Almost Three Years Later, We’re Still Obsessed By Chanel Logo Tights
In early March 2020, Chanel hosted its autumn 2020 runway show. Pairs of models stormed the runway in knee-high boots, strutting in unison while dressed in shades of tweed with bows in their hair. And while Chanel runways are always much-talked-about events, this season, in particular, one accessory seemed to steal the show. The brand debuted a range of logo-embellished CC tights, which the majority of models were wearing on the day, either in a white or black colourway. And as if by some kind of fashion-editor intuition, the moment I saw them I just knew they would become a cult favourite. Unsurprisingly, for over two years, the item remains in high demand, appearing on the Instagram feeds of several high-profile influencers, including Emili Sindlev, Pernill...
I Just Found 5 Chic Ways to Wear a Cardigan Like a French Woman
By now we now the drill, if you’re looking for elegant, understated and easy-to-wear outfit inspiration, French style is hard to beat. Somehow the average Parisian manages to take the items we’ve long had in our wardrobes (the Breton top, the straight-legged jean and the blazer for example), and make it feel entirely new by adding a little je ne sais quoi. Knitwear is no exception, and while it isn’t quite cold enough for a chunky turtleneck, one item we’re wearing on repeat is the cardigan. Thanks to the likes of Katie Holmes and Zoë Kravitz, the cardigan is cool again, and French women are ahead of the curve when it comes to making wool knits feel couture, so where better to start looking for autumn outfit inspiration than the French. You Des...
It’s True—Our Editors Are Skipping These 7 Autumn Trends
While no fashion editor can be completely unbiased—try as we may, our own tastes will always be prevalent—we spend much of our careers honing the ability to present all the trends, even the ones we wouldn’t wear ourselves, without personal prejudice. However, I thought it would make for an interesting read to allow my colleagues to talk unfiltered about loving this season and which they feel, for lack of a better word, are becoming a little “dated”. It’s worth noting, however, that the word “dated” holds slightly less influence in fashion circles than it does out with. A big part of our jobs is unearthing new trends, so the idea of something being “new” is always fleeting. So even though it mightn’t feel as fresh to us as it once d...
No Doubt About It—M&S Has the Best Coats, Boots and Jumpers for Autumn
Whenever I find myself lacking in cosy knits or a realise I could do with investing in a particular boot style, Marks & Spencer is the first place I turn. With consistent sizing (something that’s becoming infuriatingly unreliable on the high street) and a level of quality that, more often than not, surpasses its price-tags, I’ll always advocate for an M&S purchase. And right now, M&S’s coat, boot and jumper offerings are so impressive, it only seems right to share them with you and to give the brand its dues. Keep scrolling to see the best Marks & Spencer boots, jumpers and coats this discerning fashion editor thinks are worth your time.

These H&M Jumpers Are Raking In the Five-Star Reviews
Few high street brands have a hold on us like H&M. Season after season, year after year, the Scandinavian giant continues to impress us with their offering of elevated, good quality, yet affordable hits that become firm favourites in our wardrobes. This autumn, this statement rings particularly true thanks to its sensationally good knitwear offering. Frequently racking up 5 star customer reviews, and with a huge variety of styles, fabrications and colours, H&M’s knitwear selection is, without a doubt, one of the best on the high street. And the cherry on top of it’s cosy cake this year is its best-selling oversized polo neck, a jumper I just so happen to own and very much love. As a summer dress obsessive (and a June baby), my friends, family and colleagues have had...

This Zara-Owned Brand Has Gone—Here’s Where We’re Shopping Instead
Uterqüe was a radical proposition when it launched back in 2008. Inditex, which owns Zara, created the sister brand and launched it as a more premium option in the retail family, with quirkier designs and luxe fabrics. It was, in many ways, ahead of its time. Before other high street stores elevated their offering with spin-off lines full of more directional and expensive pieces, Uterqüe provided a unique proposition that still required an investment but sat comfortably below designer price-tags. It became a personal favourite of mine for both clothing and footwear: I still wear multiple pairs of shoes, a red leather jacket, a cream ’70s-inspired jumpsuit and a pair of navy trousers to this date. These items have latest better than many of my other affordable...
Dermatologists Say These Eye Creams Are The Only Ones That Really Work
Due to the fact the skin around the eye area is lacking in natural oils and is comparatively thinner to the skin in other areas of the face, it also tends to be one of the first places to show signs of premature skin ageing. While it’s typically advised you keep any strong active ingredients away from the delicate eye area, specially formulated eye treatments that contain retinol could help reduce the appearance of fine lines. However, experts warn it’s important to remember the limitations of the retinol in our skincare products. “Retinoic acid is the only topical treatment which is evidence-proven to reduce photoaging and fine lines. It may cause local irritation initially so consider applying it a few nights a week to begin with,” says Leeman. However, ...
Katie Holmes’s Dress-and-Boots Combo Is First on My List to Copy This Autumn
Of all the autumn trends that debuted on the runways in February, the one that undoubtably stood out the most was maxi lengths, which swept (pun intended) the competition after a spring practically dedicated to shrinking hemlines. And now that autumn has arrived, we can say with assurance that the trend is all it was cracked up to be and then some. Just ask Katie Holmes, who wore a simple yet wildly chic maxi-length black dress by Khaite to a Bulgari event this week, paired with the boot trend of the season: sleek knee-highs. As is true of a majority of Holmes’s ensembles, this one was nothing if not effortless and cool, which the actress said in our Luxury Issue is always her goal when she’s putting together an outfit. (S...
French Girls All Agree, This Timeless Piece Is a Non Negotiable
From what I can see via social media, French girls are not wearing puffer coats, or even leather jackets. Apparently. when the temperatures drop they all reach for one thing–a tweed jacket. Cropped or longline, boxy or fitted blazer, the tweed jacket has been a staple in French wardrobes since it’s introduction by Coco Chanel, and some 100 years later, it’s still considered a must-have. Although the original look might have included a demure co-ordinating midi skirt and a string of pearls, today’s influencers are bringing the look up-to-date with straight-legged jeans and great accessories, trés chic, non? And it might be the easiest way to update the blazer + tee + loafer uniform we lived in all summer. So, to help you plan your next autumnal o...
24 Products Beauty Editors Can’t Stop Recommending To Their Friends
“If you could see into my Instagram DMs, you’d notice that I get asked for feedback about this a lot and I totally get why, it’s a major investment. But in my opinion, 100% worth it. My hair is long, thick, poker straight, and always throws up major resistance to holding any type of curl or wave. In fact, I’d long since given up on attempting to curl it with regular tongs, not least because it would take about two hours to work around my entire head, but also because any semblance of a curl would have dropped within a matter of hours. When I tried the Airwrap for the first time my mind was blown. Within half an hour I had managed to achieve the kind of bouncy blow-dry curls I could previously only dream of seeing after a salon visit, and what’s more they lasted. Granted, no style is e...
10 Simple Outfits That Make Getting Dressed So Easy
Now is the time to start thinking about your autumn/winter wardrobe. As British weather can’t be relied on, having cold-weather pieces at the ready is just a way of life, and plenty of our favourite autumn pieces are trans-seasonal, making them clever staples to invest in at any time. When the days start to cool down, we typically return to back-to-school tailoring, checked prints and a more muted colour palette. Often in autumn, the simplest outfits are the most reliable (especially considering that the weather can dramatically change within hours). We have identified nine basic outfits using a classic capsule—including a trench coat, ankle boots, a cashmere jumper and a heritage blazer—that you can always rely on come autumn and winter. All the items you’l...
