Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand Skims has developed a cult following for its everyday basics and intimates and its neutral color palette — so much so that it has inspired a subgenre of “Skims dupes and alternatives.” Customer favorites include a form-fitting maxi lounge dress that drapes down the body. Last week, Skims expanded into bridal with 63 styles of dresses, lingerie, shapewear and loungewear, with some of its best sellers updated in white, baby blue and pink. At first glance, a shapewear brand expanding into bridal may seem random, but it’s a common move for many intimates brands. Savage X Fenty and Victoria’s Secret, two of Skims’s competitors, both have bridal shops. “Everything is white and ivory and lacy, and it’s their time to wear these pieces in those colors,” she said.

“They’re not necessarily defining ‘wholesome’ the way the Midwesterners traditionally do, but more in the sense of having a positive outlook on life,” Ms. Lamont said. Mr. Luna thinks of wholesomeness as kindness, like giving up a seat for an elder or complimenting a stranger. “I saw a video of a person talking to a homeless man, and they became good friends after a while. There are also oodles of wholesome meme accounts, which Gen Z prefers over the satirical millennial memes of the early 2010s that were coated with dark humor and doused in irony. “Sometimes those ironic and satirical memes are too heavy-handed, and they go into things that, at a certain point, it’s not really a joke anymore,” Mr. Luna said.

Trump was back on CNN primetime during a town hall appearance on Wednesday night. And CNN certainly seemed to be eager for conservative buy-in during the Wednesday town hall, filling the room with a mixture of New Hampshire Republicans and effectively independent voters.
