Summer is one of the hottest times of the year to cheat on your partner, but some U.S. cities are way more unfaithful than others, according to the 2019 Infidelity Hotlist from Ashley Madison.
The cheating-friendly dating site’s latest list was determined using data from the number of people in each city signing up for the website betweenJune 21, 2018 and September 22, 2018.
And after all that dirty data was compiled, it turns out that the number one most unfaithful American city in 2019 is Orlando, Florida, with Newark, New Jersey (believe it or not) following closely behind at number two.
But if there is a big takeaway from Ashley Madison’s list, it’s that Florida cheaters are in full swing right now. The Sunshine State made four appearances in the top 20 with Orlando, Tampa, Hialeah, and St. Petersburg all staking their claim.
Seattle, which took the top spot in 2018, somehow dropped down to 16th place this year. Get it together, guys!
Here, the top 20 most unfaithful cities in the United States:
1. Orlando, Florida 2. Newark, New Jersey 3. St. Louis, Missouri 4. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 5. Fremont, California 6. Atlanta, Georgia 7. Cincinnati, Ohio 8. Las Vegas, Nevada 9. Tampa, Florida 10. Gilbert, Arizona 11. Hialeah, Florida 12. Cleveland, Ohio 13. Garland, Texas 14. St. Petersburg, Florida 15. Plano, Texas 16. Seattle, Washington 17. Boston, Massachusetts 18. Sacramento, California 19. Anaheim, California 20. Arlington, Texas
“While most would assume that bigger cities probably produce more cheaters per capita, this data shows us what we were already aware of; cheaters are everywhere,” said Isabella Mise, Director of Communications for Ashley Madison.
“Seeing a city like Pittsburgh that’s more well known for its steel production than its nightlife, beat out places that are known as adult playgrounds, like Las Vegas, just reinforces that infidelity can be found in every facet of life, and no city big or small is immune to it.
“This year it’s Orlando, next year… who knows, it could be your hometown.”
Fun fact: Today, June 27, is National Sunglasses Day. While I may not have known about this internet-invented holiday if I didn’t work in media, I figured that at the very least, it’s a great time to check in on the sunglasses trends that are in and out this season either way. It only makes sense when you consider that summer is finally in full swing and the odds of us having an upcoming vacation are only getting higher.
So when it came time to gather the trend info, I thought who better to ask for insights than our Instagram-savvy friends at Dash Hudson, a social media marketing platform? The team there might even have more of a pulse on what is trending than we editors do. After all, if it’s popular on the ’gram, it’s popular in real life (and vice versa). So just what is and isn’t trending in the world of eyewear right now? We’ve got the scoop, based on the pairs that are overachieving in terms of IG engagement as well as those which are falling a bit flat. To read about what’s in and out, plus see and shop the top sunglasses styles of the season, just keep scrolling.
With an engagement rate that’s 23% below that of all other sunglasses on Instagram, it looks like the tiny-sunglasses trend is finally ready to go. It took a while though, no? If you’re wondering what your new statement shade will be, not to worry, because there are countless other trending pairs to choose from this summer.
According to Dash Hudson, colored lenses are the top-trending sunglasses style on Instagram, with an engagement rate that’s over 20% higher than other styles. So if you’re looking to invest in only one new style this season, you now know what it is.
Think of these as the sporty trend taken a few steps further. While we wouldn’t recommend getting rid of your spacey shades, they appear to be slowly on their way out, so we wouldn’t suggest purchasing a new pair either.
Lucky for anyone who invested in a pair when they started bubbling up last year, sporty sunglasses are not only still in but also on the up and up, garnering an engagement rate that’s over 17% higher than other sunglasses on Instagram.
With their engagement levels at 20% less than the average sunglasses, we suggest putting the circle-shaped shades away for a few seasons until they (inevitably) come back in style.
Think squares, ovals, hexagons, and even hearts. The strange-shape trend isn’t necessarily on the rise anymore, but it definitely isn’t declining either, so if you already own them or have your eyes on a pair, it’s still a safe bet.
So we know tiny is out, but it seems that so is too-big. The fact that over-the-top, oversize sunglasses (in any shape) are underperforming on Instagram by 23% tells us that the move this season is medium.
