Bikinis

Shopping for a bikini that fits is one of life’s less loudly frustrating womanly rituals. The top that fits your boobs never matches the bottom that fits your hips. The color that looks Instagram bright in the store washes out in the sun. The cute-girl bikini you looked great in on someone else does whatever the opposite of great is on you. We know all of these things because we’ve been there, done that, and have photographed every angle so it’s exactly why we curated this collection with the same care we put into everything else. We didn’t want a beach full of options. We wanted a few bikinis that did a few things really well. Triangle tops that actually support your chest without exploding into a bird’s nest. High-waisted bottoms that actually sit at your waist. Bandeau styles that don’t fall down. We were entirely uncuddly about picking things that might look good on a nobody’s daughter but will spend your holiday yakking across at a chair with your actual butt hanging out. Bikinis should also do things beyond hanging well on the beach. Things like lining up perfectly under linen shorts as a top. Or having solid color bottoms that go with half your tank tops. Or being cute without cling wrapped to every inch of you at the beach. When you’re packing your suitcase versatility is important and these pieces all have it. Speaking of versatility, we know coverage is not one size fits all. Some girls want as little as possible. Some girls want those kinda shorts that allow you to run a damn marathon. Some girls need underwire tops. Some girls can’t stand underwire when they’re half covered in salt water. There’s bikinis for all those preferences in this collection without assuming we know what’s best for you. What every bikini in this collection has in common is how we ask about everything we stock. We ask if we would really wear it or just put it in a cart to binge-watch ScreamSeason 5 later. We ask if it’ll stand up to sun, sand, and chlorinated punches without looking like it gave up on life. We ask if it’s suitcase worthy. If they pass that test, you get to find them here. Summer’s fleeting. Sweat seasons even more so. A good bikini can really elevate your mental when you’re dealing with endless sunshine.

Gym Tops

A shitty gym top is rage-inducing in a very particular way. If it’s too short, it rides up when you pull your arms overhead. If it’s too thin, it turns transparent as soon as you break a sweat. If it’s too stiff, it resists you with every movement instead of hanging fluidly with your body. We’ve all had at least one of each variety and we never want to again. We made this edit because activewear deserves thoughtful curation like the rest of your closet. Your training clothes matter. They matter in terms of performance yes, but more importantly how you feel when you walk into a class, pull up a squat rack, or power through that last mile when your motivation is already telling you it’s time to quit. The right tank top is not frivolous. Here we have gathered workout tanks that will perform well no matter the type of training you’re into. Versatility instead of tanks so specialized for one type of use they’re useless for everything else. Fitted styles that cling beautifully during yoga and Pilates but won’t gather up at the bottom when you fold forward. Loose tanks for weight lifting days when you want something that covers you, but doesn’t bind you. Supportive crop tops that actually work as a top—no camisole required. We’ve considered every possibility. We’ve been judicious about materials because that is where most yoga tanks and leggings fall short. We want fabric that moves with us. Wicks like it’s job. Retains its shape after endless wash cycles. And most importantly, doesn’t chalk up fading colors and pill-covered skin as fashion sacrifices we just have to accept. There’s a range of prices because let’s be honest here. For the love of elastic waistbands, a well made middle-of-the-line tank will outperform a cheaply constructed high-end version every day of the week and twice on Sunday. We’ve also taken care to curate tanks that actually look good when you wear them—not just lounging around in a fitting room. These pieces have been selected with actual movement in mind. Sweat sessions, running tracks, andevery lung-busting yoga pose you don’t quite stick. There’s no reason you shouldn’t look capable and put together while doing the thing that makes you feel best. That’s what this gym top edit is here for.

Joggers

Joggers used to be something you grabbed. Now they’re something we think about. And that evolution happened because the category was redefined. You can now find joggers that feature tailored tapered cuts, luxury fabrics that hang like actual trousers, and polished silhouettes that look just as good photographing for Instagram as they do running out to brunch and not feeling self-conscious. Finding those gems though is difficult because of how wide the quality variance is. A poor pair will bag at the knee after an hour and spend the rest of the day slipping down your thighs. A good pair keeps its shape all day long, stretches with your movement, and looks like you put in some effort whether you’re out for a stroll, working from home, or running errands that end up being three too many. We’ve done the heavy lifting of separating these two extremes for you. Here you will find joggers that earn their keep in your wardrobe rather than simply taking up space as that comfy thing you wear when nothing else fits right. Cuffs that stay ribbed. Waistbands that won’t curl. Fabrics that have weight to them so they drape right and don’t cling where they shouldn’t. We’ve included options that range from casual all the way to smart casual because these scenarios are two different occasions. Sunday lounging at home will have you reaching for something else than what you wear Friday while working from your kitchen table and having a video meeting at lunch. We also have standards for fit because that is literally where these pants thrive or die. The best joggers hit right at the sweet spot of relaxed and refined. Too baggy and they’ll look sloppy. Too skinny and well, you may as well wear leggings. This happy medium is much harder to find than it has any right to be, but we’ve done the curating for you. These aren’t things you hold onto for when you’ve made it. They’re just for Tuesday. Tuesday when you wake up and need clothes that you know you’ll feel good wearing instantly. Comfort should be the only standard you ask for when shopping for comfortable clothes.

