Why Are People Wearing Sunglasses That Look Like Sunscreen?

Photo: Supergoop! If you’ve ever tried to get a baby to stop crying or your landlord to, for the love of all things good in this world, repair that leak in the ceiling, then you’ve had a small taste of what it’s like to convince a friend to use sunscreen. You may have even experienced the same internal battle with yourself, at one point or another: Hey, it’s been two hours, let’s reapply. No? Okay, we’ll try again later.

Roll the Tape: How the Lacoste Polo Became More Than a Tennis Uniform

4 weeks ago | thecut.com | Samantha Sasso

Sportswear is so well integrated into the larger fashion landscape that most people wouldn’t — couldn’t — easily separate the two. From the integration of new garment mechanics (see: the addition of buttonholes to petitcoats for easier horse dismounts) to the invention of new pieces altogether, the impact sports has made on what we wear is a storied history. And you can’t talk about that history without bringing up Lacoste.

This Is Sephora’s #1 Bestselling Foundation for a Reason

1 month ago | thecut.com | Samantha Sasso

How did a new(ish) foundation usurp Giorgio Armani’s top spot? If someone told me in 2018 that Lady Gaga would have the bestselling foundation at Sephora, I would’ve laughed and then, I don’t know, maybe tweeted about it. And this isn’t to say I wasn’t excited back then when the news broke that Gaga had trademarked “Haus Beauty” — because I was. I just never thought the future brand would become best known for its base products, let alone the most popular. Eyeshadow? Sure.

The Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation Is Still As Good As They Say

Photo-Illustration: Allie Pakrosnis; Photos: Stephanie Nguyen and Antoinette Mathison Many of the things we loved 25 years ago are either collecting dust in our parents’ attics or sitting on a shelf in a secondhand store somewhere. Though we’re grateful for the invention of the Razor scooter and USB drives, we rarely find use for these once-innovative creations today. The same can’t be said for the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation.
This Perfume Is the Next Best Thing to Liquid Luck

Photo: Kilian Paris Finding a signature scent is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you found a fragrance you love enough to wear every day, an amalgamation of notes people now associate with you and only you. Then, when you least expect it, olfactory fatigue sets in. And when your brain is desensitized to the perfume you wear the most, the unwavering attachment begins to crumble. This recently happened to me and the fragrance I wore for six years.
When to Replace Old Bras and Underwear from Bali, Maidenform

2 months ago | thecut.com | Samantha Sasso

Photo-Illustration: Allie Pakrosnis Just like food, clothing has its expiration date. Avid runners (anyone who clocks 20 miles a week) should replace their shoes every six months — if not sooner. Prone to fading and discoloration, even white T-shirts require an earlier retirement than, say, jeans or outerwear. Similar rules apply to bras and underwear. Despite the fact that our intimates get a lot of mileage, they tend to overstay their welcome.
