The new year is already off with a bang, and with spring right around the corner, it’s time to focus on things that make us feel good. Your home is where your heart is, and these past few years, many of us have spent a lot of time at home. It might just be time for a refresh! 

Now that we can be out and feel like ourselves again, why not try a new look or invest in something that boosts your confidence and mood? Have a little fun and work smarter—not harder. Whatever you are shopping for this season, get a fresh start with these eight essential “must-haves” for spring 2023. 

1. Pepper Home Will Drape Your Room in Style

One of the best ways to make the most of spring is a home refresh. One way you can dramatically change the look and feel of a room is with custom curtains from Pepper Home. Most wall colors can only provide a foundation for your room, while your window coverings help add design, personality, and style. The only difficult thing may be deciding which ones to get. 

Custom curtains are exactly what they sound like—curtains that are tailored to your exact specifications. While many windows come in “standard” sizes, a one-size-fits-all approach is so 1950s. 

By customizing your treatments, you never have to worry about finding a pre-measured curtain to fit a non-traditional window. You also won’t have to settle for cookie-cutter curtains; choose from rod pocket, ring top, or grommet. You can even “pick your pleat” and go with a more traditional pinch pleat or a sophisticated tailored one. 

Let’s not forget about fabric. The choice of linen for your tailored curtains is as important as the color and pattern you choose. From light to thick and heavy, custom curtains are as functional as they are stylish. They allow light to stream into a room or block it, creating the mood and supporting the overall comfort of the space. 

Your home is where you will entertain and relax in 2023, so make each room as comfortable as possible and drape it in style. 

2. Dive Right Into 1AND1 Life

Not literally, but according to 1AND1 Life, one way to welcome spring this year is to dive right into a new health routine and try a cold plunge. Yes, a cold plunge is exactly what you think it is—submerging your entire body into ice cold water. 

While you have no doubt seen this on some nature channel, the practice is not all hype. Taking a cold plunge can help you reap excellent health benefits.

Cold water therapy (the cold plunge) is regularly used in professional sports to help eliminate pain and possibly speed up muscle recovery. It is also suggested that cold water therapy can encourage circulation, boost your mood, and even make you more resilient. 

Professionals in the healthcare industry don’t deny the potential benefits of a cold plunge, but they advise using extreme caution in how you approach the activity, especially if you have a prior heart condition. Luckily, there are several methods of cold plunge that can be adapted to any level of experience. 

If you are a beginner, consider a lower-cost portable bathtub for a cold plunge. This is a great and inexpensive way to test the waters (literally) before going “all-in.” It can also be a great option for travelers, allowing you to take your tub on the go. 

For the veteran cold-plungers, a more sophisticated and permanent fixture that allows for control of hot and cold water gives the user the best of both worlds. You can have a cold plunge and a hot tub in one for the spring. 

3. Feel Delicious With Snif

If you feel the urge to try something new and just for you this season, be delicious with some cherry perfume from Snif. There are a lot of benefits of using a fragrance that you truly love, and trying a new perfume can help you find a new favorite. 

First, wearing a delightful and fun perfume can enhance your mood. You can trigger happy childhood memories with something playful like a cherry fragrance or opt for something soothing like eucalyptus or lavender.

A heavenly perfume can also give your confidence a lift and make you feel more attractive. So put on your favorite outfit, hit your favorite local dive, and enjoy feeling like all eyes are on you!

Perfumes and scents, like the ones found in certain essential oils, can even help with headaches and support your ability to fall asleep and rest more easily. Once you identify the perfumes that you like, you can start to make the most of them. 

4. Face the Facts, Thanks to JS Health

There is a little-known secret that no adult ever tells you as a teenager: you will likely have breakouts for the rest of your life. Of course, that is a generalization, but if you ever had acne as a child, chances are it will continue. Luckily, JSHealth offers vitamins for clear skin that can help calm down breakouts and support skin health.

Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and blemishes are only one example of symptoms caused by unhealthy skin. Vitamins that you can apply topically to your skin can be just as effective as ingestible vitamins. These include serums, oils, and moisturizers (to name a few) that can revitalize and rejuvenate your skin.

The process of deciding which skincare products are right for you can be quite daunting. Considering the cost of a lot of these items is also significant, you might question whether you need skincare at all. Thankfully, some companies have made it easy with pre-grouped skincare kits that are customized for certain skin problems. 

Specifically, a 4-step vitamin skincare system can take the mystery out of how to get clearer skin. By delivering effective and science-backed vitamins, nutrients, and botanicals to the skin, these products can support deeply hydrated, smoother, and nourished skin. Vitamins for your skin are an essential must-have for spring.

