How to Take a Street Style Photo, Per NYFW’s Elite

February 17, 2022 at 08:01PM Ignoring the fact that it’s currently the dead of winter, New York Fashion Week was bursting with wardrobe inspiration for Fall 2022. And as always, that inspiration isn’t exclusive to the runways. While neutral hues, tailored coats and cinched waists were trending on the catwalk, spring brights, bucket hats and balaclavas, and mix-and-match textures were all the rage on the streets. But that’s the name of the street-style game — you first have to be noticed before you can be photographed. And in a crowd full of well-dressed wannabes, it’s harder than it looks. In addition to picking up more than a few ideas for our next shopping trip, we also felt compelled to analyze the anatomy of a street style shot: How do you achieve that perfect, Instagram-worthy unposed pose? Fear not, we gathered our learnings for…

Old Navy’s Extra High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans Are Perfect For Spring

February 17, 2022 at 07:05PM I’m very fussy when it comes to jeans - and I firmly believe that’s the way it should be. But that’s not to say I’m out here dropping hundreds of dollars on designer denim. In fact, I’ve found pairs I love from none other than Walmart (yes, really) and, most recently, Old Navy. The retailer’s Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Ripped Wide-Leg Jeans For Women ($50) are my current obsession, and I firmly believe everyone needs them in their wardrobe for spring. These jeans check off all of my boxes. For starters, they fit me perfectly, which is great and all, but it’s the style that has me hooked. As someone who’s far from ready to jump on board the low-rise jeans trend, these make a strong case against doing so because they pair so perfectly with a blouse…

Midge’s Outfits in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” Season 4 Symbolize a Major Change in Her Career

February 17, 2022 at 05:55PM Miriam Maisel is back! And her outfits are better than ever. The fourth season of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Feb. 18, and it’s been far too long since we’ve last spent some time with our favorite plucky comedian and her fabulous wardrobe. To learn more about the fabrics, silhouettes, and spectacular designs we can expect from the new season, POPSUGAR caught up with the genius costume designer behind Midge’s fashion, Donna Zakowska. Fans of the show are familiar with the glamour and beauty found in Midge’s wardrobe, but what Zakowska does with the costumes of “Mrs. Maisel” is more than just a pretty-to-look-at vintage aesthetic; it’s storytelling. With her extreme attention to detail and rigid adherence to time-period specifics that better build the world of “Mrs. Maisel,” Zakowska plays a major role…

Zendaya and Tom Holland Effortlessly Coordinated Their Date-Night Outfits

February 17, 2022 at 05:25PM Thanks to their recent Spider-Man press tour, Zendaya and Tom Holland have shared a handful of stylish red carpet moments, but rarely a glimpse at more casual date nights. Following a few days of low-key outings in New York, the couple were photographed on their way to a screening of Holland’s new movie, “Uncharted.” As they walked hand in hand out of the Crosby Street Hotel, the pair revealed their subtle - yet conscious - outfit coordination. As is the case with everything she wears, whether it’s on the red carpet or walking around the city, Zendaya looked effortless in an oversize black button-down shirt, belted at the waist with a leather gold-buckled band. The “Euphoria” actor accessorized with black suede Louboutins and sheer black Wolford tights. Holland wore a fitted light-gray suit with a black turtleneck and…

Julia Fox Wears the Ultimate Revenge Dress + Other Viral New York Fashion Week Moments

February 17, 2022 at 03:05PM It always seems strange to celebrate fall and winter styles just as the weather starts to creep above negative numbers, but thus is the fashion cycle. As the first stop on the Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear world tour, New York Fashion Week set the bar high, despite missing a few of its mainstay designers like Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta for various COVID-related reasons. While the biggest social media sensation was undoubtedly Julia Fox and her runway debut for LaQuan Smith, sans ex-boyfriend Kanye West (followed closely by the joyful return of fashion’s favourite pretend socialite, Blake Lively), the actual clothing also caused a stir on TikTok. Y2K wares, tailored treats and minimalist colour palettes were some of the biggest trends to come out of the week, so it will be interesting to see if…

Every Time I Scroll on Instagram, These It Sunglasses Are Staring Back At Me

February 17, 2022 at 12:09PM It might only be February, but 2022 has already yielded its first trending accessory and, of course, it comes courtesy of Celine. The style in question is very classic in lots of ways, featuring an oval shape and hard-wearing acetate finish. You wouldn’t necessarily notice them in a crowd in the same way you would a logo-laden handbag, but that’s what we love about them. And while the sunglasses have been bestowed ‘It’ status this season, you know that you’ll bring them out year after year.Available in black, white and tortoiseshell, we’ve seen fashion types wear them with everything from casual sweaters and tailored coats to statement-making clashing prints. If that isn’t evidence of versatility then we don’t know what is. Plus, while they can’t exactly be described as 'affordable’, if you have always wanted to get a slice of the Celine action, then sunglasses…

We Think These Luxury Candle Brands Are Worth Spending a Little Extra On

February 17, 2022 at 09:49AM Up until a few years ago, I’d probably never spent more than £15 on a candle. This is unsurprising, considering I had gone from being a struggling art student to a still-struggling fashion assistant, whose minimum-wage salary didn’t afford me the luxury of spending £15 on a couple of days worth of food, let alone something I was going to burn away. But as I’ve grown up, so has (thankfully) my budget, and so has my obsession with candles.At any given time, I probably have four candles on rotation in my home—I type this as my £7.50 Marks and Spencer candle flickers next to me. And while I certainly don’t snub more affordable candles (my M&S bargain serving as a case in point), I have come to understand the appeal of expensive candles.Diptyque was my inaugural introduction to the world of expensive…

A Dermatologist Ranked the 3 Worst Body-Lotion Mistakes

February 17, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s anything I’m very strict about when it comes to my beauty routine, it’s my body lotion. I might forget a step in my nighttime skincare routine, but I never forget to put body lotion on after I shower or in the mornings, even I don’t shower. For the most part, it’s paid off. Aside from the occasional eczema flare-up on my hands, arms, or neck, I have pretty smooth skin. But since I’m a curious person and like to question everything, I wanted to know if there were some things I was missing when it comes to body-lotion application. So I reached out to dermatologist Naissan O. Wesley, MD, FACMS, of Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills to get her tips and to see what role body lotions play in reducing premature ageing or the signs of ageing.…
