TipRanks2 Big Dividend Stocks Yielding at Least 10%; Here’s What You Need to KnowStock markets are up and holding near record high levels, a condition that would usually make life difficult for dividend investors. High market values normally lead to lower dividend yields – but even in today’s climate, it’s still possible to find a high-yielding dividend payer. You need to look carefully, however. The market story of the past year has been unusual, to say the least. Last winter saw the steepest and deepest recession in market history – but it was followed by a fast recovery that is only now slowing. Many companies pulled back on their dividends at the height of the corona panic, but now they are finding that yields are too low to attract investors, and are looking to start increasing pay...

Fast fashion is a trendy, throwaway method of selling clothes pioneered by companies like H&M & Zara. The low-cost clothing collections are based on the current, high-cost luxury fashion trends that are churned out every few days. Fast fashion is extremely light on pockets and easily accessible. However, the ethics of the fast fashion industry have been called into question many times, and unlike many fashion trends, the conversation surrounding the toxicity of fast fashion seems to never go out of style.  Dark side of fast fashion The world of fast fashion is extremely trend-driven where customer preferences change overnight.

Independent fashion retail, like many industries, has been hit hard by the pandemic, with many businesses like Sies Marjan, Need Supply, Totokaelo, Cushnie, and Bird in Brooklyn forced to close doors in the last year. That’s why supporting small businesses is essential right now. This is especially true for shops that cater toward plus-size shoppers, a major segment of the U.S. population — 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or up — that is rarely the fashion industry’s focus of attention. That said, finding small, plus-size clothing retailers to shop from can be a daunting task, leading many to default to fast fashion instead. One look at Twitter confirms this, with many people asking their followers this question: Where are all the plus-size clothing brands that aren’t fast fashi...

In 2012, “fashion therapist” Tim Gunn tweeted: “When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they’re not pajamas.” Zoom (pun intended) into 2020, when PJs are the fashion fatigues. It was around the end of March that, most of us, turned our hermit modes on. The fact that comfortable can be chic — and profitable — is witnessed in the rise of the 2018 “ugly sneaker” or “dad shoe” trend /* User Identification Code Start */ var _tiluuid = localStorage.getItem('_tiluuid'); if (_tiluuid === null) { function receiveMessage(evt) { if (evt.origin === 'https://tilanalytics.timesinternet.in') { _tiluuid = evt.data; localStorage.s...
