Let’s be real: The pressure to have it all together is beyond exhausting. Whether it’s the curated perfection of our IG feeds or the relentless hustle of our 9-to-5s, it feels like we’re constantly bombarded with messages to keep everything neatly tucked in. But Adwoa Aboah and the pointelle queens at Cou Cou are giving us permission to fall apart.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the duo has dropped a limited-edition Out of Order tee that is essentially a middle finger to perfection. It’s cute, cuddly-soft, and — our favorite part — a fashion moment with a purpose. All of the profits go directly to Gurls Talk, Aboah’s nonprofit powerhouse that provides resources for the mental well-being of young women and adolescent girls.
This isn’t just a “buy a shirt, feel good” moment. The collab includes a series of Cou Cou Talks. Aboah will join Taiba Akhuetie, Janet Anderson, Missy Dabice, and Becky Akinyode for a series of chats that lean into the kind of radical vulnerability we actually need right now. All-in-all, reinforcing the fact that there’s no one right way to navigate through the complexities of life.
The limited-edition tee will be available on Cou Cou’s website and at Dover Street London starting April 30, and at Rose Bakery beginning May 16. If you’re searching for a way to support the cause (and look iconic while doing it), this is your sign.

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
While it may feel like spring just started, summer will be here before you know it — and with it comes the season’s official uniform: swimsuits. But gone are the days when we settle for uncomfortable silhouettes that pinch, ride, and pull. Instead, I’m turning to Amazon, where hundreds of flattering one-pieces and bikinis are up for grabs.
But I know how daunting swimwear shopping can be. To make things easier, I streamlined the process and narrowed it down to 18 must-have silhouettes, including one-shoulder finds, swim skirts, ruffled hemlines, and bareley-there styles. Each one stands out thanks to rave reviews, impeccable fits, and eye-catching design details, making it easy to secure one (or two, or three) unbeatable swimsuits. But most impressively, all swimmies start at just $28, including brands like Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Norma Kamali.
Sultry two-pieces are perfect for resort pool parties, while flirty floral one-pieces were made for family-friendly occasions. Meanwhile, genius bandeau separates can double as clothing depending on where you are (think: beach towns, coastal boardwalks, and cruise days).
There’s something for every aesthetic, as well. Bring the drama in an Ulla Johnson silhouette, boasting a flounced strap and burnt orange hue. Or, you can keep things simple wearing Amazon's best-selling one-piece swimsuit in a dreamy white color perfect for bridal parties. But for the ultimate waist-cinching effect, reach for the Miraclesuit twist-top design I can’t stop thinking about.
Ahead, discover more must-have Amazon swimsuits. Trust me, they’ll be headed straight to your cart.