5. Cruelty-Free Beauty From Pacifica Beauty

(Pacifica Beauty)

Vegan makeup from Pacifica Beauty follows the same cruelty-free rules as the vegan diet—it consists of zero animal products. Most of these beauty lines (and others) are also cruelty-free, which means their products are not tested on animals. By choosing a vegan makeup line, you can enjoy a confidence boost while your conscience remains guilt-free. 

Not only are animals safe with vegan makeup, but so is your skin. There is no need for the harsh chemicals or toxic pollutants that are found in some makeups. These can easily aggravate skin and sometimes even contribute to more skin problems.

Vegan makeup ingredients are derived from plants, which are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and can therefore support healthy-looking skin. And now that vegan makeup is comparable in price to traditional makeup lines, more people are adding it to their essential beauty list. 

Using a beauty line that reflects your mindset and supports a lifestyle that is important to you is more than essential—it’s priceless!

6. Powder Power at BUBS Naturals

We’ve all heard of the health benefits of avocado and coconut oil. But perhaps a slightly less well-known example is MCT, or medium-chain triglycerides. 

MCT is commonly found in coconut and palm oil and can be formulated as an MCT powder like the one from BUBS Naturals. Packed with similar health benefits to omega-3 (fish oil) but without the less-than-desirable smell, MCT powder should be seriously considered an essential item this spring. 

As its popularity has grown over the years, MCT has been associated with increased energy, healthy appetite, and even cardiovascular support. This connection has been discovered in part due to the rise of the ketogenic diet and new research on the benefits of coconut oil.

In powder form, MCT becomes a much more convenient supplement. Due to its light and free-flowing properties, it is soluble in both hot and cold liquids. 

Even better—incorporate MCT powder into your baked goods. There are also claims that the powder form is easier to digest than liquid oil, which means that even those with sensitive systems can benefit.

Using MCT powder can support your energy levels because it takes the express route to the liver, where the ketogenic magic happens. MCT can also help support gut health and curb those awful sugar and appetite cravings. 

Show yourself some love by adding MCT powder to your 2023 spring routine.

7. This and Tat With Mad Rabbit

Tattoo fans and artists can finally rejoice since protocols have gone back to “normal,” and it’s safe to get ink once again. As with any change to your skin or body, be sure to do the proper research when getting a tattoo. In addition to design and placement, be sure to consider Mad Rabbit tattoo aftercare. 

If you don’t properly care for your tattoo, it can fade or get ruined. In addition, improper care can lead to infection, so it is important to do your homework. Luckily, aftercare for tattoos isn’t difficult once you know what you must do. 

Keep your tattoo covered with the initial bandage that you are given by the artist. It’s important to keep it clean and free of dust and debris in the air. It may even be less painful to keep it covered. When removing or changing the bandage, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap and warm water. 

You should wash the actual tattoo itself—but never use harsh scrubbing motions or a washcloth. Use anti-bacterial soap and lukewarm water and then pat dry with a clean paper towel. 

The most important step in tattoo care is moisturizing. This can prevent it from cracking, bleeding, and drying out (which can also be painful). Until your scabs have fully healed, it’s generally recommended that you moisturize three to four times a day. 

When taken care of properly, there is no reason why your tattoo won’t stay fresh and bright for many years to come. As with anything, be sure to consult your doctor if you have any concerns about how your tattoo is healing. 

8. Work It at a Branch Furniture Desk

Remote work wasn’t a choice for many of us, and we quickly discovered how unprepared we were to work from home. If you’re going to get ready for spring 2023, revamp your private workspace with a workstation desk from Branch Furniture.

A desk should be more than a mere tabletop—it’s a piece of furniture that should inspire you and look beautiful in your home. However, it should also be functional. It is not possible to be productive if you don’t have moving room, organization, and comfort in your workspace. A workstation style desk can check all three boxes in style!

Sufficient space is key when choosing a workstation desk. Think carefully about how you use the desk. 

Do you primarily type on your laptop or use a monitor? You will want a desk that has space for those devices, as well as room for you to spread out your work. You’ll also want room for a good lamp that will keep your workspace well-lit. 

As for organization, many workstation desks come in designs that are more modern and streamlined. This type of style encourages minimal waste and clutter. Consider using a small file cabinet or hanging storage for more organization and storage options. 

Remember that less is more. If your desk is overwhelmed by papers and objects, it will be hard to focus on the task at hand. 

Use a workstation desk to streamline your home office functions this spring. 

The Bottom Line

This spring, put the focus on yourself and your home, work, and healthy lifestyle with these eight essential items. You’ll be glad you did. 

