When you think about timeless staples, you might automatically think of little black dresses, pearl earrings, and white button-downs, among others. When it comes to handbags, though, we all have a favorite silhouette. From totes and shoppers to fanny packs and crossbody styles, all handbags have a place in our closets (and hearts).

Though we might alternate between them when it comes to what colors we gravitate toward, that’s when they become truly seasonless. Brown, red, black, mustard, and forest-green styles work for every season, and today we’re going to prove it. Scroll on to see which color is your favorite. (And maybe shop a new silhouette.)

Black will always be, well, the new black. You can never go wrong when purchasing a black purse.

Just like black, … Read more

After coming home from a long day, there is nothing better than the relief of finally taking off your bra and letting yourself loose from the uncomfortable confines you’ve been subjected to for hours on end. (Sorry to sound so dramatic, but I think you know what I mean.) However, struggling to wrap your hands around your back while peering over your shoulder into the mirror as you attempt to undo the snag in the clasp in the back is not ideal. Is a little support and functionality too much to ask for?

The solution to both these problems is simple: front-closure bras. Not only does this supremely comfortable style boast a clasp in the front that is perfectly situated for easy removal, but it also pulls your breasts forward and together, which provides the exact support and lift a lot of us look for in our favorite bras. … Read more

As we approach warmer months, I have one thing on my mind: sunscreen. (Forgive me, I’m a beauty editor.) I am a ride-or-die sunscreen user. It’s a part of my morning skincare routine no matter the weather or season, but when I start spending more time outside, sunscreen becomes a pivotal part of my beauty routine.

One thing that always puzzles me about sunscreen, however, is reapplication. Conventional wisdom from derms dictates that we should be reapplying sunscreen every two hours (or every 40 to 80 minutes when swimming or sweating). That’s easy enough to remember, but what am I supposed to do if I have a full face of makeup on?

Luckily, there’s an easy solution for staying protected from the sun without trying to spread sunscreen on top of your makeup. Enter setting sprays with SPF, which make SPF reapplication a breeze, even if you’re sporting a full … Read more

Did anyone realize Santa Monica has an airport? We didn’t either. Apparently it’s been used since 1917, thus making it one of the oldest continually operating airports in all of the United States. Fascinating. But besides it being a quirky fun fact and a part of aviation history, the tiny single-runway hub served as the backdrop for one of Los Angeles’s most eclectic events, Frieze Los Angeles.

On a dreary, overcast day, Day 1 of the art fair commenced in a windswept part of Santa Monica, a line of ubers and black cars with VIPs stretched out waiting at the entrance. From across the globe collectors, artists, curators, and the art-curious gathered in two huge tents to see what’s next in the world of contemporary art and culture. An offshoot of Frieze Magazine, Frieze was conceptualized as an international art fair by the title’s founders, with its inaugural event taking … Read more

As much as I wish I could get my hands on every new designer bag (I’m talking about you, Prada Cleo), it most certainly isn’t in my budget right now. But just because I can’t spend too much doesn’t mean I can’t add an A+ bag to my collection. There are a variety of bags in all price ranges, and if you’re looking for luxe bags at a more affordable price point, then you’ve come to the right place. These brands are better than your average fast-fashion selects but still less than some contemporary brands on the market.

Below, you’ll find six handbag brands that Who What Wear editors love and are constantly featuring in our stories. The best part? The options below are all mostly under $250, which you won’t believe when you see how good they look.

I own a few of JW Pei’s bags, and people never … Read more
