Hudson’s Bay Joins Growing List of Fashion Brands on Animal Crossing

May 29, 2020 at 09:47PM Much like Tiger King, baking banana bread and sharing your workout online, Nintendo’s Animal Crossing has become synonymous with our new socially distanced lives. The game has existed for more than 20 years, though the fifth installment, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, was released on March 20 of this year right as lockdown measures went into place across most of the globe. To date, it has more than 11 million users. The fashion industry was quick to jump on board: Valentino recreated a series of archival looks for the characters and Marc Jacobs designed a six-piece collection specifically for the game. Plus, creators are helping to bring some of the buzziest brands – think Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Gucci – to players of the game via dedicated Instagram pages like Nook Street Market and Crossing The Runway. Once users see an outfit they like, they simply put the design ID into the game and the clothes appear in their virtual closets. Now, iconic Canadian retailer Hudson’s Bay is getting in on the action. In celebration of its 350th anniversary this year, the brand has created digital versions of two pieces from its anniversary collaboration collection with Armor Lux for users to access in the game. Featuring the iconic HBC stripe, the Breton long-sleeve top and Breton merino wool sweater can be accessed via design codes shared on The Bay’s social media platforms. Speaking about the decision to collaborate with the game, Meghan Nameth, the senior vice president at the

Proof That Crop Tops Are For Everyone, and the Outfit Options Are Endless

May 29, 2020 at 09:36PM Crop tops are a funny thing – always there, always in style, but popular in different iterations each and every season. Even still, we don’t like to get rid of them because there are countless ways to wear them: over t-shirts, under oversize blazers, as part of a co-ord set, with high-rise denim, and the list goes on. Figuring out which type of crop top is best for your body type is key, and we have plenty of tips surrounding the matter at hand. We sourced some of our favorite street style stars – women with all different body types – to uncover some really strong, fashionable moments in crop tops and explain to you why they work, especially as the heart of the entire outfit at play. If you already own the basics when it comes to crop tops, like a fitted ribbed tank and a cute stretch tube top, I also provided you with some of my favorite styles available now, right after the jump. Personally, I’m taking a strong liking to bowling shirts that you can tie-up effortlessly and complete with a silk midi skirt and designs with floral prints and ruching for a subtle throwback to the ’90s. Scroll down to get ’em while they’re hot. Related: 8 Summer Trends You Don't Have to Wait to Wear Continue Reading… Author Sarah Wasilak | Popsugar Selected by CWC

These $38 Comfy Biker Shorts Are the Best Investment I’ve Made For Summer So Far

May 29, 2020 at 09:05PM Biker shorts seem to be a dime a dozen these days, so how do you find the best ones? Well I went on a mission to find out. I started this shopping journey because as I’m staying at home I’ve been mostly rocking sweatpants and leggings. As the weather warms, and my small apartment doesn’t have air conditioning, I’m trying to stay cool. A pair of comfy biker seems like the right way to go; something I can mix and match with anything around my house and rock outside, too. After searching endlessly on the internet, I found nothing that was fitting my bill. I wanted a design that didn’t feel like workout clothes and was breathable. Eventually, I came across the Yummie Mel Cotton Stretch Shaping Biker Shorts ($38) and they sold me for a few reasons. Not only are they made from breathable cotton, but they’re also a flattering choice. The shorts feature a two-ply signature waistband that help to hold you in and control your mid-section. This makes me feel more secure than ever. But the one thing that makes my favorite is that they’re just so comfortable. The brand designed these shorts after its bestselling leggings. Made to slim your hips and keep you feeling your best, you just can’t go wrong with this affordable option. I find myself wearing them all day around the house, on walks outside, and running errands. If you’ve been on the hunt for your next