Retro-inspired sunglasses, including aviators, metal frames, and styles with a top bar, are also overperforming at a moderate level, which makes complete sense seeing as they are the most classic of the bunch. While they are not rapidly increasing in engagement, odds are these won’t be going away anytime soon.
We’ll be the first to admit that we here at Who What Wear have a bit of an obsession with stylish royals. As long as Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Queen Letizia of Spain are putting together enviably polished ensembles and leading the latest fashion trends, you can rest assured that we’ll be covering their sartorial choices. Today, however, we’re shifting our focus from well-dressed duchesses, princesses, and queens to sartorially savvy first ladies—whose style shouldn’t be overlooked just because they don’t don crowns.
As it just so happens, first ladies in Argentina, France, Mexico, and the United States are often on the same page, sartorially speaking—especially when it comes to shoes. For example, Juliana Awada, first lady of Argentina, and Angélica Rivera Hurtado, former first lady of Mexico, have an affinity for pointed-toe pumps and have worn the classic style for various occasions, formal and informal alike. At the same time, the first ladies of Argentina and France have demonstrated that they really know how to style a pair of ankle boots.
Scroll on to see how first ladies wear three essential shoe styles and shop similar pairs for yourself.
A wardrobe staple among first ladies and royals alike, pointed-toe pumps are the versatile shoes everyone from France’s current first lady Brigitte Macron to Mexico’s former first lady Angélica Rivera Hurtado wears on repeat.
Neutral pointed-toe pumps are the hardest-working items in any first lady’s wardrobe, as France’s Brigitte Macron demonstrates here, stepping out in a pair of classic black shoes.
Though first ladies are often spotted wearing neutral shoes, as we mentioned above, Juliana Awada makes a compelling case for opting for a bolder shade.
Take a cue from Angélica Rivera Hurtado and wear on-trend snakeskin pumps with a bold statement top.
Slightly more casual than aforementioned pointed-top pumps, strappy sandals are another first lady favorite and are among the most worn shoes in Juliana Awada and Michelle Obama‘s wardrobes.
Make like former FLOTUS Michelle Obama and don a pair of strappy sandals with a dress in the same hue for a sophisticated monochrome look.
Leave it to Juliana Awada to inspire us with a pair of strappy PVC sandals to add to our growing naked shoe collection.
Endlessly versatile, ankle boots can be dressed up or down depending on the formality of the occasion, as Juliana Awada and Brigitte Macron demonstrate here.
Follow Brigitte Macron’s lead and style Chelsea ankle boots with black skinny jeans and a structured blazer to dress up a plain tee.
Take style notes from Argentina’s first lady and wear a pair of black leather ankle boots with a classic plaid coat for a polished cold-weather ensemble.
Although they may seem harmless enough, and we’ll do our best to play Switzerland here, primers are a very triggering category of makeup and skincare within the beauty industry. I know plenty of makeup artists and fellow beauty editors who absolutely swear by them, and I know just as many who absolutely loathe them. For those who love them, primers are the ultimate way to ensure a smooth, oil- and budge-free makeup application. But for those who despise them, they’re just a needless and often disappointing extra step in your routine.
We won’t tell you which camp to pitch a tent in, because honestly, whether or not you’ll stan a makeup primer mainly comes down to personal preference regarding skin concerns, the kind of finish you seek, the bandwidth of your beauty budget, and more. That said, if the only thing stopping you from experimenting or investing in a primer is a limited spending quota, we have great news: Some of the best primer formulas in the business can be found at the drugstore or with drugstore-compatible prices. (Think $20 and under!)
From primers for your lids to primers for your face and lips, all of our favorite drugstore beauty brands have come to our rescue, launching complexion-improving formulas that you’ll love if you’re already camp primer and which might just convert you if you’re not. Ahead, we’re rolling out our 15 beloved primers found at three of our favorite drugstore-offering beauty retailers: Amazon, Walmart, and Dermstore. Keep scrolling!
Great for: minimizing the look of pores. It’s no secret Maybelline is one of the most iconic drugstore beauty brands on the planet. Its Baby Skin collection is an editor favorite, especially. If you’re going for a matte, virtually pore-less finish, work this into your skin in lieu of or on top of your moisturizer, and pre-foundation and concealer.
