We switch out the actives in our skincare routines and get by on serums, self-tanners, and sunscreen. We wear skin tints instead of full coverage foundations. We take a lazy girl approach to our hair. We might even abbreviate our morning routines in favor of spending more time outdoors—I find I need to journal less when I’m touching grass more.

What is anti-racism in 2025? Were we naive to hope that the Black Lives Matter movement would have a transformative effect on society? Maybe. But looking back at that time, when public allyship had never felt so strong and words like “anti-racism” entered the collective lexicon, it still feels like we made a decade of progress in just a few months. Tearing down the veneer of post-racial America was necessary work.

Summer is when you can really let your hair down — both literally and figuratively speaking. The warm-weather season tends to bring about more textured, low-maintenance styles. But that doesn’t mean forgetting about the polished looks. For these, you can take inspo from the biggest old-school trend making a comeback: flapper hair. Specifically, finger waves and kiss curls, two signature styles worn by women in the Roaring Twenties.

There have been many variations of the fruit-inspired manicure. Delectable 3D designs were everywhere this spring, and farmer’s market nails were spotted on Hailey Bieber last summer. But in a very 2025 turn, this season’s take is glossy, minimal, and fresh. Behold, the “fruit water” nail trend, which does to your manicure what fruit does to water: takes something simple and gives it a refreshing hint of excitement.

Every day, something new gets dubbed a millennial trait — and the internet reacts as if nothing is more embarrassing to the young, cool crowd than acting millennial. Ankle socks, skinny jeans, and side parts have all gotten the cheugy treatment. Now, the next-gen makeup girlies are coming for mascara. Meet the minimal lashes movement, aka “ghost lashes,” which begs the question: Is mascara a millennial trait, or is this merely a passing trend? What Are Ghost Lashes?

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. One of the few social media trends I’ve resonated with long term is the idea of being “high maintenance to be low maintenance.” The concept is simpler than it sounds. Simply put, it’s about investing in long-term beauty solutions so that your daily rituals can feel seamless. Isn’t that what we all want out of our routines and rituals? Something intuitive and personal that we’ve honed over time?

Europeans take pleasure seriously. They work shorter hours. They linger in restaurants after dinner to drink wine and chat. They understand that life is about living, not working. The popular Italian phrase (as you may have seen on friends’ Instagram captions) “il dolce far niente” translates to “the pleasure of doing nothing” — that’s the vibe for this summer. Perhaps this laid-back attitude is the core reason so many people in the U.S. find them so chic.

Memorial Day is basically the start of summer. Now that the holiday has come and gone, it’s officially the season of white pants, flip flops, and manicures that show off your warm weather style. As the temperatures steadily rise, the number of things you wear declines, as your ‘fits focus more on practicality. That’s when your look becomes about the little things: chunky jewelry, vintage bags, and statement manicures.

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. I can’t stop thinking about the “Sephora kid” phenomenon, where preteens are buying anti-aging creams and even retinol. At first glance, it seems absurd. But we live in a culture that tells women that our power is in our beauty—then treats that beauty like it has an expiration date. At any age, unlearning the idea that showing signs of aging is inherently “bad” takes a lot of effort.

These days, there are countless ways to add intrigue to a minimalist manicure. Opt for a pastel upgrade to the traditional French design (a look cosigned by Kylie Jenner). Add tiny decals on a plain polish base to add character. Go with glossy soap nails, the simple yet extra shiny take on a neutral mani. Oh, and don’t forget about chrome. If you want to take that high-gloss aesthetic to the next level, meet “aurora nails,” the celestial manicure trend that gives your tips a holographic upgrade.
