While it’s true that the fashion industry has made significant progress toward size inclusivity in recent years, it’s still nowhere near perfect. As the editor of a shopping-focused site, I do a lot of online window-shopping in search of the best things to add to my cart. While I’ve definitely noticed how the number of plus-size options offered has grown exponentially, there’s still a noticeable gap between what’s available in straight sizes versus plus sizes despite the fact that studies show the average dress size in the U.S. is between 16 and 18 (not a size 2, as the fashion industry would have us believe).

The seasons are a-changing soon which means one very important thing: sales. And one of the most important sales of them all just launched, but it’s only sticking around through Thursday, May 27. The retailer in question is Shopbop and the sale is its biggest markdown event of the year. Over 1000 designer items were just marked down by up to 50%, and your wardrobe is about to get 100% better.

Since this is a very time-sensitive sale, I spent the morning scouring through the goods in search of the special essentials I’d order ASAP if I was really going on a spree. And when I say special essentials, I mean those very versatile, yet very interesting and cool pieces that can be work again and again with many different outfits. Shopbop’s expert team of buyers are well-versed at finding these types of items, so the hard part here was … Read the rest

If you are obsessed with beauty like us, chances are your shelves have been blessed with renowned beauty and skincare brand Drunk Elephant. Tiffany Masterson, the brains behind the brand, founded the company with her unique skincare philosophy of ingredient elimination for a total skin reset by defining the “Suspicious 6,” which are six ingredients she believed were at the root of her skin issues. Today, her personal mantra has translated into the Drunk Elephant Difference.

In 2013, Masterson launched the brand direct-to-consumer with … Read the rest

I’ll put it like this: Even my 72-year-old father (who knows nothing about beauty aside from the occasional face mask I make him try) has heard of Glossier. The brand is just that well-known. If pressed, he could even list off a few of the biggest top sellers like Boy Brow (which he adorably calls “Boy Stuff”), Cloud Paint, and Balm Dotcom. Of course, he does have a beauty-obsessed wife and daughter, but when I asked him when and where he first heard of the brand, his reply was a perturbed, “Do you think I live under a rock?” (I suspect his addiction to scrolling through his Google feed, but what do I know?) Anyway, I digress.

Last year, The Cut reported Glossier’s worth at a cashmere-cozy 1.2 billion, and while the brand might be known for its syrupy shimmer and pink packaging aesthetic, it’s basically untouchable where product demand … Read the rest

As someone who doesn’t spend that much time wearing swimsuits, I prefer to spend more on fashion items I’m going to get a lot of use out of and less on swimsuits. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want a few new ones each summer. For this reason, I’ve become an expert at finding chic affordable bikinis and one-pieces, and I know that I’ll always find them at the nine brands below.

In case you’re wondering, I have a few criteria for what makes a good swimsuit brand. I really like it when a brand has a wide variety of styles. I prefer swimwear with a little more coverage, but I know that’s not the case for everyone, so plenty of options are key. I also love swimsuits that have special details that make them look ultra-expensive—like a belt or ruching—and perhaps most importantly, an under-$200 price point is key. … Read the rest

There’s something to be said for adorning yourself in pieces that make you feel joyful. I like to think about it as though I’m the main character in a movie, getting dressed before stumbling into a meet-cute and falling madly in love—the kind of happy, lucky, optimistic vibes we all deserve a little extra dose of right about now, do we not? Heading into this summer season, with everyone so damn ready to get dressed for more than a grocery run, we’re all shamelessly excited about Fashion (with a capital F) again, so it’s really only fitting that bold colors are the number-one trend in jewelry.

To get specific, it’s all about three key shades: ruby red, emerald green, and turquoise blue. My favorite fashion people are already on it, Who What Wear’s Editor in Chief, Kat Collings, included. I talked to Kat all about her love of jewelry, how … Read the rest

We’ve been setting our sights on the warm season ahead—and with summer just around the corner, it’s finally time to talk swimsuits. While we’ve already waxed lyrical about all the spring/summer fashion trends, now it’s time to delve into the swimwear trends. One trend that’ll be all over our feeds this summer is cutout swimsuits—a natural extension to the “skin is in” theme we saw in this season’s S/S 21 collections.

Of course, the revealing swimsuit trend is not exactly new to the scene. Cutout swimsuits have been in the limelight for a few seasons now—proving they have real staying power. This year’s iterations come in fresh silhouettes from side cut-outs at the midriff to cool keyhole cut-outs at the chest—giving the classic swimsuit or bikini a fresh new look. (Just don’t forget your sunscreen!).

If you’re ready to give the trend a whirl, keep scrolling as we share … Read the rest

As a regular gymgoer before the whole world turned upside down, it felt a little disheartening to say goodbye to my collection of cute workout clothes at the start of last year. I know most people consider leggings a wardrobe staple, but outside of the gym, I rarely ever wore them in a true sartorial sense. That was until I discovered Girlfriend Collective—the IG-famous cult activewear brand championed for its size inclusivity and ethically made workout clothes. In a feeble attempt to get enthused over working out at home (FYI: I hate home workouts), I bought a set from the brand after hearing so many glowing reviews from friends. I was not disappointed.

Although I quickly dropped working out at home, I kept wearing the set everywhere I went. It was a cool, figure-hugging alternative to sweatsuits, and the simple, elevated design made it easy to wear with any layer … Read the rest
