If you’re looking for a swimsuit style that screams quiet luxury, look no further than the one-piece. Along with being a timeless classic, it’s a great way to elevate your beach or poolside look and stand out from the sea of bikinis. Plus, has anyone ever told you how flattering they can be?
One-piece swimsuits have come a long way from the “boring” black suit we often associate with childhood swim lessons. The 2023 update is alluring and an instant confidence boost. From intricate cutouts to exciting color blocking, there’s a style to suit even the girl who lives for an itsy-bitsy bikini. If you want to turn heads and ensure you look expensive at the beach, try one of these 29 one-piece swimsuits.
Chemical and mineral sunscreens work differently to protect against sun damage. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays that hit our skin, converting those rays into heat that is released from the body. Mineral formulas, on the other hand, sit on the skin’s surface and reflect the sun’s damaging rays. Today, we’re focusing on the many benefits of investing in a mineral sunscreen for the face, highlighting everything from formulas and ingredients to price points and popularity.
“There are numerous benefits to adding mineral sunscreen to your daily skincare routine,” Love Sun Body CEO Terry Zickerman says. “Mineral filters are not absorbed into the plasma, and for consumers concerned with the hormonal effects of chemical UV filters, zinc oxide or zinc oxide and titanium dioxide formulas are best.”
Zickerman founded Love Sun Body to create a safe, effective, and environmentally-friendly line of mineral sunscreens. In 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed a clinical study had found negative effects of six popular chemical sunscreen additives entering and remaining in the bloodstream. The good news? Mineral sunscreens are safe to use on the skin and trusted to provide broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays. Not only are they a must-have for anyone with acne-prone skin), but they’re also immediately effective, with no wait time required after application.
“Because of their antibacterial properties, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide UV filters can also be calming to your skin,” Zickerman explains. It also helps mineral sunscreens are less likely to clog your pores, have a longer shelf life, and can easily be combined with other skincare products for an effortless and natural-looking finish.

The stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index SPX, has struggled to maintain the rally that began in mid-March, and now we are getting new sell signals from some of our internal indicators.
SPX was turned back by resistance near 4200 for the third time since last August. That is an extremely strong resistance area now. Moreover, there is further resistance at 4300. On the downside for SPX, there is technically support at 3970, where the small gaps exist on the SPX chart. A close below 3950 would be extremely bearish and…
Heat protectants protect your hair from damage caused by hot tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons. They can act as a barrier between your strands and heat by sealing in moisture. Most are also designed to prevent hair breakage and smooth out frizz or flyaways. Although you don’t necessarily have to use a spray form of one, those are often great for covering larger amounts of hair.
Picking the right heat protectant for you depends on your hair type. If you have straight, fine hair, you’ll want to select one that’s light but hydrating and won’t leave it limp. Some with extremely fine strands might even want to select a volumizing heat protectant to add body to the hair. Curly and coily hair types will want to go for a heat protectant that’s extra hydrating since textured hair types are drier in nature. Dry hair and hot tools already don’t mix, so key moisturizing ingredients to look for include shea butter, jojoba oil, and abyssinian oil.
Celebrity hairstylist Derek Williams also says there are a few things you should avoid when shopping for the best heat protectant spray. “When it comes to shopping for heat protectants, make sure to avoid those that have silicone or alcohol as the primary ingredients.” he says. “Alcohol is used to get hair to dry quicker, but it can dry your hair out. Silicone is used to coat the hair to give it a silky finish, but over time, it can actually dry hair out and cause breakage.” Keep scrolling for the best stylist-recommended heat protectants and picks for each hair type.
This is about the time of year when I start itching for a different hair color. When the seasons start to change, I always feel it’s only fitting if my hair changes with them. My hair has been the same color for a few years, and I think it might be time to try a new trend. If you’re feeling the same way, I’ve got you covered. I decided to tap a celebrity colorist to learn the hottest hair trends to try right now.
No one knows “It” color trends like Rita Hazan, the celebrity colorist behind Beyoncé’s iconic highlights. I asked Hazan to walk me through the best color trends for every shade, from blonde hair to black hair. Spoiler alert: Unlike previous years, this year is all about warm hair colors and low-maintenance colors. Keep reading for the seven hair color trends about to grace the heads of A-listers.
I’ve always been a sucker for packaging, and while a spiffy exterior is neither here nor there when it comes to a product’s actual efficacy, Chanel’s signature “click” mechanism that unlocks the wand from the tube is pretty genius. With twist-off designs, an inevitable buildup of product starts to accumulate around the opening of the tube. It becomes more difficult to screw the cap all the way on, and the mascara will dry out more quickly. Chanel’s sleek click-in, click-out design makes all the above a moot issue. Not to mention, you’ve never looked chicer whipping out a mascara before—trust me.
Because I want a lot of definition when it comes to my lashes, I always, always, always gravitate toward a rubber brush versus a brush that is really fat or bushy. I just can’t get the lift and separation I need with that! A rubber brush acts more like a comb, and you’re really able to control where you’re applying the product while catching and grabbing every last lash. This mascara is no different. The brush is thin and flexible, and the formula itself is strategically spiked with an undetectable hint of red which, adds even more depth and dimension to your eyes. Provitamin B5 and a blend of three naturally derived waxes keep your natural lashes nourished, conditioned, and perfectly curled.
Some mascaras—even the ones marketed to lift and curl—start to fall flat after a few hours, but this is one of the few exceptions I’ve tried. In my eyes, it’s quite literally the perfect mascara, and whenever I wear it out IRL or snap a picture to post on my IG story, there’s a roar of commotion. People absolutely always want to know what my secret is and whether I have extensions or use a lash serum. (For the record, I’ve used and loved lash serums in the past, but I’ve been weaning myself off of them over the last few months.)
I’m constantly chatting with Who What Wear editors to get their takes on the coolest fashion trends of the moment and the brands they’re most excited about. After all, it’s our job to know what’s happening in fashion, what’s cool, and what’s about to be cool—and my fellow editors are constantly introducing me to labels that weren’t on my radar before.
With warmer weather upon us, I’ve been tapping them to learn which bikinis and one-piece swimsuits they’re excited about and which ones they think will define fashion for the season ahead. Here, they’re highlighting the best swimsuit brands to know this season. From a designer tapping into the trends everyone is talking about to their go-to brands for affordable finds, these are their favorites. Scroll to shop their picks and see which swimwear labels made it onto my shortlist.
Take it from me, someone so pale I could give the vampires in Twilight a run for their money: The wrong bronzer can look downright weird on fair skin. I’m extremely pale, and bronzer has always been tricky for me. Some formulas read too orange, while others make me look like I rubbed dirt on my face.
The trick to finding a good bronzer is finding one that genuinely makes you look like you just got back from a sun-drenched vacation. It should also be easily blendable, so you can diffuse it on your face as if you were naturally sun-kissed.
After a lot of trial and error, I’ve found bronzers that I like on my own skin, but I decided to reach out to celebrity makeup artists Katey Denno and Fiona Stiles to find out which ones they recommend the most for people with fair skin. See below for makeup artists’ favorite bronzers for fair skin (and how a few of them look on!), plus some of my favorites.
Though your outfit is definitely not the most important part of Mother’s Day, there’s no harm in wanting to use your family’s plans as a chance to show off some of the best of spring style. After all, our mothers are some of the most stylish people we know! But figuring out a look that nails the Mother’s Day dress code—think polished and pulled-together but not overly formal—can be a sartorial challenge, even if you’ve got your spring wardrobe fully stocked.