Consumers are growing more conscious of their carbon footprint and are actively seeking ways to lessen the impact of their purchases on the planet. Recent studies from McKinsey and NielsenIQ show that, on several metrics, consumers are gravitating towards products that make ESG claims. Though sustainability-focused marketing is clearly having an impact on consumer purchasing decisions, the study also showed that authenticity of these claims are just as important as the claims themselves; consumers want to make sure companies are walking the walk when it comes to ESG. Which types of business sustainability programs and strategies are proving popular among consumers and useful for both parties?

Some are building sustainability into their core business model. Refashion sites such as Poshmark deploy a variety of strategies, including the use of eco-friendly packaging and upcycling, their business model of keeping vintage and unique clothing in circulation, and building awareness for other sustainable brands on their platform. Other businesses are taking direction from international organizations and initiatives for corporate climate responsibility like the the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). QSR chain Wendy’s is integrating SBTi goals into its KPIs working to hopefully reduce emissions by 47% by 2030, working across its value chain to develop renewable electricity procurement, collaborating with suppliers to reduce emissions, and identifying projects that are eco-friendly. Open Farm, a northeast-based ethically-sourced pet food company, is making its sustainability commitments a key part of its customer-facing marketing strategy and consumer experience, launching an online carbon experience showing the carbon footprints of all its products with a commitment to reduce direct emissions by 42% by 2030, in tandem with minimizing indirect emissions from raw materials.

Drea Burbank, MD, CEO at Savimbo, an environmental project development and fair-trade carbon credits company, weighs in on other options for business sustainability programs and their strategic viability for meeting climate-conscious goals and enticing the consumer.

Drea’s Thoughts

“I’m a project developer in the Colombia Amazon, and I’m a total eco nerd, and all I do all day every day is talk to small farmers about how to stop deforestation by paying them in carbon credit sales. It’s my favorite job I’ve ever done. One of the things that [retailers] totally miss all the time about sustainability in retail is that those tiny little checkout functions where you can round up your purchase in order to help the environment, they drive so much to the market right now.

Some of the best innovation in sustainability is happening because of companies that do roundup purchasing. Companies like Stripe, the airline industry, you’ve probably seen it on your bank checkout. Create an account, put $5 towards a tree. That stuff, those impulsive purchases as a consumer when you buy your sale, are actually giving such a big signal to the entire world that people care.

They’re willing to pay a little bit more in order to get a better eco-friendly product. That signal is changing laws. It’s changing the way people are funding projects. It’s changing the kind of projects that you can do. It’s changing the carbon credit market. There’s a lot of criticism about carbon credits and like, why environmental projects and whether they’re good enough.

But the reality is we have to try. We have to move forward, and we have to do it now. And sustainability in retail is being driven by consumers and it’s being driven by these tiny little purchases. So don’t stop.”

PARIS — March 13, 2023 — Chargeurs PCC, global manufacturer of interlining and inner components for clothing, reports 2022 revenues of Euro 220 million, up 33,4% on Euro 164,9 million in 2021.

The double-digit growth for the last fiscal year is the result of a business plan substantially based on three pillars: a cross-selling and continuously expanding offer, a concrete commitment to sustainability, and a strong global presence.

Being the foremost destination for all things entertainment, Bollywood Hungama is kicking off the celebration of 25 years with the maiden edition of Bollywood Hungama Style Icons 2023. Bollywood Hungama has maintained a standard of reportage in terms of celebrities, films, music, lifestyle, television and international content. And now, the first edition of the award show will honour notable names from the entertainment industry who continue to leave an impact in the fashion and lifestyle industries. With only a few weeks left for the award show, the nominations for Most Stylish Social Warrior are out and the five top names that have received nods includes Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Sonu Sood, Priyanka Chopra and Dia Mirza.

BH Style Icons 2023: From Alia Bhatt to Priyanka Chopra, here are the nominations for Most Stylish Social Warrior

ALIA BHATT

Without a question, Alia Bhatt is a formidable force in the film business. Bhatt has always had a keen eye for style and how to make an impression with her looks. The starlet is known for her ability to start talks with her outfits, whether she is promoting her movies or getting ready for the red carpet. As we further examine her look books, we find that she has an enviously large collection of intriguing styles, including high-low hemlines, wrap-around midis, and dresses with cut-outs and mixed-patterns. Though she resists wearing jewellery, Bhatt likes to pair her clothes with colourful kitten heels and white sneakers. She adores wearing sarees, flowy gowns, and co-ord sets.

