This £27 Texture Mist Gives My Thin Hair The Indie Sleaze, Boho Waves Of My Dreams

Think Kate Moss at Glastonbury circa 2005; Sienna Miller in 2004’s Alfie, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in New York Minute (also 2004), and Alexa Chung’s 2007 French girl bob. What do they all have in common? Perfectly, effortlessly tousled hair. Hair that suggests late-night partying, a missed alarm clock, and having to do your makeup on the Tube. Or perhaps a jet-set life of sun, sand and sea — a magical concoction that always grants you your best hair days (but usually, for us mere mortals, only on those rare occurrences that you are on holiday). It’s an ideal that I’ve been chasing ever since my formative teenage years and, especially with the resurgence of indie sleaze and all things 2006-to-2012 coded, one that hasn’t gone away with maturity and a fully developed frontal lobe. And so when news of a wonder product — a quick trick to my hair of dreams if you will — trickles in via a friend, I just had to bite. Introducing Hair by Sam McKnight’s aptly named Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist, £27. read more

18 Sunscreens R29 Editors Actually Recommend

Nécessaire The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA+++

“Nécessaire is behind some super-buzzy products (Body Serum, anyone?), but the brand’s SPF lotion is highly slept on, IMHO. Even though it’s pricey at $45 for a full-size bottle, let me be the first to say that this stuff feels *so* luxurious. The gel-cream texture absorbs readily into skin without feeling greasy, and the packaging is a solid 11/10 and looked so cute on my bathroom sink. Oh, and did I mention this is a mineral formula yet leaves absolutely no white cast on my tan skin? My lone complaint is that I wish it came in an SPF 50, but as an everyday sunscreen, it’s truly among the most elegantly formulated I’ve come across.” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer read more

And Now, 5 Elevated Ways to Wear Your Jeans in 2024

While baggy and wide-leg jeans have been the cool new kid on the block for the past few seasons (and unquestionably racking up a ton of miles on my denim odometer), when I saw relaxed ’90s straight-leg silhouettes pop up on the spring/summer 2024 runways, it felt like a stamp of approval to lean into the style again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving up on my wide-leg jeans any time soon—they are the defining denim trend of the past year after all, but straight-leg jeans have always been the silhouette I’ve gravitated to the most. They are versatile, look polished, and are easy to wear with sneakers and heels alike. read more