So with that in mind, we turned to Instagram to track down 13 outfits for Mother’s Day that will keep you feeling comfortable and looking chic and that won’t offend Grandma. Maybe you can even gift one of these looks to someone special in your life. So read on to discover the fail-safe outfit formulas, and shop some of our favorite festive spring pieces and outfits below.
Certain designer pieces have a way of making it into every fashion girl’s closet at one point or another. One peek at the picks that make any list of luxury items we round up, and you’ll come to learn they all have a few things in common: They’re top quality, they’re timeless, and they’re quite pricey (we know, the latter may not be exactly what you want to hear). But each makes for a worthy investment piece that you’ll have hanging in your wardrobes for years to come.
The same can be said about the 10 most popular designer shoes of all time. It’s a hard title to earn, especially when you take into account the sheer number of standout shoes that flood the vast footwear market, but every style we found below has made the list for a particular reason. Each pair has a can’t-miss element to it, whether it be a unique heel, a specific pattern, or an all-around iconic silhouette. Read on to see and shop the designer shoes that are a part of fashion set’s forever wardrobes.
It’s no easy feat picking out which shoes to wear with what, and it becomes even harder when you have too many to choose from. To help make dressing easier (and more manageable), especially when it comes to your footwear, we’ve put together a handful of guides about which heels, sandals, and sneakers pair best with which pieces in your wardrobe. We’ve already created a need-to-know guide covering the best shoes to wear with bootcut jeans and picked out the top styles to pair with skinny jeans, and today, we’re focusing on the best shoes to wear with wide-leg pants.
Wide-leg pants are billowy, flowy, and typically start to flare at the top, unlike the slightly more toned-down bootcut version, which gains volume toward the ankles. When picking shoes for wide-leg jeans, you want to choose a pair that works with their voluminous silhouette. Some styles that are always good? You can never go wrong with a pair of platform pumps that add height and a dose of retro flair. Chunky sneakers are another on-trend, comfortable pick that works perfectly with the bottom’s billowy shape. Ready for more? Read on to see and shop the shoes that pair best with wide-leg jeans.
According to, Queralt Ferrer, the fashion director of the iconic British brand, John Lewis, it’s time to move on from the floral print midi dress trend. At first glance, this seems like an outlandish sentiment, especially since the dress style is still a favorite among the fashion set, but Ferrer’s take is actually much more nuanced. During an interview with The Guardian, Ferrer acknowledged that customers still love floral print dresses, but that she and her team don’t want their customer to “just keep buying what she already owns.”
That said, there is no need to store your favorite floral print midi dresses, but if you are looking for a forward-thinking closet refresh, try taking a departure from the usual ditzy floral prints. Instead, opt for dress styles with bolder, brighter florals in a variety of lengths. The article describes the evolution as more exotic botanical garden rather than romantic English country cottage. Ahead shop 40 editor-approved dresses that fit the bill, plus some outfit inspiration on how to wear the fresh style.
Having a hard (and painful) time finding a pair of stylish heels to fit your wide feet? You’re not alone. Although brands like Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, and Saint Laurent produce gorgeous pumps, their designs aren’t always suited for girls with wide feet. Think about a pair of BB pumps—the style is crafted to create a very slim and sleek look. And if your feet are nowhere near narrow, then you know this translates to shoving your little footsies into the pumps and pretending the pain is worth it. (Guilty!)
Sob story aside, we crowdsourced in our office to bring you the best brands to shop if you have wide feet. In hopes of alleviating some of your heel-wearing foot pain and to stock your shoe collection with the right picks, here are the top brands you need to know about. Keep reading to see the brands and shop our favorite heels for wide feet.
Heather D. Rogers, MD, founder and CEO of Doctor Rogers Restore and co-founder of Modern Dermatology in Seattle, says that when talking about sunscreens, there are two types: chemical and mineral protection. Rogers says mineral sunscreens, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are natural and nontoxic. These sit on top of your skin and block the skin like reflectors. Chemical sunscreens—oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, and avobenzone—on the other hand, are absorbed into the skin before they can protect from the sun’s radiation. She says that the ingredients absorb the sun’s rays and convert them into heat that is released from the skin.
While Rogers says that chemical sunscreens provide good UVA and UVB protection and are better than not using anything, they do get absorbed into your body. “We can measure them in our blood and urine,” she explains. “Even though they are well-studied, labeled by the FDA as nontoxic, do not cause cancer (despite some reports out there), and have NOT been shown to cause hormone disruption in humans, they do accumulate in us. I would like to minimize the accumulation of any unneeded chemicals in my body, my patients’ bodies, and in our world, whenever possible. Further, avobenzone is a common cause of sunscreen allergy, and oxybenzone is contributing to the death of coral reefs.”
“For most skin tones, bronzers add a healthy glow that can accentuate your features and give you a more youthful and rested appearance without the dangers and premature aging that can come from the sun,” Bass explains. Recently, Bass created a brilliantly bronzed makeup look for actress Toni Collette at the Mafia Mamma and decided to use bronzer to complement the actress’s white Valentino gown. For anyone looking to add some warmth and dimension to their makeup look, investing in a bronzer may be a game changer.
As with any makeup product, there are ways to ensure your makeup looks its best. “The biggest mistake with bronzer is using a color that doesn’t work for your skin tone,” says Quynh, who just worked with Wong for the premiere of Beef to create this sun-kissed look. Luckily, for every makeup difficulty, there’s a tried-and-true solution. “Foundation colors mimic skin tones better, so it will be easier to blend and look more natural and less orange,” Quynh continues. “You want to go at least three to four shades darker than your skin.” Her biggest tip for application? Focusing the product on the chin, forehead, and cheeks before guiding it up to the hairline before lightly blending down to the center of the face for a finished look that mimics where the sun would hit the skin.

