11 Brands That Prove Gorgeous Lingerie Shouldn’t Cost a Fortune

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

According to J.Lo, This Is the Most Stylish Way to Wear Joggers This Year

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a jogger look that she mastered.There’s nothing new about people wearing sweatpants outside the house, especially over the past couple of years. We thought we’d covered every possible jogger outfit trend imaginable, but J.Lo just found another one, and it’s particularly fresh for 2022. The reason? She paired an oversize bomber jacket—from & Other Stories, no less—with her grey baggy sweats and Nike Air Jordans. You probably remember that bomber jackets were absolutely everywhere at one time, but did you know they’re a thing again? Only this time around, it’s…

J.Lo and Alessandra Ambrosio Endorse the “Risky” Trend That Could Rival Leggings

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Leggings are a wardrobe staple we’re not sure we could ever live without. When you’re lounging or heading to a workout class, there’s really nothing else that comes close to them in terms of comfort and versatility—until now. It’s not that leggings are going anywhere, but there's a new athleisure trend emerging that may jeopardize their long-standing reign: activewear bodysuits.If the thought of wearing a bodysuit (and nothing layered over it) scares you, you’re not alone. It's a rather divisive trend, to say the least. But sure enough, the celebrity crowd has already taken to wearing bodysuits in place of their leggings. We recently spotted Jennifer Lopez and Alessandra Ambrosio—two celebs who are seemingly always en route to the gym and clad in leggings—testing out the trend. They both opted for the same bodysuit from Beyond Yoga, a black capri-length one-piece with a halter tank–style top.We’re well aware that…

3 Beautiful Lingerie Trends Everyone Will Wear in 2022

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Let’s face it: We spend so much time putting our everyday outfits together and reading up on and shopping the latest fashion trends that lingerie seldom gets a look in. When you’re pushed for time in a morning, those final five minutes before you rush out the door (or to your home office if that’s still the case for you) are typically dedicated to final applications of makeup or choosing which shoes go best with the rest of your ensemble. More often than not, underwear is an afterthought. But that shouldn’t be the case. Like with every other garment or accessory we wear, there are trends worth paying attention to. After all, as satisfying as it is to know that you’re killing it in the outfit department, isn’t it even more satisfying to secretly know that your underwear is equally on point?…

I Tried 60 Samples of Expensive Beauty Products in 30 Days—Here’s What I’d Buy

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM I should probably start by clarifying: Even pre-COVID, 50% of my job entailed unboxing, testing, reviewing, and retesting beauty products. This is not a luxury I take lightly, and while it might seem like a mundane task, my fellow beauty editors and I take a lot of pride in our ability to test and provide thoughtful feedback. (We quite literally receive hundreds of packages each month, so you can understand how this makes up a big part of our job!) Some of this feedback is just between the three of us on Slack, some of it goes to a brand’s PR team or even its CEO, and a lot of the time, it comes directly to you!With so many swipes and swatches under my belt, it takes a lot to impress me, and I’ve admitted on more than one occasion that I’ve…

Here’s What a Dermatologist Really Thinks About These 6 Viral Skincare Products

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

If You Thought These 24 H&M Items Were Designer, I Wouldn’t Blame You

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM It can’t just be me—I had to do a double take when I saw these H&M finds because they’re just so stunning. Perusing the site’s new arrivals is a weekly activity of mine, and on my latest visit, I came across more than a few finds that actually stopped me dead in my scrolling tracks. While most of these pieces fall under the ÂŁ150 mark, I wouldn’t blame you for assuming otherwise.As a fashion editor, I have a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details, and since I’m always looking at designer clothing, I can easily spot those luxe details elsewhere. And the H&M pieces you’re about to see below immediately reminded me of something I would see on a luxury retailer, whether it’s a buttery-yellow sweater or a pair of polished knee-high boots.To see them for yourself and shop all of the expensive-looking items in…

Trust Us—If You Only Get One Haircut This Year, Get This One

February 20, 2022 at 08:00AM When the now-popular shag haircut started garnering attention towards the end of 2020, we knew it would be the sort of hairstyle that would stick around. You see, over the past couple of years, how we approach our hair has totally changed. For starters, we want our hairstyle of choice to be as effortlessly wearable as possible. Pre-2020, we were used to reaching for heat-styling tools every single day, nowadays, we’re feeling much more comfortable simply embracing our natural texture. On top of this, we’re also leaning towards styles that don’t require regular salon appointments. After spending the best part of a year unable to get salons, it’s safe to say we’re appreciating low-maintenance styles more than ever. And it is for those two reasons that the shag was bound to become a go-to style.Supermodel Julia Stegner’s long shag haircut is…
