Rank & Style's Sale Guide

This is our favorite classic look for an hourglass body shape. A bold red with a subtle floral print and cinched waist whispers hints of vintage sophistication while highlighting every curve. The silhouette is feminine, balanced, and ultra-flattering from top to bottom. What we love most? The clean lines and lack of bulky fabric at the midsection—proof that simplicity is powerful. If this look speaks to you, our list of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-wrap-dresses" target="_self"><ins>favorite wrap dresses</ins></a> is packed with cute and classy options for everything from work presentations to date nights. When we’re in the mood for a pretty wrap dress, Lulus is always a front-runner. Score your faves with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/lulus-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Lulus promo code</ins></a> to save.

Wrap Dresses

The ultimate off-duty look for the figure hourglass silhouette? High-waisted jeans or trousers paired with a cropped top or fitted bodysuit. This combo screams street-style chic while sneakily creating a leg-lengthening illusion and accentuating the waist. Choose pants that hit right at the waist for the most impact. When shopping for clothes for hourglass shape, steer clear of stiff fabrics and oversized fits that hide curves. The beauty lies in the cut—high-rise styles sculpt the waist and flow over hips effortlessly. We’ve rounded up some high-waisted faves on our list of the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-straight-leg-jeans" target="_self"><ins>10 best straight-leg jeans</ins></a>.&nbsp;
For perfect-fit denim, we’ve had the best luck with Levi’s Wedgie Fit and Reformation’s high-waisted styles.

High-Waisted Jeans & Trousers

We've fallen for this preppy and polished look for an hourglass figure that uses a peplum top to enhance curves in the most balanced way. Most of the picks from our recent list of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-floral-blouses" target="_self"><ins>trending floral blouses</ins></a> will achieve the same effect. Some gorgeous pearls or a chunky gold necklace make it the ultimate brunch-ready look.
The secret to nailing this style? Skip boxy or cropped shirts that cut off at the widest part of the waist. Instead, opt for peplum tops that narrow at your waistline and flow over curves, drawing attention to your waist. Banana Republic and other elevated basics retailers offer tons of flattering finds—don’t forget to use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/banana-republic-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Banana Republic promo code</ins></a> when you shop.

Peplum Blouses

The pencil skirt is a staple for the hourglass body shape that never goes out of style. Sleek, chic, and endlessly versatile, this piece creates a seamless line from waist to knee while putting your curves center stage. We’re especially into skirts paired with crisp cardigans or blouses that hug without restricting. The goal is a contour—not a squeeze.
If you're feeling adventurous, a few streamlined silhouettes from our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-maxi-skirts" target="_self"><ins>best maxi skirts</ins></a> list offer a modern alternative to the classic pencil. But let’s be real—once we discovered that Talbots makes skirts this flattering, our style game changed. Their pieces strike that perfect balance between polished and comfortable, making them ideal for showcasing an hourglass figure without sacrificing ease of movement.

Pencil Skirts

Talk about power dressing. A belted blazer is one of those hourglass figure outfits that does it all: cinches your waist, adds dimension, and keeps you looking professional without sacrificing style. We love how the tie-waist detail carves out your curves, while a sleek fit ensures everything stays tailored and intentional. To pull this off, focus on fit. Stay away from boxy fits or oversized styles that bulk up your frame instead of complementing it.
Want to see this style in action? Our team rounded up some <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/cute-affordable-blazers" target="_self"><ins>amazing blazers under $200</ins></a> that are perfect for curvy proportions.

Belted Jackets & Structured Blazers

A-line dresses are an hourglass body shape girl’s secret weapon. They gently hug the waist before flowing over the hips, giving you all the shape and none of the fuss. Whether you’re going casual or formal, an A-line silhouette does the heavy lifting when it comes to highlighting your curves. For best results, look for dresses with strategic cinching and minimal midsection volume. The more structure through the waist, the more your natural hourglass form shines through.
If you’re in the market for the best dresses for an hourglass figure that you can snag quickly, our curated list of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/dresses-on-amazon" target="_self"><ins>Amazon favorites</ins></a> are full of options. For something a little fancier, Meshki’s A-line styles give formalwear a flattering upgrade. Use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/meshki-discount-code" target="_self"><ins>Meshki discount code</ins></a> to make your glam moment even sweeter.

A-Line Dresses

Ready to dial up the drama? Corset-style tops and bodysuits are made to sculpt the figure hourglass in all the right ways. This bold and body-hugging style gives your waist the spotlight while ensuring the bust and hips get their moment too. A good corset or bodysuit feels like a second skin—supportive, sexy, and surprisingly wearable.
Not sure which bodysuits to shop? Our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/now-trending-bodysuits" target="_self"><ins>trending bodysuits guide</ins></a> is filled with pieces designed to flatter curves without sacrificing comfort. We also love stocking up on basic bodysuits whenever <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/victorias-secret-coupon" target="_self"><ins>Victoria’s Secret coupon codes</ins></a> pop up—they’re stretchy, stylish, and ideal for layering under just about anything.

Corset Tops & Fitted Bodysuits

If wide-leg pants aren't already part of your daily fashion repertoire, let's change that. Note how these high-fashion pants balance curves and elongate the legs. We love the city-ready look of tucking a top or fitted blouse into wide-leg pants with an oversized designer bag on your shoulder. Find a pair of wide-leg pants for every day of the week in our recent ranking of our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-wide-leg-pants" target="_self"><ins>10 favorite wide-leg pants</ins></a>. You can also shop with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/spanx-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>SPANX promo code</ins></a> if you want to skip straight to figure-hugging, curve-sculpting, wide-leg pants.
Be careful with low-rise versions of wide-leg pants that widen the waist. They can also look sloppy on an hourglass figure. While we're all about cool and casual loose wide-leg pants that create an effortlessly bright look for the office, saggy and baggy styles can consume an hourglass figure's curves.

