The Autumn Trend That Is Guaranteed to Put a Smile on Your Face
No item of clothing is immune to fringing’s quirky appeal, and this season, we’ve seen the trend crop up on everything from knitwear and jackets to boots and dresses. It’s a sure-fire way to put a smile on your face when the nights draw in and the mercury plummets. I bought a fringed jacket from H&M last year, and it’s been my go-to for adding interest to jeans and a white tee throughout spring/summer and right into autumn/winter, and I’m sure I’ll wear it for many seasons to come. Fringed knitwear is another iteration that has caught my eye, and I’m all over Stella McCartney’s fringed grey roll neck, which would look unbelievably chic with slouchy tailored trousers and loafers. I also recommend & Other Stories‘ unusu...
5 Jacket Outfit Ideas That Will See You Through the Next Few Months
There’s a certain sweet spot throughout the month of October when a jacket becomes your ultimate outfit companion. It’s the few weeks when a jumper isn’t quite enough but you dread the idea of putting on a coat (knowing full well you’ll be living in those for the foreseeable future). Whether it be a trusty shacket which covers you for casual days or a leather blazer which can be relied on for weekend outings, jackets are the trans-seasonal staple that will become a priority throughout this autumnal in-between time. And if the current weather is anything to go by, it’s the essential you’ll be reaching for most over the next few weeks. Evidently, I have recently spotted a number of stylish outfits in which an autumnal jacket has become...
Gwyneth Wore This Item Almost Every Day in the ’90s—Now It’s Back
I may have been born at the tail end of the ’80s, but I still consider myself to be a ’90s child. I wore floral leggings with oversize T-shirts, tied my hair with a rainbow of scrunchies, and donned my light-up trainers with pride. Of course, perhaps with the exception of the scrunchie, I would never wear such items now, but it seems there are a plethora of cool ’90s trends I missed out on because of my age. And the most notable has to be the leather blazer. Practically the uniform of the ’90s A-list elite—think Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford—the leather blazer was easily the coolest cover-up of the decade. Most commonly worn with slip dresses, vintage denim or a pair of tiny rectangle sunglasses, it now appears the throw-on is making a comebac...
I Just Tried All of the Face Masks Around–These Are the 23 That I Rate
I feel like face masks need a new PR. Sure, they’re having a bit of a moment right now, because what else is there to do? But, all too often they get put into the fun but frivolous category of skincare, along with cooling eye masks and scented body mists. We tend to focus both our energy and spending power on heavy-hitters like active-packed serums and decadent night creams. So, consider this the beginning of my campaign for treating face masks with a little more respect. First of all, we’re talking 20 minutes for results here. Not weeks and weeks of testing and trying. Sure, the results aren’t as long-lasting as an entire suite of skincare, but adding a powerful mask into your routine has plenty of benefits. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ...
All the Chunky Boots and Loafers We Are Obsessed With Right Now
When it comes to footwear this year, the general rule is the chunkier, the better. In summer, many of us lived in Teva sandals and chunky two-strap sandals, and for winter, our soles are about to get even thicker. Last year, track-sole boots were the coolest things to have on your feet, thanks to designers like Bottega Veneta and The Row, who gave the Chelsea boot a tougher makeover with thick, sturdy soles. These stomping boots are destined to be even more popular this year, as designers like Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Dior have continued to iterate on these practical chunky boots, and they have also been the dominant footwear trend across contemporary and high-street brands this autumn/winter. There are still dozens of chunky ankle boots and Chelsea boot sty...
Free People’s New Drop Has Everything We Want to Be Wearing for Autumn
As the weather really starts to turn chilly, we can’t help but quite enjoy it. If only for the reason that we can finally start cracking out our autumn clothes without sweltering. All we’re craving right now is cosiness, in our lives (hello open fires and GBBO) but also our wardrobes. It’s a good thing, then, that Free People’s new autumn collection has just dropped. Although the brand has long been known for nailing summer beach-casual style, we’ve recently come to fall fast and hard for its loungewear sets (are you even an influencer if you don’t own one these days?), anything-but-boring knitwear and great jackets. This new ‘Collective Spirit’ collection is no different, offering plenty of this cosiness as well as ticking off many of our favourite autumn 2020 trends at the same tim...
I Have a Hunch This Will Be the Most Popular Dress Trend This Winter
One thing that most of us are prioritising when it comes to clothes in 2020 is comfort. No one knows what exactly winter has in store for us, but I have a hunch that knitted dresses are going to be the leading dress trend—particularly as many offices continue to extend working from home orders until the end of the year. Parisian designer Jacquemus made jumper dresses popular several years ago with its roll-neck maxis with thigh-high slits, and this season, formfitting knitted dresses are more popular than ever. “The second most prevalent trend for autumn/winter 2020 was the focus on the female form, which saw the return of the bodycon dress,” Elizabeth von der Goltz, global buying director at Net-a-Porter told Who What Wear. “However, today’...
5 Autumn Trends That Are Flooding the Streets of Paris
While fashion week may have looked a little different this year, that didn’t stop Paris showgoers from putting on their best in order to attend socially distanced presentations. As the last city on the biannual fashion week circuit, Paris is home to many of the month’s most-anticipated runway shows (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Chloé included). Of course, designer runways often result in street style looks also filled with the same coveted brands. And although the crowds were indeed smaller than previous years, the fashion was no less showstopping, as editors and influencers alike turned out to impress. Evidently in Paris, many are embracing the autumn trends we have talked so much about already this season. From chunky mid-calf boots to leath...

Divisive as it is, nothing says Halloween quite like candy corn.

This Product Range Promises to Help With Hair-Fall, and We’re Sold
It’s likely that most of us have complained about our hair falling out at one time or another. Whether it’s coming out in surprising clumps when washing or you’re simply seeing more on your brush than usual, hair breakage and subsequent fall is not uncommon at all. In fact, seven out of 10 of us will experience it at some point in our life. It’s also become one of the leading concerns among us, particularly millennials, above the usual suspects of dryness or damage. Luckily, one of our favourite haircare brands, Kérastase, has an established range of products within its Genesis collection dedicated to preventing the causes and solving the issue of hair fall and to be honest, we’re sold (plus, if Emily Ratajkowski is a fan, it must be good). It may come and go, but there’s ...
I’ve Worn Flares for Years—Here’s How to Wear Them in 2020
Admittedly, my trusty flares haven’t had much airtime over the last few months. The one downside to the style is that they’re not so good for super low-key looks. But the moment I get the chance, I’ll be throwing them on with my favourite heeled boots and blouse. Elegant yet personality packed, it’s a denim style that never fails to make me feel polished, even if I’m just wearing a white tee and blazer. The great thing about denim is that you can mould it to your own personal taste and wardrobe requirements. However, if you’re looking for a few styling cues to keep your flares feeling fresh, I’ve put together an edit of autumn outfits to spark inspiration. From Slip Into Style’s classic check blazer and fla...
