If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. No matter which way (or ways) your sense of style leans, you can never have enough jeans. They are the foundation of a cool, casual wardrobe. Levi’s — the staple brands of that staple item — makes some of the best women’s jeans on the market in a range of silhouettes, washes, cuts, and colors. And you can shop a ton of Levi’s product at a discount right now. Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon is rolling out some great deals that lead us up and into the big two days. Some of those sales are, dare we say, just as exciting as Prime Day itself. Right now, Amazon is having a secret sale on some of the best denim from Levi’s, including distressed jeans and cut-off shorts. Select Levi’s styles are on sale for up to 70-percent off. And although we are still keeping an eye out for the best Amazon Prime Day fashion deals, this is not a sale to sleep on.

You name it, it’s on sale.  Read on for all the details you need to know to save big with the best d

The 21 Best Retinol Products for Every Skin Type and Concern, According to Dermatologists

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Consider retinoids the superfoods of skin care. The ingredient is second only to sunscreen in wrinkle-fighting power, but it does more than that. These vitamin A derivatives also help to fight acne, refine texture, and fade dark spots, according to Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, dermatologist, Dr. Naana Boakye. To reap the maximum benefits, you need to use the best retinol products that work well with your skin, so you’re inclined to use it regularly. What is Retinol and What Does Retinol Do?  Retinol is one of several vitamin A compounds — commonly called retinoids — you can find over the counter to treat aging skin, explains New York City dermatologist, Dr. Joshua Zeichner. Other ingredients in the retinoid family include retinaldehyde and retinyl esters; they all work similarly. While these ingredients are cropping up all over the skin care market, they

The 21 Best Long-Sleeve Swimsuits for a Sleek and Safe Beach Day

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. If you’ve ever returned from the beach sporting a painful sunburn, you know the importance of protection when you’re spending all day outdoors. That can come in the form of a traditional cream or spray-on sunscreen, but long sleeve swimsuits are a popular alternative for keeping your skin covered, even in the water.  Over the years, one-piece swimsuits have been the most popular long-sleeve style, with many surfers and ocean swimmers opting for a wetsuit-like silhouette while in the water. But, at the moment, there are plenty of fashion-forward, long sleeved swimsuits from some of the most popular swimsuit brands — and we’ve even spotted some two piece long sleeve swimsuits, too. And as a bonus, a long-sleeve one piece can double as a bodysuit. After moving to Miami, Same Los Angeles founder Shea Marie explains, “I started to design more covered styles fo

Build Your Dream Team With Our Tips for Hiring New Employees

The process of hiring employees can be lengthy and frustrating. And in light of the pandemic, the role of the recruiter has become an entirely new game – one that requires a strategic approach and the use of the right tools, like ZipRecruiter, the #1 rated hiring site in the U.S., or an internal referral process, to get the job done. Not only have companies needed to adjust to a work from home structure, but also make considerations to expectations for doing so as they looking to onboard new employees. The Great Resignation, the term used to describe the mass exodus of employees last year, has also left a greater need to find new employees. According to a survey published by Pew Research Center, the “quit rate” in 2021 reached a 20-year high during this time with Americans citing low pay, lack of opportunity for advancement and feeling disrespected as top motivators. And as they seek new employment, people are not willing to settle for previous conditions, bringing new criteria for com

The 20 Best Curling Irons, According to Experts

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Unless you’re very lucky, you likely don’t wake up with gorgeous beach waves or shiny curls. Most of us have to take the time to swirl our strands around a barrel to achieve our desired waves, but even those who don’t care for curls can benefit from using one of the best curling irons. In fact, you can do quite a lot with a curling iron, aside from just shaping bouncy curls. You can also create mega volume, next-level shine and smooth out any frizzies — all with a quick flip of the wrist. With a curling iron, “you’ll always have a way to look good quickly,” says Leigh Hardges, hairstylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. “It’s a pretty fast way to enhance body in the hair and create lift around your face.” And, it’s worth investing in one that works well, as it “will show in the smoothness and overall polished style of the hair,” notes Alex Brown, who’s also a