Wide-Leg Pants

Let’s talk about how to style the hourglass body shape—aka the figure that's all about balance and curves. If you’ve got a defined waist with bust and hips that are roughly the same size, congrats: you're rocking an hourglass figure.
The great news? You’ve got one of the easiest shapes to dress—if you know how to highlight your assets without adding bulk. Below, we’re breaking down what to wear, what to skip, and which brands get hourglass figure outfits right every time.
<h2>What Is an Hourglass Body Shape?</h2>
A true hourglass body shape is defined by symmetry—a balanced bust and hip line with a naturally smaller waist. Your proportions form an “X” shape that looks amazing in fitted and structured clothing.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/what-body-shape-am-i" target="_self">“What body shape am I?”</a>—you’re not alone. Most hourglasses have a waist that’s at least 25% smaller than their bust and hips. If that sounds like you, keep reading—we’re about to unlock your ultimate wardrobe.
<h2>How To Dress an Hourglass Body Shape</h2>
Ready to dress your hourglass body shape like a pro? Styling this figure is all about enhancing what’s already there—curves, balance, and a naturally defined waist.
These tips will help you highlight your shape without overcomplicating your look:
<ul>
<li>Embrace the waist: Opt for styles that define your midsection—belts, wrap silhouettes, and tailoring are your best friends.</li>
<li>Choose flexible fabrics: Skip anything stiff or boxy. Stretchy, drapey fabrics will move with your shape, not against it.</li>
<li>Balance proportions: Fitted tops and bottoms that mirror your natural lines create that effortless, pulled-together look.</li>
<li>Pick the right necklines and sleeves: Rounded and oval necklines accentuate the softness of the hourglass shape. Slim-fitting sleeves help to follow the natural curves and sleekness of the body. Watch out for loose or puff sleeves that can add unnecessary bulk.</li>
<li>Get strategic with hemlines: Skirts and dresses should hit at the knee or lower to elongate below the waist. For pants, full-length wide-leg pants look the most natural.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What To Avoid When Dressing a Figure Hourglass</h3>
Even a great shape can get lost under the wrong outfit.&nbsp;
Here are some things to avoid:
<ul>
<li>Oversized clothes: These hide your waist and make you look boxy instead of curvy.</li>
<li>Loud patterns: Big prints distract from your natural proportions.</li>
<li>Bulky layers: One structured piece is enough. Too much layering can take away from your cinched midsection.</li>
<li>Heavy embellishments: Skip bows and ruffles that overwhelm your top half and throw off your shape</li>
</ul>
<h2>Best Clothing Styles for an Hourglass Figure</h2>
Looking for classic pieces you can mix and match daily? These are the staples that never do an hourglass body wrong.
<h3>Tops</h3>
As an hourglass, bodysuits and bodycon tops are made for you. For something more modest, a peplum top offers good coverage that doesn't obscure proportions. We also like deep, rounded necks and V-neck tops that draw the eye to the narrowest point of your body.
<h3>Bottoms</h3>
High-waisted bottoms that might look like "mom" jeans on other body types flatter hourglass figures. Straight legs and pencil skirts are our favorites for slimming and creating balance.
<h3>Dresses</h3>
The best dresses for an hourglass figure are classic wrap dresses, fit-and-flare styles, and anything with a belted waist that highlights your midsection's narrowness. Again, you're simply picking styles that accentuate the natural proportions already in play.
<h3>Accessories</h3>
We love a belt for creating a cinched effect with an hourglass body. Utilize heels to lengthen the legs to bring out the drama of your proportions.
Ready to see these pieces in action? Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get to the fun part—actually dressing that fabulous hourglass body shape. We’ve rounded up eight curve-friendly staples that don’t just fit—they flatter.

8 Clothing Pieces for Hourglass Body Shapes That Let Your Curves Do the Talking

Dressing an Hourglass Body Shape

SHAPERX Shapewear Tummy Control Seamless Sculpting Bodysuit 

Meet the SHAPERX Shapewear Tummy Control Body Shaper Seamless Sculpting Snatched Waist BodySuit. This viral Amazon Skims dupe took off after reviewers shared just how smoothed and snatched they looked in it. The secret is the tummy-control design that sculpts the core while lifting the chest. It follows the Skims playbook of providing targeted control zones using seamless, comfortable shaping technology.
This Skims shapewear dupe uses a comfortable, lightweight material with a stretchy consistency. Like the Skims version, SHAPERX offers compression in mid-thigh, thong, and brief styles. It also shares the seamless construction that makes Skims and many of the other <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-body-shapers" target="_self"><ins>high-end shapewear brands</ins></a> that disappear under clothing. Additionally, its XXS-4X sizes mirror Skims sizing.
We're impressed that SHAPERX has managed to maintain that quality compression people count on with Skims at a much lower price point. The only place it falls short is a lack of color options. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5bGbs9LQGv/" target="_self">@melinaxzay</a>)&nbsp;

REORIA Sleeveless Racer Back Halter Neck Bodysuit

The REORIA Butsmooth Basic Sexy Sleeveless Racer Back Halter Neck Bodysuit first caught our attention with its 27,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. A side-by-side comparison of the Skims bodysuit dupe silhouette and neckline with the real version is pretty shocking. They nailed it. In person, this version also has that same stretchy, soft consistency with light compression that makes the Skims Fits Everybody original such a favorite. The fit is similarly sleek and body-hugging.
This budget-friendly bodysuit rings up at a fraction of the cost of the original—and color us impressed, because the shade range might actually outdo Skims this time. With over 20 trendy hues to choose from, it’s an easy, stylish pick for layering.&nbsp;
The only downside? The size range isn’t quite as inclusive, topping out at 3X instead of Skims’ XXS-4X. If you're looking for similar bodysuits without the high neckline, our list of the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-snatched-bodysuits" target="_self"><ins>top 10 snatched bodysuits</ins></a> has some great picks.

PUMIEY Slip Maxi Dress

The PUMIEY Slip Maxi Dress is a sleek, slimming Skims dupe you’ll want to twirl around in. Made from a soft, curve-hugging stretch-blend fabric, it moves with your body while delivering a flattering, elongated silhouette. Side by side with the Skims version, it nails the look—complete with wide straps and a scoop neckline. And in both reviews and real-life tests, most people can’t even tell it’s not the real deal.
It’s also a total steal at under $30 on Amazon and has racked up serious social media buzz for its striking resemblance to the original. Even better? The color selection is more vibrant and seasonal than what Skims offers. The only drawback is the more limited size range—XS to 2X instead of Skims’ full XXS-4X lineup. For shoppers who love a closet full of slip dresses, our picks for the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-slip-dresses" target="_self"><ins>top slip dresses for summer and fall</ins></a> are great for creating a similar silhouette.

Soulvor Magneticfit Thongs 

With a barely-there feel, the SOULVOR Magneticfit Thongs are easily one of the most comfortable ways to wear seamless, no-show underwear. Much like the beloved Skims Fits Everybody line, these thongs are made from a stretchy, ultra-soft material that hugs without pinching. Their neutral tones also help them pull off the ultimate disappearing act under everything from leggings to linen.
These thongs have earned an impressive 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon, and for good reason. As one reviewer puts it:
“The material of these thongs is exactly like the Skims Fits Everybody line, but for a fraction of the price! These are an amazing value and they are the absolute most comfortable underwear I own. The fabric feels barely there and disappears under clothing. It doesn’t dig into your skin at all and is so flattering and comfortable. You’ll want to replace all your underwear with these.”—Courtney Chin on Amazon.
This tag-free, low-rise design features a 100% cotton gusset for breathable, moisture-wicking comfort. Even better? The price. A 3-pack breaks down to just $3 to $6 per pair—far less than the $12+ you'd pay for each Skims thong in a bundle. Reviewers also rave that these somehow get more durable with every wash.
The only trade-off is sizing: this dupe comes in XS-3X, while Skims covers the broader XXS-4X range. Still, if you don’t need shapewear-style thongs for every outfit, these are a budget-friendly way to seriously upgrade your underwear drawer. Check out our list of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-thongs" target="_self"><ins>top 10 thong underwear</ins></a> for some other affordable picks.

