Finding clothing that fits and is worth your money, skincare that lives up to the hype, and cosmetics that work for midlife skin requires more than a brand’s size chart and a glowing review from a TikToker. That’s why Wardrobe Oxygen features community reviews: detailed, firsthand assessments written by vetted members of the Wardrobe Oxygen Community.
Here’s how it works: review opportunities are offered to members of the community, a private Facebook group of predominantly women in midlife who are kindhearted, supportive, and passionate about personal style. Those selected receive the product to keep, plus fair compensation for writing an in-depth, honest article for this site. No talking points, no brand approval — just their genuine experience with fit, quality, sizing, performance, and value.
The result is informed, independent feedback from a variety of grown women: different bodies, different skin tones and skin types, different needs from their closets, medicine cabinets, and lives. It brings the community together, and helps you become a more informed consumer.
Want to be part of the community behind these reviews? The Wardrobe Oxygen Community is a private Facebook group where women in midlife gather to talk style, swap recommendations, and support one another. It’s free to join, and review opportunities are shared there first.
You can also follow Wardrobe Oxygen on Instagram for daily style inspiration and Pinterest for thousands of curated outfit ideas and shopping picks.

My sister Debbie has written for Wardrobe Oxygen before. She recently texted me about a subject I hadn’t written about. It was one I knew many of you would also want to know about: plus size short sleeved tops for summer. The kind of tops that are more elevated than a t-shirt for all those…
Over the past year, many of you here at Wardrobe Oxygen and in the Wardrobe Oxygen Community have been desiring reviews on smaller fashion brands, sustainable fashion, women- and Black-owned clothing retailers, and lesser-known size-inclusive apparel companies. In an effort to offer a variety of reviews of quality brands, I have reached out to members…
I know I am not the only one constantly inspired by and influenced by her friends. And this weird year, a lot of that inspiration and influence happened online through Instagram, texts, Zoom calls, and reading reviews on Facebook and when they have them, blogs. I decided to reach out to some of my friends…
by Debbie Ashpes I wear lipstick every day to work, but I don’t want to have to think about it. I don’t want to worry about it getting on my teeth, or wearing off in patches, or coming off after my first cup of coffee (or my third). If I can make it through lunch…
While it’s fun to read about the beauty habits of celebrities, I find it most helpful to learn about the beauty habits of women who have lifestyles, ages, or budgets similar to mine. In this series, I’ve asked amazing women I know to share their beauty routines. These are women from across the country, different…
