It’s bizarre to think that there was a time when midi dresses weren’t as prevalent as they are now, but such a time did exist, and I practically shudder at the thought. Without midi dresses, my wardrobe would certainly be a less fabulous place. My outfits would probably involve jeans at any given turn. But thankfully, midi dresses are considered a closet staple—one which I certainly get endless wear out of. As easy as they are to throw on, you still need to consider how to style your midi dresses, and perhaps the most important component of any midi-dress look is shoes. Now, more shoes work with midi dresses than ones that don’t, so this isn’t a styling dilemma you need to lose sleep over. That said, there are some shoe styles I think work especially well with ...
“Curtain bangs are soft, flowy, and longer than more traditional styles of fringe or bangs that sit at or above the brow,” explains celebrity hairstylist David Lopez. “It gently splits open in the centre, and sit just along the cheekbones. Unless you have super-coily or textured hair, they’re wearable for almost any length or hair type.” Not only are curtain bangs chic and beautiful in their own right, but they also have the added benefit of immediately elevating the look of ponytails or messy buns. Lopez notes they can even give the face a subtle slimming effect (if you’re into that) since they simultaneously open up the eye area and hug in your cheekbones. Of course, like any specific haircut, getting used to and styling this f...
Not so long ago, beige was considered boring in fashion circles, but let this be a lesson in how things can drastically change on a turn. Now, beige is the colour trend tethered to the minimalist aesthetic, which is only growing more prevalent on social media and the runways. Take Celine, for example, which continues to play with a muted colour palette in its spring/summer 2023 collection. Serving as the antidote to bright paintbox colours or the bold designs we see in some designer edits, beige provides a sleek solace for quiet dressers. Still, that doesn’t mean that beige can’t be impactful. Of late, I’ve seen more and more fashion types wearing the shade top-to-toe, which is somewhat maximalist in its own way. However, unlike the intricacies that come with styling...
Victoria Beckham doesn’t always wear leggings, but when she does, she makes them look impossibly cool. I’m used to seeing Beckham in her signature midi dresses and skirts, but she was just photographed in New York City wearing classic black leggings. She nixed sneakers in favour of pointy-toe stiletto boots, which instantly elevated her look—she is Posh Spice, after all. Her sock boots are the opposite of athleticwear, but naturally, she pulls them off with aplomb. If you’ve only been wearing your leggings to the gym, consider this your sign to style them with your sexiest pair of boots and go out on the town instead. Scroll down to see how Victoria Beckham is styling leggings right now and shop pieces to re-create her outfit. You Deserve to Make Mone...

With the changing of the season comes a shift in our shopping attitudes. We move from whimsical purchasing behaviours to investing more seriously in our wardrobes. Summer can feel rather carefree on the fashion front, and the clothes that come with it are often bought for a specific event (like a wedding or a particular holiday) or feel trend-led and transient. Autumn/winter is all about pinpointing those luxurious pieces that will serve your closet well this winter and for many years to come. (Deciding to add a classic camel coat to your armoury will never, ever be a bad idea.) Now is the time when editors, stylists, influencers and fashion enthusiasts alike begin to consider which elevated coats, bags, dresses, boots and knits are worthy of their time, budget and wardrobe space. You Dese...

Each time we get a glimpse of Emma Watson we know we’re in for a treat. Sightings of the actor may be few and far between, but this just adds to the intrigue and excitement, as she always delivers on the looks. Last week Watson appeared at the Prada Paradoxe event that celebrated the launch of the brand’s new perfume. As the face of the new scent, along with directing the short film for it, it’s no wonder that Emma Watson’s full Prada look was a breath of fresh air, and a combination we never knew we needed. Socks, a see-through dress, some ’90s-inspired Mary Jane shoes and a sparkly bag. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

There was something fishy going on at the London Film Festival this weekend — and we don’t mean Harry Styles’ notable absence. Instead, we want to draw your attention to a more literal fish: Emma Corrin‘s goldfish-in-a-bag dress. Wearing the fashion curveball, Corrin stepped onto the red carpet on 15 Oct. for the premiere of “My Policeman“, in which they star alongside Styles and David Dawson, in a typically off-kilter look. The JW Anderson minidress is designed to resemble a plastic bag, tied in a knot at the shoulder, filled with a goldfish, like the type that used to be won at fairgrounds. The asymmetric dress was first seen at the spring 2023 show in Sept. and was a wonderfully weird choice for the actor who has been known to embrace the more bizarre end o...
I’m a dress person, but I found myself going out of control with the number of Topshop dresses I was adding to my saved items. With over 1100 dresses currently on site, there were guaranteed to be a few that were going to catch my eye. But because no one’s wardrobe is big enough for the whole lot, I’ve done the hard work for you and picked the hero styles you may want to consider adding to your closet. So what are the trends that Topshop is backing this season? From cosy knits and floor-sweeping hems to long-sleeve numbers and sassy silhouettes, there’s something for everyone. I’ve got my eyes on the dresses that are versatile enough to carry right through to spring, so many of the below styles will look just as good with knee-high boots as...
You don’t need to scroll very far on Instagram to see that oversize is the silhouette du jour. From stylish celebs (hello, Billie Eilish and Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen) to discerning fashion influencers (we’re looking at you, Alexis Foreman), the presiding fashion mood of the last few years has very much been the bigger the better. For 2022, there has been one particular way that this has manifested: the humble blazer-and-skirt pairing. Specific though it may sound, I guarantee that once you clock the pairing, you’ll suddenly see it wherever you go. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