Trendy Queen Square Neck Ribbed Tank Top

The Trendy Queen Summer Square Neck Tank Top nails the look and feel of the Skims Fits Everybody Tank with its soft ribbed fabric, flattering square neckline, and body-hugging fit. Bonus points for the slightly thicker material, which gives you more coverage without compromising comfort.
At under $15, it’s a steal compared to the original, and the 19 pretty color options don’t hurt either. One reviewer raves,&nbsp;
“This tank is flattering, great color and is buttery soft. Will be purchasing more colors!”—Kim Craigie on Amazon.&nbsp;
Our only wish? A broader size range—this one goes from XS to XL, while Skims offers XXS to 4X.

SUUKSESS Double Lined Fitted Basic Tee

We’ll wear the SUUKSESS Double-Lined Fitted Basic Tee just about anywhere—and we’re not the only ones. With over 800 five-star reviews on Amazon and a wave of TikTok buzz, it’s safe to say this viral dupe is the real deal. Its ultra-stretchy, sculpting fabric mimics the feel and fit of the Skims Fits Everybody Tee, and the double lining adds compression without compromising comfort.
The crewneck and sleek, second-skin silhouette make it nearly indistinguishable from the original. Some reviewers even say it surpasses Skims in opacity and smoothing. Plus, it comes in 20 trendy colors and rings in at a fraction of the price. Our only gripe? The size range maxes out at XL, while Skims offers a more inclusive XXS–4X.

Here Are 10 Retailers and Brands to Shop If You're Looking for Stylish Clothing Made for the Mature Woman

The Best Online Shopping Sites for Women Over 50

When it comes to figuring out your body shape, the first step is letting go of common stereotypes. Despite what you might’ve heard, your height or weight doesn’t determine your shape. Instead, it all comes down to your bone structure and how your body naturally distributes muscle and fat.
It’s also worth noting that body shape and body size aren’t the same thing. Two people can wear the exact same clothing size and have completely different silhouettes.
For the most accurate results, skip the assumptions—like “I’m athletic, so I must be a rectangle”—and grab a measuring tape instead. Taking your measurements is the easiest way to understand your proportions and confidently identify your body shape.
Follow these simple steps to get started:
<ol>
<li>Get a measuring tape if possible or a ruler and a piece of string if a tape is unavailable.</li>
<li>Wear form-fitting or minimal clothing while measuring to ensure the most accurate results.</li>
<li>Keep your phone or a notepad handy to jot down your measurements—plus a calculator if you want to easily figure out your ratios.</li>
<li>Measure your body at the fullest part of your bust.</li>
<li>Measure your body at the broadest part of your hips.</li>
<li>Measure your body at the narrowest part of your waist.</li>
<li>(Optional but helpful) Measure your shoulder width as well, since this can make it easier to distinguish between similar shapes like the hourglass and inverted triangle.</li>
<li>Use your measurements to calculate your shape: Divide your waist by your bust Divide your waist by your hips Divide your bust by your hips</li>
</ol>
Compare these ratios to the shape descriptions above to get a better idea of where you fall. For example, if your waist is significantly smaller than both your bust and hips, you may be an hourglass. If your bust is much larger than your hips, that could indicate an inverted triangle shape.
Once you’ve written down your measurements, the next step is to compare them. Not sure what to look for? Let’s break it down with an example.
Imagine your measurements are:
<ul>
<li>Bust: 36 inches</li>
<li>Waist: 29 inches</li>
<li>Hips: 38 inches</li>
</ul>
In this case, your bust and hips are fairly close in size, while your waist is noticeably smaller. Since your waist is about 20–25% smaller than your bust and hips, this would put you in the hourglass category.
Or let’s say your numbers look more like this:
<ul>
<li>Bust: 34 inches</li>
<li>Waist: 30 inches</li>
<li>Hips: 41 inches</li>
</ul>
This time, your hips are significantly larger than both your bust and waist, which points to a classic pear shape.
By comparing your own measurements the same way, you can quickly figure out which body shape you fall into.&nbsp;
To make things even easier, check out the reference chart above.

So, What Is My Body Shape?

If you have an hourglass figure, your curves are the star of the show—and your wardrobe should show them off. Think waist-defining styles like <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-wrap-dresses" target="_self"><ins>wrap dresses</ins></a>, fitted tops, and high-rise pants that highlight your natural balance. Skip boxy or shapeless pieces unless you're planning to tailor them. Structured shoulders—like <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-puff-sleeve-blouses" target="_self"><ins>puff sleeves</ins></a> or <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-womens-blazers" target="_self"><ins>tailored blazers</ins></a>—also enhance your silhouette by accentuating your waist-to-shoulder ratio.
Looking to build your hourglass-friendly wardrobe? Lulus is a go-to for flattering, statement-making pieces, and with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/lulus-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Lulus promo code</ins></a>, you can score deals on everything from curve-hugging dresses to polished jumpsuits.&nbsp;
For added styling tips, reach for monochrome looks or vertical stripes to elongate your frame, and play with bold colors to draw attention to your waistline.

Hourglass Shape

If you've got a pear shape, you'll find that the eye is often drawn toward the lower half of your body. You can either lean into it with curve-loving silhouettes like <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-slip-skirts" target="_self"><ins>slip skirts</ins></a> or curve-enhancing <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-bootcut-jeans" target="_self"><ins>bootcut jeans</ins></a>. You may also want to balance out the two separate halves of your body with <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-off-the-shoulder-tops" target="_self"><ins>off-the-shoulder tops</ins></a> or <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-striped-blouses" target="_self"><ins>striped blouses</ins></a> that draw attention upward. Just be mindful of lengths—steer clear of tops or jackets that hit right at your widest point. Cropped styles that stop at the waist are usually your best bet.
Pear shapes shine in vibrant colors and flowy textures. We suggest using this <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/free-people-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Free People promo code</ins></a> to shop for boho chic items that celebrate the natural curves of your body. Especially on the upper half of your body, lighter colors and textured options like knits or chiffon help to balance your silhouette.

Pear Shape

If you have an apple-shaped body, flowy and elongating pieces are your best friends. Empire waistlines, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-tunic-dresses" target="_self"><ins>tunic dresses</ins></a>, and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/peasant-blouses" target="_self"><ins>peasant-style tops</ins></a> all flatter your midsection while showcasing your legs and neckline. Skip the low-rise jeans and opt for high-rise, wide-leg pants or flared skirts that help balance your silhouette.
When it comes to fabrics and prints, structured materials with subtle detailing tend to flatter apple shapes best. Brands like Tuckernuck offer timeless shift dresses and empire silhouettes that suit your proportions perfectly. Use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/tuckernuck-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Tuckernuck promo code</ins></a> to save on flattering wardrobe staples that feel as good as they look.&nbsp;
Dark, solid colors and vertical stripes are classic go-tos for creating a sleek silhouette on an apple shape—but they can sometimes feel a bit too safe or understated. Add flair with luxe accessories—use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/farfetch-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>FARFETCH promo code</ins></a> to score designer bags or statement shoes that elevate your look. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yulia.yermak/" target="_self">@yulia.yermak</a>)

Apple Shape

Rectangle-shaped bodies have a naturally balanced frame, meaning you can rock a wide range of silhouettes. Tailored pieces with built-in shape—like belted dresses, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-spring-jackets" target="_self"><ins>cinched jackets</ins></a>, and high-waisted trousers—are your secret weapon. Want to go edgier? Oversized outerwear and wide-leg pants work well, especially when styled with crop tops or fitted layers to define your waist.
To break up the symmetry, opt for bold details—think ruching, ruffles, asymmetry, or color blocking. Rectangle shapes come to life with standout prints and interesting textures. Bloomingdale’s has an amazing selection of structured staples and playful fashion-forward styles—plus, with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/bloomingdales-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Bloomingdale’s promo code</ins></a>, you can stock up without breaking the bank.

(Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/toriacurbelo/" target="_self">@allchloerose</a>)&nbsp;

Rectangle Shape

If your shoulders are broader than your hips, you likely fall into the inverted triangle category. Your shape shines in pieces that add volume to your lower half—like <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-cargo-pants" target="_self"><ins>cargo pants</ins></a>, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-pleated-skirts" target="_self"><ins>pleated skirts</ins></a>, and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-wide-leg-pants" target="_self"><ins>wide-leg trousers</ins></a>. Pair those with fitted or V-neck <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-tops-on-amazon" target="_self"><ins>tops</ins></a> that soften the upper body and create balance. Just be mindful of shoulder pads or high necklines—they can sometimes exaggerate your frame.
To create visual harmony, opt for darker shades up top and lighter or patterned styles on the bottom. American Eagle carries tons of flattering options, from wide-leg jeans to soft knits—and with an <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/american-eagle-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>American Eagle promo code</ins></a>, you can refresh your wardrobe for less. Look for details like ruching, tiered skirts, or textured fabrics to give your outfits extra dimension where you want it.

Inverted Triangle Shape

When it comes to styling body shapes, some universal things work for everyone.&nbsp;
All types of body figures need to follow these basic guidelines:
<ul>
<li>Ensure your clothes fit well and are neither too large nor too small for your frame. </li>
<li>Get clothes tailored if they're too long or have other fit issues. </li>
<li>Use bright colors to draw attention to areas you love and dark shades to downplay things you don't. </li>
<li>Remember that you can use textures, tailoring, and shapewear to help get the silhouette you prefer. </li>
<li>Pick items you love instead of only sticking with "flattering" pieces. Any garment can look incredible on you if it makes you feel confident and happy. </li>
</ul>
Remember, dressing for your body shape is all about celebrating what makes you feel confident. There’s no one “ideal” shape—each one has its own standout features worth showing off. When you know how to style your unique silhouette, you can highlight your favorite features and feel your best in every outfit.

When it comes to figuring out your body type, there’s no shortage of opinions. Depending on who you ask, you could be anything from a “Classic Gamine” to a “Cupcake Princess.” But don’t worry—we’re keeping it simple.
Below, we’ve broken down the five most common body shapes to help you easily identify where you fit.
<h3>Hourglass</h3>
An hourglass figure is all about balance, with curves in all the right places and a naturally defined waist.
Some identifying characteristics of an hourglass shape include:
<ul>
<li>Your bust and shoulders will be very similar in size.</li>
<li>You may have rounded or fuller thighs.</li>
<li>Some hourglass shapes have a shorter torso than average.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pear</h3>
If your lower half tends to be the focal point and your hips are the widest part of your frame, you’re likely a pear shape.
Some identifying characteristics of a pear shape include:
<ul>
<li>You may have a short, very small waist.</li>
<li>Your arms are often slender, while your legs tend to carry more shape.</li>
<li>Pear shapes often have longer legs.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Apple</h3>
For apple shapes, the midsection is usually the most prominent part, creating a rounded silhouette with slimmer limbs.
Some identifying characteristics of an apple shape include:
<ul>
<li>Narrow hips are common with an apple shape.</li>
<li>Apple shapes often have a fuller bust.</li>
<li>You tend to have slim, rounded shoulders.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Rectangle</h3>
If your frame is straight and your measurements are fairly uniform from top to bottom, you likely fall into the rectangle category.
Some identifying characteristics of a rectangle shape include:
<ul>
<li>People with this shape are often somewhat muscular.</li>
<li>A flatter bust is common with this shape.</li>
<li>Some people with a rectangle shape have shorter-than-average legs.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Inverted Triangle</h3>
If your upper body is broader than your lower half, the inverted triangle shape might be your perfect match.
Some identifying characteristics of an inverted triangle shape include:
<ul>
<li>You may have a fuller bust along with broader shoulders.</li>
<li>The waist may be less defined.</li>
<li>Longer arms and shorter legs are common with this shape.</li>
</ul>

What Body Shape Am I? How to Figure Out Your Figure and What Styles Look Best on You

For a backyard baby shower, you can’t go wrong with an adorable day dress in a playful floral print. Flowy silhouettes and vibrant patterns are perfect for capturing the laid-back, festive vibe. Think wrap dresses, tiered styles, loose-fit maxi dresses, or smocked designs—all of which offer comfort without sacrificing style.
If dresses aren’t your thing, a linen or cotton jumpsuit is another great choice for staying cool and polished. To finish the look, opt for lawn-friendly footwear like flat sandals or low wedges—both stylish and practical for an outdoor setting.

Travel-Friendly Shower Outfit

A baby shower is one of the sweetest celebrations on the calendar—a special day dedicated to showering the mom-to-be with gifts, playing games, enjoying good food, and, of course, cooing over all things baby.
If you’ve RSVP’d “yes” to one, you might be wondering what to wear. The goal is to find an outfit that’s both comfortable and cute—something that shows you’ve made an effort, without stealing the spotlight from the guest of honor.
That’s where Rank &amp; Style comes in. We’re here to help you navigate the dress code with confidence, whether the invite calls for backyard casual or country club chic. Ahead, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about baby shower guest outfits, along with some stylish picks to inspire your look.
<h2>What to Consider When Picking a Baby Shower Outfit</h2>
Like any social event, baby showers come with their own set of fashion and etiquette expectations. The right outfit shows respect for the occasion—and the mom-to-be—while still letting your personal style shine. Not sure where to start? We’re highlighting a few key factors to help you dress the part and avoid any outfit missteps.
<h3>Venue and Theme</h3>
When it comes to baby shower attire, the invitation holds all the clues. More often than not, you're dressing for the location rather than the occasion itself—which means anything from jeans to a semi-formal dress could be fair game.
If the shower has a specific theme, let that guide your look. For example, if the invite mentions a “rose garden” theme, feel free to lean into floral prints. And if the parents-to-be have shared the baby’s gender, it’s always a sweet touch to incorporate pink or blue into your outfit.
<h3>Season and Weather</h3>
Don’t sacrifice comfort in the name of looking overly formal. Baby showers are all about celebrating, mingling, and sometimes helping the mom-to-be, so your outfit should feel as good as it looks. For winter showers, layering a blazer or cardigan over a dress is both stylish and season-appropriate. In spring and summer, a breezy sundress strikes the perfect balance between polished and comfortable—no overheating required.
<h3>Comfort and Fit</h3>
Believe it or not, baby showers can be surprisingly active. Between games, chatting, and the gift-opening marathon, you’ll want to wear something that moves with you. Plus, offering a hand with heavy gifts is always appreciated, so comfort is key. A pair of tailored slacks and chic flats, for example, can strike the perfect balance between style and practicality.
<h3>Respecting the Mom-to-Be</h3>
When dressing for a baby shower, your goal is to look polished and put-together—not to steal the show. Outfits that are overly flashy or attention-grabbing can come off as disrespectful, so before you head out the door, ask yourself: does this look shift the focus away from the guest of honor? If the answer is “yes”, it’s worth reconsidering.
<h3>Personal Style</h3>
Of course, you still want to feel like yourself. Your personal style should always shine through—just be sure to tailor your look to the event’s theme, setting, and level of formality. Think of it as dressing to celebrate, not to impress.
<h2>What Not to Wear to A Baby Shower</h2>
Before you start planning your baby shower look, here’s a quick style PSA: a few fashion choices are better left in the closet for this occasion.&nbsp;
To avoid any outfit faux pas, steer clear of the following:
<ul>
<li>All black: Save the all-black ensembles for more somber occasions. Baby showers call for bright, festive colors or, at the very least, light neutrals.</li>
<li>Overly casual outfits: Looking like you didn’t make an effort isn’t the vibe. Baby showers deserve a little polish.</li>
<li>Athleisure or workout outfits: Unless the baby shower is happening at the gym (spoiler: it’s not), skip the leggings and sneakers.</li>
<li>Overly revealing or sexy outfits: Showing too much skin can come off as trying to steal attention from the guest of honor.</li>
<li>Overly formal attire: Going full black-tie will leave you feeling awkward and out of place.</li>
</ul>