BHUMI PEDNEKAR

Dum Laga Ke Haisha, a film that made Bhumi Pednekar famous for reasons other than her acting prowess, launched her into the spotlight for the first time in 2015. Later, when she appeared in other films, it became evident that Pednekar had a talent to be reckoned with and that she also had a few sartorial tricks up her sleeve. Her wardrobe consists primarily of items we may readily find in our own wardrobes, such as skirts, blouses, jeans, tops, dresses, and ethnic wear, reflecting a more informal and practical sense of style.

DIA MIRZA

In 2001, Dia Mirza made her acting debut in the beloved romance drama Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, which launched her to stardom. She frequently used her celebrity status to inspire change as her career progressed. She is an active advocate for social and environmental problems both online and offline. Mirza has a sophisticated and serious sense of style. Wearing clothing from brands and designers with an eye for the environment, who support fair trade, ethical production, and animal rights are necessary. Mirza gives handloom a platform for a bigger, global audience while making it an active decision. She has always practised what she preached, from donning chic handloom saris to a striking ikat lehenga to maxi gowns made of eco-friendly materials.

PRIYANKA CHOPRA

One of Bollywood’s most distinctively stylish stars is Priyanka Chopra. The performer has given us some of the most memorable outfits throughout the course of her nearly two-decade career, sending the fashion world into a frenzy each time. The actor’s personal closet showcases her sartorial journey and is filled with versatile clothing, from flowery dresses for relaxed days to powerful professional attire including blazers, blazer suits, and button-up shirts. Don’t forget about glam outfits like slip dresses and even sarees that might be appropriate for somewhat dressier occasions like dating and night outs. The star never misses an opportunity to make a statement with her attire.

SONU SOOD

One may assume that Sonu Sood, a part-time actor and a full-time philanthropist, wouldn’t have time for anything else given his two extremely busy activities. But, it appears that the actor has discovered a third interest, which is becoming a fashion influencer. He often sports a strong, angular look. He like wearing jackets or t-shirts with jeans.

To counter the increasingly negative climate news Click A Tree launches an innovative Arbor Day campaign with the goal to plant thousands of free trees.

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY, March 13, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — To counter the increasingly negative climate news Click A Tree, the holistically sustainable reforestation company, has come up with a unique idea to plant trees for you in honor of Arbor Day. The best part? They’re paying for it.

For the last three years, Click A Tree has celebrated Arbor Day with giveaways, competitions, and special tree deals to raise awareness of the importance of trees. This year, they’re asking their networks for their favorite first names that will be an integral part of their 2023 Arbor Day campaign.

Starting on the 1st of April, structured like an advent calendar, people can open one of the 26 virtual doors of the Arbor Day calendar to see which name gets to plant a free tree. People who carry this chosen first name can then plant their free tree through Click A Tree’s Universal Impact Platform, which also allows them to follow the impact of their tree.

Even if your name wasn’t chosen for this Arbor Day campaign, you can still help reforest the planet by forwarding the Arbor Day calendar to a person with this name. Helping the Earth heal is a job for all of us. That’s why Click A Tree started the #freetree4you campaign.

By planting these trees, you not only fight climate change but also create jobs, habitats for wildlife, a safe food source by using the technique of syntropic farming, and more.

To be the first to know which names get to plant free trees, follow Click A Tree’s Instagram page.

What is Arbor Day?

“Arbor” is the Latin word for “tree”. Hence “Arbor Day” literally means “Tree Day”. It’s a day to let out your inner tree hugger and raise awareness of the importance of trees.

Who’s Behind This?

Click A Tree exists to implement doing good in our everyday lives. By developing self-sufficient ecosystems through planting trees, they make Earth more hospitable for all living beings.

With their holistically sustainable approach to planting trees, they create jobs with full-time income for local communities, build habitats for endangered animal species, and actively fight climate change.

Their mission is to create a healthy ecosystem for all living beings because it makes our planet a healthier, fairer (and better) place for everyone inhabiting it.

Because trees are more than just a CO2 number. In the end, we’re all sharing the same planet – and it’s the only one we’ve got.

After loungewear stole the show in 2020, new fits and trend cycles coupled with the reopening of workplaces gave men’s and women’s denim brands a new lease on life in 2021.

Jeans generated $18.4 billion in U.S. sales last year, an increase of 36 percent over the prior year, and a 9 percent increase over pre-pandemic levels in 2019, based on Consumer Tracking Service data from The NPD Group. Sales for women’s jeans increased 9 percent and men’s increased 12 percent versus in 2019.  

