Not all bralettes are created equal — some are meant to support, others to flaunt. But, they all hold space smack dab in between the traditional underwire and, well, no bra at all. As dressing habits have shifted amidst the pandemic (more sweatpants, less high heels), the necessary undergarments have shifted as well. Comfort is a priority, which is where the bralette excels. If you’ve ever wondered what exactly differentiates a bralette from other styles on the market — say a sports bra or a more traditional underwire, below you’ll find expert tips on what makes the bralette a must-own in 2022. What is a bralette? In the simplest terms, “a bra is made with an underwire, while a bralette is not,” says Araks Yeramyan, the designer of luxury lingerie brand Araks. That being said, bralettes can range in their appearance, from triangle shapes similar to what y...

Ask any makeup artist what the most important item in their kit is and odds are, it’ll be one of their favorite makeup brushes. From mascara wands to eyeshadow blending brushes, the trick to mastering makeup techniques often lies in the quality of the brush, rather than the skills of the person applying it. There are plenty of benefits to using quality makeup brushes. Using an expertly shaped makeup brush will make the application much easier, resulting in a smoother, well-blended and overall, more refined final look without any harsh lines. And not only will your skin softly transition across your face for a more natural look, but the super soft, fluffy bristles can also be better for your skin than fingertips, which can transfer germs if you aren’t careful. Small or angled brushes are designed for maximum precision, ensuring that you won’t overdo it by ...

Certain outfits, in particular, require a strapless bra. “Racerback tops, halter tops, strapless tops, one-shoulder tops, cut-out tops, skinny strap tops, tube tops…all of these styles look better with a strapless bra that directs attention to where it should be — on the top itself, not on your bra,” says Sapna Palep, the Co-CEO of Journelle. Celebrity stylist Jacqueline Zenere, who works with Ashley Tisdale and Olivia Palermo, agrees. “There isn’t anything worse when a gorgeous look is broken up by the appearance of underpinnings.” Strapless bras have also come a long way over the years. “Today’s options often have removable straps and/or convertible straps so that you can make them a multi-purpose bra solution,” Palep notes. They’re also more comfortable thanks to added details. “Oft...

When you think about wardrobe staples in a WFH world, nearing the top of the list next to cashmere sweaters and leather pants is a great pair of workout leggings. Whether worn as a comfy pairing to a blouse for a Zoom call, for running errands, lounging around the house or actually working out, everybody needs a solid pair of the best leggings in their drawer. But just as with finding a good pair of jeans, it takes a little trial and error to meet your perfect match.  How to find the best workout leggings The right workout clothes allow you to focus on your performance without the constant need to adjust your activewear. When shopping for a good pair of workout leggings, just like your quest for the best sports bras, you’ll want to look for styles that flatter and support your specific body type, so you can look and feel your best while exercising.

My first memory of activewear was probably pink spandex and leg warmers in a Jane Fonda workout. Odd to think that although workout clothes have grown ions past that moment, you can probably rock a similar look in your next barre class and not get a second glance. Active clothes grew as a response to fitness becoming a higher priority as part of healthy lifestyles. At first, styles for women mirrored the ones for men. They were created using a “shrink it and pink it” strategy, which is why early styles were oversized t-shirts and sweats. These days, the big fitness brands have vast collections for women. From big sneaker brands like Nike and Adidas to women-only brands like Athleta, to retailers with active lines like Old Navy, you can pretty much find cute workout clothes anywhere. But in such a saturated market, which activewear brands are the best? Bef...

Foreo continued to improve their hero product since its launch in 2013 and now, their next-gen model, Luna 3, cleans skin in just one minute while the range of firming massage op...

Our calendars say we’re in the thick of winter, but the beauty industry has its sights (and hearts) set on spring. The change in seasons brings a much-needed refresh to our looks, with a shift towards vibrant makeup that starkly contrasts from the moody, cozy palettes we often gravitate towards in the colder months. For spring ’22, we’re also looking forward to seeing this shakeup with the best nail colors. Unlike in seasons past when electric hues and pretty pastels dominated the nail polish category, the biggest trends for spring ’22 mani-pedis include subtle pops of color as well as low-maintenance nudes. According to Bellacures’ nail technician Savanna Galvan, any low-key nail look that’s currently in style was likely inspired by our time in quarantine, when comfort and convenience trumped glamour. “The biggest trends we expect to see this spring all ...