If you have a formal occasion such as a wedding or party to attend in the future, figuring out what to wear underneath your dresses should be the least of your worries. But if you’re the type of person who prefers to have a little extra support for those occasions, know that there’s a type of shapewear designed for every style of dress. To find out, we asked fashion stylist Alyssa Sutter, who has dressed multitudes of celebrity clients (including Lucy Hale), for her go-to undergarments for any style of dress she’s working with. See what she recommends below.
“An A-line or fit-and-flare dress is actually very flattering,” Sutter says. “This silhouette would require minimal shapewear. Depending on your shape or size, you can try classic high-waisted shorts, briefs, or a waist cincher.”
Perfect to wear underneath a dark color.
You’ll feel completely supported in these.
The cotton makes these the coziest shapewear to add to your collection.
Mothers-to-be, these will be your go-to shapewear shorts.

You’ll no doubt have a smooth look all night long with this.
These come in nine great colors to ensure a match.

You’ll have seamless coverage from head to toe.
Surprisingly comfortable.
For maxi dresses with high slits, this slip dress will work perfectly underneath.

“There are great undergarments specifically for plunging necklines and low backs,” Sutter says. “Plunging slips and convertible bras will keep you covered for the trickiest necklines. Adhesive bras can be worn with open-back and plunging necklines.”
Even the lowest necklines will be no match for this Spanx bodysuit.
Adjust the straps on these to accommodate any type of neckline you have.
This bodysuit by Skims will do the trick.
This will definitely be staying in place.
When you need a seamless finish, wear this with all your plunging dresses.

A wardrobe essential.
So sleek.
This will be sure to create a smooth line under the skirt of your dress.

Swimsuit season is upon us, and today, we’re focusing on all the beautiful bikinis worth scooping up for summer. To get more insight on the bikinis worth adding to our carts this season, I tapped Michelle Scanga—former Who What Wear managing editor (current editor at Poosh), a swimwear connoisseur, and the queen of bikinis who owns over a whopping 70 bikinis—and asked her to share her absolute favorite two-pieces she loves and wears the most.

Summer has officially arrived, which hopefully means some serious beach time is on the horizon. Long days swimming in the ocean, catching the sunset, and enjoying dinner with a view are at the top of my personal wish list, especially after having such an unusual summer last year. While daydreaming about those days ahead, I’m also picturing all the pretty beachdresses I finally get to wear, from cover-ups to seaside dinner looks.
The ideal beach dress is comfortable, easy to wear, and effortlessly chic and is preferably made of a lightweight fabric to keep you feeling cool during peak summer temperatures. I went ahead and did some internet digging to find the best beach dresses for you so that we can all get a jump start on our wardrobes for the summer months ahead. From chic linens to colorful knits to breezy strapless pieces, below are the 30 prettiest beach dresses for summer 2023, plus some cool swim cover-ups in case that’s more your beach look.
The Italians know how to do many, many things very, very well. Gelato, aperitivo, luxury leather goods—I could go on. And I don’t know if its because Milan Fashion Week has just passed or because I’m currently plotting my summer escape to Italy, but there is certainly an Italian feeling in the air—or hair, I should say. And it’s starting to trickle into salons, too.
Bobs have remained a constant in the hairdressing world. The style is not so much of a trend but a timeless cut we see morph over time. (We’re looking at your box bob, Hailey Bieber.) For so long, we’ve seen the French bob haircut dominate in salons. It’s a timeless haircut that manages to be simple yet effortlessly stylish on just about every hair type. After all, who doesn’t want a slice of that Parisian style? However, there’s undoubtedly been a shift towards longer and bouncier bobs. Enter the Italian bob.
There’s no doubt that dresses are my go-to during the summer months. They’re the easiest one-and-done piece I can dress up or down that will keep me cool in the sweltering summer heat. While there are plenty of dress trends for the taking this summer, there is one particular style that I can’t stop obsessing over whenever it flashes on my feed: open-back dresses. In fact, backless dresses are one of the most captivating dress trends of the season, perhaps because they’re so subtle yet striking in their simplicity. And whether you opt for a maxi dress or a back that is wide open, you can pretty much guarantee a captivating summer look. If you’re enamored with the trend as much as I am, take take a look below at my absolute favorites to shop at the best online dress retailers right now.
