These are the best style, beauty & grooming products of 2023

The Lululemon Everywhere belt bag is something of a legend among those in the know. This versatile bag, available in 12 colors, can be worn around your waist as a traditional fanny pack or over the shoulder as a crossbody bag. It might be small, but don’t be mistaken—this bag is big enough to hold all of your daily essentials (and then some). After wearing the Everywhere Belt Bag for a few months, our tester said, “I can’t remember my life before I owned this bag.” Read our full review.

The cult-favorite Ugg Scuffette II slipper impressed our tester thanks to its fluffy wool lining and the ability to warm your feet without generating sweat. These comfortable mules have a supportive but thin rubber outsole, plush insole, and an easy-to-slide-into backless style that helped earn them the top position on our list of the best slippers for women. As our tester wrote, they're "basically a giant hug for your feet." Read our full review.

L.L.Bean’s Venetian Wicked Good slippers were rated as the best overall men’s slippers when we put them up against nine other competitors. Like the Ugg Scuffette that won our vote for best women’s slipper, these slippers boast a plush shearling interior that’ll keep your feet warm, dry, and in place. Even after wearing them for ten hours, our tester found that there was no moisture buildup or odor. Best of all, the sturdy indoor/outdoor sole means that you can even wear these when you’re stepping out of the house for quick errands. Read our full review.

When we tested Suitsupply’s custom suit program in early 2023, we were blown away by the quality of their clothes, wide range of textiles and colors, and very reasonable pricing structure. Although Suitsupply has been around since 2000, in recent years, the brand has established itself as a trusted retailer for both classic and contemporary menswear staples. Whether you’re on the hunt for a trendy knit polo or need an elegant modern tuxedo for a special night out, Suitsupply is our top menswear retailer of the year. Read our full review.

The GHD Creative Curl Tapered Hair curling wand is intuitive, heats up quickly, and makes the sometimes painstaking process of achieving effortless curls that much easier. The lightweight curling wands heats up in just six seconds, has a cool-tip end to keep you from burning yourself, and for safety purposes, the iron automatically shuts off after 30 minutes. Even with one heat setting and one barrel size, this curling wand’s unique tapered barrel provided the most beautiful results and earned our award for best curling wand. Read our full review.

Whether you intend to style your hair for a big night out or just zap the moisture out of it before you head out the door, the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium dryer is the best one we’ve tested. This hair dryer provides long hair with a sleek, voluminous blowout in about 20 minutes, and its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver while styling. With various temperature and speed settings, you’ll be able to adjust the dryer’s heat and airflow to what your hair needs for a polished result and fast blow-dry. Read our full review.

We love the new Shark FlexStyle because it is an affordable dupe of the cult-favorite Dyson Airwrap. At half the price of the Airwrap, the Shark styling kit includes a base tool that acts as a hair dryer on its own as well as several attachments: two 1.25-inch Auto-Wrap Curlers to curl in both directions, an oval brush that claims to de-frizz and add volume, a paddle brush that aims to straighten and smooth, and a concentrator nozzle that funnels air for better styling control. You can choose kits for straight or coily hair—the latter of which includes a diffuser—or customize your own set. Read our full review.

If you’re ditching the scruff and going for a clean shaven look this year, the Philips Norelco Series 9500 is the tool you’ll want to equip yourself with. It earned the top spot among the best electric shavers we tested because it gives a consistent, close, and comfortable shave using its 72 self-sharpening blades that adjust depending on feedback from the tool’s Smart Hair sensor scanning system. Post-shave, the tool continues to impress with a Quick Clean Pod that makes clean-up a breeze; all you have to do is place the shaver inside and let the pod clean and lubricate the blades for your next shave.

The sleek Hot Tools Pro Artist Black Gold Evolve Ionic Salon Hair flat iron looks like a high-end, luxury hairstyling tool but comes with a much more affordable price tag. The hair straightener heats up in about 15 seconds, can reach up to 455°F, and has a temperature alert so you know when the tool is ready to use. Our tester raved about the nine-foot-long cord that ensures you can always reach an outlet and the rounded edges allow you to create soft waves as well as pin-straight locks. Read our full review.
