These Are the Clothes Our Fashion Editors Are Lounging Around in All Summer Long
June 01, 2020 at 03:15PM The feel-good thrill of summer always puts us in the mood to get dressed in outfits that boost our confidence. We want to try out new swimwear brands, play with different shorts lengths, and let our toes breathe in cute new sandals. Turns out, despite what our summer routines may look like, this year isn’t any different. We still feel inspired to wear clothes that make us happy. Since we aren’t dressing up to go out to any fancy events, our wardrobes are just a touch more comfortable, but they don’t skimp on style. (Take the above jeans from Frame, for example, which are a trendy new style called the Le Baggy – essentially as roomy as your sweats!) We rounded up the stuff we’re wearing at home that makes us want to stop and take a selfie every time we walk past the mirror. From jewelry you can use to layer over your blouses for Zoom calls to lightweight linen jumpsuits we could basically sleep in – or enjoy a glass of wine outside on the porch – these are our fashion must haves that we’re carrying with us through the end of the summer and beyond, and truthfully, a lot of them will probably make it onto our Instagram feeds.

Torrid’s Pride Collection Has It All: ’90s Bike Shorts, Tie-Dye, and Rainbow Mickey Sneakers
June 01, 2020 at 02:36PM Torrid just launched its 2020 pride collection, which includes 18 different pieces all rooted in ’90s style. What’s more, Mickey Mouse even makes an appearance, so this is definitely a range worth checking out. The fashion label for curvy sizes 10-30 has aptly tagged this new release “Celebrate Love,” and 20 percent of all sales will go to the Torrid Foundation in support of GLAAD, an organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ acceptance globally. Torrid also gives customers the ability to donate to GLAAD through its foundation directly upon checking out on the site. Aside from the fact that we like seeing a brand founded on the idea of diversity supporting the pride community, we’re also pretty stoked to shop from this assortment of loungewear that packs a punch, especially since these cotton separates are everything we want to be wearing right now. It’s important to note that if you see something you love, you should snag it while you can, because the full line will only be available on torrid.com through June 30, and the friendly price point is definitely reason for these cute tees, sweats, and dresses to sell out. The bike shorts go for $20 and the collection caps off at $70 for the Disney rainbow canvas sneakers, to give you an idea. Scroll down to sort through our favorite pieces, and shop the full lineup at torrid.com. Related: Puma Is Dropping a Pride Collection With Cara Delevingne, and Wow, I Need Those

How I Finally Embraced My Androgynous Style
June 01, 2020 at 11:00AM Image Source: Elaine Oyzon-Mast First let me preface this story with one cold, hard fact: I’m in my 40s. I am not and never was a supercool, 20-something lesbian with an awesome sense of style and an even more awesome wardrobe (think Ruby Rose – I sure do, A LOT). The truth is, when I was in my 20s, I was far too afraid to be who I wanted to be, to dress how I wanted to dress, and to quit giving a sh*t what other people thought. The older I got and the more confident I became with the person I was, the less I cared about what others thought. I let too many years go by trying to be someone else, being uncomfortable in my skin and in my clothes. But I’m proud to say that I’ve finally developed a sense of style that doesn’t just allow me to hold my head up, it also gives me the confidence that conforming to social norms never did. I’ve never been a girlie girl. My whole life I have been the epitome of a tomboy. For as long as I can remember – long before I knew I was gay at age 18 – I have struggled to find clothes I was comfortable in. At primary school dances, when every other little girl was wearing a dress, I couldn’t think of anything worse. One year, I went in (homemade) MC Hammer pants and a t-shirt