The 10 Best Bed Sheets on Amazon for Your Dreamiest Sleep Ever

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. There is no detail too small when it comes to making your bed not just a functional piece of furniture in your home, but somewhere you go to rest your body — and really rest, too. Sleeping at home in your own bed deserves as much luxury and comfort as it does when you’re on vacation at a fancy hotel with a luxurious hotel bed. It’s time your bed at home got that same attention to detail. One of the things that makes climbing into a comfy bed so satisfying is the bed sheets. It might even be the thing. There is simply nothing as gratifying as brand-new, clean bed sheets that are cool to the touch as you get into bed. And why should that be a special experience? You should get that every single night. There are just a few logistics to keep in mind when you’re thinking about what gives you that kind of experience. Do you like light, airy sheets that feel lik

The 9 Best Electric Foot Massagers on Amazon for Total Relaxation

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Sore and achy feet are part of the human condition, and they are one that deserves love and attention. Mostly in the form of rest. And massages. We ask a lot of our feet on a day to day basis — get us up, down, and around, bear our weight while we walk, and keep us balanced when we work out. These aches and chronic pains can be exacerbated even more for people who stand all day — looking at you, parents, nurses and teachers — as well as people who wear uncomfortable shoes for work or for fashion. No judgement here.  Showing your feet some gentle attention through stretching, mobility and massage are the best ways to keep those aches at bay and prevent any chronic injuries from cropping up over time. When it comes to passive treatments, electric foot massagers are one of the best and most proactive ways to address these foot aches. There are a few general

Whether you’re headed to the coast of Italy or your local beach, there’s nothing more exciting than shopping for summer vacation.

The 15 Best Foundations for Acne-Prone Skin to Make Your Blemishes Invisible

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. We’ve all woken up on the wrong side of the bed — that is, with a breakout that’s seemingly emerged overnight. Acne is frustrating, and oftentimes, concealing it only adds to the headache. Some full-coverage options can clog pores and worsen the breakout, while others don’t provide enough camouflaging power. But stashing the right foundation in your makeup bag makes the whole process foolproof. We’ve selected the best foundations for acne-prone skin, from drugstore finds to luxury splurges, that provide enough coverage to even out your complexion without feeling heavy. Even better, many have pimple-fighting active ingredients, too. You’ll sleep better knowing that when acne emerges, you have a solid plan to put it undercover.

I Tested the New Dyson Airwrap That Delivers Shampoo Commercial-Level Volume and Shine

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Hair envy is a serious struggle. Can we all agree that ’90s shampoo commercials showing models with long, impossibly glossy, voluminous and smooth hair set us all up for unrealistic expectations? Contrary to what these commercials suggest, getting full, gorgeous hair like that is so not as easy as simply lathering up with their trendy new shampoo and walking out the door. And that’s probably a big reason why, after years of chasing my dream hair, I had all but given up. Yet when Dyson announced earlier this year that they were expanding their highly coveted line of hairstyling tools with the revamped launch of a 2.0 version of their bestselling and oft-sold out Dyson Airwrap, the optimist in me wanted to give it a whirl in hopes that, just maybe, this would be the Holy Grail of perfect, commercial-worthy hair.

Whether you’re shopping for an entirely new summer wardrobe this season or looking to invest in a couple key pieces, there’s a lot to take into consideration. From the seasons most sought after sandals, sexiest beach coverups, must-have sun dresses to the beach bag that will fit all of your essentials, no look is complete without a great sun hat for summer. As we gear up for countless weekends spent at the beach or strolling through the empty city by Citi Bike, it’s time to think about how to combat those harmful UV rays. It can be challenging to find the right sunscreen for your skin type, let alone the perfect bikini that you feel confident in.

And luckily for all of us, the days of a sunscreen residue white cast could very well be behind us, thanks to the burgeoning tinted sunscreens category.
