These new clothes from Guess make putting on lotion as easy as getting dressed

To be competitive in today’s clothing market, you can’t just be another item on a rack — rather, you’ve gotta go beyond fashion. And thanks to a new design from Guess, your latest pair of jeans from their Jeancare collection is going to do much more than keep you covered — they’ll slim your butt and thighs, and more impressively, they even claim to hydrate, nourish, and soothe your skin. Who knew that a fabric reinforced with blood flow-improving ginkgo extract, antioxidant-laden vitamin E, and the delightful smells of lavender and chamomile would ever grace our bodies?

These wonder clothes work by way of a multitude of microcapsules that are embedded throughout them. When you walk, the capsules burst, releasing this nourishing mix onto (and I suppose into) your skin. And it’s not just regular old blue denim that make use of this impressive new technology — Guess has also applied the formula in white skinny jeans, high-rise leggings, a pencil skirt, a dress, and a crop top. The cheapest piece in the collection starts at $59 (for the top), and prices go up to $128 for the pants. And considering the price of other designer jeans, this price range for clothing that doubles as a personal spa is not bad at all.

Of course, the obvious issue with this design is keeping it clean — a Guess spokesperson warns against “heavy washing” for fear of soaking away all the extra features, and since your clothes are made to smell like lavender, you won’t have to worry about your natural odors anyway (up to a point, at least).

So if you want to “feel as good as you look,” invest in one of Guess’ Jeanwear pieces, and never worry about lotioning, working out, or I guess, showering again.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.
[CES 2023] Relumino Mode: Innovation for every need | Samsung
Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
