1,300 vertical feet below that. That’s not a stroll in the park.

The farther away you get from civilization, the potential adverse outcomes of hiking increase. For any but the easiest and crowded urban trails, tell someone which exact trail you will be on and when to expect a call from you after you finish. That way they know where to send the search party when you don’t check in. On remote or uncrowded trails, hike with a buddy who can help if you become injured or disabled.

Numerous rescues and several deaths occur yearly on AZ’s trails. Are you scared yet? Let’s alleviate that fear and minimize risks! What follows pertains mostly to day hikes on established trails, not bushwhacking or overnight backpacking.

Weather

Heat kills. From mid-May through late September, high temperatures in the low desert often hit 105 to 110° F or even higher. Low temps in summer may not drop below 95! Most Arizonans will NOT be on the trail in the sun when it’s above 95 degrees. We’ll hit the trail at sunrise and be off it by 10 AM. Memorize and avoid these signs of Heat Illness: muscle cramps, feeling faint (dizzy), goosebumps, unusually high pulse, extreme fatigue, nausea, headache, rapid breathing. If ignored, these can lead to heat stroke, which can be fatal. Adequate hydration and perhaps salty snacks or electrolyte packets help prevent Heat Illness.

Some trails will have almost no shade, so you should avoid them in summer after 10 AM unless high temps under 95° are predicted. 

High temps are not much of a problem in late fall, winter, and early spring. Low temps are easily manageable with the right clothing. But always check the forecast for temps, rain, snow, and thunderstorms before heading out. The higher the elevation, the cooler it tends to be.

AZ has a season called “monsoon” from June 15 to Sept 30 when overall humidity is higher than usual. It’s characterized by occasional violent storms with rain, high winds, lightning, and flash flooding. Don’t get caught outside in a monsoon storm. Be very careful to avoid creeks and dry creek beds (washes or arroyos) when rain is in the area or even miles away, or you could die in a flash flood. From the Centers for Disease Control : “Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and can strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Many lightning deaths occur ahead of storms or after storms seemingly have passed. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you might be in danger of a lightning strike.”

Water

Dehydration kills. Especially in the hot months. Adequate hydration will help prevent Heat Illness. How much water you carry with you depends on body weight, length of hike, humidity level, temperature, personal preference, etc. Everybody should start out well-hydrated and take more water than you think you’ll need. One rule-of-thumb is that, when a third of your water is gone, it’s time to turn around unless you’re half-way to your destination. For hot summer hikes, Arizona Hiking Shack (phone 800-964-1673) advises adults to take one liter of water for every hour you’ll be out, plus and an extra bottle “for whatever.”  There’s a fair chance you’ll run across someone on the trail who needs water. You may need water to cleanse abrasions or wet your neck’s cooling towel. Another rule-of-thumb from the Shack is: “When your water’s half done [gone?], your hike is half done.”

Clothing and Gear

Footwear:

If a trail is labelled as “easy,” you’ll probably be fine wearing sneakers. “Easy” usually means fairly flat and smooth. Avoid sandals because they don’t provide much protection against cactus needles, scorpions, rocks, etc. For a “moderate” level trail, you might get by with sneakers but specific hiking shoes or boots are better, which is what you’ll want for “difficult” trails. Moderate, difficult, and primitive trails usually have more rocks, and your feet need protection from them with a thicker or stiffer shoe sole.

Clothing:

Use your judgment and dress for the weather. You may fall or rub against bushes, cacti, and rocks, so sturdier clothes beat flimsy. White or light-colored clothing will keep you cooler in the summer. A broad-brimmed hat protects against the sun.  

Sun Protection Options:

Sunscreen, long pants, long-sleeve shirts, gloves, sunglasses, hat.

Backpack:

Size depends on individual needs and preferences. A comfortable one is worth the money. A pack with a hip belt will make heavy loads (water!) more comfortable by shifting some weight onto the hips. Built-in water-carrying bladders are popular.

Trekking poles (optional):
Helpful for maintaining balance on uneven, unstable, or slanted surfaces. They take pressure off arthritic or weak knees when moving downhill.

Miscellaneous:
First aid kit, communication devices, maps, navigation aids, multi-tool, cooling towel for neck (requires water).

