Good American Just Launched Compression Denim Jeans That Blend the Comfort of Sweats With the Power of Shapewear

Have you ever wished you could blend the comfort of sweatpants, the support of shapewear, and the compression element of workout clothes with the look of your favorite women’s jeans? Well, now, thanks to Good American, you can. Today, Good American, the Emma Grede and Khloé Kardashian-backed label, launched a new denim compression system that includes the brand’s best-selling silhouettes like Good Icon, Good Legs, and Good Waist, all newly constructed with proprietary denim fabrication.

The 24 Best Bodysuits for Every Style and Occasion

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’re two for one,” says Jacqueline Zenere, a celebrity stylist who dresses Olivia Palermo and Ashley Benson. “Skip the underwear if you dare.” Keep scrolling to shop the best bodysuits for women.

The 29 Best Bralettes for Every Bust Size

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 (sometimes referred to as a wireless bra) excels. Ahead, we highlight the best bralettes worth shopping now.

The 21 Best Fall Jackets and Coats for Women to Layer Over Any Outfit

Fall dressing can be tricky to navigate, especially when it comes to choosing coats and jackets for the season. As the outermost layer of an outfit, a fall jacket or coat is not only what makes the first impression when you step out, but it also bears the task of having to complement the majority of your clothing while simultaneously weathering all elements. That’s why investing in a women’s fall jacket is a decision you should put extra thought into.  The good news? There are endless stylish jackets for women to choose from that never go out of fashion and can easily work with new trends, Marta Gramaccioni, Head of Buying at Luisaviaroma, tells WWD. “Each season, heritage brands such as Max Mara, The Row, Valentino, Isabel Marant and emerging brands like Wardrobe.NYC and Blazè are recognized for their classic outerwear pieces, but this year they’re doing them exceptionally well.” From casual wear to formal wear, these fall coats have us covered. Looking for a cute women’s jacket to pu

The 20 Best Designer Tote Bags That Carry It All

Call them the white T-shirt of accessories, a designer tote bag is a desirable piece of arm candy that ticks off all the boxes of what a designer handbag should be. This enduring style is a classic with its skillful blend of polish and practicality. A designer tote bag can last forever, become a valuable heirloom, and never feel like a regretful purchase. This trusty bag will safely house all your everyday essentials — more than a crossbody bag can — and provide a stylish accent to your wardrobe basics. Bottom line: Every woman should have at least one solid tote bag in her arsenal.

Skims Just Launched a New System of Bras That Seamlessly Mold to Your Body

You know that liberating feeling you get when you come home from a long day, unhook your bra, and say, “ahhhh.” Well, Kim Kardashian knows that scenario all too well, too. Luckily, today, the cult-favorite shapewear brand Skims is dropping a new system of bra solutions that aren’t restricting, nor have you looking forward to tearing them off.  Over the last three years, Skims has been designing all kinds of bras with the most innovative technology and the comfiest materials to deliver the “best support while feeling like you’re wearing nothing,” says Co-founder Kim Kardashian in the official teaser video.

Drybar Just Released Its New Straight Shot Blow-Drying Flat Iron

Sleek, sultry, straight hair can make a significant impact. It’s the style that’s always on-trend, looks chic with everything from a flowy dress to joggers and a hoodie, and works on every hair type. But, while you can go to the salon to achieve the look, there’s nothing like accomplishing it at home. Luckily, today, Drybar is launching its brand-new Straight Shot Blow-Drying Flat Iron that combines two staple blowout tools: the structure of a flat iron with the airflow of a blow-dryer. The result? Salon-worthy straight hair with natural body and less frizz.  Drybar’s Straight Shot tool sends all hair strugglers packing — and at $179, it costs less than the Buttercup Blow-Dryer and Reserve Vibrating Flat Iron. The new tool uses the same hair-drying, frizz-reducing ionic technology and nylon tufted bristles. Still, it’s packaged in a slim, ergonomic, lightweight design that’s perfectly sized for travel and makes a great gift idea for women on your holiday shopping list. However, the wet

Amazon Is Having a Secret Sports Bra Sale Just in Time for Fit Girl Fall

Like trusty workout leggings, a sports bra is a wardrobe essential that anchors a look and supports you during active moments — whether running errands or working out. Of course, like other foundational pieces, certain styles suit different needs.

The Best Minimalist Jewelry Brands for Everyday Rings, Studs, Necklaces and More.

The most intriguing part about minimalist jewelry is that, depending on who you ask, it is something entirely different for everyone. To some fashion lovers, it’s simple and dainty pieces that may include minimal diamonds, mixed metals, tiny stud earrings, or perhaps a chunky solid-silver ring. To others, it can include a 4-carat diamond tennis necklace, 24K gold ear cuff, a heavy, solid, 14K gold chain-link bracelet, and perhaps even an emerald tennis bracelet for a hint of everyday color. While the minimal jewelry trend might not include large, colorful stones and ornate in-your-face detailing, one thing you can count on is subtle details that require just as much expertise and craftsmanship as something more blingy. There are countless jewelry brands that fashion insiders, influencers, and celebs go to for their favorite minimal pieces. While some brands pay close attention to sustainable practices, inclusive sizing, and price ranges, the beauty of minimal jewelry is that it will al

The 24 ​​Best Makeup Bags, According to Experts

When it comes to the best makeup bags, size matters. After all, any good beauty lover has more makeup products than they can count and keeping them organized is always the goal. Who wants to waste time digging around a bottomless pouch looking for your favorite lipgloss? And while large makeup bags are a godsend, there’s actually a wide world of options for cosmetics bags to meet every need and product. Whether you’re looking for a big makeup bag or a smaller makeup pouch, there’s no one-size-fits-all option. Before you begin your hunt, it’s important to ask yourself a few questions first. Start with honestly asking yourself whether you are a minimalist or a maximalist. If your routine is precise and streamlined, like say just a lipstick, eyeliner and concealer, you can get away with a mini makeup bag that will hold these smaller items. However, if you’re the type who likes to have options on your person at all times, then a full-on makeup tote or a makeup bag with compartments is like

The 29 Best Women’s Sweatpants for Working Out, Lounging, and More

Women’s sweatpants have certainly come a long way. 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 aughts 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 with a white T-shirt, bodysuit, hoodie or sports bra 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.

Elsa Hosk’s Ugg Outfit Is the Epitome of Low-Key Cool

Trendsetter and supermodel Elsa Hosk never fails to deliver Pinterest-worthy fashion inspiration that’s the epitome of “je ne sais quoi.” Her street-style outfits are chic, effortless, comfortable, and easy to recreate, even if some pieces don’t fit the budget. However, when a style icon like Hosk wears something that is affordable, it’s worth taking sartorial notes. In this case, the new Ugg boot has grabbed our attention, which both Hosk and fellow model Gigi Hadid were spotted wearing during New York Fashion Week. The Classic Ultra Mini Platform is a shearling-lined boot with a low ankle profile and a 2-inch platform. Though you could recreate this look with any pair of Ugg Minis in your closet, the platform adds a touch of drama to your relaxed fit and a much-appreciated boost in height. Hosk stepped out in the Ugg boots with a cashmere skirt and cardigan set from her new ready-to-wear label, Helsa, and accessorized the set with cozy socks and cat-eye shades. If you think this is j
