Aerie
Promising review:"These are super soft and super comfy. The material is very good quality. Love the fit!" — Dippi
2. Crossover leggings available in a lovely lilac hue to embrace the upcoming spring (because January felt like it took 99 years and I'm ready for warmth).
Aerie
Promising review:"I will never not get a new color of the signature Aerie crossover leggings. The fit...amazing. The feel...literally butter. The colors...GORGEOUS." — Hailey
Price: $31.46 (originally $44.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in short, regular, long lengths, and in 10 colors)
3. A sweater shrug if you want extra warmth but don't want to make a commitment to a sometimes-too-warm cardigan. Tank top, meet your new significant other.
Aerie
Promising review:"I bought this two week ago and I love it! It fits perfectly and it's so comfortable. A great pick for layering in the winter." — Addie
4. Soft trousers to fool your friends into thinking you got "dressed up" for brunch this morning but actually you're just wearing a more structured set of sweatpants.
Aerie
Promising review:"These pants are not only the most comfortable to wear sitting at a desk all day, but also to do a cartwheel. If you are in search of comfy outfits for your everyday life without wearing the typical sweats and hoodie, this will elevate you right to the level you need." — star
5. A mockneck sweater crafted from 100% cotton and available in a bright bubblegum pink to add a pop of color to your otherwise all-black wardrobe (though, to note, this is also available in more neutral hues).
Aerie
6. An uber soft oversize crewneck if your entire "outfit inspo" Pinterest board is exclusively Princess Diana.
Aerie
Promising review:"This is a great basic crewneck sweatshirt! The sleeves are very nice and roomy. The thumb holes are a great extra on a cooler day. It is thick, without being heavy. I have had it less than a week and have already worn it twice." — Anonymous
7. A sleeved maxi dress made of a deliciously soft legging-like material but — a little bodycon, a little heel — and poof, Cinderella is ready for the ball.
Aerie
Promising review:"I'm OBSESSED with this dress! I love dresses and love yoga pants and this is the perfect combo of the two! Can be worn dressed down or up. Looks cute with vests, jackets, cardigans over it. Perfection! I wore it the first day I got it and then bought the other colors as well." — TinaWimBim
8. A pajama shirt with a soft, luxe fabric that is blissfully lightweight and won't cling to your skin the second the night sweats start to kick in.
Aerie
Promising review:"I am very picky with pajamas and these are easily my favorite! Flowy and do not stick to skin. Material is stretchy and cooling so you don't sweat. These pajamas are incredibly well made. I purchased the blue and they are not see-through." — Catherine
9. A striped shirt you can pair with leggings and a baseball cap for that model-off-duty look that everyone is touting on Instagram. And let's get a round of applause for that gorgeous scoop back, please?
Aerie
10. Denim overalls for an all-season ensemble that can be layered over sleeved thermals or tanks, perfect for ski trips and farmer market hauls in equal measure.
Aerie
11. High-rise leggings made from a stretchy, lightweight fabric that remains opaque in a multitude of colors and patterns: leopard and vinyl blue are my favorite, personally.
Aerie
12. Pointelle pajama pants that call for a cup of hot cocoa and a Law & Order: SVU marathon in the fine print.
Aerie
Promising review:"These are perfect and so soft. Just get them, I want it in every color." — Sarah
13. A no-fuss tank for lounging around the apartment or pairing with shorts the second the weather rises above freezing.
Aerie
14. A slightly cropped turtleneck that boasts versatility: wear this for movie nights (both at home or at the theatre) or to dinner with friends and rest assured you're never breaking the dress code.
15. A stretchy jumpsuit that's form fitting at the top but loose at the bottom, perfect attire for cartwheels, errands, and a fancy dinner when styled with wedges and an accessory or two.
16. A classic crewneck tee available in a bunch of cute patterns with fun embellishments. Case in point: the style we cherry-picked below.