First Aid Kit

Commercial kit or DIY (do it yourself). You need tweezers to remove cactus needles and splinters, an assortment of band-aids, antibiotic ointment, 1% hydrocortisone cream, antiseptic towelettes, steri-strips, 2-inch gauze wrap, “2nd Skin” or other blister remedy, medical tape, 4×4” gauze pads, 2×2” gauze pads, small scissors or paramedic shears, latex or nitrile gloves. Barebones kit: tweezers, band-aids, 4×4” gauze pads, 2-inch gauze wrap. Optional: acetaminophen, NSAID such as ibuprofen, Benadryl (for itching). [sterile needle or other device for help removing splinters?]

Navigation Aids

A few trails are so obvious and/or crowded that you won’t need any navigation aids. Unless you’re sure about that, be prepared to prevent getting lost. Use a trail map and keep track of your location on that map. If you are in a remote area, strongly consider a handheld GPS navigation device (Garmin brand is the market leader), topographic map, and a compass. Learn how to use the compass and map before you need it. Hiking with someone familiar with the area could be life-saving.

Animal Hazards

Lions and tigers and bears, Oh My! AZ has no wild tigers but there are a few jaguars. Here are some problematic critters you may run across:

  • Snakes. The commonest dangerous snake here is the rattlesnake. Most of them are not aggressive if left alone but give them a wide berth. A coiled rattler can strike a distance 2/3 of its length. If you hear the rattle, it’s a clear warning. Always keep your eyes open for snakes, except you can let your guard down a bit between roughly Dec 1 and mid-March.
  • Gila monsters. Much less commonly seen than rattlesnakes. They tend to move slowly and are not aggressive unless threatened.  The venomous bite is very painful but rarely serious. Stay away.
  • Scorpions. Stings can be painful but usually not serious in healthy adults. Young children and the elderly are at higher risk of serious effects.  
  • Mountain lions (aka cougar or puma). Attacks on humans are uncommon but do occur. Many avid hikers have never seen a lion. Sabino Canyon near Tucson seems to be a relative hot spot.
  • Coyotes. Common. Unless rabid, they tend to ignore or run from adult humans. Keep small dogs and children near you.
  • Bobcats. Uncommon. Unless rabid, they tend to ignore or run from adult humans.
  • Black Bears. Uncommon to rare. Do not get between a momma bear and cubs. In bear country, avoid encounters by hiking with others and make noise (e.g., talking, whistling, singing) periodically. If a bear sees you, walk slowly away, keeping eyes on the bear. If it starts walking toward you, talk to it calmly in a low tone. Alternatively, a powerful blow on your emergency whistle may scare it away. If it comes at you aggressively, do not run or play dead; stand your ground, yell, wave your arms to make yourself look larger. If attack is imminent, fight with all you’ve got: throw rocks or wood, use bear spray, hands, firearms. Aim for the face. (The approach to grizzlies is different.)
  • Javelinas. Common. Usually not aggressive toward humans unless startled, threatened, or javelina babies are nearby. Stay away. Bites can be severe.
  • Bees. A few bee stings are not dangerous unless you are seriously allergic to them. Our Africanized bees can team up and kill humans with hundreds of stings. May and June are the highest risk months. Bees attack when the nest is threatened. When you see or hear an unusual number of bees in an area, move away quickly yet calmly. One sting may alert the colony that a predator—you!—is nearby. An attack may start with one or a few bees “head bumping” you as a warning; move away quickly. Resist the urge to swat, flail arms, or kill one of these or other bees. You can cover your head with clothing but don’t obstruct your vision. Once the entire colony or swarm attacks, run as fast as you can to shelter such as a car or building. If none is available, run for at least a quarter mile (400 meters), preferably in a straight line. You may be able to outrun them.

From the list above, if you have a scary animal encounter it’s most likely to involve a rattlesnake, scorpion, or bees. Odds are, you won’t have any problem at all. Search for information at trailheads about which dangerous animals are in the area and advice on avoidance and defense.

Plant Hazards

The desert is home to many spikey and prickly plants that are not always obvious upon inspection. Be vigilant. Watch young children closely.

How to Request Emergency Help

A cell phone is the usual first option. But remote areas often lack cell phone service. If service is marginal, try moving to a higher location and/or send a text message. If you’re disabled by injury, someone in your party can hike back to civilization for help, if time allows.

