I know to tailor my work outfits to my evening plans, as the fashion world is much ...

As psychologist Dr. Karen Pine explains, “What we wear can change not only how others perceive us but also how we perceive ourselves.” That’s both empowering and revealing. Because if our choices come from insecurity rather than self-expression, people can sense it no matter how polished the outfit looks. Let’s take a closer look at some “confidence boosters” that might be doing the opposite. 1. Wearing luxury logos to prove your worth There’s so...

At just 18 years old, Holden Bierman is proving that you don’t need to be a corporate giant to make a difference for the planet. The North Carolina teen is the founder of Coastal Cool, a sustainable swimwear brand transforming plastic waste from the ocean into stylish, high-quality beachwear. Bierman first launched the company at only 13, using a $500 loan from his parents to create T-shirts and hoodies before realizing he wanted to do something that directly benefited the earth. Over time, his research led him to eco-friendly materials made from recycled plastic bottles and ocean-bound waste, now used in every swimsuit his brand sells. Each purchase from Coastal Cool funds the removal of one pound of ocean plastic through a partnership with Tidey Ocean, a nonprofit that provides fair-pay ...

Paris is the fashion capital of the world – a paradise of couture and craftsmanship stretching back centuries. The city’s very name connotes luxury and glamour.