What to Wear to a Baby Shower—Guest Outfits From Casual to Fancy

We’ve found the vegan footwear brand your feet—and your sense of style—have been craving. Shopping for shoes can be tough, especially if you care about comfort, design, and sustainability. That’s where we come in. At Rank &amp; Style, we cut through the clutter with data-backed recommendations, so you can skip the endless scrolling and head straight for the best picks.
Enter VIVAIA: a brand that delivers style and comfort without compromise. Known for its commitment to sustainable materials and waste-reducing production methods, VIVAIA is redefining what eco-friendly footwear looks—and feels—like. The best part? These shoes are surprisingly affordable, often costing less than what you’d find at a typical department store.
Ahead, we’re introducing you to VIVAIA and all the reasons why it’s quickly becoming a must-know name for style-savvy, sustainability-minded shoppers.
<h2>What Does VIVAIA Sell?</h2>
VIVAIA may have made its name with stylish, sustainable shoes, but the brand offers more than just footwear. Its growing lineup of accessories makes it easy to round out your wardrobe with pieces that are both eco-friendly and fashion-forward. Whether you're shopping for a closet refresh or adding new staples to your rotation, VIVAIA’s collection covers the bases.
<h3>Footwear</h3>
VIVAIA's innovative design principles create luxury-quality shoes that are so comfortable to wear. Even people who don't necessarily shop based on sustainability flock to the brand for arch support, flexibility, and durability. Of course, we're sold on VIVAIA's use of sustainable materials, including recycled plastics, bio-based yarns, herbal insoles, and natural rubber. It all comes together with a knitting technology that creates seamless, lightweight shoes.
VIVAIA's footwear collection offers dressy, sporty, and everything in between. The full lineup includes flats, sneakers, sandals, and boots. To see the charm embodied by this brand, look no further than the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-comfortable-work-heels" target="_self">VIVAIA Pointed-Toe Kitten Heels</a> with a soft, stretchy fit and knit upper woven from recycled plastic. For flats, we're fans of VIVIAIA's iconic round-toe embroidered loafers, which are available in several cute designs and colors. For sporty looks, the all-day sneakers and slip-on sneakers go perfectly under everything from joggers and leggings to shirtdresses and midi skirts.
<h3>Accessories</h3>
VIVAIA’s lineup of bags, totes, and crossbodies blends preppy polish with earthy appeal. The Lightweight Tote and Bucket Bag stand out as versatile, commuter-friendly options that offer impressive durability for a non-designer price. We also appreciate that these bags are crafted from recycled ocean plastics, transformed through sharp, intricate detailing into pieces that look anything but recycled. The brand’s $79-and-under crossbody bags, in particular, could easily pass for styles that cost four times as much.
And the icing on the cake? VIVAIA also offers removable, swappable shoe charms—an easy, playful way to personalize your favorite pair.
<h2>VIVAIA’s Vibe: Stylish, Sustainable, and Totally Comfortable</h2>
VIVAIA pulls off office-meets-weekend looks like no shoe brand we know. Its modern and minimalist aesthetic offers sleek designs that are appealing to shoppers who appreciate good staples when they find them. While we first fell in love with VIVAIA for workday shoes, we soon learned that the brand also has plenty of styles for sporty, casual, and going-out looks.
VIVAIA's fashion-forward, detail-rich designs hooked us. However, we never anticipated just how comfortable and practical footwear that looks this cute could be. The support and cushioning on even the slenderest, willowiest of VIVAIA's shoe designs impressed us. Additionally, all the high-quality, long-lasting materials in VIVAIA's shoes and accessories are made with sustainability and eco-friendliness in mind.
<h2>The History of VIVAIA</h2>
Jeff Chan launched VIVAIA in the United States in 2020 as an everyday footwear brand that supports eco-friendly comfort and style. It has since become a global label with customers and suppliers in more than 61 countries.
VIVAIA's origin story involves Chan observing his wife's 200 pairs of shoes. Most of them were killing her feet, and a mission was born: to create sustainable footwear that was also comfortable and fashionable.
VIVAIA's cutting-edge 3D knit technology enables different designs for all foot sizes and shapes using millions of recycled water bottles!
<h2>Who Shops at VIVAIA?</h2>
Down-to-earth VIVAIA has a posh clientele. Yes, these are the shoes that Selena Gomez, Jenna Ortega, Julia Roberts, Katie Holmes, Aubrey Plaza, Scarlett Johansson, and Emma Roberts have all been snapped in. Let's call these the unofficial errand-running shoes of Hollywood. However, these stars also show up pretty frequently at press events in VIVAIA sandals and tall boots.
While gorgeous enough for A-list stars, VIVAIA shoes are priced for shoppers who want to make more environmentally friendly choices because they prize sustainability as much as style. Anyone who wants to jump on trendy shoes that are also comfortable gets excited about this brand. We especially love that VIVAIA's timeless looks are hooking everyone from eco-savvy college students to seasoned professionals seeking the sharpest office looks.
<h2>How Much Does VIVAIA Cost?</h2>
Many core VIVAIA shoe styles fall between $50 and $80. Yup, basic mall prices for the same shoes worn by the biggest stars.&nbsp;
Here's how the cost breaks down by style:
<ul>
<li>Flats: $59–$129</li>
<li>Loafers: $69–$130</li>
<li>Heels: $79–$159</li>
<li>Sandals: $87–$129</li>
<li>Sneakers: $97–$129</li>
<li>Boots: $97–$229</li>
<li>Mules: $59-$79</li>
</ul>
VIVAIA offers eco-friendly, ultra-quality products at a more affordable price than many traditional sustainable fashion brands. Aside from ongoing sales and discounts, shoppers can save on gorgeous shoes with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/vivaia-coupon-code" target="_self">VIVAIA promo code</a>. Overall, quality and durability make VIVAIA shoes perfect for shoppers who appreciate good value for the money.
<h2>Brands That Are Similar to VIVAIA</h2>
While VIVAIA enjoys rarified air as the top eco-friendly shoe brand, it has some solid company. Shoppers looking for eco-conscious footwear brands with similar styles and price points as VIVAIA may also be drawn to:
<ul>
<li>Allbirds: For sneakers and athletic shoes, Allbirds feels slightly interchangeable with VIVAIA. We especially like canvas Allbirds sneakers that throw '90s vibes. While the brand's sporty footwear is priced just a pinch higher than VIVAIA, Allbirds shares the same commitment to sustainable and ultra-affordable shoes made from recycled materials.</li>
<li>Everlane: Offering minimalist designs emphasizing sustainability and transparency, Everlane has tons of office-ready shoes that share VIVAIA's approach to ethical fashion.</li>
<li>Veja: Veja's socially conscious sneakers have our hearts. The brand is as committed as VIVAIA to sustainable production and eco-friendly materials.</li>
<li>Toms: By far the most popular socially conscious footwear brand, Toms offers comfortable, boho-preppy sandals, flats, espadrilles, and heels.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Rank &amp; Style Loves VIVAIA</h2>
VIVAIA makes gorgeous shoes that are 100% vegan and eco-friendly—two things that are hard to come by in the fashion world. As editors, we know all too well how easy it is to feel shoe-closet guilt when most brands prioritize mass production over sustainability. That’s why VIVAIA's mission stands out. Even the brand's name nods to its thoughtful approach: the double “V” and “A” highlight its diverse shoe designs, while the double “I” represents the recycled plastic bottles used to create them.
Beyond its commitment to the planet, VIVAIA checks all the boxes for style, comfort, and affordability. The brand proves that sustainable doesn’t have to mean skimpy—every pair we’ve tried feels substantial and thoughtfully designed. Whether it’s the sleek ballet flats or sporty slip-ons, VIVAIA strikes a rare balance between sophistication and wearability. Plus, with styles often priced under $100, it's no surprise the brand has built a following that spans everyone from celebrities to everyday shoppers.
<h2>A Brand Built on Loyalty</h2>
VIVAIA also earns top marks for its glowing reputation among customers. Thousands of five-star reviews and a 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot point to a clear theme: stylish, comfortable shoes at a fair price. Add in a 30-day free return and exchange policy, and it’s easy to see why shoppers keep coming back. As the brand grows, it’s refreshing to see that VIVAIA hasn’t compromised on its quality or core values—something we admire as much as the shoes themselves.
<h2>Questions About VIVAIA</h2>
<h3>Where can I buy VIVAIA shoes?</h3>
The easiest way to order VIVAIA shoes is directly through the brand's official website. Retailers like Nordstrom and Dillard's also sell select VIVAIA designs.
<h3>Does VIVAIA have a physical store?</h3>
While VIVAIA is available in several department stores inside malls nationwide, finding a VIVAIA location is a little harder. VIVAIA has only a flagship store at 68 Prince St. in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, where in-person customers can consult with shoe experts.
<h3>Can I wash VIVAIA shoes?</h3>
It depends on the collection. VIVAIA sells both machine-washable and non-washable shoes. A wash bag on "delicate" with cold water is necessary for shoes that can go in the machine. Insoles should either be replaced or washed separately. All other shoes should be cleaned using a VIVAIA cleaning kit. No VIVAIA shoes are intended for the dryer.
<h3>Do VIVAIA shoes have arch support?</h3>
VIVAIA shoes generally have more cushioning and support than traditional flats and sneakers. Every pair of shoes features VIVAIA's unique padded insoles. VIVAIA Arch Pro sandals are designed with superior arch support. The brand also sells wide-foot-friendly shoes.