Another option is an emergency whistle. The idea is to get the attention of someone in the area. The whistle is louder and will transmit farther than shouting, up to a mile or so, and takes less energy. A common distress signal from a whistle is three blasts (2-3 seconds each) in succession, rest for a bit then repeat. Or use the old Morse code for SOS: three short blasts, three long blasts, then three short blasts.    

After cell phones, a satellite phone is the next most reliable and quick-response option although financially out of reach for most of us. Less expensive options are PLBs (personal locator beacons) and satellite messengers. PLBs solely send an SOS with your location to rescue agencies via satellite and do not have a subscription fee. Alternatively, satellite messengers allow you to send SOS signals, plus text messages to friends or loved ones and have additional features like navigation. A subscription fee is required. Examples are Garmin inReach, SPOT, and Bivy Stick.

Prepare for the Worst?

Imagine planning on a four-hour afternoon hike alone on a remote trail, but you trip and fall into a ravine, fracturing your leg, losing your ability to walk. And you have no way to call for help. Assuming a search party is planned, they may not find you until 12-48 hours later. You’ll have to spend the night in the wild and it’s getting cold. Are you prepared? Items to consider packing: tarp for making a shelter, 550 paracord, flashlight, space blanket for warmth, knife, method for purifying water, method for making fire (matches, lighter), firearm for protection, warm clothes, and food. Before heading out on the trail, take a full-body photo of yourself in your hiking clothes and send it to a loved one; this will help rescuers quickly identify you.

Conclusion

Be prepared, not scared.

Why We Made This

The old status quo for hot weather work pants simply wasn’t getting the job done. For so many of our customers, the summer is one of their busiest times, and it doesn’t make sense to put up with pants that provide poor functionality and make you feel hotter and more restricted than you need to be. And with the wicking fabric, the T1 WerkPants will dry in just eight minutes.

FabricMade from 70D, 85% Nylon/15% Spandex, Doubleweave, Wicking treatment, 176gsm

From the field

“Hands down best summer work pants on the market. Very comfortable and offer maximum amount of movement without binding. They breathe well so your legs don’t get clamy. I highly recommend these for anyone who’s body temp runs high like mine does.”

– Miguel M.

“I can’t believe I didn’t know these clothes existed. I have been wearing jeans to work in. These pants changed my life. These are the T1’s which are meant for warmer weather. They stretch, stay dry and somehow repel stains. I am a Truewerk loyalist from here on out.”

– David L.

“These are awesome pants: lightweight, great fit; durably take to hard work, extra room in the right places; a dedicated, EASY-to-get-to phone pocket; extra belt loops appreciated, wash easily, very little drying needed right out of the washer. I love my jeans, but these are my new best friend, so comfortable.”

– Arnold C.

The 10 Best Wine Racks to Store Your Vino in Style

The 10 Best Wine Racks on the MarketBest Products; Tribesigns, LVB

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.”

Whether you enjoy shopping in person or opt to get your vino via wine subscription, you definitely know how to kick back, relax, and enjoy a glass of wine. You’ve invested in stylish oenophile-fabulous accouterments like electric wine openers and wine aerators — but what about your storage situation?

While few wine lovers are ready to invest in a comprehensive wine cellar, many casual wine drinkers find that between hosting parties and house guests, a collection can pile up rather quickly — making wine racks a worthy investment, regardless of how much real estate you can dedicate to housing it.

How We Selected

As an avid wine lover and collector, I definitely know my way around a wine rack. I sought out racks that would serve as both great additions to my home and as wine gifts to friends who value design, convenience, and aesthetics but don’t require a capacious and serious rack for the long haul. In addition, I read through recommendations from editors at Spruce Eats, Food & Wine, Wine Enthusiast, and Liquor and plowed through hundreds of comments and reviews from real-life users online.

Read on, and get ready for a more beautiful and efficient happy hour ahead!

Wood Rack

This minimalist wine rack does exactly what it sets out to do without making a fuss or drawing attention to itself. The 12-bottle unit (11.3 x 12.5 x 36 inches) is small enough to fit on most counters and tables, but with larger sizes available for those in need of more storage, its versatility and modest price point made it an easy winner for our best overall pick. You can also pick from natural or ash wood styles.

Made from sustainably harvested Vermont wood, this wine rack is naturally finished and handcrafted in (you guessed it) Vermont. It comes with a lifetime warranty and can be easily washed with warm, soapy water.

