4 Editors Test Out Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James BrandJune 21, 2023 at 11:10PMFrankly, we’ll buy anything that Reese Witherspoon makes - which is precisely why our editors have had the star’s clothing brand, Draper James, on our radars (and honestly, our shopping wishlists) for so long.The brand - much like Witherspoon herself - boasts an inimitable Southern flair that blends traditional patterns with more modern (and practical!) silhouettes; think scalloped swimsuits, gingham-centric workout sets, flounced floral tops, and versatile accessories like beaded earrings and a chambray headband that feels so Elle Woods-coded. The styles prioritize femininity, with pieces that are designed for every occasion and budget - though we’d argue that the styles really double as the perfect uniform for summer soirées and backyard hangs.With an Oscar, a catalogue of cult-favorite projects under her belt (“Sweet Home Alabama” forever!), and a string of…

24 Chic Outfits to Try If You Have a Small Chest

24 Chic Outfits to Try If You Have a Small ChestJune 21, 2023 at 09:00PMDressing a small chest can have its challenges - bras that never fit quite right and straps that seem to always fall down, to name a few - but it also has perks. For instance, you don’t even think twice about going braless. And you get to experiment with many silhouettes and shapes without worrying about nip slips.
