Self-cleaning featureThe Braun Series 7 has a charging base that doubles as a cleaning stand. The biggest improvement in the design is the new 360° Flex Head shaver, which contours to the curves of your face and neck. You can read my full review of the Braun Series 9 here. Whether you like a completely clean shave or neatly trimmed facial hair, you can achieve your desired style with it. I recommend the Braun Series 7 (7071cc) to anyone looking to buy their first electric shaver or to upgrade from an older shaver, even if it's the previous Series 7 model.

So when the Rag & Bone sweatpant jeans started blowing up, we were immediately influenced to see for ourselves if they lived up to their promise. Sally Kaplan/Gabrielle Chase/Business InsiderThe wide-leg sweatpant jeans are slightly baggy with a high-rise waist and 31.5-inch inseam. Gabrielle Chase/Business InsiderThe Rag & Bone sweatpant jeans are truly as soft as sweats, and I understand the comparison with jeggings.

Learn moreNearly every day that I carry Senreve's Maestra bag, I get stopped by someone on the sidewalk or the train. The easy transition also comes in handy for the days when you just want to switch up your look between shoulder bag, top-handle bag, and backpack. SenreveAll three sizes of the bag, the Maestra (from $945), Midi Maestra (from $845), and Mini Maestra (from $745) have the same capacity to transition from bag to backpack. A few years back, if you had ever told me that I'd be singing the praises of an $945 bag, I'd think you were nuts. So let me say this: the Maestra bag is a luxury, but it's one that you will get tons of use out of.

When we saw Everlane's new collection, the messages in our style team's Slack group started flying. As always with Everlane, the thing that took us aback was how brilliantly they executed a collection that turns trendy pieces into ultra-practical staples. But this drop absolutely nailed it by releasing our favorite pieces in organic colors like sage green, sandy brown, and oyster white. Ashley Phillips, former style editor, reviewed Everlane's ReKnit mules and wrote: "This is my first pair of Everlane shoes with the brand's ReKnit material, and I love it! I really like that these mules have a cushioned footbed and a low, sturdy block heel that's easy to wear all day."