VIVAIA Is Changing the Footwear Game With Sustainable and Stylish Designs

Meet VIVAIA—The Eco-Friendly Shoe Brand You Need to Know About

Archies Arch Support Flip Flops

I hinted at it already, but it deserves to be said again: these flip flops are simple and sleek—and I mean that in the best way possible. I tend to go for minimal styles, especially with sandals, and Archies just nails it. Their Arch Support Flip Flops come in tons of colors and have a super streamlined shape that makes them easy to wear with basically anything.
And if you’re into the whole "I'm not trying too hard" aesthetic (hi, same), you’ll love how easy it is to throw these on with jeans, shorts, or even a dress. Plus, they're made from one solid, ultra-strong piece, which means no plugs and no broken straps. If you’ve ever had a flip flop disaster mid-day (and who hasn't?), this feature alone is a total game-changer.

Simple, Go-With-Everything Design

It’s literally in the name, and they mean it. I wasn’t sure what to expect from flip flops that claimed to be supportive—but the second I slipped them on, I got it. You can feel the difference right away thanks to the 1-inch of orthotic arch support. It’s not something I’ve ever actively looked for in sandals, but after a few hours of wearing mine, I was convinced.
And while I’m not usually someone who prioritizes arch support, I already know I’ll be raving about this feature to my friends and family (you all just get to hear it first—lucky you).

Arch Support That Actually Makes a Difference

Here’s the part I found genuinely impressive: these flip flops actually customize to your feet. When I first got mine, I noticed on the packaging (because yes, I read those things) that the straps and the footbed are designed to stretch and mold to your shape.
If you need a little more space in the straps? Just gently stretch them. Want the footbed to mold perfectly to your foot? Just wear them around and let them do their thing.&nbsp;
Sometimes it’s the little things that really set a product apart—and this little touch definitely did it for me.
They feel like they were made for me, and that’s not something I can say about most sandals.

A Custom Fit You Didn't Know You Needed

This content is made in partnership with Archies, which means we may earn a commission when you shop through these links. However, as always, the products featured on this page still adhere to our guiding principles and data-backed approach.
I’m not quite as obsessed with celebrities as I was in my teens and early twenties, but let’s be honest: if a celeb I love (hi, <a href="https://go.linkby.com/HQOAGUMH" target="_blank">Jennifer Aniston</a>) is using a product I’ve never tried—and it’s affordable—I’m still 100% likely to cave.
Make it a <a href="https://go.linkby.com/HQOAGUMH" target="_blank">comfortable pair of flip flops under$50</a> ? Living in Texas, where sandals are practically a year-round necessity, that's an easy yes for me.
So when I read about <a href="https://go.linkby.com/HQOAGUMH" target="_blank">Archies Footwear</a>—a brand that set out to create flip flops comfy enough for all-day wear—and saw that Jennifer Aniston had been spotted wearing them (in not one but three different colors, mind you), my "add to cart" instinct kicked in fast. As a longtime member of the "If-Jen-Likes-It-I'll-Try-It" club, getting myself a pair was inevitable. What I didn’t expect? Just how much I'd love actually wearing them.
Simple design? Check. Legit arch support? Check. A customizable fit? Check. These <a href="https://go.linkby.com/HQOAGUMH" target="_blank">flip flops</a> had everything I didn’t even realize I needed. And because I work at Rank &amp; Style, where we take recommending the good stuff very seriously, I’m breaking down exactly why I’m officially hooked—and why you might want to grab a pair, too.
(Trust me: It’s way more satisfying being early to a trend than fighting the sold-out battle later.)

