If it was up to us, we'd buy th...

After months of anticipation, Olivia Rodrigo 's 's "Guts" World Tour officially kicks off today, Feb. 23. Fans of the pop-rock princess have been prepping for the spectacle over the last few months by doing what they do best - religiously memorizing lyrics (or just scream-singing "get him back!" in the car), filming TikTok videos of their battle to actually nab a pair of tickets, and, of course, brainstorming outfit ideas for what's bound to be one of the most high-energy, Y2K-centric concerts this decade. ICYMI: Rodrigo released her second studio album, "Guts," last fall, which served as a follow-up to her critically acclaimed first record, "Sour." The album played into many of the same pop-rock sensibilities that made the musician's debut such a hit, with punk instrumentals and melodies inspired by bands like Paramore, teamed with the same thoughtful, heart-wrenching lyricism that mirrors artists like Taylor Swift . Rodrigo h...

If you're a fan of Netflix's " Love Is Blind ," then you may be curious about the engagement rings , which are either chosen on set or brought in ( Kyle Abrams presented his mom's ring to Shaina Hurley during season two , for example). Knowing that on " The Bachelor " and " The Bachelorette ," the jewelry is entirely provided by Neil Lane , you have to wonder how much shopping the men on "LIB" could possibly be getting done outside of the pods while they're holed up from the outside world. What's more, if you're looking closely, you may notice similarities in some of the women's engagement rings. In fact, in season one, it appeared Lauren Speed, Jessica Batten, and Amber Pike wore identical rings following their proposals. According to "LIB" production company, Kinetic Content , all the men are presented with dozens of rings to choose from (Netflix said that in seasons four and five, they were all courte...

Target recently announced its collaboration with Diane von Furstenberg as a part of its highly anticipated designer collection for 2024. Target's previous iterations of designer collections have sold out in mere days, whether it's the preppy styles of Rowing Blazers or its editor-backed fall collection with Kika Vargas, La Ligne, and Sergio Hudson and spring collaboration with Fe Noel, Agua Bendita, and Rhode . However, this partnership with Diane von Furstenberg is extra special because it also features collaborations with her granddaughter, Talita von Furstenberg. The line aims to inspire all generations of women to feel confident in what they wear, from DVF's iconic archival prints to new exclusive patterns featuring florals, animal prints, and geometric shapes. What can shoppers expect? Colorful, bold, and fresh designs, perfect for spring and summer. The limited edition DVF collection features more than 200 items spanning home, fashion, and beauty, including women...

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

Looking for a new swimsuit is a lot easier said than done - especially if you're someone with curves who's in the market for something equally comfortable and cute. The trick to finding the right style is getting one that gives you the most flattering fit, whether it's a high-waisted bikini bottom or belted waist. Your swimsuit should play up your curves, not hide them. With so many options to shop online, our expert editors break down exactly what factors you should consider when scoping out the best swimsuits for curvy women - from the material to the bathing suit silhouette and more. What Makes a Swimsuit the Best For Curvy Women? When shopping for a new swimwear style, consider what silhouettes are best suited to the occasion. If you're looking for something to lounge around in by the pool, a bikini or sleeveless one-piece swimsuit will likely be your best bet for avoiding awkward tan lines. Alternatively, if you're a sporty beach girl who enjoys playing on...

When finding the perfect pair of work shoes, style ranks high on our wish lists - but naturally, so does comfort. From the subway to the office to after-work cocktails with your friends and beyond, these are the shoes you'll practically be living in daily, so it's important to shop for a pair that'll keep you feeling comfortable, supported, and chic. Ahead, we curated a list of this season's best and most comfortable work shoes for women, from slingback heels and black flats to business-casual shoes that can meet any office's dress-code requirements . Most importantly, they all have one thing in common: they'll become your go-to everyday pair. Depending on your job or daily journey, your comfort (and commute) requirements might have different needs. If you work in a more dressed-up environment with a walking commute, opt for classic, comfortable flats that you can wear with trousers. If your workplace is more casual and you drive, you can probably get away ...

Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Sarah Wasilak When I first met Natalie Trevonne , she was working in consulting and moonlighting as a writer eager to share her frustrations with the fashion industry. Trevonne, 33, began her journey as a legally blind woman at age 18, following struggles with corrective surgery after being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. She went on to report about the ways in which online shopping lacks in accessibility for POPSUGAR in 2021, and about the poor audio description in popular fashion TV shows the following year. In 2023, she wrote about her experience walking in an inclusive, all-blind runway show . Meanwhile, she was preparing to launch her own brand, NYI , which stands for Not Your Inspiration. After working with Ernest Spicer , the company's CTO and designer, on an NFT wedding dress (shown at the first-ever Meta Fashion Week), the two put their heads together to create a clothing brand that Trevonne felt was missing from the...

Forget diamonds: shoes are a girl's best friend. There are endless styles to choose from, and often, a good pair of shoes is the pièce de résistance of any good outfit. While we love the best sneakers and boots , one piece of footwear will forever have our hearts (and pockets): heels. Just as versatile as any shoe, a pair of heels offers a certain level of confidence to the wearer while elevating one's look no matter the occasion, from a casual brunch date to a fancy soirée. But there's a new category of shoes we're most happy to see on our radar, and that's the most comfortable heels you can imagine. We're talking all your favorite styles - stilettos, wedges, mules - but tailor made to provide comfort instead of pain. More brands are defying the "fashion is pain" stereotype, creating comfortable yet stylish heels like never before. And these comfortable heels aren't just regulated to the low-heel shoe variety. The most comfortable designer hee...

