I’m a Shopping Specialist—These Are My 7 Go-To Brands for Chic and Cosy Knits
If there’s one item I’m living in right now, it’s unquestionably sweaters. Chic and cosy for the crisp cold-weather season, I’ve been styling mine with everything from joggers to jeans, slip skirts to pyjama bottoms—they never fail to add a comfy and cool touch to my ensembles. As fashion market editor, I certainly do my fair share of testing, trying, and buying a myriad of sweater brands—from luxury designer knits to fast-fashion finds, and smaller independent brands—I’ve come to learn a thing or two about what brands are worthy of your pocket. So if you happen to be on the hunt for a new sweater this season, below I’m sharing some of my favourite go-to brands I reach for time and time again—whether it’s for their value, quality, or beautiful silhouettes—these deserve a place in you...
12 Ways I Plan On Styling My Jeans In 2021
Despite my very best efforts, I have fallen into a rut when it comes to getting dressed for working from home. I currently alternate between two pairs of jeans, and three jumpers, but am now itching to switch things up and find some new ways to style my denim staples. I’m not talking about anything radical here, as I’ll still be sat in my living room—but little styling tweaks that might help me fall in love with my jeans again. Below I’ve found 12 styling ideas that I plan on copying (again and again) in 2021, and many revolve around basics like breton tees, polo tops, Oxford shirts and knitted vests. Earlier this month my colleague Elinor wrote about the key new denim trends for 2021, speaking to denim experts from both 7 For All Mankind and & Other Stories. Much l...
These 14 Beauty Gadgets Actually Make Your Skin Glow
At some point in the past few years, skincare got very technical. Arguably, it started with Clarisonic’s innovative cleaning brush just over a decade ago in 2009, but even then, it was only diehard beauty fans who invested. Today, while we might all be up on our vitamin C and hyaluronic acids, when it comes to gadgets, we’re not all there. At the beginning of 2020, however, the Business of Fashion reported that plenty of huge beauty brands were getting in on the tech scene. Then, the pandemic hit, and while in recessions lipstick sales notoriously go up, this time it was skincare that had the boost, not makeup, which provided a perfect storm for people to invest in skincare gadgets. According to CurrentBody, an online beauty retailer for skincare products, gadgets are one of th...
If You’re Thinking of Investing in a Watch, We Recommend You Make It This One

15 Gifts From Our Editors’ Christmas Shopping Lists
Emma wears Coach Leather Coat (£1400) and Beat Bag (£550) The lead-up to Christmas is going to be hugely different this year—instead of a stream of work parties, friend reunions and trips to Winter Wonderland, most of us are just thinking about the people we really want to be able to see and spoil with love on Christmas Day. Coach has centred its entire Christmas campaign around this sentiment, with Jennifer Lopez and Michael B Jordan inviting us into their homes, for a glimpse of what a family Christmas looks like to them. You might expect JLO to spend December in sequins, sequins and more sequins on a fabulous private beach somewhere, however in these images we see Jennifer in a more relaxed setting, in her back garden with her mother Guadalupe, and children, Emme and Max, while wearing...
These Loafers Are the Most Sought-After Item Right Now
The iconic Prada triangle logo is an image known the world over. From saffiano leather totes to mini nylon cross-body bags, brand’s emblem is an instantly-recognisable symbol of designer luxury. In recent years, the triangle logo moved beyond simply handbags and is now appearing across clothing, hair accessories and hats. This season, it also features prominently across the label’s footwear collection, with Prada’s new logo branded loafers gaining an almost cult status among the fashion set. Created in both black patent leather as well as more pared-back tones, Prada’s loafers have captured the attention of Pernille Teisbeak, Gosia Boy and more, even appearing on the feet of a few Paris Fashion Week attendees in October. Although loafers are quite a timeless classi...

19 Logo Belts to Buy Now and Wear for Many Seasons to Come
It’s not an exaggeration to say that, thanks to the Gucci GG Belt, the logo belt has become one of the most ubiquitous accessories on social media, so much so that Lyst announced this iconic piece had topped its list of the world’s hottest fashion products during the last quarter of 2019. Unsurprisingly, over the last few years, more and more brands have been bringing out their own logoed iterations, and we’re pretty sure you’ll love them just as much as the iconic double Gs. Until recently, I was quite ambivalent about the logo belt (they have historically had slight “look at me—I’m designer!” vibes), but I’ve noticed more and more stylish individuals embracing the look in a more low-key way. For example, some choose to bring out the retro undert...
