33 New Pieces from COS, Mango and Arket That Will Transform Your Winter Wardrobe
When it comes to shopping on the high street, there are a few shops that we consistently rely on as they always deliver solid investment buys at reasonable price points. Whenever we’re in need of premium-looking pieces at a moment’s notice, COS, Mango and ARKET have become our go-tos, especially for the kind of wardrobe staples that continue to look good year-round, and the holy trifecta of the high street are gearing up for a very stylish season ahead. As the standard of affordable offerings continues to get better and better, COS, Mango and ARKET lead the way with exclusive collections and a lot of instant successes, and this year has been no exception. Although our wardrobes are already filled with COS’ luxury basics, it wa...
5 Spring-Ready Colours You Can Start Wearing Now
As someone who has limited their palette to that of neutrals for the past few years, my New Year’s style resolution is to broaden my colour horizons for 2023. I told this to my colleagues who, by now, are very familiar with my penchant for all-things beige and brown and, elated, they asked me which colours I’m keen to explore. To this, I didn’t have an answer. Of course, I know what colours are “in”—scrolling Instagram is a legitimate part of my job, so I’m always aware of what’s currently trending—but in terms of guessing the fashion colour trends that would dominate 2023, I’d be doing just that—guessing. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with ...
Celebs, Fashion People and TikTok All Agree—This Controversial Shoe is Back
It started with a few Gen-Z-inspired celebs wandering into 2000s territory when experimenting with their style—Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber for instance. But fast forward over a year, and the boots are near impossible to get hold of. And it’s not just the classic calf boots millennials will be familiar with from the first time around. There’s the embroidered Tasman slippers, the ultra mini boot, zip-fronts and platform iterations now, too—all with a cult following to be taken seriously. Influencers, street style stars and major a-list celebrities are now wearing theirs daily now that the cold weather has set in. Not to mention the TikTokers all over my FYP. One thing’s for sure, there’s no lack of UGG boot outfit inspiration, just in case you were still on the fence, a...
These 74 Simple Outfits Make for Satisfying Scrolling
Over the last couple of years, it’s safe to say my style has been built solely on comfort. Working from home more often has meant leaving the house less, even after the lockdowns were lifted. Living in Scotland and being the sort of person who feels the chill in even the slightest of breezes means that when I do venture out, I often have to wrap up and make practicality a priority. Aside from the odd dress or skirt-and-jumper combination, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in joggers—and not fancy ones at that. Comfortable they may be, but wearing them day in and day out made me feel as if I’d lost my sense of style. While I’ve grown fond of them and will probably still turn to them on particularly chilly d...
The 3-Question Method to Figure Out If Something Is Timeless or Trendy
TikTok has opened up a fresh space to discuss a range of topics in new ways—among them is fashion. Creators are touching on fashion in a range of ways, but stylist and TikTok “fashion teacher” Allison Bornstein‘s conversations about style and shopping have especially resonated. Earlier this year, we spoke with Bornstein about her “three-word method” to find your personal style (an approach that boils down to finding three words that describe your current style and the style that you aspire to have) as it went TikTok viral. Now, the stylist has a new method that’s gaining attention on TikTok that dissects pieces to figure out if they’re trendy or timeless. Her “three-question method” involves aski...
It’s a Sign—Reformation’s Best Pieces Now Have 70% Off
The only thing is, I wouldn’t exactly call Ref affordable, and while it’s not in the unattainable realms of luxury brands like The Row, the prices can sometimes creep up into expensive territory. This, of course, can be a totally understandable side effect of more sustainable processes, but the Reformation sale is my hack for being able to invest in their amazing, responsible clothing with more reasonable price tags. This winter’s Reformation sale is particularly good, with some of the brand’s most popular items included, now with up to 70% off(!) I can vouch for the Cynthia jeans (the perfect straight leg style) and the Mason pants (the perfect wide-leg trousers) from experience, but there are also plent...
These 29 Brunette Bob Hairstyles Are Persuading Me to Cut My Hair
Every few months, I get this strong urge to cut my hair and get a bob. I had a 1950s-inspired bouncy bob once, and let me tell you, it changed my life. And recently, I’ve been spending much of my time in a never-ending daydream of reminiscing and searching for brunette bob hairstyles. What I adore about the brunette bob haircut is how understated it is while still looking like a simple haircut. Don’t get me wrong, it still requires plenty of skill from the hairstylist to make it look so effortless, but it’s generally a manageable style, making it a great low maintenance haircut. And there are so many variations of the bob hairstyle to try. A cropped, blunt bob looks totally stylish, as does a bob with a fringe. But equally, if you want to keep the length of your hair...
Experts Agree, These Skincare Trends Will Be Huge in 2023
Triggered by stress, anxiety, and the over-use of active ingredients like exfoliating acids, sensitive skin is on the rise, and as a result, products for sensitive skin are on the rise too. “Many people experimented with DIY skincare during the pandemic, so between choosing the wrong products for their skin, introducing too many products at once, and using DIY skincare, it’s unsurprising that there is now a huge trend for skincare for sensitive skin,” says Heather Wish, education specialist at Paula’s Choice. “In addition, two other factors that can bring sensitivity to skin are stress and pollution, so with the rise of all of these factors, it’s no wonder people are looking towards skincare made for sensitive skin.” We’ve all been there—a few too many products layered or an overenthusiast...

29 Impressive High-Street Puffer Coats That Are Perfect for Winter
Puffer coats have long been considered practical. But stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion-insider must-have. Arguably, it was 2020 when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak. Socialising outdoors was considered the norm, and the likes of Bottega Veneta and Totême created very special puffer coats, the majority of which swiftly made their way to the top of many an editor’s and influencer’s wish list. Since then, the duvet coat became essential for many of us—and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. In February, according to global fashion search platform Lyst, searches for “duvet coat” rose quickl...

We Asked the Experts—These Are the Defining Interior Trends of 2023
I’ve sought insight from a handful of experts to find out the interior trends for 2023 that really matter. Although each hails from different remits of the world of interiors, they share an overall outlook and consensus. “I think that much of the design trends for 2023 will be based on longevity and function, focussed less on ‘what’s in’ and more on ‘what’s right for my family and my home, with lots of people looking to nature, the environmental impact of design, and the mood and atmosphere their decisions create,” says interior designer and expert Toby Perryman-Payne. The trends highlighted undoubtedly have staying power; our desire to host with pride after being denied the opportunity to do so over the past few years co...
