Types of Shopping

Jason Kent, a self-described "hacker in residence" at Cequence Security Inc., sat down in front of a pair of computer monitors at his home in Hilliard, Ohio. On them he watched as one of his clients sold off millions of dollars in assets in thousands of transactions conducted across mere minutes. Kent was acting as a digital sentry, guarding not against theft but against arbitrage, in this case of limited-edition sneakers that a sports apparel retailer was releasing for sale on its website: Nike SB Dunks, the latest Yeezys, and some Air Jordans. Kent was there to make sure ordinary people had an honest shot at buying these sought-after shoes. Standing in his way, on this particular day last March, was an army he describes as "15-year-old kids sitting in a basement somewhere making $200,000 a year reselling sneakers." To siphon up shoes, they deploy automated shopping software, or "bot" programs, such as Cybersole, GaneshBot, and Kodai, which have roiled t

On a recent visit, the waterfall and the pink marble were still there, but the escalator going up from the first floor was roped off, a currency exchange was closed, and small ground-level shops had been converted to display windows for Trump-brand

Torrid While the average American woman wears a size 18-20, most clothing brands cap out at a size 12 — that means the majority of women are excluded from shopping. There's long been demand for the fashion industry as a whole to steer away from systemic fatphobia and offer more size inclusivity, and while there are a few brands that are finally listening in the body positivity era, progress has been slow and clothing options available in plus-sizes are still sparse. That's why the pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab vetted the market to find brands that actually offer a wide range of plus-size clothes — not just a few pieces here and there — to make shopping for the majority of women easier and more convenient. Based on feedback from our testers and vetted online reviewers, we chose the brands that feature a variety of trendy, stylish clothes that fit a range of b

Although I was brave and still wore jeans in the summertime, they're put on heavy rotation when the weather starts to drop. I love to wear them with chunky knits and jackets, but since the weather can be a bit up and down, I've been leaning more toward lightweight tops that bring that fall touch without feeling like I'm in a sauna. Having cute tops on deck is also necessary for getting creative with layering, which I'll be doing a lot of soon. I couldn't help myself and found 30 standout tops on the market that'll pair easily with your jeans this season. This mix has got it all, from colorful button-downs to the second-skin tops of your dreams. Expect the fall necessities, too, like ribbed and leather options. What are you waiting for?
