When you’re trying to nail down the right size for clothing, it’s easy to morph into the math lady meme real quick. But instead of floating formulas for calculating the volume of a cone, it’s sizing charts for jackets and jeans. Letter sizing (S, M, L, XL, etc.) tries to simplify the process, but basically every brand has its own definition of those letters. Sizing between garments within a single brand complicates the issue even further. That's why it's helpful to simply refer to the garment's measurements, which means you need to know your measurements. Here's how to get them.

Which Apple Watch Is Right for You?Apple now sells three different Apple Watch models: the Series 7, the SE and the Series 3. The truth is that every Apple Watch released in the last four years is generally similar — they all run the same watchOS, look and work fairly similar and have the same 18-hour "all day" battery life. Choosing between the different models is ultimately going to come down to the newer design, an always-on display, some exclusive wellness features and how much you're willing to pay. Here's what you need to know about each model in order to make a decision.

The through-line of impending spring is apparent in February's fitness gear releases — from athleisure-influenced chinos to velvety sweaters, this month is all about combining coziness and practicality.
TItching for a New Detergent? Try One of These Formulated Specifically for Sensitive SkinWhen testing both the best-smelling detergents and detergents designed for dark clothing, one of my main considerations was whether or not those detergents were safe for skin or not. Irritants abound in most detergents: fragrances, dyes, surfactants and preservatives, to name a few. I set out to find 10 detergents safe for those with sensitive skin. Each of these may be a milder cousin of more popular detergents, but you’ll lose none of the potency in their cleaning abilities. And, hey, not getting a rash after every load isn’t a bad thing either. It’s a win-win in my book.
