ELLE LOVES

Just when we finally got rid of our Madonna-tape collection ( True Blue foreva), the medium appears to be having a renaissance—sales of both cassettes and cassette players were up last year. Even Gucci is into the trend—it shouted out Tokyo’s vintagecassette haven, music store Waltz, on its travel app. Not here for this cumbersome-to-carry nostalgia trip? Try the UO Tune In Bluetooth Cassette Boombox ($94, at Urban Outfitters, urbanoutfitters.com). It plays tapes and your “Papa Don’t Preach” Spotify playlist.
