June 01, 2020 at 05:00AM Your shoe choice more or less determines how comfortable you’ll remain throughout the day. Regardless of how cosy your clothing selection is, if your pair of flats or sandals pinch ever so slightly, your comfort level will swiftly start to decline. In an effort to avoid such discomfort, we often tap podiatrists to shed insight on those current footwear silhouettes that won’t cause as much pain. Today, given that many are spending more time at home, we wanted to zero in on the best (and worst) shoes to wear around the house. We turned to Benjamin Tehrani, DPM, of Kings Point Foot & Ankle in Los Angeles for expert tips on the common styles that are okay and those that could cause some harm to your overall foot health. In addition, given that many of us do spend a lot of time walking barefoot around the house, Tehrani shed light on the pros and cons on that front, too. Without further ado, keep scrolling for a ranking of the best and worst at-home shoes. And if you’re shopping at the moment, you’ll find shoe recommendations that could be of interest as well. “Supportive sandals are preferred. I am impressed with styles like those from Birkenstock that have the ability to remain in style while also providing the best support in the arches that I’ve seen to date. They have a soft foot bed that has an integrated latex foam cushion that molds to your feet

Your Guide to the Key Trends for Summer 2020
May 31, 2020 at 08:30PM In this new decade, throwaway trends are becoming increasingly passé, and we are all looking for clothes that will have a lasting impact within a capsule wardrobe. The spring summer 2020 runways were notably more commercial than usual, with a focus on classic legacy buys rather than whimsical and artistic creations, which could potentially fall into the fad or impractical category. Every fashion buyer I have spoken to about the fashion week in September used the word “realistic” as the overarching theme. Another buzzword for spring 2020 fashion was “wearability”—a word I am usually loathe to use to describe clothes, given it is their basic function, but it’s an adjective that keeps being used to describe the aesthetic for spring 2020. Pictured above: The Row. The headlining trends will all seamlessly transition into many of our wardrobes and stay there for the foreseeable future. One of the most in-demand items for spring, for example, is a simple blue Oxford button-down shirt by The Row, along with bodysuits, little black dresses and relaxed suiting. “Keep it simple but never boring,” is how Moda Operandi’s Lisa Aiken sums up the tone of this sensible season. “The large majority of the runway collections have been incredibly wearable, the brands have showcased the ultimate wardrobing heroes in a new and interesting way: the suit, the Bermuda short, the white shirt, the tank top…” says Elizabeth von der Goltz, Global Buying Director at Net-a-Porter. Pictured above: Jacquemus Behind this desire for more classic, timeless pieces was a
25 Pyjamas That Are Ideal for Summer
May 31, 2020 at 06:00PM I’m really trying hard to not live in my pyjamas right now. But the lockdown world dictates that sometimes, even when you have the best intentions, you end up wearing your PJ’s well into weekend afternoons. As for during the weekdays, while I 100% get dressed for work in “normal clothes” (and no one can make me say otherwise), the transition into my sleepwear in the evening happens the moment I finish up at my desk. What I’m saying is, I live for the hours in my PJ’s. They’re the comfiest and most comforting of all clothes to wear, but that’s a lot of time spent in one outfit. And with warmer weather incoming (just ignore that rain outside your window), you need a decent summer set. Alexa wears Alexachung Ebeneezer Nightshirt (£75). Why? Well, here’s the only reason I think they’re important: They keep you cooler. Honestly, you can’t wear your thermals when it’s roasting outside. Sure, you could go for your birthday suit, but if you’re like me, you probably feel more comfortable with even a thin layer on. Behold, then, an edit of my favourite summertime pyjamas to keep you cool and fresh. And if they end up on your first Zoom call of the day, no one would guess you were wearing your PJ’s. Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2020 fashion trends you need to know. Author Elinor Block | Whowhatwear Selected by CWC

