Best of Racked Longform

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Racked’s longform program was rooted in the belief that clothes, beauty, and other traditionally female topics are worthy of narrative journalism. Our reporters traveled around the world for these deeply reported pieces — from the Carolinas to Cuba, Denmark to Disney, Silicon Valley to Shengzhou. If the list below leaves you hungry for more, you can check out our yearly best of lists (2015, 2016, 2017), as well as the full archive.
