There’s no doubt that leggings have been quite the wardrobe saviour over the past year. Along with joggers, these trousers with stretchy waistbands have allowed us to work from home in as much comfort as possible. But with news of lockdown restrictions easing soon, you, like me, might be feeling a little apprehensive about giving […]
One of my favourite pastimes on an average grey Monday (or Wednesday or Friday) afternoon has to be scrolling through NET-A-PORTER‘s new-in section and mentally compiling my dream outfits. Judge me if you will, but really it’s part of my job description to be on top of these things. Let’s just call it research—I do […]
Disclaimer: I rarely wear mascara. On a night out (remember those?), I’ll slap it on, but as a serial “face toucher” (something I got seriously told off about when a skin expert came to give our routines an overhaul), wearing mascara on the daily is just a recipe for panda eyes. On a normal day, […]
How we spot emerging trends has changed over the last year. Before lockdown, we simply had to take a look around us as we walked the streets of the capital to see what the city’s most stylish dwellers were wearing. Now, with many of said women working from home, we’ve had to concentrate our trend-spotting […]
There’s been a lot of talk about the ‘end’ of skinny jeans recently. The conversation has predominantly been led by Gen Zs on TikTok, who have deemed the much-loved item ‘officially over’ (and apparently an instant indication of one’s age). And while we hate to jump on the bandwagon there does seem to be a lot […]
Wedding ceremonies have been on hold for the last 12 months, so if you’re anything like us, invitations will be stacking up for the second-half of 2021—all we can say is, roll on June 21st. And of course, being fashion editors, we can’t help but plan our outfits way ahead of time, and thankfully there’s plenty to choose from this season, whether […]
How to find the best pieces on the high street? Go to the source. We have a direct line to insiders from our favourite affordable brands, so it makes sense that we’d tap them first before entering a new season—especially during a time when our editors don’t have their usual chance to peruse the spring collections […]
Like many Millennials, I spent a fair chunk of my teens clad in cropped tops and jackets: From the crew-neck tees and bleached denim of the ‘90s to the long-sleeved iterations of the mid-noughties, it really was the silhouette du jour. My feelings towards the trend have somewhat cooled over the last decade, partly due to […]
If you’ve read any of our recent reports on the growth of vintage fashion, you’ll know that old school has never looked cooler. Whether it’s a sign of people craving escapism and nostalgia during lockdown, or simply a by-product of SS21‘s celebration of all things retro, it’s a trend that shows no sign of slowing down. Unsurprisingly, this shopping […]
It might only be February but there’s one skincare trend that’s already emerging as the leader of the pack for 2021: personalisation. For this year’s skincare report I was lucky enough to talk to a whole host of skin experts, dermatologists and brand founders and it was the one theme that came up time and time again. Just like […]