With many of the themes that helped reinvigorate the men’s and women’s categories trickling into kids, Maria Rugolo, NPD apparel industry analyst, said there’s room for growth in the children’s denim market. Children’s jeans account for 10 percent of total jean sales for the 12 months ending August 2022. “This is not performing to its potential as kids account for 14 percent of total apparel sales,” she said. 

The kids’ denim market—which NPD defines as girls 13 and under and boys 14 and under—accounted for over $1.8 billion in U.S. sales revenue. Unit sales are down 11 percent versus last year, however, Rugolo said children’s jeans revenue is down just two percentage points due to higher average selling prices.

The bright spot for both dollar and unit sales growth for kids’ jeans right now compared to last is in mass stores, she added. 

Value remains a key driver in consumer purchasing decisions for children’s denim. Looking across all mass and value retailers tracked by retail intelligence firm Edited reveals a mix of pureplay and own-brand offerings. Top stockists include Shein, Levi’s, OshKosh B’gosh, Rainbow and Gap. So far this season, Katherine Bailey, Edited children’s wear analyst, said the $25-$30 price bracket is the most popular range for full-price children’s denim, accounting for 26 percent of all denim products.

While mass retailers receive most of consumers’ denim dollars, online and direct-to-consumer channels have become a crucial part of brands’ businesses, especially as the children’s independent boutique business inches closer to extinction with each financial crisis. A quarter of revenue for children’s jeans is spent online, according to NPD. While online revenue is down two points from last year, Rugolo said it is still higher than pre-pandemic levels.  

DL1961, which offers premium denim for sizes 2T to girls’ 16 and boys’ 18, said its direct-to-consumer digital channel continues to grow year over year. Likewise, heritage brand and Carter’s Inc. subsidiary OshKosh B’gosh is seeing the most success in its own physical stores. 

Creature comforts

The popularity of children’s denim has long been tested by leggings and athletic apparel, perhaps even more so than its adult counterparts thanks to the bottoms’ array of colors, prints, and licensed characters, and their mix-and-match appeal. However, the pandemic and subsequent school closures and social distancing amplified this demand for the comfort-driven, size-forgiving, elastic-waisted staples. 

“The pandemic impacted us in 2020, as kids were homeschooled and wearing sweats and leggings,” said Sarah Ahmed, DL1961 chief creative officer. Despite their offering of jeans made with “ultra-soft fibers and stretch,” the New York City-based brand saw sales shift from blue jeans to joggers and comfort knit styles during covid.  

“I think kids and parents got used to being more comfortable in what they are wearing with covid and staying at home,” said Louise Vongerichten Ulukaya, founder and CEO of the “Made in Portugal” children’s brand Mon Coeur. “Consumers are looking for comfortable denim options for their kids, and the traditional rough denim is probably not as popular as it used to be.” 

Mon Coeur’s solution for kids’ sizes 2-8 has been straight cut gender-neutral shapes—which Vongerichten Ulukaya said are both stylish and practical—and pull-on jogger styles for babies. “Consumers are looking for comfort and it still must look good. That has not changed, everyone wants to feel good in what’s there are wearing, and this is why our denim has done so well,” she said.

Similar to what Zoom did to office attire, virtual schooling forced kids’ brands to evolve to suit their customer’s changing preferences. “Competing with the booming loungewear market meant integrating details that enhanced wear, like elasticated waists and soft linings, and merging shapes to create hybrid options like denim joggers,” Bailey said. “Where hardwearing fabrics were once a priority, now comfort and ease of movement ranked highly.”

Indeed, OshKosh is seeing a new trend in boys with the consumer leaning towards pull-on styles with a functional drawcord over the traditional 5-pocket styling, said Zia Taylor, OshKosh B’gosh VP of design. The heritage brand’s Fall 2021 collaboration with Kith Kids—the streetwear retailer’s first partnership with a children’s apparel brand—centered on tees, crewnecks, hoodies, and sweatpants with rinse-wash denim overalls, jeans and jacket making up a small fraction of the overall assortment. 

However, a year later the OshKosh consumer is finding comfort in looser denim fits, creating new opportunities for the brand outside the skinny jean/jegging cycle. “Slouchy and relaxed denim fits paired with tees and with a denim jacket are always a win,” said Carissa Atkins, OshKosh B’gosh senior director of merchandising.

Similar to working from home for adults, Kendall Becker, fashion and beauty trends editor at Trendalytics, said the kids’ denim market saw a lag during peak pandemic years. “With that being said, the interest has been revitalized, not only from a trend standpoint but sizing, too. Newness not only is a want but a need for many, especially for kids as they’ve grown over the remote years to back in-person. All in all, these factors give confidence in the growth of the category,” she said.

