Remember Skirts? These 6 Styles Are Going to Rule Spring
As someone who, prior to lockdown, only owned a couple of pairs of jeans and gym leggings, it’s hard to believe that the aforementioned items, along with the joggers I purchased last April, have become the most-worn items in my wardrobe. I used to live in dresses and skirts, and without meaning to sound overdramatic, I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity having not worn them for so long. Now, however, with temperatures slowly starting to climb and the days becoming brighter and longer with each passing week, I’m seeing this as my opportunity to break myself out of my style rut and slip into something fresh. So why not make for a spring/summer 2021 hero skirt? Frocks might have reigned supreme in recent years, but it seems as if skirts are g...
This Is My Third Mother’s Day—These Are the 32 Presents I’d Actually Like
I’ll admit that previously I’ve been a little puritanical about the kind of Mother’s Day gifts I’m open to receiving. “They must be practical!” I’d tell my husband, as if by the very fact that I’ve birthed a human, I no longer deserved “fun” or “silly” items that had no sensible purpose. In a turn that will surprise absolutely no one who has lived through the past year (so, quite literally, the whole world), I’m craving frivolousness.

Royal Style Doesn’t Get Better Than Princess Anne’s
What do Princess Diana‘s polka dots, the Queen‘s matching suit sets, Kate Middleton‘s coats and everything Meghan Markle wears have in common? We’re constantly on the lookout for more, more, more. However, there is one member of the royal family who deserves a closer look: Princess Anne. In the shadow of her mum, Queen Elizabeth II, you might not have noticed Princess Anne has been low-key defying our ideas of royal style for decades. From her big-hat obsession (who knew?) and endless stream of Pucci prints and matching accessories to her visor sunglasses and tweeds, Princess Anne has consistently thrown style curveballs over the years and needs be celebrated. Keep scrolling to see some of Princess Anne’s most iconic outfits, most of which are served with...

Award Season is officially in full swing! Last weekend kicked things off with the Golden Globes, and tonight sees Hollywood’s biggest names bring their style A-game at the 26th annual Critics’ Choice Awards honoring the finest achievements in 2020 filmmaking and television.

The Final Installment of Richie Hawtin’s Prada Runway Music Has Arrived
High fashion houses have been calling on dance music producers to spin at their runway shows for years, such as Daft Punk for Louis Vuitton and Justice for Dior Homme. Minimalist techno pioneer Richie Hawtin is no stranger to this trend, first crafting lengthy mixes for Calvin Klein in 2017. He has now released “Inxtro,” the last installment of four tracks specially composed for Prada‘s 2021 shows. The mixes, released under Hawtin’s Plastikman alias, were commissioned by co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the latter of whom tapped Hawtin while he was still with Calvin Klein. “Inxtro” was created for the Fall / Winter 2021 Womenswear collection. The show debuted at Milan Fashion Week on February 25th, 2021. “[It] evolves t...
I’m 99.9% Confident This Will Still Be the Official Fashion Uniform in 2021
As a fashion editor, I spend the better part of my day researching trends both digitally and IRL at various fashion appointments and on the street when various style-setters pass me by. When it comes to outfit trends specifically, there’s one prominent look I’ve continued to spot throughout all of my sartorial explorations over the last few months: Okay, you may already know it (given that we’ve covered it in various ways before), but here it goes: a slouchy blazer, basic top, and blue jeans. That’s right—it seems celebrity and fashion people all got the memo this season that this simple yet polished outfit formula is the only look that matters when you need a directional and cool ensemble that doesn’t try too hard. And while A-listers like Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski (a...
The Affordable Accessory That Will Make Any Outfit Look 10x Chicer
Sometimes it’s the small things that can make an outfit sing, be it a fabric trim, intricate collar or unusual graphic heel. Neckerchiefs are one such accessory that fall into the ‘less is more’ category, and I have long been a fan on their archival appeal: From the Wild West undertones of a red paisley print to the rock n’ roll flair of a knotted skinny scarf.

These 10 Spring Microtrends Are Going to Be the Next Big Thing
Somebody stop me! When it comes to hunting down trends, it’s the little, quiet ones bubbling up underneath the surface that really pique my interest, and once I start looking, I find it hard to move onto the next task. The big trends are plain to see right now (puffer coats, all beige, and knitted vests are strong), and they’ll undoubtedly rumble on throughout 2021. Maybe they’ll even go further because that’s how slowly these things develop nowadays. Gone are the times when season upon season required an all-change klaxon and for closets to be pillaged and restocked lest you risk looking outdated. It’s undeniably good and important that our wardrobes are not a revolving door of newness and are more a beautifully tended ...
I’m a Modest Dresser—6 Crucial Wardrobe Essentials I Rely on Come Spring
As a modest dresser, I live for the colder weather, as it calls for a whole lot of layering. I can comfortably wear a sweater, blazer, jacket, and boots in bliss without looking like Joey Tribbiani from that one Friends episode (you know the one). When spring starts to approach, layering is still possible, but the weather for the most part brings warmer temperatures, so there are a few essentials I rely on to keep me both covered and comfortable. While I won’t be layering heavy knits, most of my essentials consist of lightweight materials that can easily be worn together or separate. If you’re also a modest dresser or are just looking for some ways to incorporate modest style into your spring wardrobe this year, then keep scrolling for my six go-to pieces. ...
The Cult Serum That Rosie HW, Laura Harrier and Kim KW Swear By
What is Shani Darden Texture Reform? A sensitive skin-friendly serum that’s formulated with gentle retinol and lactic acid to even skin tone, minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth the complexion and brighten. How do you use it? In the evening, after cleansing, smooth 1-2 pumps over dry skin then follow with a light moisturiser if you wish.
