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

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

The Buds Clip automatically detect their position and swap audio channels, removing one small but persistent annoyance from wireless earbuds
OnePlus Buds Clip commuter

The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.

Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.

Body Part, Knee, Person

We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.

Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