DL1961 is already seeing the tide turning back in favor of jeans. Once schools began to open back up, Ahmed said the company “saw a massive uptick in overall denim sales” and business bounced back from covid within one year. Ahmed said the company was on track to end 2022 as its strongest year to date. “With the trends changing so quickly and the demand for wider leg options, we have been a key resource for our retail partners,” she said. “Denim is definitely having a moment right now.”

Big little ideas

To understand what’s trending in the children’s category, look to the women’s and men’s markets for clues.

“Trickle-down from the men’s and women’s wear market plays a significant role in children’s denim trends, with runway-informed narratives like Y2K, collegiate/preppy, and grunge showing influence,” Bailey said. 

However, the approach to trends is softer in children’s wear. Becker said more approachable iterations hit the market on a later timeline after it has resonated with the more mature counterparts. 

For boys, Edited’s data shows that “commercial silhouettes” like slim and straight jeans are being updated with baggy and relaxed styles that reflect a move away from restrictive shapes. Boys’ jeans with utility details like patch pockets are also picking up momentum this fall, following “the cargo pant revival,” Bailey said. 

Echoing Edited’s data, Ahmed said DL1961’s best-selling styles for boys include new utility joggers and hooded jackets. “Cargo pockets and utility detailing have been a big trend in boys,” she said. “We also do very well with our classic slim legs, especially our navy and khaki twills for back-to-school shopping.”

There’s also been an interest in “mommy and me” dressing across categories, Becker said. The search volume for “mommy and me” is high at 12,000 average weekly searches and an average of 263 social media posts a week. 

Parents’ nostalgia for Y2K fashion as well as the era’s flair for glitz and novelty designs make it a perfect match for girls’ denim. Edited named the era’s signature fits—wide-leg and flare jeans—as fits to watch.

DL1961’s trends for girls closely mirror its women’s business. The new Emie High Rise Straight has been a best seller across all department stores and its new Lily High Rise Wide Leg is “gaining a ton of momentum,” Ahmed said. Though the brand still has a solid business with fall staples like classic miniskirts and skinny jeans.

OshKosh B’gosh saw consumers gravitate to its core denim assortment during the back-to-school season, stocking up on skinny, straight and relaxed fits for boys and skinny, super skinny and jegging fits for girls. However, the denim trends for adults are the source of excitement for the heritage brand, which is seeing higher rises, flare fits, wide leg and relaxed fits trickle into children’s wear. “For girls, we are seeing a lot of consumers purchase our flare silhouette style,” Atkins said. 

Wider legs are becoming a norm across girls’ assortments, Becker said. The style is up 24 percentage points in average weekly searches compared with last year. “As we know, skinny jeans and leggings, especially in children’s, were the standard and that’s certainly shifted,” she added. 

Though the color palette remains overwhelmingly in favor of tones of blue, Edited’s data shows retailers are venturing into more experimental aesthetics, with new arrivals showing up in brown, neutral and pastel tones.

“Colored denim is also having quite the resurgence with colors like sage, mauve, butter yellow and steel blue owning this trend,” Becker said. “This is one to watch as it’s most saturated in the women’s luxury market at the moment, making it a key indicator of the trend trickling down.”

Variations of washes are driving boys’ trends, she added, noting that grey stonewash, acidic olive green and distressed blue are leading new arrivals. 

Digital-native kiddos are also turning to social media for style inspiration. Becker said the age of social media influencers is increasingly becoming younger which provides a correlation to the wants of their audiences. 

“The normality of influencers in the children’s wear market is more important than ever with increasing access to social platforms that didn’t exist prior,” she said. “Kids can keep up with their idols in real time rather just in magazines or on the television as in generations past.” 

Opportunities abound

The children’s category also brings its own unique opportunities.

Bailey said “significant strides” have been made recently in children’s denim by Abercrombie & Fitch, which introduced a size-inclusive collection for kids in July. Though size inclusivity has been a dominant conversation in the women’s market, the children’s denim market lacked a leader until now. 

Designed based on feedback from more than 1,000 customers and following two years of fit testing, the entire range features inbuilt waistband adjusters and includes short, regular, and long lengths to ensure as accurate a fit as possible.

“Age is just one factor in finding the right fit, but by introducing multiple lengths, expanding the size range, and including waistband adjusters in every pair, kids can now enjoy the same experience as adults: find a waist size, find a length, and enjoy their comfiest denim fit,” said Kelly Hall, senior vice president and general manager of Abercrombie Kids. 

Edited has also tracked “exponential growth” in the number of jean multi-packs in stock across the last three years. Bailey said numbers more than doubled from 2021 to 2022 “as a result of significant uplifts in options” at retailers like H&M and The Children’s Place. Jeans sold as a two-pack is the most common pack size, accounting for 56 percent of intake. However, she said bundles extend to encompass as many as five pairs. 