When it comes to getting dressed, we tend to seek shoes that are stylish, but easy to walk in , which is why having a pair of comfortable flats reigns supreme. In fact, we'll never retire them from our wardrobe, regardless of whether or not they're trending on the runway (spoiler alert: they are - ballerina flats are everywhere ). Flats are chic and versatile; they're just as much the perfect work shoe as they are a day-to-day footwear staple. The only caveat? Finding the right pair for you. That ends here, though, because we found the best and most comfortable flats to buy this season. Ahead, you can browse our favorite pairs, ranging from the best basic black styles and colored flats to pointed-toe and square-toe designs that are perfect for tapping into the balletcore aesthetic . Whether you're looking for a special occasion shoe, work flats, or a pair to slip into daily, we've got you covered with choices at every price point, from cheap flats to luxury des...

"I'm not wearing that old thing - I've already worn it and posted it on Instagram." How many times have you uttered these words before choosing what to wear for a night out? It's a common thought that has led to a sometimes wasteful approach to fashion. According to Clothes Aid, roughly 350,000 tonnes (that's around £140 million worth of used but still wearable clothing) goes to landfill in the UK every year. This equates to more than 30 percent of our unwanted clothing currently going to landfill. It's no secret that the fashion and textiles industry is a major player in our global waste problem . But fear not - clothing rentals have taken the fashion industry by storm in recent years. The future of fashion is the community closet, and there are now multi-brand clothing rental websites and apps at every price point. We still have quite a way to go if we want to close the loop on circular fashion, but the growing fashion rental economy is helping to p...

Nordstrom is one of our absolute favorite places to shop year-round. Regardless of the season or our spending budgets, we always know that we can rely on the retailer to deliver with the exact products and pieces that we're coveting - perhaps even a few that we aren't. Fortunately for us (and our bank accounts), Nordstrom is currently hosting its major winter sale, which features deals of up to 50 percent off on a number of best-selling products. And before you question it, nope, your eyes aren't deceiving you - we really just said 50 percent. ICYMI: Happening now through Feb. 15, shoppers can save big on essentials that span all of Nordstrom's top categories, including fashion, beauty, and even home decor. To save you time so you can focus your energy on what really matters (shopping, obviously), our editors curated a guide filled with the best deals to shop at the Nordstrom winter sale. So flip open your laptop, have your credit card ready, and get amped up to save...

These days, I'm adamant about removing as much baggage from my life as possible - both metaphorically and literally. I've long been a fan of Lululemon's cult-favorite Belt Bag because of its compact yet functional design, but I've recently been coveting something even smaller for my day-to-day activities - like gym-trips, running errands, or basically any other scenario where I'd prefer to carry as little as possible. Lo and behold, Lululemon is actually the genius behind yet another viral accessory that pairs the brand's signature, sporty aesthetic with a lightweight and easy-to-carry bag design. Enter: the Lululemon Dual Pouch Wristlet ($48). Chronically online folks (like myself) are likely all too familiar with this compact accessory, as it's become a mainstay on TikTok's "For You" page (along with the go-to travel bag ) for dozens of fashion editors and influencers alike. With all the hype surrounding this stylish pouch, I couldn...

While some call it superstition, the color of your underwear on Valentine's Day can at least usher in the type of romantic luck you hope to cultivate in the year ahead. Renowned fashion psychologist Dr. Dawnn Karen , Professor at FIT, conducted a study on the power of red , surveying 115 people who were viewed differently based on their backgrounds and where on their body (or in their outfit) they wore the shade. While Dr. Karen didn't incorporate underwear specifically, she found the effect of red to be astounding, significantly impacting how passersby interpret someone's levels of promiscuity and attractiveness. When asked about applying her findings to popular Valentine's Day lingerie colors - including red, pink, black, and white - Dr. Karen calls it a twofold street. "Wearing your underwear as an individual can have the same effects generating self-love as it can generating outwards love towards another," she tells POPSUGAR. Since choosing your br...

So, you finally got your hands on tickets to Taylor Swift 's concert, which is no easy feat. We'd argue that the only thing more exciting than seeing the multihyphenate star perform live is figuring out what you're going to wear for the occasion. Who better to draw inspiration from for Taylor Swift concert outfit ideas than the singer herself? Her onstage wardrobe is glamorous, eye-catching, and full of hidden messaging - all design flourishes that make for a truly memorable 'fit pic or #GRWM video for your Swift Eras outfit. ICYMI: Swift kicked off her long-awaited tour for Eras in Glendale, AZ, on March 17, 2023. Beyond performing her expansive music catalog, she also provided plenty of fashion moments that pay homage to the aesthetics she's embraced throughout her career - including a custom-made, bejeweled Versace bodysuit that quite literally made the whole place shimmer. Through all the success of the tour, Taylor Swift's Eras outfits in particular ha...

As a New Yorker, walking is my primary mode of transportation. Even if I'm taking the subway or the bus, I have to walk to the station or stop on either side of the journey. On weekends, I routinely walk five miles or more per day just running errands and bopping around the city. Suffice it to say, I can be a bit of a tough critic when it comes to comfortable walking shoes . So when I had the chance to test the Cariuma Oca Low Off-White Canvas Sneaker ($85), I was intrigued - especially because the high-top model of this sneaker made our list of the best women's sneakers for 2024 . As soon as I got my hands on a pair, I slipped them on with a pair of my favorite jeans , a crew-neck sweatshirt, and my go-to puffer coat and headed out on a Saturday afternoon walk. Keep reading for my full Cariuma Oca Low Sneaker review. What's the Criteria For a Good Sneaker? When I shop for casual sneakers, I first look for a clean, minimalist design that I can style with a variety of...
