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...

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...