Seamless Leggings

There’s nothing cute about a waistband that rides down mid-workout. It’s the bummer that sabotages your entire session, your walk, your run to the store, your yoga class when you’re more focused on pulling your pants back up instead of…actually attending your yoga class. Seamless leggings were invented for that exact problem, and the quality ones do such a good job you forget you’re wearing pants at all. This was the benchmark we used when examining every pair in this collection. Not only do they need to look sleek lay flat on a product page, but they also need to stay up and move with your body. With no seams up back there to press and rub and shift, your pants feel more comfortable– something you don’t realize you were missing until you try a truly well-made pair. This round up understands real life usage. We’ve included high rise options that provide enough compression to feel supportive, but not so much that you feel squeezed into a sausage casing. We’ve got lightweight styles for hot yoga studios or summer runs. We’ve rounded up thicker fabrics that look just as good running errands on Saturday as they do at the gym on Wednesday. We’ve been strict about opacity because trust us, a legging that appears translucent the second you bend over is NOT something we want to recommend to anyone. Durability was another thing we looked at closely. Garments made with seamless fabric can pill and lose shape quicker than their woven counterparts if they’re not constructed properly. Everything on this list is durable. The color won’t bleed. The waistband won’t stretch out after multiple washes. These are things you can’t always tell from a picture online, which is why we sifted through dozens to find these. Don’t stress, the searching is done, just enjoy the options. Some of these leggings are high performance enough to truly earn that title. Some exist in that magical sweet spot between workout gear and casual clothes, the type of leggings you can wear to the gym and grocery store with no problem. But most importantly, they all feel like the best decision you’ll make all day as soon as you pull them on. Feeling confident in your clothing shouldn’t be a lucky roll of the dice, it’s about getting the small things right.

Swimsuits

Tennis Skirts

Fashion keeps coming back to the tennis skirt and it’s not difficult to see why. It’s the perfect silhouette. Short enough to look active, stiff enough to appear planned, and centered around a waistband that actually sits at your waist without digging into your skin by lunchtime. It began as athletic apparel and morphed into something else completely. And the best tennis skirts have mastered the art of living in that liminal space. We’re picky about what makes the cut into this group. A tennis skirt worn wrong looks forgotten. Like you just grabbed some pleated fabric and whipped it into a circle. But when they’re done right, tennis skirts become that go-to item you grab on a Saturday morning when you want to look slightly put together without trying too hard. That’s the sweet spot we’ve honed in on filling. The occasions are vast: brunch, casual Friday, traveling during the summer, a lazy warm weather afternoon spent wearing flat sandals and a tucked in linen shirt. They all work with these skirts. We’ve been paying close attention to construction details and fit. Pleats are our friend, but where they fall can make or break a tennis skirt. Too many and the whole skirt can lose its shape. Too few and it just looks…basic. Same goes for the waistband (it should not roll up) and the length (should fall just where you want it to, not because you accidentally stumbled upon the right spot). We’ve also been selective about fabric because ones that crease easily or lose their shape after two wears aren’t worth your hard earned dollar, no matter how sexy they may look on a shelf. Colour wise, you’ll see a lot of classics because they’re classics for a reason. White, black, navy. But we’ve also included some fun ones too! Ones that might surprise you a little. Ones that photograph well but also actually feel effortless to wear IRL, not just on an editorial. We try to strike that balance with all of our picks. Ignore anyone who tells you this silhouette is too casual or cliché. Trends come and go, but the perfect tennis skirt is truly one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Treat it as such.