Aerie
17. A sleeved lace "workout" dress I'll be wearing to nonworkout events, thank you very much. Plus, pair this with a crewneck sweater and voila, it looks like a skirt.
18. A vintage-inspired satin nightie to romanticize your nighttime skincare routine, or just layer this over a tee and with combat boots to live out your Tumblr-era outfit dreams.
19. Ribbed trousers if you love the feel of leggings but are looking for something with *slightly* more room. So long, suffocating your knees with tight fabric, am I right?
Aerie
20. A seamless cropped tee about to become the little black dress of your wardrobe, i.e. it will be worn with alarming frequency (think: every single day).
Aerie
21. A polo sweatshirt available in bright reds and lemon yellows alongside a more neutral palette: army green, white, smoky gray.
22. A corset bra top if the ~girls~ want support but don't want to hear a whisper of the word "underwire" once they've crossed the doorway into their home.
23. A bodycon maxi dress made from a kitten-soft stretchy fabric perfect for lounging or going out for drinks. It has a barely-there feel that rivals your pajamas for comfort.
Aerie
Promising review:"Love, love, love! Great cut, super soft, ample stretchy fabric, and deep, gorgeous color. I love the squared neckline, adjustable straps, length, and micro ribbing of this fabric. It's classy, comfy, and soft." — AZGirl
24. A classic V-neck you'll be able to throw on quickly ahead of the virtual meeting that happens at the same time every week and yet, you forget about its existence until one minute before start time.
25. A sweatshirt that takes the most beloved aspects of your favorite tops (the versatility of a tee, the comfort of a crewneck) and combines them into one trendy, puff-sleeve silhouette.
26. Bike shorts you'll purchase now and wear for eons to come. This classic staple is the perfect workout accessory: sweat-wicking and stays firmly in place.
Aerie
27. Wide-leg trousers made with an ultra soft fleece inner to envelop your legs in the coziest clouds imaginable.

13 Habits Men Do Alone At Home

Some people consider it a true luxury to have alone time at home, especially if they have a family to care for. So we asked the married men of the BuzzFeed Community, "What's the first thing you do when your family leaves the house, and you're finally by yourself?" Here's what they had to say: "Make a disgustingly huge meal, pop those pants off, and read in complete silence." —Anonymous, 36, Boston "Lounge around naked. Before I got married and had kids, I was basically an at-home nudist. It's comfortable, involves less laundry, and is better for the skin. We're fairly casual with nudity at home now, but not just sitting around or doing everything naked. I miss that feeling of freedom." "Binge-watch my shows (automotive, survival, construction, etc). Take a bath, relax, and do some R&R." —Anonymous, 38, Utah "My wife has this wildly strong aversion to meat on the bone, and the sound of crunching and chewing. So, if she goes out for the evening, then it's a wings and Doritos night for me. I can eat in peace without her being bothered or complaining about the crunching of chips. That and watching old cartoons from the '80s and '90s." "Honestly, I dance around and sing at the top of my voice. Secondly, have some 'private' time." —Anonymous, 39, Edinburgh "Xbox. I know it seems obvious, but just being able to play for hours at a time and not miss the cut scenes that advance the story in the game is bliss." "I would go to the beach during the day, then buy a bunch of frozen pizzas, ice cream, fudge, rent (before streaming) all the movies I wanted to watch, and make a strong cocktail. Usually, her dog would clean up the leftovers. We promised never to tell. Oh, it was heaven." —Anonymous, 54, California "I like to slip slowly into a comatose state, doing minimally as possible for survival until about the last hour of freedom, where I do all the cleaning and house projects until my wife gets home." "I make lamb chops or steak — because my wife doesn't like them — sit out on the back porch, smoke a cigar (she doesn't like the smell), listen to music loudly (she says it hurts her ears), and hope she doesn't come home early." —Anonymous, 58, Pennsylvania "Get stoned and watch the most violent, curse word-filled movie with the surround sound on full blast!" "If my better half is leaving for a work trip or a few hours, I'll usually cook something she doesn't enjoy and pour a wee dram or three of Scotch. Normally, our dog isn't permitted on the sofa when we're eating, but I look the other way. Sitting on