April 23, 2020 at 06:03AM Over the years, we’ve introduced you to a plethora of lingerie and underwear trends. You might not have known that cage underwear is a thing and string undergarments are popular again, but when we spot a complicated or interesting lingerie trend we’re here to share it. Today we’re adding to the list and showing you the latest trend to spark our attention. Enter naked underwear—but let’s not limit it to underwear since we’ve also seen the look designed on bras as well. What exactly is naked underwear? Just what you’re picturing: nude lingerie made to have an illusion of looking bare, barely there, or see-through. This can be through mesh lining or embellishments with slivers of “naked” details. Popular lingerie brands like Fleur du Mal and For Love & Lemons are leading the pack designing styles like the Pastille panties and the below Lemon Drop thong. Enough with the explanation—scroll down to see the newest undergarments trend to hit the lingerie world. The embroidered daises here are so pretty. These also come in two different colors. You can’t go wrong with a matching set. Not your average black bikini bottoms. For Love & Lemons true designs the pretties lingerie. Subtle “naked” cutouts here. Sometimes you just want something simple. Remember when we introduced you to this complicated trend? Shapewear is getting in on the trend too. On sale La Perla? We’ll take it. String thong chicness. You can always count on Hanky Panky for comfort. Figs is a new lingerie brand

13 Cool Aussie Brands Fashion Girls Secretly Love
April 23, 2020 at 06:00AM Where are fashion girls to go when they are sick of everything in their closets in addition to all their go-to shopping destinations? Down Under, to the land of the Aussies, of course. We often associate Australia with sun, fun, and everything they entail, but what we frequently fail to realize is just how objectively fashionable it secretly is (to us at least). So much so that you might end up ditching all your favorite go-to retailers once you read up on what’s been hiding on the distant continent. To preface this, the amount of extremely stylish Aussie brands seemed endless, making choosing the ones to showcase here today particularly difficult, but since we feel like we know you well enough by now, the brands ahead are ones we think you’ll draw a liking to. While some of these may ring a bell due to sightings on some of your favorite celebrities, others will be excitingly foreign. From swimwear to ready-to-wear to accessories, get ready to shop the Australian brands fashion girls are already obsessing over and that you soon will be too.

April 23, 2020 at 06:00AM Don’t look now, but the summer months will be here before you know it. And that can only mean one thing: It’s time to start shopping for your swimwear. This time of year can often be lovingly referred to as “bikini season,” but if you’ve been taking note of the latest swimwear trends to surface this season, you’ll quickly learn that its one-piece counterparts are having a major moment. And after just one look at the best one-piece swimsuits on the market, you’ll see that they’re better than they’ve ever been.