Accessories

The majority of accessories edits out there are filled with things that photograph well but are worn exactly once. We find that annoying AF, so we made this as an edit for everything we DON’T feel like wearing exactly once. We’ve selected pieces that carry their weight in daily life, not just on styled shoots. The belt that complements three outfits you already love. The work tote that can transition to date night sans embarrassment. The necklace everyone will ask where you got. You’ll never find us mourning the death of an outfit with accessories that then required an entire wardrobe overhaul just to justify purchasing. We love accessories that fit into what you already have and quietly elevate the whole thing. The right accessory can do what an outfit alone sometimes can’t. It speaks intention. It allows you to wear something you’ve worn a million times and still feel curated vs copied. A silk scarf thrown on at the collar. A bag that holds everything you need without sacrificing structure. A stud earring that commands interest without being dramatic. These might seem like small decisions when you’re getting dressed, but they can actually mean the difference between throwing something together and actually feeling damn put together. So when we say this edit is curated with intention, we mean it. We’ve been incredibly selective about what we include because this category is easily overwhelmed with “stuff.” Stuffs that doesn’t necessarily fall into other categories. That doesn’t do anything for you. We narrow down what makes the cut by honing in on pieces that actually do work, feel better in real life than they do in photos, and truly earn their rotation spot versus sitting at the bottom of your drawer. Some are investments. Some will cost you little and feel a lot more luxe. We keep our taste quite high across all price points because good vibes are budgetless. We also approach longevity a little differently than most. Don’t get us wrong, trend pieces can (and do!) slip into our closets all the time. But when thinking of accessories we reach for over and over, they mostly have some personality to keep things interesting but aren’t too over the top that they’ll feel dated in a few months. Those that we know will age with us instead of aging out of style. We held this edit to that standard and looked reallydamn good. These are the goodies that should be on your radar AND your closet.

Dresses

I know a version of dress shopping where everything goes smoothly. You know the event you’re shopping for, you know what you want, you find it quickly, it fits, you leave. Sure, that version exists. Just not usually. More typically it’s 60 minutes of pinning and scrolling through dresses that are sort-of-the-right-color or -length. Or it’s ordering something that looks amazing online and photographing beautifully but ultimately hangs in your closet unworn because it just doesn’t work once it’s on you in real life. We put this collection together with the intention of closing that gap. Every dress we feature has been carefully curated to solve a problem. That Sunday lunch dress that feels effortless but still put together enough that you don’t look like you clearly just fell out of bed. The work dress that doesn’t scream trendy and doesn’t require you to meticulously plan out shirts and layering to look office ready. The guest at a wedding dress that helps you effortlessly skirt the line of under dressing and “appropriately” dressing while still somehow not unintentionally upstaging anyone. These are problems. Real life problems. They deserve solutions, not just aspirational clothes that would look great if you also had the shoes and really good festival lighting. We’re also picky about fabrics because honestly, it’s the thing that makes or breaks a dress. How it moves. How it holds up after a few hours of wear. Dresses that look incredible when you first pull them out of your bag but then require you to constantly adjust at noon don’t make for great dresses no matter how much they might look like you on a store mannequin. You’ll notice that what you see here spans an actual range of occasions, styles, and price points because we don’t subscribe to the idea that only certain budgets can afford nice things. Some of these dresses are investment pieces that we know you’ll be wearing for years to come. Some are lower priced but truly over-deliver. What each link has in common is that we would wear each of them. Wear them to places we actually go, and wear them with the shoes and other clothes we already own. We’re not picking them out for an editorial, specific shot. We want you to wear them. Dresses are one of the most efficient pieces you can buy. One piece, full outfit. Done well, they can also be some of the most empowering. We only want to highlight the ones that do it right.

Lingerie

Good lingerie makes you feel good before anyone else sees you. That’s the bit everyone overlooks. A bra that works under a silk blouse. A set that fits rather than wraps itself around you like a strangler. A slip that skims and doesn’t cling or gap. It changes how you move through your whole day and that’s not insignificant. We’ve curated this collection because the lingerie category is pretty badly oversaturated. There’s way too much polyester dressing itself up as luxury. Too many pretty sets that look great on a flat page but fit no one adequately in real life. Basics that pill after half a dozen washes and get endlessly replaced every few months because they serve no one well. We got bored of that and started asking questions. You’ll find everything from here on fulfils at least a few of those lingerie needs. Bras that provide adequate support for your everyday staples in sizes that extend beyond the token handful all brands offer. Comfortable briefs that don’t suffocate you and are made of fabric that breathes and returns to its original shape. Sleep sets that are soft enough to wear around the house as well as sleep in. Then there’s the more luxurious stuff. Things you buy when you want to feel good rather than feel practical. Silk camisoles that are just as useful tucked into your trousers as they are worn alone. Sets you’ll pull out for when you need them. We’ve paid extra attention to fit. Lingerie that fits poorly ruins everything. If your bra digs, rides up or gaps at the cup it can wreck an outfit more than anything else can. We’ve been particular about what makes it into this collection and why they’re there. Some are tiny brands that have spent decades perfecting their construction. Some are newer companies who approached sizing and comfort from another angle and landed somewhere remarkable. Everything in this collection is something we would buy. Not something we’d buy as an aspiration. Not something we’d specially treat ourselves to and save for an occasion we’ll probably never wear again. We stock things we’d wear regularly. We stock things we would actually consider wearing. Because what you wear directly against your skin deserves just as much thought as the layers you put over it.
