We’ve all been wearing our comfy clothes while working from home for the last few months, but there’s still a world of fashion out there. Summer is almost here and it brings a whole new set of trends with it. According to fashion editors at “Who What Wear,” some outdated styles have done their time and need to go and they tell us what’s going to be in this season instead.
- Letting Go: Gladiator Sandals and Swapping For: Two-Strap Sandals -Senior news editorErin Fitzpatricksays gladiator sandals are “a bit outdated at this point” and says “much sleeker” two-strap sandals are the way to go.
- Letting Go: Flat Flip-Flops and Swapping For: Elevated Heeled Thong Sandals -Lots of people will be sliding on flip-flops this summer, but managing editorKristen Nicholssuggests the “sleek” heeled versions are the ones to add to your closet.
- Letting Go: Prairie Tops and Swapping For: Baby Tanks -If you’ve worn yourself out on last year’s prairie-top trend and you’re looking for something more versatile this season, fashion editorLauren Eggerstenrecommends baby tank tops instead. She says they’re “reminiscent of the ‘90s and luckily can be really cheap.”
- Letting Go: Tiny Sunglasses and Swapping For: Shield Shades -Ready to say goodbye to the itty bitty sunglasses trend? Market editorJudith Jonessays they’re out and shield sunglasses are in.
- Letting Go: Short Shorts and Swapping For: Longer Cuts -Several editors are calling it quits on their short shorts in favor of the denim bermuda shorts trend, includingAnna LaPlaca, who calls the longer look “a chicer alternative to the teeny-tiny denim cutoffs that reigned for years.”

Study: The Happiest Songs Ever
Sorry to break the news toPharrell,but it turns out his song “Happy” didn’t even crack the top 10 happiest songs of all time. A new study took a deep dive into music’s happiest hits, and according to science,Electric Light Orchestra’s“Mr. Blue Sky” the happiest song ever.
Now granted, the survey was made of people aged 30 to 55 and they definitely brought their biases to the study. Researchers found 58% of adults said the songs which made them the happiest were the ones released when they were a kid. So when you’re checking out the list of the happiest songs of all time, don’t be surprised when it’s mostly the biggest songs of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Top 10 Happiest Songs Of All Time
- “Mr. Blue Sky” –ELO
- “Don’t Stop Me Now” –Queen
- “Stayin’ Alive” –Bee Gees
- “Dancing Queen” –Abba
- “Livin’ On a Prayer” –Bon Jovi
- “Come on Eileen” –Dexys Midnight Runners
- “You Can Call Me Al” –Paul Simon
- “Walking on Sunshine” –Katrina and the Waves
- “Just Can’t Get Enough” –Depeche Mode
- “Never Gonna Give You Up” –Rick Astley
Why those decades in particular? Behavioral scientist and broadcasterPaul McKennasays “We associate the song to good times from the past. To some extent, we get transported back there.” Music can be like a drug that lays dormant in our system until one day, it strikes again. McKenna says when we go down a nostalgia trip “all the happy neurotransmitters that are associated with a certain song that uplifts us, get released again.” And that’s why he says the best thing for your mental health right now is to kick back with some headphones and listen to the songs that made you happy as a kid.