This Is the One Skincare “Scam” I Just Can’t Quit
April 23, 2020 at 06:00AM In the ever-evolving skincare industry, there’s a constant influx of information that isn’t always the easiest to make sense of. On any given day, you can find dozens of articles praising so-called miracle ingredients, ones presenting the latest and greatest in anti-aging, and everything in between. But there are some topics in this realm that continue to spark debate among skincare professionals, editors, and enthusiasts. One such topic is sheet masks. Do they work? Are they a complete scam? What’s the deal? A simple Twitter search will turn up endless threads of impassioned debates on this practice that gained popularity in the U.S. as Korean and other Asian beauty regimens took hold stateside. While these skin-prioritizing communities have touted the benefits of sheet masking for generations, there are skeptics out there who think sheet masks do little more than let product sit on top of your skin. Some of the commonly noted benefits of sheet masks are hydration and improved product absorption, but some actually believe that when left on too long, these masks can actually pull moisture out of your skin. Just like with any other skincare practice out there, there will always be opposing schools of thought on their efficacy. But for this editor, sheet masks have been a true godsend that leaves my sometimes-dehydrated skin hydrated, plump, and glowy. I fully subscribe to the power of sheet masks! For those who agree, or those who want to experience firsthand what all the fuss is about, check out this edit of the
8 Simple Ways You Can Get Involved in Your Community, According to an Activist
April 23, 2020 at 06:00AM I don’t know about you, but in recent years, I’ve gotten the urge to be more present in my community. Sure, I was literally present where I lived, meaning I was alive and residing in the neighborhood. But I mean more like trying to figure out what I could bring to the table in terms of my time, finances, skills, etc. I wanted to look for ways to be more active and feel like I was actually doing my part. The urge wasn’t all centered on my political beliefs, but it was more about service and how I can show up for others. In the most woo-woo way, how could I be a better citizen of my community, city, state, country, Earth? But of course, for me and maybe for a couple of others out there, there was always an excuse, right? I was too busy at work to take on a big time commitment. I didn’t know where to start or which organizations to join, and it felt too overwhelming to really figure that out. I was intimidated by joining a new group, even though I consider myself quite the extrovert. The excuses went on and on. Then almost a year ago, I moved back to my hometown of Los Angeles after 12 years in New York City. So I was in a new yet familiar environment, starting a brand-new job, moving back in with my mom before finding my own apartment… basically a lot of life changes to get
7 Celebrity-Hairstylist Tricks for Red Carpet–Worthy Ponytails
April 23, 2020 at 05:09AM I’ve been a ponytail enthusiast ever since I can remember. For me, the simple style checks all the boxes. It’s quick, easy, and I can switch it up depending on my mood. But as avid ponytail-wearers are likely aware, this five-minute style can get boring after a while. At a certain point, it can start to feel like throwing your hair up into the same style you wear to the gym just isn’t sophisticated enough for work. Not to mention the potential damage from constantly using hair ties. To this, my friends, I say that all you need is a little education. Red carpets are one place where ponytails get dressed up in ways we don’t often see. From long, flowing ‘dos to messy, effortless looks, hairstylists come up with some truly imaginative (and truly chic) iterations of this classic style. That’s why I called in celebrity hairstylist and OGX brand ambassador Jesus Guerrero and celebrity hairstylist and Maui Moisture brand ambassador Nikki Nelms to walk us through some of the most iconic ponytails they’ve whipped up for their A-list clientele. Each of these stylists has portfolios filled with the most enviably snatched ponies, so you know they’ve got endless knowledge for taking your looks from basic to beautiful in no time at all. Ahead, check out their top tips for creating the easiest, most professional-looking ponytails to show up and show out at your next Zoom meeting. How to Style It: Guerrero says that above all, gel and firm-hold hair spray are the keys
I Try Hundreds of New Makeup Products, But I Still Use 9 of My College-Era Picks
April 23, 2020 at 05:09AM Before I was a beauty editor, (surprise!) I was obsessed with beauty. I always had big dreams of working for a glossy magazine or digital outlet, and my goal of becoming an editor/makeup savant felt twisted into my DNA. (For those who don’t know, I interned for Byrdie during college, and it’s where I eventually scored my first gig in the world of beauty writing.) I’ve learned a lot since I began my journey in the editorial industry, but I’d like to think I trained with Olympic-level focus all through high school and college. To my parents’ chagrin, I’d promptly cash babysitting checks in exchange for a holy-grail Clé de Peau Beauté concealer, and I’d compulsively save up for all the exciting new launches makeup artists and editors touted in my favorite magazines like Allure or Cosmopolitan. (Funny enough, I’m now good friends with many of said editors and makeup artists!) I was on a first-name basis with the staff at my nearest Sephora, and I was obsessed with the hunt. Whether it was finding the best bronzer or the most flattering shade of blush or lipstick, I wouldn’t rest until I had found the diamond-in-the-rough product worthy of my PB&J budget. Things did (but also didn’t) change once I became a beauty editor. Of course, I was still testing and carefully critiquing tons of beauty products on a regular cadence, but the sheer volume of formulas increased exponentially. I quickly neglected my collection of carefully scouted,

7 Trend-Proof Items Models Have Always Worn
April 23, 2020 at 05:05AM Models have always been some of the world’s most stylish beings. It makes sense, given that they’re always surrounded by the latest designs and trends. They’re privy to what’s to come in fashion before anyone else and they work closely with designers and stylists, and it shows. It was the ’90s when supermodels really became superstars, and started influencing how everyone dressed. With the prominence of Instagram and street style, that’s become even more of the case in recent years, and it’s hard to ignore the similarities among the trends that It girls of today like Kaia Gerber and Elsa Hosk wear compared to It girls of the past, like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. We just studied tons of outfits worn by models now and then and spotted seven classic trends that have stood the test of time. See how they wore them over the span of time and shop them for your own wardrobe below. Sure, plain white T-shirts will always be the most popular style, but graphic tees—especially logo and concert ones—have proven to have longevity over the decades, and wearing one is an easy way to add some personality while staying comfortable. On Tyra Banks: Calvin Klein T-shirt On Kendall Jenner: Each x Other Amanda Wall Charity Collaboration Tokyo T-Shirt ($99); Staud Tommy Bag ($250) Denim trends quickly come and go, but straight-leg jeans are always cool and safe. The most model-off-duty way to wear them is with a white top and flats.
25 Basics That Are So Good Nordstrom Can Barely Keep Them in Stock
April 23, 2020 at 05:04AM Here’s a shocker to no one: I’m a frequent Nordstrom shopper. During my weekly—often daily—visits to the retailer’s site to shop for products I want to feature in my stories (or even treat myself to a little wardrobe update), I’ve become well-acquainted with their wardrobe basics. So well-acquainted, I might add, that I tend to notice when the stock starts to dwindle on certain items or when they sell out entirely. I decided to put all my knowledge of these best-selling Nordstrom basics to work in this roundup. To no surprise, they all happened to be the ones that come highly rated by Nordstrom shoppers, proving that they really are quite versatile and—above all—affordable. Based on my findings, I thought it would be silly not to share these popular pieces with you. You might even recognize a few of the T-shirts, tanks, jeans, and shoes you see here since I also have the intel that many WWW readers have bought them, too. The order histories and amazing reviews don’t lie. These 25 basics are the real deal. But don’t just take my word for it—scroll through the below list to discover them all, and then click in to read the reviews and you might just find yourself so inclined to place an order, too. Happy scrolling (and shopping)! Just the name “whisper” makes me believe that this easy tee is soft and light. Stripes make everything look a bit cooler. A solid crewneck tee that
