A little over a year ago, Mary Harrington wrote in Unherd that modest fashion was having a comeback. In British department stores for middle-class women, high-neck midi dresses and loose-fitting sportswear currently take up the most available shelf space. She explains: “The [traditional] turn in high-street womenswear feels like a mutiny against the long-unchallenged belief that clothing is a vector for self-expression—an idea that usually precedes someone trying to sell you something uncomfortable and expensive.” We can easily detect a similar change in America in woke storefronts like H&M, Old Navy, and the classic department stores, but especially in the explosion of modest boutiques, usually that advertise through social media.

High level political betrayal by apparent friends, siblings, etc is not only perennial, it’s Shakespearian, it’s Biblical…and over time, it’s hitting closer and closer to home

‘Staying together for the kids’ was once the slogan of a marriage in its death throes whose contractually implicated members recognized that the fruit of the union would be directly damaged by its dissolution. Call it no-fault divorce, or the culture of narcissism, or if you can’t see anything wrong with it, cultural evolution, but there’s no denying: this idea that there are goods higher than “self-love” (interchangeably “self-expression,” “self-acceptance,” “self-gratification”) is no longer the norm, especially when it comes to marriage. Cavallari simply says the quiet part out loud. ‘Staying together for the kids’ has been replaced by endless introspection and self-focus, wrapped in the cloak of a therapeutic ‘healing journey.’

We’ve done the hard work for you and found real, aligned experts in the realms of relationships, style, nutrition, and more.

As Valentine’s Day rounds the corner, as you are perusing our Align Valentine’s Day gift guide for him or her, your mind may begin to wander to the topic of love. You may wonder in stunned gratitude at your own luck in finding a spouse as, over the years, marriage rates continue to fall. If single, you may begin to meditate on the apparent difficulty of the current situation: why are relationships so difficult to achieve? to maintain? to improve? to appreciate?

The winter storms that hit over Christmas were a great reminder of a couple things. First, disaster preparedness in your car is essential, second, you should know how to keep your pipes from freezing, and your skin will dry out–unless you take action.

There’s a common tendency in public health discourse for the Highly Credentialed (TM) to make a great show debunking any thought, feeling, or instinct that does not comport with guidelines set by the apparently infallible American regulatory agencies. Often, the targets of these routine smear campaigns are the people most invested in, familiar with, and responsible for the health management of families and children: mothers.

Today, I’m talking about the unspeakable stuff. The stuff that’s slowly killing the social fabric, the environment, and at least half of the women you know. It’s the stuff that’s been prescribed to great swathes of women for several decades, who suffered from acne, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, or image-conscious parents…it’s the silver bullet for modern “hysteria”… it’s a lobotomy in a pill…it’s The Pill.
