FASHION

Work wardrobes have been sitting mostly idle since March 2020 when the pandemic hit. With many still working remotely, now may be the time to cash in on some of those office outfits that are just hanging in the closet.

The Met Gala in September? Thanks to COVID-19, the annual event (which hasn’t happened since 2019) was pushed back from May, and boy did the celebrities step out Monday night in their wildest fashion game.

There is a new trend sweeping the nation, and if you’ve never owned a pair, you probably just don’t get it yet.

Maybe you’re preparing to return to in-person work. Perhaps you came back to the office months ago. Or maybe you’ll be doing some combination of remote employment and in-office days, balancing Zoom calls from your living room with physical appearances.

Fashion companies around the world have been adapting to the pandemic, as many of us have. And some companies are promoting new technology on their fabrics or textiles that prevent bacteria and viruses. But CNN reports that the claims may be more for marketing than virus prevention. Under Armor’s new sport mask claims it has antimicrobial properties. Price told CNN that there may be a future in antimicrobial technology, but right now there is just too incomplete a picture.

When compared to front line service industries fighting to keep people alive and fed the fashion industry has taken a back seat during the pandemic. The pandemic pushed pause on the fashion industry across the globe, an industry that is both a creative mecca and on the world’s most significant fiscal heavyweights. Forbes claims that store closures and down sales lead to western fashion brands cancelling over 2.8 billion dollars in orders from Bangladeshi suppliers. Dozens of luxury brands have stepped up, like Tiffany and Company, Prada and Dolce and Gabbana, all rallying and donating to hospitals and those at the center of the crisis. In the luxury sector, brands are predicted to experience a 10 billion dollar decline in luxury sales, and overall the industry could lose $30-40 billion in sales.

We could all stand to save a few bucks whenever we can, so why not declutter your bathroom and start using some beauty products that can do more than one thing? StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan is well versed when it comes to beauty products, so he knows a thing or two when it comes to condensing your inventory and only using the products that you really need in your daily life. You can obviously use the product for washing your hair, but Jordan suggests you try it as a body wash, as well. Another great product that can be used in different ways is something men may have in their bathroom: beard oil. There are lots of other things Jordan recommends, so watch the entire video to get all the tips from a professional.

That’s why StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan is here to help you figure out what’s best for your face. You’ll often see skincare products that are either opaque or clear. Lotions that are cream-based and heavy are the opaque options, and products that are see-through are a little lighter on your skin. Jordan said that, depending on your preferences, one option is better than the other when it comes to your skin. The same can be applied to a lot of other beauty products, such as shampoo, conditioner and even facial mists.

So many of us already have in place a beauty routine that just works. But heres something that everyone should start doing -- and all it involves is a trip to your nearest grocery store. Thats right, as you can probably tell from this video, youre going to want some citrus. Citrus and acid, which can be found in lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit (to name just a few) have tons of beauty benefits that you probably didnt know about, and StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan is here to explain. Watch Jordans latest video above, and make sure you subscribe to the StyleWise YouTube channel so you never miss a new video.

Putting on fake eyelashes might be foreign territory for you, but don’t lash out too quickly -- we’ve got you covered on the best tips and trades to applying a fake eyelash for any fun night out on the town. There are different ways to extend your eyelashes to maximum volume, but StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan suggests going with the good old fashioned fake eyelash. Some people don’t like the glue that goes on the eyelid, so they might opt out for a lash extension put on by a professional, but if you’re cool with applying the glue yourself, fake eyelashes can be fun and effective at upgrading your look. A classic fake eyelash will surely get the job done, but there has been some innovation in the fake eyelash world, and there are a lot of great products out there that let you have more control over how much of the fake eyelash goes on your face. To learn about that, and so much more, watch the latest StyleWise video above, and make sure you subscribe to StyleWise so you never miss a video.

This might be a news flash to all the men out in the world, but there are actual ways that you’re supposed to be shaving your beard, based from the shape of your face. Not only do you want to make sure you’re shaving high enough on your neck to create a beard line, but you’ll also need to pay attention as to where you should make the line on your cheeks. According to Jordan, the line placements depends on the shape of your face, so it can get complicated if you’re just shaving and not taking these factors into consideration. There are so many dos and don’ts when it comes to shaving, and luckily, Jordan has a solution for all of your grooming needs.

(CNN) -- Dancewear companies around the world are pledging to introduce different shades of skin-colored clothing after dancers demanded greater inclusiveness. Australian dancewear company Bloch also promised to include a wider range of darker shades in its upcoming season. While offering darker color shades in shoes, tights and leotards is a first step, there are other issues Bell would like to see the dance world address. Bell said many black dancers are "forced to straighten their hair and go to extreme lengths to assimilate to the standards set by white dance directors."