Great for: on-the-go touch-ups. Nothing is more annoying than applying a perfect face of makeup in the morning and then getting to your car (or the office, ugh!) only to realize you’ve gone creasy and melty. However, this innovative and multi-tasking blurring stick from Milani is here to save the day. It effortlessly fits into every sized bag and works to blur away fine lines, suck up extra oil, and work as a pre-foundation primer to extend your makeup wear from the get-go. (Hopefully, you won’t even need a touch-up!)
Great for: every single skin tone. Similar to the ever-annoying issue with some sunscreens, primers can sometimes alter the natural cast and undertones of our skin—not good. To ensure a glowy, airbrushed finish (sans ashiness), this HD-ready drugstore primer is great worn alone or as the perfect canvas for foundation. Plus, it’s oil-free and infused with an extra punch of SPF to bolster the sunscreen you’re already wearing underneath. (Or that you should be.)
Great for: a soft (not sparkly) glow. Okay, I may be biased, but this as a beauty editor who has tried (and disliked) almost every primer under the sun, this drugstore formula is a standout. I actually use it in my regular makeup rotation. Whenever I wear it, I never feel like I need to swipe a filter over my face, and it’s great for adding a subtle and believable luminosity to your skin! It helps calm the look of redness, is steeped in antioxidants, and features five filtering luminescent pearls for that blurring perk I mentioned.
Great for: keeping your lipstick from melting off your face. A perfect lipstick application is hard enough any time of the year, but it starts to feel especially impossible come summer. However, if you swipe this brilliant pencil from NYX all over your lips before you go in with your lip liners, sticks, and glosses, you’ll have a feather-, fade-, and chap-free application on your hands this season. Oh, and did we mention this drugstore primer is less than $5?
Great for: summer sun protection. I recently tried this drugstore primer/sunscreen hybrid for a five-product makeup tutorial on IG with Who What Wear and Walmart. To be honest, my expectations were low and thanks to the sunscreen addition, I was worried this primer would feel far too heavy and cloying under my foundation. But I was so, so wrong and have found myself using it pretty regularly since. It’s surprisingly lightweight, makes your skin look bright and glowy sans oil, and gives your makeup application an A+ finish worthy of a professional job. It’s seriously impressive.
Great for: age-related concerns. For those seeking a best-of-the-best drugstore primer that will not only make your face look pore- and oil-free but brighter and more youthful, look no further. We love this hydrating and advanced formula for filling in the look of fine lines and helping reduce other age-related qualms like pigmentation over time.
Great for: color-correcting. The art of color-correcting is all about the act of naturalization, and adding green to curb redness is one of the best pro makeup tips we’ve picked up over the years. Not surprisingly, countless primers and makeup products are modeled after the benefit. This drugstore favorite primer and CC cream from Rimmel is the perfect antidote for those with sensitive or quick-to-flush skin. It’s also lightweight enough not to exacerbate blemish-prone skin.
Great for: keeping your greasy lids in check. Eye shadow primers are one of those annoying products you never think you have to but, but once you try them, you never go back. We’d go as far as to say this $8 formula from Flower Beauty is as talented at keeping our shadow locked in place as a far more expensive (and cult-loved formula.) Since you’re likely to go through a product like this pretty fast, we recommend saving versus splurging!
Great for: skin that’s as dry as the Sahara. So many primers on the market are geared toward mattifying away excess oil, which, while totally reasonable, isn’t exactly fantastic for those with dry, flake-prone skin. If you’re someone who’s after a velvety-smooth complexion that’s hydrated and chap-free, we recommend opting for Aveeno’s rich serum hybrid, which has all the hydrating and skin-perfecting perks of a serum, combined with the makeup- and endurance-perfecting benefits of a primer.
Great for: healing and reducing the look of scarring. Technically, we wouldn’t call Dermaflage a drugstore, but price-wise, it’s comparable and boasts an amazing formula, so we couldn’t not include it in our roundup. The brand is known for its spectrum of formulas specifically formulated to help health (and expertly conceal) the look of scarring, and this primer does just that in addition to soothing and smoothing the skin thanks to ingredients like lavender oil. Fun fact: The brand was previously only available at dermatologist and plastic surgeons offices.