the sofa, dog's head on my lap while watching a game or a movie I enjoy is probably boring, but I'm happy. If it's a multi-day trip, I'll try to tackle a couple of small projects around the house." —Anonymous, 55, Washington DC "I usually tidy up the house a bit first, just so I don't have to look at a mess and so the wife will be happy when she gets back. Then I plan my meals, shooting for trying places the wife and kids wouldn't want to try. Then I usually plan a few activities they wouldn't want to do, like visiting a new brewery or seeing what sort of live music events might be happening in the evenings. Once all of that is planned, I fill the rest of the time playing video games, watching shows or movies they wouldn't want to watch, reading, or napping." "Having time ALONE that isn't more than just a few hours is a luxury I don't get to experience often anymore. I love my partner, but thanks to our work schedules, we're rarely apart aside from when we're at work. So when she goes away for the weekend for whatever reason, I RELISH the opportunity. But in reality, I don't actually do much different than I usually do — the big difference is that I can do it in COMPLETE SILENCE. Not talking to each other is NOT the same thing as being alone." "I can read or watch whatever I want without feeling guilty about not talking, I can eat whatever I want without having to consider what she's in the mood for, I can work on projects on my own time, or I can just play video games for hours on end! Or, I could watch movies or TV shows that I haven't finished or started yet, which I don't usually do if I know she's not gonna be into it. And, of course, I might have to run errands, but I can do it on my own time in SILENCE. It's very important to me to have someone who respects that I NEED space every once in a while, and she does. In fact, I worry about people who CAN'T be away from their partner for long, if at all. The best advice I can give is to make sure you're with someone who respects when you need personal space or isn't worried about leaving you alone for a few days. In my opinion, it's unhealthy otherwise. I've been in relationships before where I can't even go home for the holidays without being accused of cheating while I'm away! What kind of crap is that? (Not discrediting people who have actually been cheated on a bunch, but if you're worried your partner is out cheating, maybe you should get a new one. Just saying.) And for when she gets back, I'll usually get some steaks a few days ahead of time so we have something to cook easily, and she'll love coming home to that."—Anonymous, 31, Michigan Men, do you have a certain ritual that you do when you're home alone?

Life Time athletic club opening at 452 Fifth Ave.

The owners of 425 Fifth Avenue, aka 10 Bryant Park between East 39th and 40th streets, landed another big catch at their tower where Amazon recently signed for 330,000 square feet — and it all started with a game of pickleball. In one of Manhattan's largest retail-space deals this year, burgeoning 'athletic urban country club' Life Time signed for 52,000 square feet on four levels, including in the soon to be vacated, 17,000 square-foot Staples store. It will open in early 2027 behind a prominent Fifth Avenue entrance. The Life Time deal all but completes the leasing picture at the 865,000 address, which consists of three formerly separate structures that include the 10-story Knox Building. Advertisement 4 425 Fifth Avenue, aka 10 Bryant Park between East 39th and 40th streets, center. Google Maps Life Time has 180 clubs in the US and Canada. Chief property development officer Parham Javaheri said 10 Bryant Park checked all the boxes for what he wanted in Midtown. 'We want to serve both our residential and commercial cores,' he said. 'Although the location is obviously more commercial, there's a lot of residential growth nearby as well.' Advertisement Life Time, founded by chairman and CEO Bahram Akradi, has seven other Manhattan locations, two in Brooklyn, and another coming at the supertall Brooklyn Tower condo project. Javaheri said, 'We want to grow methodically. Meaning, we want destinations that let us stay true to what Life Time is, and they require a lot of space.' In fact, several others in the city are even larger than at 10 Bryant Park with 80,000 square feet each. The 10 Bryant Park edition will boast a luxurious, co-ed 'wet' suite with steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs and cold plunges; a workout floor with best-in-class cardio and resistance-training equipment; a recovery space with massage chairs and body-compression technology; and a half-dozen boutique-style studios for group fitness formats. 