Jennifer Aniston Owns Three Pairs of These Under-$50 Flip Flops—Now I Get Why

 Product Review: Archies Footwear

Let’s be honest—not all athleisurewear is created equal. Some pieces look great on the rack, but once you put them on? Saggy fits, awkward seams, and see-through fabrics can ruin the vibe fast. That’s why we always come back to Alo Yoga—a brand known for striking the perfect balance between performance-driven activewear and sleek, street-ready style.
Alo has built a reputation for offering apparel that’s both flattering and functional, making it a go-to for everyone from celebrities and fitness influencers to yogis and everyday shoppers. Whether you’re headed to a workout or just want an off-duty look that feels put-together, Alo’s got you covered.
And while the brand might be trending hard right now—especially as the go-to for celeb-approved leggings—Alo’s been perfecting the art of activewear since 2007. Nearly two decades of staying power tells us one thing: this is more than a moment; it’s a brand that delivers.
So, what exactly makes Alo worth the hype? For starters, their pieces are designed to move effortlessly from the gym to the streets. The leggings are famously flattering, creating a sculpted, smooth silhouette without any awkward bunching or sliding. The fabrics hug your body like a second skin—supportive, breathable, and buttery soft. Plus, Alo’s commitment to sustainability and mix-and-match versatility makes it easy to build a wardrobe you’ll actually want to wear on repeat.
If you’re new to the world of Alo, we’re here to catch you up. Ahead, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the brand—including the styles, the hype, and why so many people can’t get enough.
<h2>Where Athleisure Meets High Fashion</h2>
We get it—legging fatigue is real. If you’re anything like us, you’ve gone through more than a few rounds of thinking you’d finally found the perfect pair, only to wind up with stretched-out seams and see-through fabric after a few wears. Still, the comfort and versatility of leggings make them pretty hard to quit.
That’s exactly why <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/label-we-love-alo-yoga" target="_self">Alo Yoga</a> stands out. The brand has completely restored our faith in leggings, offering sleek, modern designs with flattering cuts in a range of wearable, everyday colors. The Alo aesthetic is effortlessly cool, pairing sculpting fabrics with trend-forward silhouettes that make it easy to build sporty, elevated looks.
And if you’ve ever felt stuck toggling between basic black leggings and loud, over-the-top prints, Alo’s mix of muted earth tones and bold, statement hues is a breath of fresh air. Best of all, these pieces aren’t just made for the gym—their flattering, fashion-forward designs transition seamlessly from workouts to errands and everywhere in between.
<h2>What Does Alo Yoga Sell?</h2>
Alo Yoga is more than just leggings—the brand offers a full lineup of activewear, loungewear, accessories, and even beauty products designed to complement an on-the-go, stylish lifestyle. Whether you're heading to the gym, lounging at home, or running errands, Alo has you covered.
<h3>Activewear</h3>
Alo makes it easy to shop by activity, with collections designed for tennis, Pilates, training, running, and yoga. The best part? These performance pieces don’t just stay in the gym—they transition seamlessly into everyday outfits. From leggings and shorts to sports bras, sweats, and ribbed tanks, Alo’s activewear is all about combining comfort with a flattering fit.
<h3>Loungewear</h3>
Alo’s loungewear lineup leans into laid-back style without sacrificing polish. Think hoodies, sweatshirts, and sweatpants made from ultra-soft fabrics, all cut to drape and shape in the most flattering way. Matching sets, in particular, offer a modern, elevated take on the classic tracksuit, while warm, cozy layers pair effortlessly with the brand’s ribbed tanks and cropped tops.
<h3>Accessories</h3>
Alo accessories are the finishing touch for any sporty-chic look. From solid-color caps and visors to sleek running belts, crossbody bags, and fanny packs, the brand’s accessories are designed to complement its apparel without missing a beat. Alo bags, especially, strike that perfect balance between function and style, whether you're headed to the gym or styling your look for a casual day out. And for everyday essentials, the brand’s crew and half-crew socks deliver the same clean, elevated aesthetic as the rest of the collection.
<h3>Beauty &amp; Wellness</h3>
Beyond apparel, Alo has carved out a space in the beauty and wellness world with a thoughtful range of products. The lineup includes glow-boosting oils, face mists, lotions, balms, and the cult-favorite magnesium reset spray—all designed to help you transition from workouts to real life feeling fresh and polished. With lightweight, natural formulations free from controversial ingredients, Alo’s beauty offerings are as streamlined and versatile as its clothing.
<h2>Cult-Favorite Pieces Everyone Loves</h2>
Alo has earned a loyal following thanks to its flattering, high-quality staples. These aren’t just workout clothes—they’re the kind of pieces that make you feel put together, whether you're headed to the gym, the coffee shop, or anywhere in between.&nbsp;
If you're new to the brand, here are a few fan favorites worth knowing:
<ul>
<li>Airlift Leggings: These are the leggings that put Alo on the map. Made from the brand’s signature high-compression Airlift fabric, they sculpt and smooth in all the right places with a flattering, slightly sheeny finish. Available in both full-length and 7/8 cuts, Airlift leggings also come in several variations—including styles with sweetheart back shaping, flocked details, mesh panels, and even a bootcut option.</li>
<li>Alosoft Leggings: If you want leggings that move with you and feel as soft as your favorite loungewear, Alosoft is the answer. This line offers four-way stretch and an ultra-breathable fit that’s perfect for everything from lounging to light training. Choose from standard or capri lengths depending on your style.</li>
<li>Accolade Sweat Set: Alo’s Accolade set (a straight-leg sweatpant paired with a classic crew-neck pullover) nails the balance between cozy and polished. Made from French terry with a fleecy interior and smooth exterior, this boxy, unisex silhouette looks great styled oversized or tailored to your fit.</li>
<li>Alo Yoga Mat: Alo’s yoga mats are just as thoughtfully designed as its apparel. The brand’s Warrior mat is slip-resistant, anti-odor, and moisture-wicking, with an oversized design that keeps you grounded during every pose. Plus, it’s free from PVC, formaldehyde, and other harsh chemicals—making it a cleaner, safer upgrade for your practice.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Is Alo Yoga Worth the Cost?</h2>
Alo isn’t your bargain-bin activewear— but it also won’t have you paying designer-level prices to achieve a celeb-worthy look. Think of it as high-end athleisure that blends performance, style, and longevity.
The brand is known for its flattering cuts, premium fabrics, and polished designs that hold up through countless wears and washes. For many, the upfront investment pays off by skipping the cycle of replacing worn-out, ill-fitting leggings and sweats every season.
Here’s a look at what you can expect to spend on Alo’s core collection:
<ul>
<li>Leggings: $98–$128</li>
<li>Sports Bras: $54–$72</li>
<li>Hoodies &amp; Jackets: $100–$200</li>
<li>Tops: $58–$128</li>
<li>Pants, Trousers &amp; Skirts: $68–$348</li>
<li>Sweaters &amp; Knitwear: $98–$248</li>
<li>Accessories (Socks, Hats, Bags): $32–$298</li>
<li>Yoga Mats: $128–$148</li>
</ul>
While Alo pieces lean premium, many shoppers build their collection slowly by investing in staple items that mix, match, and last. And pro tip: before checking out, be sure to check out our page for exclusive <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/alo-yoga-discount-code" target="_self">Alo Yoga discount codes</a> to save on your purchase.
<h2>Who Wears Alo Yoga?</h2>
Alo Yoga has become a status symbol in the athleisure world, beloved by shoppers seeking luxury-quality activewear that seamlessly transitions from the studio to the streets. Celebrities flock to Alo for its effortless style, knowing it looks just as good in person as it does in photos. A-list stars like Margot Robbie, Dakota Fanning, Bella Hadid, Sophia Richie, Kaia Gerber, Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Holt, and Hailey Bieber are regularly spotted in Alo leggings. Unlike some flashy trends, Alo’s understated designs exude the quiet confidence we all crave, making them a favorite of those who appreciate style without the need for attention-grabbing statements.
<h2>If You Love These Brands, You'll Love Alo Yoga</h2>
While Alo is one of our top picks for sporty, stylish activewear, it’s not the only brand in the game.&nbsp;
Several other brands share a similar aesthetic, so if you love Alo, these brands are worth checking out:
<ul>
<li>Sweaty Betty: Think of Sweaty Betty as Alo's more adventurous cousin. While the fit and material quality are similar, Sweaty Betty experiments with bolder colors and patterns. Their Power Workout Legging, made from 62% polyamide and 38% elastane, comes in various colors and patterns—and yes, it even has pockets.</li>
<li>Outdoor Voices: Outdoor Voices offers a laid-back, unicolor aesthetic like Alo but with a twist of primary colors. The CoolForm 7/8 Legging features cooling fabric, side pockets, a back zip pocket, and reflective details—perfect for those who love functionality with a pop of color.</li>
<li>Vuori: Vuori, a San Diego-based brand, excels at versatile athleisure that mixes and matches effortlessly. For a comfortable yet sleek alternative to leggings, try the AllTheFeels™ Legging made from breathable, moisture-wicking four-way stretch fabric, or opt for the Villa Cargo Jogger for a streamlined take on joggers.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why We Love Alo Yoga (And Why You Will, Too)</h2>
After trying countless athleisure brands, we finally found one that truly gets it—Alo Yoga. They manage to strike the perfect balance between flattering cuts, breathable fabric, and just the right amount of compression.
We love that Alo offers the kind of high-end, fashion-forward looks that bring some class to those ultra-comfortable, casual pieces. Think wearing something that feels like pajamas—but without the "I just rolled out of bed" vibe. It's no wonder stars like Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift turn to Alo for those moments when they know they'll be photographed.
On top of all that, Alo earns major points for its sustainability efforts. They’re committed to ethical production practices, ensuring that all their pieces are made in sweatshop-free conditions. And with nearly everything being interchangeable, you really get the most out of every piece you buy—no need to chase after specific collections. That’s why we’re all in on Alo, and we think you will be, too.

