It’s rare to find an article of clothing that looks good on almost anyone, but this jumpsuit comes pretty close. So much so, in fact, that if you were to peek into Wirecutter’s office on any given day, you’d probably find at least one of our journalists decked out in this chic number.

Why, you ask, has this sisterhood-of-the-traveling-jumpsuit gone sort of viral among us? The thick cotton denim is flattering and has elastic in the back to cinch your waist. A long zipper extends along the entire front, making it pretty easy to slip in and out of (crucial for anyone who’s ever tried to go to the bathroom in a jumpsuit). Six convenient pockets can store phones, credit cards, and keys. And, like all good denim, it fits snugly at first but relaxes and expands with wear for a custom-to-your-body fit.

Wirecutter’s home improvement expert and senior staff writer Doug Mahoney says fireproofing your home requires a few essentials: smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher, a fire escape ladder, and, most importantly: a plan. Namely, a plan for where you’ll meet outside—and who will manage young children—if there’s a fire.

Doug shared his fire preparedness must-haves and best practices this week on The Wirecutter Show. Also: the new standards for smoke alarms, how many you’ll need, and where in the house to place them. (Spoiler: Yes, you should have one in almost every room.)

A black crescent-shaped shoulder bag is the current most sought-after way to fashionably schlep from one place to the next. But the ever-popular Baggu Small Nylon Crescent Bag isn’t the only one of its kind. Uniqlo’s version has earned a following in its own right and looks starkly similar—for half the price.