4 A rendering of the Life Time athletic club location at 10 Bryant Park, which is expected to open in early 2027. LIFE TIME Advertisement Eli Elefant, CEO of 10 Bryant Park landlord Property & Building Corp., said, 'We had the privilege or repositioning the building in a post-Covid world. It gave us the ability to reimagine what a commercial building can look like in a challenging environment.' Elefant said, 'When we lost our big bank tenant, HSBC, we got all their antiquated space back. Our thought was to lean heavily into the tech sphere and market the former bank space to big users and we were ultimately successful.' With the Amazon deal, the 30-story tower's office floors are 100% leased. What he called a 'blank slate' after HSBC decided to move to The Spiral in Hudson Yards also suggested the need to deliver what Amazon and many other 21st Century tenants want: a spectacular 'wellness' amenity. 'We didn't just want to build a gym,' Elefant chuckled. 4 Eli Elefant, center, the CEO of 10 Bryant Park owner Property & Building Corp., and Life Time chief property development officer Parham Javaheri, right, bonded over their vision during a pickleball game. LIFE TIME Advertisement Introduced by brokers, he and Javaheri first met on Oct. 17, 2023. 'We talked about a lifestyle-physical concept,' Elefant said. 'I said, 'Why don't we meet for a workout?'' Javaheri recalled, 'We played pickleball at 1 Penn and at Sky on West 42nd Street. Eli told us what his vision was for a strong amenity. We formed a good friendship.' 4 A rendering of the interior of the announced Life Time athletic club at 10 Bryant Park. LIFE TIME The competition 'was a great way for him to humiliate me,' Elefant laughed. 'But I'm a firm believed in personal synergies' in a changed real estate market that needs to be 'less sharp-elbows than collaborative, although I'm not sure everyone got the message.' Atlantic Retail's Joe Mastromonaco represented Life Time and JLL's Patrick Smith acted for the ownership. Property & Building's parent company owns 14 million square feet of buildings in Israel, but 10 Bryant Park is the only one in New York it wholly owns although it has discreet investments at others.

Hailey Bieber Wears Body-Hugging Strapless Green Minidress in New York on Solo Trip

THE RUNDOWN On Saturday, Hailey Bieber stepped out in New York City wearing a gorgeous green satin minidress. The strapless look hugged her figure and ended just above her knees. On her feet, the Rhode founder wore a pair of black kitten heels and she swung a black purse in one hand. She accessorized with black oval sunglasses, gold earrings, a gold wristwatch, and her wedding ring, which had been notably absent in her other New York outings this week. Earlier in the day, Hailey was seen in a fun summer outfit, wearing a sleeveless black top and black-and-white polkadot short pants. She carried another black handbag and wore thong kitten heels. She also posted a mirror selfie of the ensemble in her Instagram Stories, her left hand spread across her thigh to show off her ring. On Friday, Hailey was seen heading out for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village, then later that same night with models Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side. It seems she is unaccompanied by her husband, Justin Bieber. Justin has recently been recorded having confrontations with paparazzi and has posted frequently about his struggles with the spotlight on social media. A source told Us Weekly on February 24, 'Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible. It can be hard for Hailey, but she's always there for him and is understanding.' On March 5, another source denied that the couple is having trouble, telling People, 'No matter what the rumors are, they are fine. Their marriage is fine. They're very happy together.' In November 2021, Hailey discussed the first year of marriage and wanting to be there for Justin during all of his challenges. 'Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life, potentially. I'm not that type of a person,' Hailey said on the In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith podcast. 'So I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be. It was really hard. There were days where I literally was like, 'I don't know if he's going to be okay.' Something really deep down inside of me was like, 'He's going to get through it.' I just didn't know how long it was going to take. That's what I think was the hardest thing. There's no guarantees.'
