Sorry, Solids, We’re Fully Committed to a Plaid Romance For Fall Thanks to These Old Navy Tops

October 12, 2021 at 07:00PM When temperatures drop, breezy cotton tanks are often hidden away, either under an oversize sweater or in a drawer. But just ‘cause the air turns crisp doesn’t mean you need to give up on those tops or immediately turn to soft sweatshirts instead. Choosing a flannel gives you a little extra warmth and buttons to keep showing off your favorite lower layers a little longer, too. However, when we spotted so many pretty plaid options available at Old Navy, we forgot the previous tops we considered a solid choice and honed right in on long-sleeved shirts to wear solo plus patterned pieces to pop under blazers as well. Ahead, see 16 picks that check off all the boxes so this fall can be the best you ever plaid. Related: 23 Old Navy Pants That’ll Simply Fall Right in…

Every Gem on Suni Lee’s Encanto Costume Was Shimmering During Her Salsa on DWTS

October 12, 2021 at 05:20PM It’s Disney week on Dancing With the Stars, and we’ve got over-the-top costumes, accessories, and dance moves aplenty! On Monday night, the dynamic dancing duos linked up for Disney Heroes Night, and we saw Cinderella and Prince Charming, Tarzan and Jane, and many more. But one of our favorite performances and costumes of the night came from Suni Lee and Sasha Farber, who danced the salsa to “Colombia, Mi Encanto” from the upcoming Disney movie Encanto, out this Thanksgiving. The dance floor lit up with colors, and the backdrop resembled the illuminated Casa Madrigal from the movie. With each twirl, flip, and step that Suni took, her costume shimmered just like Mirabel Madrigal’s in the highly anticipated Disney movie. Adorned with butterflies and floral designs, Suni’s sheer mock turtleneck and turquoise silk skirt looked extremely similar to Mirabel’s…

Zendaya Shares Her Favorite Red Carpet Looks and First-Ever Premiere Outfit From Target: “I Felt Cool”

October 12, 2021 at 04:38PM Zendaya and Image Architect Law Roach have been finessing the star’s approach to red carpet dressing for years now, often referencing iconic fashion moments throughout history. Together, and with the help of designers, they have created some fantastical works of art, so for Zendaya to name just three of her favorite outfits is a pretty big deal. But when speaking with InStyle editor-in-chief Laura Brown, she did just that, explaining specifically why she has such a strong connection to the clothes she wears: “I think about red carpets as having their own characters and narratives. We build a little story for all the looks. It’s like an extension of my acting career in a weird way - you just pop this wig on or whatever it is. Clothes sometimes are very emotional, so I get to embody these…

Getting to Know Bilal Baig, the Lead of CBC’s New Series Sort Of

October 12, 2021 at 02:00PM Photography By Keri Anderson/Courtesy of CBC Growing up in Mississauga, Sort Of co-creator and star Bilal Baig always had one weapon they could wield against their bullies: their sense of humour. “I discovered in middle school that I could make people laugh, and that helped them to stop laughing at me, and, rather, laugh at the thing I was impersonating or trying to poke fun at,” they say. “That was powerful in terms of trying to survive middle school, which can be a very difficult place to survive.” Performing may not have come easily, but the writing always flowed. They were 23 when their first play, Acha Bacha, premiered in 2018, which Baig describes as “a beautiful love letter to queer and trans brown folk.” Soon after, Baig met Queer As Folk alumnus Fab Filippo while working on…

Sorry, Skinny Jeans—This Denim Trend Is Going to Be Huge

October 12, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come spring. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans. More specifically, the silhouettes that are especially relaxed.In fact, since making an appearance again last year, loose-fitting jeans are still very much a present part of the autumn/winter 2021 line-up. Well today, we thought we’d dive in a bit deeper with some visual inspiration on how fashion people are wearing loose-fitting jeans because it’s continuing well into 2022, we think.

I Asked a Dermatologist How to De-Puff Eyes, and the Answers Really Work

October 12, 2021 at 08:00AM The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, so you want to be gentle with it. That means using the right products and avoiding rubbing, scratching, or pulling at the area. Because that area is so sensitive, you might also find yourself dealing with things like dark under-eye circles, dryness, and puffiness. The latter part is one thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, so I went to a dermatologist for some answers.In fact, puffy eyes are one of the most common concerns that patients bring to their dermatologists, says Kathleen S. Viscusi, MD, FAAD, FACMS, co-founder and partner at Dermatology and Surgery Specialists of North Atlanta (DESSNA). Treating puffy eyes is a bit more complicated than you would think. “Effectively addressing this concern for each patient is much more variable. Just as there isn’t…

This Low-Maintenance Haircut Is Set to Be Huge in 2021

October 12, 2021 at 08:00AM If you had asked any beauty insider back in January what the big hair trends for the year ahead would be, it’s unlikely anyone would have said grown-out roots, wonky fringes, and patchy box dye jobs. Yet here we are. The year is finally drawing to a close, and it’s safe to say that the face of beauty has changed substantially over the past 11 months, most notably when it comes to our hair. Whatever your signature style, whether you started the year with ice-white lengths or a sleek, glass-like bob, chances are 2020 has messed with your hair game.Sure, we all started this ride feeling optimistic that we would be able to return to our trusty stylists and get our signature locks back just as soon as things “blew over,” but as time has moved on so have our hair priorities.…

7 Autumn Accessory Trends That Are Already Taking Over

October 12, 2021 at 08:00AM I always used to believe I was a shoe person, until I realised I also equally appreciate bags, and earrings and any other type of accessory going, to be honest. It’s safe to say, when it comes to getting dressed there are no shortage of options for that final flourish these days, but deciphering which new styles to invest in is always a challenge because of the vast array available. It’s that time of year when the lines between seasons are blurred, and with summer sales making room for autumn pieces, it becomes tempting to plan ahead.This is why new-season accessories are a talking point already. While we’re not about to pack away straw bags and flat-forms for next year’s heatwaves just yet, we are ready to welcome items that can transform outfits, with minimal effort.
