I’ve Been a Stylist for 10 Years—These 4 Outfits Always Look Good
When I was at university, my ever-stylish flatmate taught me that as long as you always have a good white T-shirt and perfect-fit jeans in your wardrobe or suitcase, you can’t go wrong. It really is the greatest combo, and over the years, I’ve searched for the perfect T-shirt. My original fave was by James Perse. At one point, I had four of the exact same tee. Now, my ultimate choice is from an L.A.-based brand called Pretties. Pretties originally launched its Baby Tee in the mid-’90s, and everyone who was anyone had one. From Naomi to Cindy to an iconic editorial with Drew Barrymore, these tees were extremely popular. The brand relaunched with a beautiful store in Venice Beach, and I stumbled across it recently. I haven’t looked back because Pretties’ tees ha...
Kendall Jenner Just Brought Back This “Outdated” Jeans Trend, and We’re Obsessed
If ever there was a celebrity to keep an eye on for the next big trend, it’s Kendall Jenner. Sure, some of her style choices are a little more “runway” than everyday (her trouser-free outing is a case in point), but if we look back through some of her more accessible moments, it’s undeniable that her off duty wardrobe isn’t easily matched. Along with the luxe leisurewear, slip on shoes, bomber jackets and knee-high boots, you’re more likely than not to spot Kenny in a pair of jeans, and for a day out and about in Los Angeles earlier this week, she resurrected a previously overlooked style that deserves our full attention: an ultra-high rise, pair of blue cigarette jeans. A little bit mom jean, a lot of straight-leg...
Every Fashion Person’s Favourite Black Boots are Finally Back in Stock
The shoes in question are The Mid Heel. A timeless, black boot that features an angular point toe, elongated shaft and easy mid heel. The silhouette creates the perfect balance of timeless elegance and fashion-forward finish, making them an easy addition to any wardrobe. Jeans, dresses, leggings, you name it, these boots instantly elevate any outfit. Of course, the appeal means this pair continues to sell out almost immediately. But in a rare twist of fate, all styles are available now, and our team has already clicked added to basket. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

This Cosy, Instagram-Famous Cardigan Is All I Want to Wear Right Now
We know by now that Reformation can be relied upon for many wardrobe winners. Things like beautiful dresses you can pull out summer after summer (if it’s good enough for J.Lo, it’s good enough for us), cult denim styles—and now the brand is adding knitwear to that list. In line with their sustainable ethos, Ref recently dropped a conscious cashmere collection that did not come to play. But there’s one particularly cosy piece from the winter-ready edit that has been swiftly picked up by some of the best-dressed people I know—the Fantino cardigan. Reformation’s Fantino cardigan isn’t your regular cardigan. Firstly, it’s made from 90% recycled cashmere, meaning 87% less of the carbon impact than conventional cashmere but still with “100% of the cuteness”, according to the...
3 Elevated Fashion Brands I Have on My Radar Right Now
Reformation has made it into our best picks for bridalwear, New Year outfit formulas and our classic winter staples. We work hard, and it makes our stylish little hearts soar when we find pieces that work harder. With origins as an indie vintage store, they only design and distribute small batches, making every piece feel that little bit more timeless and special than the norm. We can’t get enough of their gorgeous cashmere collection and we’re not the only ones; Celebs, influencers and street style stars continue to return to the brand for hard working wardrobe heroes that will last a lifetime. Aligne and Everlane follow the same formula of stylish but conscious staples and so our essentials edit felt a little naked without them. They’re the ones we ...
Trust Us—These 7 Wellbeing Tips Are Guaranteed Mood-Boosters
As for myself, I always find the winter months a challenge, and I’m prone to feeling low when the sun disappears by 4pm—not to mention trying to wake up on dark mornings! I find I always wake up feeling groggy around this time of the year. Last year, I took the plunge and invested in a Lumi alarm clock, and it’s totally changed the game for how I start my day. If you’re not familiar with Lumi, it’s an alarm clock that mimics a sunrise to wake you up gradually. Rather than waking up to the shrill sound of my iPhone alarm, I now wake up to the gentle glow of the light, which gradually illuminates half an hour from when you want to wake up. I’m a heavy sleeper, so I’m reassured that you can also set it to make a noise during the alarm, but more often than not, I’ll wake up before my alarm chi...
