When you’re trying a new workout for the first time, the last thing you want to worry about is your outfit. Your mind is busy enough trying to master the moves — you shouldn’t have to think about your sports bra not being supportive enough or the waistband of your leggings starting to slip. So,

While watching Amanda Gorman deliver “The Hill We Climb”, glued to the TV screen and hanging onto every word, we couldn’t help but also fixate on her stunning ensemble. She wore every piece with such grace and elegance, inspiring us not just with her poise but her impeccable taste in fashion. We’re still thinking about
It can sometimes feel like you can really miss out when you’re on a budget, particularly when it comes to fashion. It doesn’t help that so many trending items or influencer shots feature predominantly high-end and designer pieces that are simply not viable for the average person. Winter clothes seem to be the hardest in this
At Allure, we get inundated with the latest and greatest beauty offerings every day. Most of it is exciting, some of it confusing, and sometimes it gets overwhelming, especially now that our homes have become our offices. Alas, that is the beauty editor’s burden to bear.

Zuhair Murad looked to the world of dance for pre-fall, drawing parallels between its constant motion and the endless cycles of fashion.

So, when Glossier finally launched in the UK back in October 2017, I was ready and waiting to log on and checkout with a basket full of Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Haloscope and all the other cult products I’d been pining for on the other side of the Atlantic for the previous three years. But was it worth
Some experts are debating whether you should avoid alcohol before and after you get the COVID-19 vaccine because of how it might impact your immune response. But one doctor we spoke to offered a different reason you might want to skip the drinks around the time of your vaccination: alcohol could increase the likelihood that
What makes British fashion so special is its heritage; our past is a rich (incredibly chic) tapestry of skilled makers and designers, with brands born long ago proving to be just as popular today. And one of those brands is Barbour. Though founded in 1845, Barbour has been creating the timeless wax jackets and outwear for
And while there is a whole bunch of questionable advice out there that could have skincare experts debating for days, there are recurring pieces of false information on social media that they are growing increasingly frustrated over, and as a result, I am too. Crucially, it is important to remember that in skincare, there is
I won’t lie. Up until recently, I thought button-down shirts and knitted vests were a fashion pairing best reserved for grandfathers or young children in school uniforms. It was a look my late grandfather (or Pappou as we affectionately referred to him in Greek) donned on a very regular basis so the connotation has always
I cackle uncontrollably when people say that celebrities are just like us. Sure, and I also have millions of dollars just lying around — who doesn’t? This week, however, that statement actually has some truth to it as unexpectedly proven by the least relatable of them all: Kim and Kourtney Kardashian. Kim posted a throwback
Is there anything more enviable than Cali girl hair? West coast ladies find a way to make everything look effortless – from a glam night in Hollywood to a brunch in Venice. Luckily, even if you’re freezing and frazzled, you can lean into the ease of California hair. Here’s what you need to know, straight
I’ve been a vegetarian for years, and it’s not because I adore nuts and leafy greens — in fact, pizza and donuts are among my favorite foods. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to get the nutrients your body needs. Since I stopped eating meat in 2016, I’ve learned how to sneak nutrition into meals
“Makeup allows you to express yourself, and it allows to show people who you are, even what your opinions are or who you are as a person before you even open your mouth,” Swedish singer Zara Larsson says in a new video for Allure — but it just so happens she starts that video by
When you want your eyebrows to have that gravity-defying fluffy look, sometimes a standard brow gel just isn’t enough. That’s why, it seems, makeup brands are releasing eyebrow waxes left and right. We’re not talking about the kind of wax used for hair removal; we’re talking about a whole new category of eyebrow grooming products
LUNA ROSSA WINS: Winning two races against NYYC American Magic, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has gained access to the Prada Cup finals, when it will face team Ineos U.K., the undefeated winner in the round robins. Both regattas of the day took place on Jan. 29 in the northern area of Auckland facing the Takapuna
There’s nothing wrong with setting lofty fitness goals for yourself, but what happens when you fall behind, start skipping workouts, or lose motivation? What if you’re too daunted to even start? It’s amazing how quickly fitness stops feeling fun and starts to become a chore. That’s why we came up with POPSUGAR’s first-ever 28-Day Fitness
It’s almost February, and before you know it, Valentine’s Day will be here. He’s been your lockdown buddy; you both have managed to turn your home into the office, gym, a 5-star restaurant, and the club. You may have promised not to make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day, but why not brighten his
Having written extensively in the past about how much I love perfume, I’ll try my hardest to prevent this piece from becoming an ode to my fascination with fragrance. From cult £165 fragrances to affordable hidden gems from the high street, I’m not fussy about brand or price point when it comes to scent but I am fastidious about the
So, anyway, for whatever reason, Mrs. Dalloway says she wants to get veneers. A veneer is a small tooth facade, made of either porcelain or a resin composite. The latter is cheaper, but less durable and more prone to staining. Most cosmetic dentists begin at the end, by building a model of a patient’s soon-to-be
Area always gets us excited for sparkling dresses that celebrate showing skin with confidence. For the New York brand’s first couture show, designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk tapped trailblazer Precious Lee and catwalk favorite Yasmin Wijnaldum to model a body-positive, 14-look collection that can be described as sexy, fantasy couture. “Haute Couture originally started
Searching for the perfect pair of boots is long, arduous work. There are heel heights to consider and toe-shapes, how far they climb up the leg, and then, of course, there are countless colours to choose from. But let’s simplify things for a second. It’s widely agreed that black boots make for the most versatile, so
As East Coast temperatures continue to plummet and nevertheless, outdoor dining persists, I found myself wondering how I’d survive the winter and at least attempt to be social. Let me preface this by saying that since childhood — in the suburbs of NYC, I should add — I’ve run cold. Like, very cold. At home,
If you haven’t tried one for yourself, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the appeal of Chanel nail polishes is their designer name, but that’s not the case. The preferred lacquer of countless session and celebrity nail artists, Chanel nail polishes are known for their ultra-glossy finish, quick setting times, and hardwearing durability. But which are
What can’t Blue Ivy do? She manages an international superstar by the name of Beyoncé, knows how to bust a move or two on stage, and can give you a brief public health lesson about handwashing — and she does it all at just nine years old. Now, the youngin’ is showing off her makeup
Even if you wear all black all the time, or mostly stick to neutrals, it’s hard to completely ignore all the colors of the rainbow. Of course, bright shades stand out as an obvious statement, yet switching in a pastel for gray or tan can be a baby step to boldness. Now, we know blush-colored
Although the emergence of youth culture propelled the brand to become popular in the mid 1900s, by the mid ’80s, it was struggling, and sales started to decline. However, Levi’s enlisted the help of advertisers John Hegarty and Barbara Noakes, who created the famous 1985 launderette ad to appeal to the MTV crowd. According to
I suffered a miscarriage in my first trimester and that loss has shaped and changed who I am at my core. So much of who I was before this loss is unrecognizable to me, and I’m realizing that I can’t go back to the “before” version of myself no matter how hard I try. There