Historically, most lingerie has been pricey and associated with ads that promote a singular body type — often one’s that’s tall and ultra-slim — leaving many women to dismiss the lacy market altogether. But lucky for all of us, in 2022, lingerie has made great progress in accessibility and inclusion — and the market is booming. Not only have a range of affordably priced yet quality lingerie brands emerged, but they’re also now available to shop via Amazon, so you can get pieces to your door within two days if you’re a Prime member, free of charge. Included on the e-tailer’s site are top labels like Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty lingerie label and Khloe Kardashian’s Good American company, both of which carry a range of sleek styles for all shapes and sizes. The online marketplace even houses classic affo...

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are typicall known as some of the best shopping days to score beauty deals, Presidents’ Day beauty sales can be just as tempting to splurge with major savings.

Whether you’re looking for something obscure or an everyday item, it’s second nature to turn to Amazon for everything on your shopping list. That’s because you can easily find tons of products for less on the ecommerce site and have them arrive at your door with two-day free shipping if you’re a Prime member. One of Amazon’s more underrated categories, however, is its shoe selection. Just like with its other products, the e-tailer aggregates an impressive amount of footwear to choose from.

Types of Amazon sandals Perhaps the biggest pro of buying shoes on Amazon is accessing the site’s sheer variety of sandals. Rather than visiting one retailer for an athletic pair of sandals and another for a fashion-forward, luxury pair, Amazon has y...

There’s nothing that pulls your look together quite like red lipstick. But its power is not just superficial. Makeup, and specifically lipstick, has been scientifically shown to improve your mood (no wonder lipstick sales soared during the pandemic) and make you feel more assertive (in fact, a crimson pout has been synonymous with empowerment since the Suffragettes movement). But before you swipe on one of the best red lipsticks, you’ll want to find your perfect shade and learn the most foolproof way to apply it. The different shades of red lipstick Red lipstick shades can technically include thousands of variations, but are often placed in three main categories: Warm: Warm red lipsticks tend to be orangey-red hues, and traditionally looks gorgeous on those with golden and warm skin tones. Cool: Blue-toned red lipsticks naturally flatter those with co...

While you can truly never have enough cozy sleepwear and loungewear, this rings especially true when referring to Skims’ Boyfriend Collection. First launched in December 2020, this beloved collection sold out quickly and then garnered a waitlist of over 60,000 hopeful people, even after selling more than 80,000 pieces. The line features perfectly oversized tops and a pair of boxers that are incredible comfortable while flattering your form. And it’s not just consumers who can’t get enough of these pieces — the collection has also amassed quite the celeb following from the likes of Hailey Bieber, and of course Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

All five of the styles are available in the original colors, whi...

From once being declared “a sign of defeat” by Karl Lagerfeld to becoming the heroes of our work-from-home wardrobes, the cozy staple has transformed well beyond its colorful tracksuit days of the early 2000s when every It girl from Paris Hilton to Aaliyah to Jennifer Lopez rocked an ultra low-rise cut of the style. Whether you prefer joggers or sweats, today’s iteration of the sweatpant takes on sleeker, more modern silhouettes that can be styled from the gym to the couch in a range of coveted off-duty looks inspired by those of top models like Bella Hadid. The best sweatpants for women today offer a range of ultra-soft fabric blends from classic cotton to eco-friendly Tencel to luxe cashmere. There are lightweight joggers breathable enough for intense workouts and thick, cozy sweatpants that are perfect for com...

With origins in ancient techniques like gua sha and timeless skin-care tools like jade rollers, massaging your face has gotten a high-tech upgrade in recent years. Brands are now producing a wide range of face massager tools to match different skin conditions, price points and treatment intensities. Do face massagers work? Before you buy a face massager, it’s important to “set realistic expectations,” says celebrity facialist Candace Marino, who’s worked with everyone from Mandy Moore to Giuliana Rancic. “While face massagers can be a great — and fun — addition to self care, they’re not the end-all be-all for anti-aging. A good skin-care routine should be prioritized, because what you put on your skin regularly is what’s going to give you results and maintain the health of your skin.” Corey L. Hartman, founde...

If there’s a singular wardrobe staple that does all the heavy lifting, it’s the bodysuit. It can serve as lingerie, a base layer or a statement top all on its own. But, despite its potential, the piece can be polarizing, with some trendsetters swearing by it for ease and convenience and a whole other subset finding the task of pulling one on cumbersome and constraining. If you fall into the latter category, it may be time to reconsider, as the best bodysuits on the market today tackle shortcomings thanks to innovative designs and new materials. “Bodysuits create the perfect foundation, hugging your curves and creating a smooth effortless look,”  Liisa Thorson, national fit director at Nordstrom, tells WWD. “They’re great for layering, as you don’t have bulky fabric to worry about.” “Plus, they are two for one,” Zenre says. “Skip the underwear if you d...