Great for: a 24K glow. If you’re on part of Camp Glow versus Matte, this gold-flecked mineral primer potion (try saying that 10 times fast!) will be your ultimate skin and makeup sidekick. It’s reasonably priced, boosts your complexion with a subtle sunkissed shimmer, and also boasts extra brightening skin perks like vitamin C, orange fruit oil, peptides, and antioxidants.
Great for: um, everything? We struggled to land on this primer’s most promising strength, so we just decided to throw in the towel and commend all of its wonderful skin and priming perks. It smoothes, soothes, conditions, controls oil, and shine, and also feels magically lightweight. It’s a tad more expensive than some of the other best drugstore primers on our list, but then again, you’re killing way more birds with your stone.
Great for: the pimple-prone. Again, technically DHC (a fave Japanese beauty brand hailing from Tokyo) isn’t drugstore, but its prices are affordable and its formulas are fantastic, so don’t fight us here. This primer option comes in at less than $20 and is specifically formulated by the brand to tackle issues of excess grease, oil, and acne. Your T-zone will stay matte for hours, and the rest of your makeup will remain smudge- and move-proof to boot.
Great for: the French beauty hoarder. No drugstore beauty roundup would ever be complete without a staple from French favorite La Roche-Posay, and while this is the spendiest drugstore primer in our bunch, it might also boast the most benefits number-wise. It’s packed with SPF 50 (the brand consistently wins best-of awards for its sunscreen formulations) and also primes skin pre-foundation to look and feel silky smooth sans the oil and grease of so many sunscreens.

Strappy, heeled sandals are undoubtedly the It shoe of summer 2019, which means you’ve probably already worn the heck out of whichever pair (or pairs) you own. Lately, I’ve been experiencing strappy-sandal fatigue, as I’ve worn mine with essentially every good summer outfit that’s sitting in my closet. In turn, this always leaves me asking, “Now what?” Well, I’ll tell you what. I went ahead and searched the depths of the internet (aka Instagram) and discovered not one but 15 fresh ways to style the number one shoe trend of the summer.
Now when I say fresh, I really mean it. We’re talking out-of-the-box, innovative, and unique outfit ideas that all incorporate the strappy-sandal trend in different ways. Be it a printed bike shorts–and-blazer situation or even a tennis-skirt look (you’re going to love that one), the summer outfit ideas ahead are primed and ready for you to start incorporating them into your daily life as soon as possible. And if you don’t already own a pair, don’t worry. There are plenty of our favorites below as well.
Style Tip: Wear your tennis skirt outside the court for a change. The addition of strappy heels and a crop top will have you ready for a night out in no time.
Style Tip: Mix and match colors within the same color family without getting too monochromatic.
Style Tip: Lighten up a pair of tough leather shorts with a tube top and elegant strappy sandals.
Style Tip: Contrary to the last tip, go all out and choose two colors on opposite ends of the color wheel for a striking color-blocked look.
Style Tip: If you’re going for the ’80s trend, really go for it by way of bold shoulders and an acid-wash miniskirt.
Style Tip: Instead of plain black bike shorts, take a printed pair for a spin. Strappy sandals, in this case, instantly give the outfit a polished finish.
Style Tip: Going for a mixed-print look? We approve. Just make sure your shoes are enhancing the contrasting pieces, not distracting from them.
Style Tip: The PVC shoe trend is still alive and kicking, but if it’s never really been your cup of tea, you can get the same naked-shoe effect with nude strappy sandals.
Style Tip: The ’90s called, and they want you to fully embrace them all summer long, three-piece suits and all. Additionally, if you haven’t invested in a pair of strappy sandals yet this season, a black pair is a great start.
Style Tip: Even something as classic as a full tweed set can be modernized by way of sleek strappy shoes.
Style Tip: We call this one “basketball practice, but make it fashion.” Think outside the box and try pairing a more athleisure piece with this summer shoe trend.
Style Tip: Yes, you can wear socks with sandals in the summer, so stop being afraid and try it for yourself.
Style Tip: Dress up your jean shorts with the sassy addition of a leather jacket and heeled sandals.
Style Tip: Dad shirts can feel just as elevated as a prairie top when paired with sleek, barely there shoes.
Style Tip: Jorts can sometimes get a bad rap, and even though they are currently trending, they can be hard to style. Throw on these shoes, and you’ll be able to make any jorts outfit work.
