Instead, a hack all editors use is to scout the websites of our favourite brands before the sales even begin, identifying the pieces we’d love to own ahead of time. Then, should we find they’re discounted when the sale starts, we know we’re not spending for the sheer sake of it. So, the big question is, which are the best brands to shop on sale?

Once the colder weather settles in, there are a few key things we can always expect. Firstly, on weekdays, we’ll be rising earlier than the sun. Secondly, we’ll begin daydreaming about open fireplaces. And thirdly, we’re about to start seeing a whole lot more beige, brown, and orange tones on the rails. Whether it is because those colours mimic the hues of the changing leaves or simply play contrast to the bright colours we typically wear earlier in the year, there is something about this season that has everyone dressing in warm, cosy tones and timeless neutrals. It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that I know I turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. We’ve noticed members of the style set also getting ...
Below, I’ve assembled an edit of the best high-street knitwear I’ve come across this season. When I began my search, I was open-minded, but after spending several hours scrolling, I’ve concluded that the most impressive knitwear comes from one of three stores: & Other Stories, Arket, or Zara. From Zara’s playful take on embroidery to & Other Stories’s focus on collars, all the way to Arket’s take on polished minimalism, scroll below to see the very best knitwear from the three affordable shopping hotspots.

There’s no denying the fact that COVID has completely turned the wedding industry on its head. Plenty of nuptials have been cancelled, re-scheduled or made incredibly low-key this year due to the new rules. While we don’t know what’s ahead for 2021, we very much hope that there’ll be plenty of weddings going ahead. This also means, of course, that we’ll have an excuse to dress up. But, seeing as we haven’t done much of that of late, we need a few reminders of how to get dressed, especially for big events like a wedding. We all have to walk that fine line when it comes to deciding what to wear to a wedding: You want to look striking, somewhat fun, but still appropriate. You want to be remembered for the right reasons, even if it isn’t you...
While I talk about fashion on the regular and share snaps of what I’m wearing, travel is another big personal interest that demands most of my other attention. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with travel—a passion that I attribute in part to my Sagittarius inclinations. Even though my travel plans have been put on hold this year, there’s no denying the impact all of my past travels have had on me. Notably, the cities I’ve lived in. Over the years, I’ve spent as much time as I’ve been able to exploring new places and moving to new cities, which is why I’ve lived in NYC, Paris, and L.A. during my adult life. Each city is known for fashion in its own way, but it’s clear that there’s a distinct take on style in each place. Living in each of the cities, I picked...
Over the past week, much of the world’s shopping habits undoubtedly changed as we adjusted to life at home. It goes without saying that we’re shopping for fewer dresses and more comfortable athleisure items than ever right now. To prove this point, global fashion search engine Lyst just put together a report compiling the “stay at home” online shopping searches that have spiked as of late. Among the insights are tidbits like the interest in comfy sports clothing in the U.S., the fact that sneakers are the most in-demand shopping category, and the brands that are piquing the most interest. We were particularly intrigued that among the most-wanted items for women, the number two slot (after Oska Yasha linen trousers) was Spanx leggings. As someone who h...
The dress came in a heavyweight fabric that hung beautifully, and with a simple and chic twisted halter neckline. Dress it up with a sleek veil or headpiece and bunch of wildflowers, and you’d never know it wasn’t a designer piece. I went onto the ASOS app and realised the e-tailer had countless other designs that would satisfy even the pickiest of brides—from sequinned showstoppers to classic lace. Clearly I’m not alone in this discovery, as in their end of year report ASOS revealed that shoppers snapped up an ASOS Edition bridal dress every three minutes during lockdown, and over 14,000 brides bought the ‘Sophia’ wedding dress to wear on their big day. That’s not a number to be sniffed at. So, for any style-conscious brides-...
As 2020 draws to a close, there is much to reflect upon. In what has been the most unpredictable—and dare I say “unprecedented” year—the last 12 months did not play out in a way any of us expected. And although there have been many challenges along the way, this year has also created a few very worthy success stories, particularly when it comes to the fashion industry. From an increased focus on sustainable fashion to a heightened emphasis on supporting local independent labels, 2020 has certainly changed the way we perceive and purchase fashion. And of course, as in any year, our friends at Lyst have managed to collate all the analytics around exactly which brands people were investing in (and searching for) this year. Having released their much-anticipat...
Distinctly at odds with our voracious buying of tracksuits, puffer coats, pyjamas, track-soled boots and house dresses, the past year has also seen a sharp increase in the volume of über-luxurious designer and heritage handbags being invested in by style-conscious consumers. It was an unexpected result considering handbags have been of little-to-no use for so many people of late, but the message from high-fashion stores is that shoppers have used this time to finally take the plunge and pick up their “forever” bags. Where contemporary handbag brands had previously been flourishing thanks to their cool trend-led designs at equally cool mid-ranging price-points, 2020 has led many to really think about purchasing even more sensibly in order to secure ...
It’s a natural temptation to cave into the allure of super-long length to frame our favorite looks. The one and only hitch? The ever-so-slightly important process of actually getting that ultra-long length. For many of us, growing out our strands can seem impossible—what with annoying factors like split ends, abuse from our favorite styling tools, scalp buildup, genetics, and basically anything else that poses a vendetta against all of our long hair goals. Luckily, however, there are some effective solutions to help remedy the situation. Getting regular trims and regularly treating your hair to some hard-earned TLC goes a long way, but sometimes some extra help from hair growth–promoting products and supplements can do the trick do. We’ve heard from countless readers and f...
I used to be a jazzy-skirt-and-plain-top girl, then life on Zoom/Google Hangout/Microsoft Teams (delete as appropriate) became the norm and I realised that all of my fancy skirts and interesting trousers were, essentially, redundant. And so the roles in my wardrobe have needed to be reversed, with tops become the centre piece and my bottom half being left to luxuriate in joggers, leggings et al. Our outfits therefore come to life from the waist up, and as such designers have become more and more focused on necklines, sleeves and intricate details to make blouses, jumpers, tanks, shirts and tees become more exciting. We’ve seen a renaissance for “nice tops” to wear with jeans and more sweater trends than I could possibly shake a bamboo knitting nee...
