☆ Micro-trends are taking over social media, and keeping up can be really expensive
  + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Lindsay Dodgson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Fast-moving fashion micro-trends on social media can drive impulsive spending. A novel aesthetic or "-core" circulates on social media every few weeks, prompting consumers to buy in. 'The perfect profitability storm'Fast fashion, social media, and retailers like Shein have together created "the perfect profitability storm for the businesses and influencers using them," said Anthony Miyazaki, a marketing professor at Florida International University. Along with social media algorithms, micro-trends are being fueled by the cycle of doom spending: buying unnecessary stuff to feel better. "While it's easy to get caught up in what others are doing, it's important to remember that not everything is as it seems on social media," she said.

Rich millennials in the US have been known to splash out on their pets, new laundry rooms, and expensive coffee machines. And over in China, rich millennials have their own ideas of what counts as a luxury status symbol. AdvertisementExpect to see these rich millennials mixing luxury casual wear like T-shirts and sneakers with traditional luxury brands, Banta told BI. And getting regular aesthetic treatments has become a top priority for affluent millennials, Banta told BI. Independent luxury brands that offer more authentic products and those that draw on cultural heritage are also highly in demand, she said.

  + stars: | 2024-04-27 | by ( The Upshot Staff | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +20 min
Ten years ago this week, The New York Times introduced the Upshot, a section devoted to explaining “politics, policy and everyday life.” That’s a wide scope, by design. As a result, more than 5,000 articles later, the Upshot has been many things to many readers. To mark our 10th birthday, we’ve collected 100 stories that embody the Upshot. WordleBot Eden Weingart/The New York Times When Wordle first became popular, several people on the internet claimed, plausibly, that they had come up with the “best” opening word. Force of Ship Impact Was on the Scale of a Rocket Launch Erin Schaff/The New York Times We think of the Upshot as a place where back-of-the-envelope calculations can be both helpful and welcome.

☆ Wow, turns out owning 75 Stanley cups isn't environmentally friendly
  + stars: | 2024-02-12 | by ( Katie Notopoulos | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
But the impact of manufacturing a stainless steel cup is significant, so you really need to use that cup a lot to make it worthwhile. And you're replacing dozens or even hundreds of single-use cups with that one reusable mug," said Sandra Goldmark of Columbia University's Climate School. Of course, this gets even hairier when you consider that Stanley cups have peaked in trendiness, and are now the domain of middle schoolers. The takeaway — at least environmentally: one Stanley cup is good. Many Stanley cups … not so good.

☆ The New Office Status Symbol Holds a Lot of Water—and Has a Wait List
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Callum Borchers | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The $50 Stanley Quencher boasts a double-walled design that puts an end to melting ice and frequent refills. Its real achievement might be solving a less technical problem: how to show off in today’s casual, hybrid workplace. Put the Jimmy Choo shoes and Armani suits back in the closet. The new on-the-job status symbol is a tumbler only slightly smaller than hockey’s Stanley Cup and nearly as valuable to some. Sometimes going for two to three times its retail price on the secondary market, this desktop trophy allows its owner to flaunt a combination of trendiness, disposable income and, presumably, bladder control.