Combining the hydrating powers of a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-drugstore-face-moisturizers" target="_blank">facial moisturizer</a> with the flaw-minimizing aspects of foundation, tinted moisturizers can be used to cut down the time it takes to complete your makeup routine—plus, they’re handy for traveling.

Top 10 Drugstore Tinted Moisturizers

But when you want all of that with a routine that's actually effortless, tinted moisturizer should be your daily go-to. What sets this type of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-lip-cheek-sticks" target="_self">skin enhancer</a> apart from all the others is its formula. While plenty of makeup products may include a skincare ingredient or two, the best tinted moisturizers prioritize skincare on a whole other level so that it literally feels like you’re putting on moisturizer that just so happens to disguise blemishes, too.
Because tinted moisturizer is a skincare-first type of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-foundations" target="_self">makeup</a>, you’ll want to shop according to your most prominent concerns and/or preferences. For example, if you tend to get really dry in the winter, a tinted moisturizer infused with ingredients that help the skin barrier retain moisture, like hyaluronic acid, will suit you best. On the other hand, if you’re prone to inflammation, tinted moisturizers made with sensitive skin-friendly ingredients are your friends. And no matter your choice, sun protection should also be on your checklist. Thankfully, there are plenty of tinted moisturizers made with SPF if you want to shed your routine of that extra step.
To save you even more time, we pinpointed the best tinted moisturizers with killer reviews and cult status. They speak to the most common skincare needs and cover a slew of price points, which means you’re bound to discover your next great buy.

Here’s A Guide To Help You Find Your New Favorite Tinted Moisturizer

Top 10 Tinted Moisturizers

<div><img alt="Image credits: target" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F2dcd252b-9a711b44-large-hero-image-template-(8).png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>If you have darker skin, you know how hard it can be to find the perfect <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-facial-sunscreens" target="_blank">sunscreen</a>. Many products on the market can leave an unsightly white cast on the skin, which can be frustrating and discouraging. However, it's important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays, regardless of skin tone. Today, we'll take a closer look at why sunscreen is essential and provide a list of the best sunscreens for darker skin tones.
Why Sunscreen Is Important For Darker Skin Tones
While it's true that <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-bb-creams-for-darker-skin-tones" target="_blank">darker skin tones</a> have a higher amount of melanin, which provides natural protection from the sun's rays, it's not enough to completely shield the skin from damage. UV rays can still penetrate the skin and cause various issues, including hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and premature aging. In some cases, it can even lead to skin cancer.
Unfortunately, many sunscreens on the market are not designed with darker skin tones in mind. They can leave a white or grey cast on the skin, making it difficult for those with darker skin to find a suitable option. This is why it's important to research and find sunscreen specifically formulated for darker skin tones.
What To Look For In A Sunscreen For Darker Skin Tones
When searching for the best sunscreen for darker skin tones, there are a few key things to remember. First and foremost, look for a product that is formulated for your skin type. This will help to ensure that it is effective at protecting your skin from the sun's rays without leaving any white or grey cast.
Next, look for a sunscreen with a high SPF (sun protection factor) rating. The <a href="https://www.aad.org/media/stats-sunscreen" target="_blank">American Academy of Dermatology</a> recommends sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. However, some experts recommend using a higher SPF, such as 50 or above, for optimal protection.
It's also important to consider the type of sunscreen you're using. Physical sunscreens, which contain ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, effectively block both UVA and UVB rays. They sit on top of the skin and reflect the sun's rays, providing a physical barrier between the skin and the sun. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, work by absorbing the sun's rays and converting them into heat. While they are highly effective and do not tend to leave a white cast, those with <a href="https://www.houstonmethodist.org/blog/articles/2022/may/mineral-vs-chemical-sunscreen-does-it-matter-which-you-use" target="_blank">sensitive skin</a> should stick with the physical sunscreen as the heat can be an irritant.