If you’ve been waiting for your favorite beauty products to go on sale, it’s time to fill up your cart because Amazon is offering some steep discounts just in time for Valentine’s Day. While there are lots of amazing deals on serums and moisturizers, the markdowns on big ticket gadget are perhaps most noteworthy. You’ve probably seen NuFace’s products all over Instagram and TikTok, but they’re definitely on the pricier side. That said, you can currently score up to $32 off the NuFace Petite and Fix Line Smoothing device. They’re both designed to deliver a lifted look to the face by using microcurrents that stimulate the facial muscles. It’s also a great time to pick up the Forea Luna facial cleaning device, which uses silicone bristles to gently slough away debris, for $50 less than its original price. Finally, there are tons of creams and serums on sale ...

The best designer tote bags are undoubtedly the chicest way to carry more than your phone, keys and wallet — think your laptop, a change of shoes or a backup sweater. Perhaps they can hold even on-the-go beauty elixirs and a complete lunch, too. But more than being practical, extra-roomy bags are becoming more coveted, possibly, than the trendiest of mini bags. While the tote bag has been a mainstay and solid bestseller in collections from Saint Laurent to Christian Louboutin for many seasons, Lisa Aiken, fashion and lifestyle director of Neiman Marcus, tells WWD, “One of the key trends we’ve seen on recent runways is oversized totes, roomy enough to carry all of your essentials. Adding, “Fashion-forward brands such as Khaite and luxury labels like Bottega Veneta are adapting to shifting lifestyles by rethinking proportions for a more elevated and practic...

The best way to apply self-tanner The key to a great tan is what you do leading up to application — it’s all about prepping the skin beforehand. “The better condition your skin, the better your tan will look and last,” Evans says.

Smell and memory are so closely linked, that a whiff of a nostalgic scent can instantly conjure up emotions tied to a specific life event. Scientists believe this is due to the architectural layout of our brains: Olfactory signals reach the limbic system very quickly, triggering any scent-associated memories. This bodily connection may explain why we are such scent-driven beings — and often suckers for a good candle. When it comes to setting the mood or winding down into relaxation mode, few products are up to the task quite like your favorite candle. And with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, finding a luxurious candle or candle gift set to treat yourself is a no-brainer. What’s more, these also make foolproof gifts for loved ones. Simply choose a unique scent that will appeal to your giftee’s tastes or pay homage to a special memory. Different ty...

Grab your remote, sit back and relax; “House of Gucci” is now available to stream online. Although you can’t rent it just yet, you can currently buy it on Amazon Prime, Vudu and Apple TV. If you’d like to get your hands on an actual copy of the film, it will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray Feb. 22. Directed by Ridley Scott, the true crime drama tells the story of the Gucci family’s rise to prominence, following the history detailed in Sara Fay Gorden’s book, “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed.” The primary story arc of the film follows Maurizio Gucci, played by Adam Driver, as he falls in love and is eventually murdered by his first wife, Patrizia Reggiani, who is played by Lady Gaga. Supporting characters are portrayed by a bevy of other top A-listers, including Al Pacino, Salma Hayek and Jared Leto. Releas...

It can be glam or low-key, unnoticeable or show-stopping and matte or glossy, meaning there’s an option for everyone. And unlike with statement red lipsticks, applying nude shades doesn’t require too much precision. “The beauty of a nude lipstick is that you don’t have to be too exact, and it’s also easy to apply without a mirror,” says LA-based makeup artist Nikki DeRoest. And nude lipstick is highly personal; your perfect shade is based on your skin tone and undertones, natural lip color and preference for textures and finishes. The different shades of nude lipstick There are so many shades of nudes, and it’s entirely open for interpretation on exactly what is classified as a nude lipstick, says makeup artist Shayna Goldberg. However, she usually categorizes nude shades based on their undertones, which range from wa...

The best cashmere sweaters are cozy, plush and incredibly luxurious. Whether you own one or two — perhaps even upwards of six — they’re a timeless option when assembling outfits for work, leisure and every occasion in between. Even more, cashmere sweaters provide incredible warmth, making them ideal to wear in fall and winter (though they’re also plenty wearable in summer when the A/C is on blast.) But, there’s a code of sorts when it comes to shopping for the best cashmere sweaters. For starters, you may ask yourself, “What is cashmere, and how is it different from wool?” According to Naked Cashmere President and Creative Director Leslie Gifford, the simplest explanation is that “cashmere fibre comes from a goat and wool comes from sheep.” Specifically, cashmere’s soft and luxurious threads are derived from pashmina goats and are technically considered w...