“The dramatic market expansion of multi-packs will favor cash-strapped consumers seeking cost-effective purchases, while retailers will benefit from higher overall order values and slashed packaging costs,” she added.

Packs work in children’s brands’ favor because demand for constant newness has less importance in the category compared to men’s and women’s. The slower pace of trends allows brands to invest more in quality and production. Whereas many brands license out their children’s ranges, DL1961’s vertical operation allows the company to produce its kids’ jeans in-house, utilizing the same fabrics featured in the men’s and women’s collections. “This sets us apart in the market,” Ahmed said.

As important as sustainability is, Becker said Trendalytics is seeing a downturn in searches for sustainable fashion across all categories. Searches for the term are down 40 percent in average weekly searches compared with last year. 

The right consumer, however, appreciates children’s brands with a sustainable backbone. “We are one of the few kids’ denim brands in the market right now that is sustainable and eco-friendly. This appeals to the millennial mom who is conscious of the environment,” Ahmed said. 

Though DL1961 strikes on the right trends and fits, the brand prioritizes recycled and renewable fibers, clean dyes, ozone and laser finishing technologies and produces in solar power and energy-efficient closed-loop manufacturing facilities. The brand recently introduced Recover-branded recycled cotton fibers in its men’s and women’s ranges and is currently discussing adding it to its kids’ range in future seasons. 

 “Sustainability is a huge selling point for DL1961’s wholesale partners and consumers,” Ahmed said. “Consumers care about the environmental impact and want to invest in sustainable clothing.”

/EIN News/ — New York, US, March 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cosmetics Market Overview:

According to a Comprehensive Research Report by Market Research Future (MRFR), Cosmetics Market Information By Product Type, Category, Distribution Channel, And Region – Forecast till 2030“; the market will reach USD 0.4 billion by 2030 at a 5.34% CAGR.

Market Synopsis

One of the key reasons driving the market growth during the forecast period is the significant expansion in the acceptance of skincare and personal care products, along with the rise in the aging population worldwide. Because they can improve a person’s look and benefit personality, cosmetics products have evolved into necessities in life. Several international businesses have been in charge of producing such things. To meet the end-users’ specific needs, they provide a wide range of goods, such as those for the care of the face, hair, and lips, among others. Also, consumers are drawn to the growing number of anti-aging product launches and the creation of simple packaging and small, portable containers. Each person has a unique hair type, skin color, eye color, and lip shape. As a result, producers are putting more effort into creating and maintaining a broad range of products that may satisfy each person’s unique needs.

Rising styles and considerable product innovation in hair color and other skincare products’ formulations and packaging all contribute to the market’s expansion. Manufacturers are altering their product marketing and advertising techniques to increase sales in numerous nations.  Manufacturing companies have introduced new goods with all-natural components and appealing packaging as well as other cutting-edge strategies to increase sales of their skincare products. Because cosmetics have become a necessity in people’s lives, consumers, particularly women, desire to use cosmetics that are lightweight and convenient to use while commuting or attending social events. Also, using natural ingredients to make cosmetic products that don’t hurt the skin is a typical strategy used by manufacturers to attract more clients. However, it is projected that the negative effects of regular usage of cosmetic products brought on by hazardous chemicals will restrain market growth over the projection period.

Market Drivers:

Also, it is anticipated that during the forecast period, there will be a considerable increase in brand awareness and the impact of cosmetic items through social platforms. Consumers’ preference for organic cosmetics over chemical-based cosmetics is supported by the growing knowledge of cosmetics products and their beneficial effects on the skin, further driving the market’s expansion. Celebrities and millennials have a sizable appetite for fragrance items, contributing to the market’s expansion throughout the projection period. The growing consumer preference for natural products, combined with growing knowledge of natural ingredients-based products and their impact on the body, is driving the market’s expansion.

Due to the older population’s increased usage of anti-aging products, including lotions and hair dye, to change their hair color, the market is also experiencing tremendous growth. With more and more consumers interested in exclusively purchasing chemical-free items, “returning to original nature” is becoming a fashion statement. The demand for organic and natural cosmetics is increasing as people become more aware of the risks to their health and the perils of harmful chemicals in non-organic goods. Because they are safe and non-toxic, products made with naturally derived substances are becoming more and more popular all over the world. Due to public awareness of sustainability development, there will likely be a rise in the demand for eco-friendly items shortly. This is due to growing public knowledge of the harmful impact that synthetic chemicals have on human health and the environment.