These 6 Celine Bags Will Always Be Chic
May 31, 2020 at 11:07AM Celine bags have been firmly in the crook of the arm or dangling from the hand of fashion aficionados for as long as we can remember and have always been considered a clever investment amongst those in the know. While the brand has given us many arm candy options to pine over since the ’60s, we think it’s fair to say that it was the fashion house’s former creative director, Phoebe Philo, who helped make its bags so covetable. And since Hedi Slimane took his seat in the director’s chair in 2018, he too has bestowed us with covetable Celine bag designs. Emma Hill wears a Celine Classic bag. So if you’re in the market to start your designer bag collection or are looking to invest in another, Celine should certainly come under your consideration. Specifically, we think the following bags are most worthy of your attention. Keep scrolling to discover the best Celine bags that have been designed to date. Be warned—you will want them all. With its clean lines and pared-back adornment, Classic makes for a very apt name for this Celine bag. This style made its way onto the market in 2011 and has been reissued every year since. We have our eye on the gorgeous green iteration. Created in 2009 under the watchful eye of the brand’s former creative director, Phoebe Philo, the Luggage’s conception was well-received in fashion circles as it didn’t sacrifice luxury for functionality and vice-versa. Celine’s 16 Bag is the first
I’ve Tried Basically Every Glossier Product—This Is What I Really Think
May 31, 2020 at 06:30AM The power of independent beauty brands really does know no bounds. Take every millennial’s favourite beauty brand, for example. Glossier is a privately owned beauty startup valued at over $1 billion. Not bad for a company that launched just over five years ago. The brand’s huge success is due in large part to founder Emily Weiss’s digital-first approach to both product development and brand marketing. Weiss has been able to harness the online community that she’d created via Into the Gloss and Glossier’s own Instagram page to encourage communication with customers and garner genuine feedback on everything from packaging to product type. If only Boy Brow came in giant size. In fact, Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser is the result of a post on Into the Gloss in which Weiss directly asked readers what their dream face wash would be like. This relationship between customer and brand has been a major disruption to the beauty industry as we know it—and consumers are beginning to expect this level of transparency from brands across the board. It’s one of the main reasons Glossier’s skin-first, makeup-second philosophy was such an instant hit with the Instagram generation. (Remember back in 2014 when was it was a landscape of HD brows and self-tanner?) Plus, there’s no denying that the brand’s aesthetic is millennial goals—who can argue with dewy skin, pale-pink packaging and free stickers with every order? When Glossier finally launched in the UK in October 2017, I went straight on the website to get
The Nail Colours the World’s Most Stylish Women Are Wearing Now
May 31, 2020 at 06:30AM When the weather gets warmer, it’s fun to mix things up with your nail colours. Buh-bye to the dark-red, navy, and black polishes of the moody winter months. You served us well. Hello to the bright and bold colours of spring and summer. It’s your time to shine. That’s not to say you can’t wear dark colours in warmer months and bright colours in colder seasons, but there’s something that just screams summer when you’ve got a bold manicure. There’s just something cheerful and optimistic about bright colours. And don’t we all need it right now? For inspiration, I asked some of the most stylish women we know for their favourite bright colours to wear on their nails. See what they said below, and add these to your wish list. Tamara Mory counts bright-red polishes as one of her go-to colours, along with burgundy, dark red, and nude when she wants something natural. “It’s pretty classic, but that’s what matches most of my outfits and I never get bored of. I usually wear OPI—it’s my favourite,” she says. A nail polish that’s described as watermelon is as bright and summery as it gets. Let your nails speak for themselves with a hot pink. OPI’s Telenovela Me About It is inspired by the vibrancy of Mexico City. It’s a dramatic pink that has a little bit of sparkle. “Yellow is such a happy colour! It brightens up your hands and makes you look more tanned. I am clearly obsessed
ASOS Has Created A Sage Maxi to Help You Dress Like Rachel Green This Summer
May 31, 2020 at 06:05AM As far as iconic Friends outfits go, there are few looks like turned heads quite like Rachel‘s sage green maxi dress. After all, the look was the culmination of an entire episode where the storyline revolved around her outfit indecisiveness (and we’ve all been there. Am I right?). Though the episode was a part of the show’s third season, airing in 1996, there’s something still so relevant about the look today, as this exact shade of sage green has become one of the 2020’s most in-demand summer hues. The minimalist cut of the dress is also very reflective of current trends, so much so that ASOS has recently released a linen maxi for Summer 2020 that looks almost identical to Rachel’s original look. Though the fabric is decidedly more breathable and warm-weather friendly, the silhouette certainly looks as if it may have been inspired by the iconic ’90s outfit. . Could the designers at ASOS have been mid-Friends binge while sketching the brand’s latest collection? We may never know, but if this image is anything to go by, it could be likely.

The One Beauty Product I Swear Gives Everyone Glowing Skin
May 31, 2020 at 06:00AM I’ll be honest: There are so many different types of beauty products around these days that it can be genuinely hard to keep up—and that’s coming from someone who used to be a beauty editor. So I can only imagine how confusing the constant stream of apparently miracle products can be to someone who just wants a decent set of skincare and makeup bits to make them feel their best. I’m very much someone who doesn’t like to over complicate their beauty routine and I’m all about skincare before makeup. My theory? If you take care of your skin, then you won’t want to use as much makeup. Which is why the tinted moisturiser has been a constant in my makeup bag. Not only does it give my skin coverage for any blemishes, but it also makes it feel and look moisturised. The problem is that there’s not just tinted moisturisers these days. There are BB creams and CC creams and even DD creams. Today, I’m going to tell you about CC creams, as I believe that they’re great for giving you glowing skin. Firstly, the CC stands for colour correcting—which I hope gives some idea of what the product does. It is, you guessed it, colour correcting. In beauty terms, this means that any redness or sallowness in skin tone can be balanced out to give a more overall even skin tone. And, unlike its older sister, the BB cream (blemish balm), CC gives