Reviewers love this “great” wine rack, saying it lasts for “years” and is “perfect” for storing bottles. Some do say that the set can have rough edges in spots, but add that those edgy patches can be sanded easily. This modular rack requires assembly, but the instructions are straightforward, and you can customize it to be either square, rectangular or another geometric shape that suits your needs and decor.

Freestanding Wine Rack

If you have a small space, a micro budget, and / or only a handful of bottles, this wine rack is a great option. The 10.3 x 10 x 8-inch rack comes in gold or black finish, and the modern, geometric, honeycomb style turns it into an instant conversation piece if you put it on your countertop, tabletop, or bar.

The rack also comes fully assembled and is easy to clean—just wipe it with a damp cloth. And if you don’t love the rack, you can return it for a full refund. The finish is electroplated, epoxy-coated, and rust-resistant so it is anticorrosive, with a lasting luster. Reviewers “love” the “pretty” and “sturdy” rack, saying it holds six bottles well, and makes a “great addition” to their bar cart. Others note that it does not hold larger bottles.

Bottle Metal Wall-Mounted Bottle Rack

This wall-mounted rack is a great way to keep your wine bottles neat and organized. The durable rack is built to last, and the range of finishes ensures it won’t clash with your overall aesthetic. Plus, the attractive design adds a nice artistic touch to your home.

This wall-mounted rack is also a fantastic option for folks in tight spaces who can’t spare the storage for their small collection of wine. The 36 x 13 x 25-inch rack holds 9 bottles and weighs 4.5 pounds. Fully loaded, it holds 45 pounds. If you do plan to load it up completely, you’re going to want to make sure you securely mount it to a strong wall.

Reviewers on Wayfair give this wine rack an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars, with buyers saying that they “love love love” it and get “so many compliments on it.”

Bar Cart With Wine Rack

If you’re more focused on enjoying wine with friends than collecting it, this bar cart-storage unit may be right up your alley. The 15.7 x 30 x 33-inch cart features a chic black-arched metal frame with two gray wood shelves and a horizontal mini-rack that stores three wine bottles.

The serving cart will allow you to stow an ice bucket, additional upright wine and liquor bottles, glasses, plates, napkins, and other bar accouterments. Because it’s on wheels and outfitted with rustic farmhouse chic metal handles, you can roll it to wherever the party is in your house or yard. When you want it to stay safely locked into place, you can activate the two rear-wheel brakes.

The cart comes with a 30-day free return policy and 12-month quality insurance. More than 82% of reviewers on Amazon give this cart five out of five stars. Reviewers say they have been “pleasantly surprised” by the quality of the cart, given the price. Others say it’s “easy to assemble,” “cute,” and “functional.”

Avant Solid Wood Floor Wine Bottle Rack

This 60-bottle wooden wine rack is stackable, which makes it ideal for budding or established wine collectors who want to be able to grow their collection with multiple racks that look uniform.

It’s a simple yet spacious rack that makes a nice addition to spaces with most design schemes, from traditional to contemporary. Plus, it’s nice enough to be displayed in your living or dining room.

The 28.3 x 43.3 x 11.8-inch rack stores bottles horizontally, which is ideal for long-term cellaring. The rack is also designed so that there is enough room to be able to see the wine label from most angles. Assembly is easy, and at 16.53 pounds, the wine rack can be moved by one person. The weight capacity is 180 pounds, which is plenty, even if you stock it completely.

Reviewers love this “functional” rack for organizing “the ridiculous wine collection” they’ve amassed. Others say they work great when stacked. “Amazing and so sturdy!”

Corner Wine Rack

This is about as close as you can get to having a bar at home … without having a bar at home. The large structure tucks into corners and stores up to 42 wine bottles horizontally, up to 15 glasses from the hanging holder, and a range of additional bottles, plates, utensils, and glassware.

The 31.4 x 62.9-inch four-shelf (with a bonus top shelf) L-shaped rack features black painted metal for the frame and wooden shelving (the wood is from particle MDF). The frame is built to last and can be cleaned easily.

The rack does require assembly, and if you have an electric screwdriver on hand, it will certainly speed up the process. Reviewers say that once completed, “the bar looks amazing.” Others say it’s a “great value” but warn that assembly is “tough” if you’re not handy.

Stackable Plastic Fridge Rack

If you want the option of keeping your wine bottles in the fridge, this stackable rack is a great option. You can choose from a range of sizes that will store between 2 and 24 bottles. The 4-bottle rack we have featured here is 4 x 7.6 x 8 inches—just big enough to fit the wine bottles but not so large that it overwhelms your refrigerator’s interior.