Market Restraints:

Additives, pigment compounds, and other synthetic compounds included in cosmetic items, as well as other additives, can have harmful consequences for the body, including allergic reactions, the development of black spots, acne, or discoloration. This can be ascribed to the body’s ongoing accumulation of hazardous substances due to exposure to these goods for an extended period. These concerns are also causing consumers to favor cosmetic procedures that can permanently improve their appearance and enable them to stop using beauty products regularly. In addition, other harmful compounds in hair color may have unintended consequences like mild tingling, burning and itching, allergic reactions, blisters, and rashes. As a result, throughout the forecast period, the adverse effects and reactions brought on by certain chemicals used in cosmetics are projected to restrain the expansion of the worldwide cosmetics market. Thus, it is anticipated that growing consumer knowledge of the negative consequences of cosmetic goods will limit the expansion of the cosmetics business.

COVID 19 Analysis

Due to the disruption of the distribution chain, manufacturing, and governmental restrictions on opening retail stores worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental effect on the cosmetics sector worldwide. The COVID-19 scandal shocked the cosmetics sector and caused a sharp fall in the need for cosmetics. However, the rigorous lockdown and extensive store closures have drastically altered customer buying behavior across the personal care and beauty sectors. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a drop in cosmetic product sales revenue for the market’s leading participants, which had a further negative effect. However, due to renewed operations, sales, commerce, and manufacturing worldwide, the global cosmetics market is anticipated to rebound and grow highly.

Asia-Pacific led the revenue share, with about half of the market’s revenue coming from this region. The main drivers of market expansion are the rising consumer expenditure on cosmetics and personal care items and the rising popularity of high-end cosmetics brands among local celebrities. Additionally, the expanding industrial growth is further supported by the notable increases in per capita income in rising nations like China, India, and others. Also, during the forecast period, the personal care sector in emerging nations is expected to rise significantly, creating considerable chances for the market to expand.

Elizabeth Potthast and her husband, Andrei Castravet, shared snaps from a recent photo shoot, and let’s just say the images are burning up the Internet.

The 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? couple proved that their love is still going strong, as evidenced by their chemistry in the steamy images, which were taken at the beach.

A shirtless Andrei wore a pair of black swim trunks for the occasion while his wife color-coordinated in a black two-piece bikini.

The first photo showed the couple standing in the water, as Andrei stood behind Elizabeth and wrapped his arms around her, as they both looked off into the distance.

The second image in the slide showed Andrei sitting in the water as he kissed his wife’s neck, and in the third slide, Elizabeth had her hands up in the air with her long hair dripping wet.

The mom of two posted the steamy images on Instagram with the caption, “Falling in love with you more and more every day ❤️‍🔥🌊🫦.”

Elizabeth also tagged the photographer Lindsey Vanderwal in her post. The same photographer was responsible for Elizabeth’s maternity photoshoot, posted in August of 2022, where she donned a dramatic green robe. At the time, she was pregnant with her son Winston.

Lindsey Vanderwal also snapped photographs of the family of four after baby Winston made his appearance, and Elizabeth posted those images on Instagram in December.

Here’s what people had to say about Elizabeth and Andrei’s steamy photos

Elizabeth shared the post, and the stunning images have already racked up over 61,000 likes and over 1000 comments.

The commenters applauded the couple for sticking by each other through thick and thin, and many noted that despite Andrei’s flaws, there’s no doubt that he loves his wife.

“He gets so much hate all the time. But he is such a family man and always puts them first…look at how he looks at her ❤️” wrote one Instagram user.

“People can say whatever they want about her man but damn he loves her,” added someone else.

One commenter said, “You can say all about Andrei, but you can be sure one, he really loves you❤️.”

“Beaten all the odds, walked through fire, hand in hand. You ARE the definition of a POWER COUPLE❤️,” said someone else.

90 Day Fiance star Elizabeth Potthast promotes Viori Beauty

Elizabeth has a paid partnership with Viori Beauty, and she promoted the brand to her 848,000 Instagram followers.

In a photo posted online, the 32-year-old held the Viori shampoo bar in her hand and expressed how much her hair has changed since using the products.

“My hair feels healthy and I love that these bars don’t strip my hair from it’s natural oils,” she wrote. “I love that their shampoo & conditioner bars for ALL hair types!”

The Viori shampoo and conditioning bars are 100% vegan. They are also cruelty-free, paraben-free, plastic-free, and sulfate free. There are options available for oily hair, dry hair, normal hair, and sensitive scalp.

The bars retail for $18 each on the website and bundle deals are available.

90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? is currently on hiatus on TLC.