46 Blunt Bobs That Are Making Me Completely Rethink Having Long Hair
While blunt bobs are undoubtedly chic, making a drastic hair change can require a switch-up in your day-to-day styling routine. To help get to grips with the best way to look after and style a blunt bob, I asked Ryan Forsythe, international artistic director for Trevor Sorbie, for his top tips. “Blunt bobs are universal and can work on all hair types. It’s a timeless haircut that never goes out of style,” he says. Plus, it’s a super-versatile style. “If you want a bob that is low-maintenance, try air-drying using Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shiki Worker to condition and leave hair looking healthy,” he says. “For a more polished bob, I would avoid too much volume and go for a vertical wave with a mid to large curling iron for an ...
I Check Zara Every Day—30 New Pieces I Predict Will Sell Out First
A big part of my job and drive is to take all the stress out of shopping for you, and to ensure I do just that, I make a point of filing through any and every new-in section on the regular to bring you an edit of the very best pieces. Not only does this save you copious amounts of scrolling time, but it’ll also make it easy for you to identify the items you’re drawn to over and over. Honing your style is the biggest time saver, after all, and the best way to do that is to see everything that’s on offer and recognise patterns in the things you like and, more importantly, the things you don’t.

10 Holy-Grail Eye Creams I’d Recommend for Dark Circles, Puffiness, and More
But there has long been a question mark over eye creams and serums, with some saying that they aren’t worth investing in. “Many facial moisturisers are suitable to use around the under-eye area, and you do not necessarily need a separate product, contrary to popular belief. Generally speaking, if a product is suitable for the face, it should be fine to use around the eyes,” says Mahto. However, if your eye area has specific needs you want to address such as dark circles or dryness, Mahto says they shouldn’t be overlooked, as they can be extremely beneficial. “Products containing retinol or other vitamin A derivatives can help with smoothing wrinkles around the eyes by boosting collagen, as can peptides. These ingredients can also help minimise dark circles by plumping ...
Katie Holmes’s Trendy Anti-Skinny Jeans Are the Ideal Airport Jeans
We’re used to seeing photos of Katie Holmes either walking the streets of NYC in stylish outfits, or on the red carpet. But this time, she was photographed at the airport, making a post-Christmas return to the city. And as is always the case with Holmes, she was dressed in a practical outfit that was as stylish as it was wearable. As someone who prefers to wear jeans over leggings or trackies to the airport, I love seeing a celebrity travel outfit that includes jeans that are actually comfortable. The instances of celebs wearing stiff, high-waisted jeans to the airport are well-documented, but Holmes opted for a pair of loose wide-leg jeans in a light wash. Her jeans are a now-sold-out pair by Wandler but there are plenty of similar styles on the market ...
Calling It: Every Chic Item French Girls Will Wear on Repeat Next Year
If you’re anything like me, these winter months (and The White Lotus) have you dreaming of a European summer. Posting up in the Marais, washing down pistachio gelato with an ice-cold Sancerre, and hitting those legendary French soldes all sound like good enough reason to peruse Expedia. But whether or not Europe is in the cards next year, French dressing can still be within reach. The key to shopping like the French? Balancing practicality with style while leaving room for a little flair. French women have mastered the art of eschewing trends for more timeless pieces, meaning these purchases will serve you well beyond the year ahead. Read on for all the items our cross-Atlantic counterparts will be stocking their closets with. (T...
Kate Middleton Wore Puddle Pants with This ’90s Shoe Trend
This isn’t the first time that Middleton has styled puddle pants like a pro. A few months ago, she and Prince William visited volunteers at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London, during which Middleton showed her support for Ukraine by wearing a blue-and-yellow pin on a blue sweater. She also wore block-heel pumps and a pair of, yes, puddle pants trousers from Jigsaw, a Brit brand the Princess herself used to work for. It should come as no surprise that plenty of brands are getting in on the trend, and there are options at every price point. Scroll to shop some of our favourites, and get your pointed-toe, high heels ready. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.