This rack also fits comfortably on your kitchen counter. The modern, sleek design, coupled with the clear plastic material, will make it blend into most settings, but more modern interiors will pair best. This rack, unlike most of the others on our list, requires zero assembly, a boon for those without a set of screwdrivers. When the lightweight (15.8 ounces) rack gets dirty, resist the urge to put the rack in the dishwasher, as it can warp. Just wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

More than 82% of reviewers give this five stars on Amazon, writing that it is their “best kitchen purchase for 2023” and the “easiest rack for stackable wine storage.”

45-Bottle Wall-Mounted Wine Rack

For wine lovers who don’t have room for a dedicated cellar and may actually like the idea of showing off their prized bottles, this wall-mounted rack is a great option. (Just ensure it is a cool space in your home and that the rack isn’t being hit by a lot of direct light, which can degrade the quality of your wine over time).

The 75 x 41 x 4.25 inches rack comes with an installation kit and the necessary mounting hardware, along with a video tutorial and easy instructions. The rack weighs 39.2 pounds by itself, and with 45 bottles of wine added, the weight will be considerable, so ensure your wall is strong enough to hold the weight. (It holds up to 170 pounds).

Reviewers say the installation is “easy,” and once up, it “looks great.” Others pipe up that while installation isn’t “hard,” it takes a lot of time if you don’t have a power drill.

Stackable Modular Wine Rack

If you have a cellar and you want a value-priced one-and-done storage unit, step right up. This wood wine rack may not be much to look at (it hasn’t been stained and instead has a raw look), but it more than makes up for it in terms of functionality.

You will be able to pack 96 bottles into this 44.5 x 11.4 x 37.2-inch wine rack, with eight tiers that fit 12 bottles in each layer. The rack weighs 21.49 pounds by itself. It is easier than most racks to put together; each piece of wood has notches and slots that fit together. You do not need any special equipment to assemble the rack. Once put together, the rack is sturdy and won’t wobble.

Reviewers say this rack is “surprisingly strong” and “stable.” Others say it may be “simple,” but it is a “breeze to assemble” and is “easy to use.” Some warn that it is a “tad tight” for Champagne bottles but “workable.”

12-Bottle Wall-Mounted Wine Bottle Rack

Wine labels can be works of art in and of themselves. If you have a small collection of gorgeous bottles that you love to ogle, this circular wine rack is just what you need. The wine rack comes fully assembled and is made of durable black metal. It is 35 pounds by itself and holds up to 50 pounds; you’re going to want to make sure that you mount this beauty to a sturdy wall.

The piece is durable and easy to clean — just wipe it with a damp sponge when it gets dusty. Keep in mind that if you want to preserve the wine, in addition to displaying it, you will want to keep the room in which it is hung relatively cool, and you’ll want to make sure the bottles aren’t in the path of direct sunlight.

Reviewers on Wayfair give the wine rack an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars, saying they “love” the “elegant rack,” adding that it serves as a “great conversation piece” with “sturdy construction” and incredible “durability.”

Storing Your Wine

Storing wines the right way is more important than you might think. Serious collectors will tell you that temperature is key: you’re going to want to aim for a temperature that hovers between 45- and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, ideally with a humidity level of 70%, explains Bertil Jean-Chronberg, owner of Boston’s Bonde Fine Wine Shop. (Your basement is ideal; avoid any space exposed to direct sunlight or close to a heating vent).

Practicality and functionality are key too. If you know you’re going to be drinking your bottles within the next several months, buying a small to medium-sized wall-mounted or modular rack that you display in your living or dining room is perfectly fine for the wine, and it can add an element of playful fun to your interior design.

If you plan to keep several of your bottles on hand for special occasions or as an investment, you’re going to want a larger rack that you keep in your basement or another temperature-controlled room.

Bottle Placement

“Always place your wine bottles horizontally, especially if the bottles are equipped with a cork. This prevents the cork from drying out. Storing the wine horizontally will allow oxygen in large quantities to penetrate the bottle and prevent wine from leaking out of the bottle. If the bottle is equipped with a twist cap or a Vino Seal cap, the orientation in which you store it does not matter — the wine can remain vertical,” says Jean-Chronberg.
