8 Editors Share the One Investment Piece They Always Rewear

April 27, 2022 at 11:15PM There are a ton of benefits to rewearing your clothes. On a macro level, it helps to reduce waste, saving clothing items from landfills and increasing their lifespan. If you get more wear between washes, you’re helping to prevent plastic pollution - clothing made from synthetic materials can release tiny plastic fibers with every wash, which then ends up in waterways that eventually drift to the ocean. It also reduces your carbon footprint, since you’re using less water and energy. On a micro level, rewearing your clothes presents a fun challenge, inviting you to develop your personal style with foundational wardrobe pieces. How many times can you style your favorite denim jacket and make it look fresh? The answers will inspire you to flex your styling skills. Headed to the beach?

Lizzo is a Taurus Style Icon

April 27, 2022 at 09:04PM Hear me out, Lizzo is the definition of a Taurus. She’s down-to-earth, dependable and all about self care. The self-proclaimed Bop Star is a Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon — just like me, and I can attest to the downsides of being a double earth sign. When you mix the meticulous nature of the bull with perfectionist Virgo, you can easily veer into workaholic territory. Enter: creature comforts. Taureans know when to treat themselves, and in my case, it’s usually with a face mask and some sort of indulgent drink. In Lizzo’s case…Well, as they say on TikTok, we’re in a different tax bracket — but let’s be honest, she’s earned it. Between her award-winning records and influence on the world of inclusive fashion, Lizzo’s impact can’t be understated. And so, in honour of her 34th birthday, we’re taking…
