How To Take Last Year’s Biggest Trends into 2021
Whenever I invest in a seasonal trend, I do my best to ensure it aligns with my personal style. But sometimes, I don’t think twice before I find myself wearing some things obviously influenced by scrolling Instagram. It happens, and most of the time I feel great (I’m still as in love with my pearl Shrimps bag as the day I bought it). But sometimes I buy into a trend and I am unsure how to keep it feeling as fresh and exciting as it felt on the day one. That is a skill I have acquired over time. Because, no matter which trend you’ve found yourself drawn to this year—be it chunky boots or an it colour, statement knits, a cult bag or anything by Ganni—you’ve likely worn it to death are looking for fresh ways to restyle your outfits. Keep scrol...

I Just Worked Out the 16 Pieces That Are the Key to Stacey Dooley’s Style
She might be known for her dance moves, but it’s Stacey Dooley’s wardrobe that’s kept us transfixed since she was thrust into the Strictly Come Dancing spotlight. We’ve fallen for her minimalist approach to fashion, which sees plenty of expensive-looking camel tones alongside utilitarian denim, classic monochrome and a good dose of chunky gold jewellery. A recent outfit pretty much summed up everything we love about her style: She threw a black oversized knit over blue jeans and accessorized with a pair of black Gucci loafers. The look was seemingly simple yet so chic. It’s clear that she knows what works for her and sticks to that formula (aka she’s got her capsule wardrobe down to a T).

The Over-40 Women We Follow Religiously on Instagram
It goes without saying that the quest for great style doesn’t end when you move into your 40s. Mature fashion influencers, in general, tend to know their style inside-out. They’re not wearing something because it’s now suddenly in; they’re wearing it because it suits them and fits in with their own style and wardrobes. This means one all-important thing that we can learn from: The clothes never wear them. All over Instagram, the over-40 fashion bloggers listed below are making their mark. Sure, you’ll find them in much of our content, but we thought it was high time to spotlight some of our favourite dressers. Not only do they have the most stylish closets going, but they’ve also taught us a thing or two about how to really put t...
9 Fashion Designers That Everyone Will Be Talking About at London Fashion Week 2021
London Fashion Week is officially starting its new chapter this February. Instead of forecasting what we will be wearing in autumn and winter 2021, the British Fashion Council will use LFW February to give us some style inspiration for the spring and summer months that we’re all chuffed about. Taking place from Friday, 19 Feb. to Tuesday, 23 Feb., London Fashion Week February 2021 will feature both womenswear and menswear collections for a genderless (and soon to be seasonless) appreciation of innovative clothing design. Fashion shows, short films, and some exclusive chats with industry leaders will be accessible to everyone with an internet connection through the London Fashion Week digital platform — with a few physical activations being hosted in and around London. See the full li...
I Avoid Shopping on the High Street—Here’s Where I Buy Affordable Clothes
Since breaking up with fast fashion a couple of years ago, I haven’t really looked back. Aside from underwear (I’m working on that part), I pretty much avoid the high street entirely. I really thought I would miss it and, other than the odd temptation from Uniqlo U, it’s been much easier than I thought. The thing I was worried about the most was finding affordable alternatives for my more sustainable lifestyle. Because for years and years, the narrative around fast fashion has been that it is the democratic and more affordable choice. But when I stopped to think about the number of times I’ve had to re-buy something because it had fallen apart, versus the pieces I had bought vintage or saved up for, it didn’t actually feel like I was saving that...
Somehow, Zara, Arket, and H&M’s Interiors Sections Are Even Better in 2021
H&M continues to champion the neutral palette that worked so well for it last year, only this time around the brand has become more experimental with textures. Rattan, marble, velvet, and cotton come together to create a pared-back but cosy ambience in any room. Then there’s Arket, which is serving up its own take on the eclectic interior movement, the minimal Scandi way. You’ll find ceramic plant pots in happy colours, adorable cutlery to make every mealtime special, and a blanket so popular, we see it in the homes of just about every influencer we follow. And finally, while the mid-century vibe is still evident at Zara, the brand is also taking the rustic interiors approach this season, with oversized jugs that double up as vases, rustic stools, and gingham fabrics coveri...

These Are The 2021 Trends I’m Trying Secondhand
Like most fashion lovers, come fashion week, I love pouring over the runway images and finding major and micro trends, patterns, and general sartorial themes. For SS21 though, this felt like an especially strange task considering the fact that designers were working during lockdowns, in isolation, and many chose to not show at all or lived streamed their collections to the world through our screens. And yet… there are still trends! Despite everything, designers—like Molly Goddard’s fun-filled collection—found a way to create universes for us to imagine our future-selves getting dressed. So with the spirit of getting dressed again in mind, I will continue to do what I love to do: discover which trends I love and where to try them out secondhand. This is also a favourite ha...
The 6 Expensive-Looking Colour Combinations You Have to Try
There’s no denying that we love tonal ensembles and that they always look expensive, but that doesn’t mean that more adventurous colours can’t look equally as premium. The tricky part is knowing hues work together and which just don’t. Discovering these Holy Grail colour combinations takes time and lots of trial and error but, if you see it through, you’ll reap the sartorial rewards. Styling different (even unexpected) colours together is the ideal, cost-free way of giving your wardrobe a refresh ahead of the new season. However, should you find yourself too time-poor to do the leg work, fret not, for Instagram’s most iconic dressers have done it all for you. Stepping away from the beige-and-cream palette that largely dominated our wardrobes last y...
These 5 Influencers Always Repeat Their Outfits, and That’s Why We Love Them
It’s hard to remember a time when everything you mused, liked and—let’s face it—ate, wasn’t documented on social media. And the effects have certainly been felt where our wardrobes are concerned. For many, posing for an outfit photograph has become part of their daily routines. Some have carved impressive careers from doing so, but at what cost? As it turns out, a financial one. Our obsession with showcasing our clothes has developed into a culture of excess, where many would choose buy new than be seen in the same dress for a second or third time. Don’t take our word for it—just look at the facts. Carrying out a study in 18,000 households across 20 countries, Movinga asked participants to estimate the percentage of unworn clothes they have in their wardrobes. On av...
