PSA: The COS Atelier Collection Has Landed, and It’s a High-Street Game Changer
From the Atelier collection, you can expect sharp tailoring alongside fluid eveningwear, versatile knits and new silhouettes with designer details like textured chenille, ruffles and luxe-looking gold brooch clasps. Frankly, it had me at chenille. Starting at £15 for a pair of tights and going all the way up to £550 for a real-deal leather trench, there are price points to appease many budgets. In between, there’s everything from seasonal knits and trend-led separates to real investment pieces (hello, cashmere coat) with the same long-wearing quality that we’ve come to expect to from COS. Win-win. Keep scrolling to see some of our favourite pieces from the COS Atelier collection before it inevitably sells out in-store and online. You Deserve to Make ...
24 Statement Pieces From Mango That Will Instantly Elevate Your Wardrobe
This time of year, it’s easy to make a habit of dressing in an autumnal palette. Whilst florals are for spring (supposedly), this season has its own uniform: neutral tailoring, camel coats, beige cashmere and “fall colours,” which usually consist of pumpkin oranges, rich aubergines and earthy greens that reflect the nature of the changing season. Maybe we opt for neutral and muted tones around this time of year because we spend summer drenched in pastel-printed dresses, or maybe we just like to save our statement-making attire for party season, but sometimes, I look at my outfit in the mirror and catch myself hearing Kate Moss say, “Drama! I want more drama! Where’s all the drama?” And I think to myself, Yeah, where is all the drama? I find myself wondering why the colour in my wardrobe ha...
Lashana Lynch Glistens in a Gold Sequinned Cape at “The Woman King” Premiere
Lashana Lynch took sequins to another level at “The Woman King” premiere in London’s Leicester Square on 3 Oct. The “No Time to Die” actor, who stars in the film, took to the blue carpet in top-to-toe sparkle as she chose a glamorous Jenny Packham gown with matching cape. Styled by Karla Welch, the 34-year-old looked the picture of elegance in the gorgeous embellished number from the pre-fall collection that was adorned with sequins, crystals, and beads. More was certainly more for Lynch who opted for a Garrard statement necklace and drop earrings. Strappy sandals were the perfect shoes to offset the dramatic outfit, while bronze makeup completed the look. She was joined at the premiere by Viola Davies, who plays the leading role of Nanisca in the movie, and h...
Rita Ora Showcases Lower Hip Tattoo in Extreme Cutout Jeans and Denim Crop Top
Double denim might be a divisive trend, but Rita Ora gave a masterclass on how to take it from suspect to sexy. The singer posted a carousel of smouldering snaps on Instagram on 3 Oct. as she teamed a pair of extreme cutout jeans with a zipped denim crop top. Ora added the series of photos, taken in Auckland, New Zealand, to showcase her outfit details alongside the caption, “Coffee break – and zoomies 📞🫣”. The look, from the Ukrainian-born London-based designer Masha Popova, is not for the faint hearted thanks to the ultra-low-rise jeans with a bum-baring cutout at the hips. In the stylish Ora way we’ve come to love, the “Hot Right Now” singer oozed fashion confidence in the yellow acid-wash jeans. The cutout on the right side dipped so ...

I’ve Done the Research–This How to Wear This Season’s Most Controversial Colour
This past summer, there was one trend that no designer or high-street store has been able to ignore. Of course, I’m talking about pink, more specifically the bright, fluro fuchsia that kickstarted the trend amusingly dubbed “Barbiecore”, and it was quite literally impossible to ignore. As everyone from Anne Hathaway to Sebastian Stan donned the head-to-toe neon that would would be referred to as “PPPink” in fashion circles (after Pierpaolo Piccioli’s all pink Valentino show and the Pantone shade created specifically for it), it seemed that for the rest of this year we would all be tickled pink. That is until a new colour crept in for A/W–hot red. The one shade to topple bubblegum pink...
These 14 Trends Will Define Street Style This Autumn
What a month! Over the past few weeks we’ve shone individual spotlights on New York, London, Milan and Paris as the cities’ respective Fashion Week schedules got underway and, my, what a spectacle they’ve all been. While there were moments on the runway we’ll never forget—from the respects paid at many London shows to Gucci’s twins to Coperni’s spray-on dress—this has been a Fashion Month for the history books. But we’d argue some of the biggest takeaways aren’t what we see on the runways but the looks we spot on the streets outside the venues. And today, that’s what we’re going to focus on. The street style between the Fashion cities is always varied, but some trends are so strong that they transcend geography...
Gigi Hadid’s Flat Shoes Confirm That This Style Is Still a Trend
Even though last fall feels like forever ago, I haven’t forgotten that chunky loafers were the trend of the season. Every brand from high to low was making them, and they were selling out left and right. When a trend is that big, there’s always the possibility of it tapering off after its peak, but that’s not been the case with the aforementioned lug-sole loafers, which Gigi Hadid just confirmed for us in Paris. As far as celebrity trendsetters go, Hadid is at the top of the influential list, so when I saw that she was wearing chunky loafers on two occasions, I was convinced they’re still a go. In both instances, she wore a pair of leopard-print loafers by Reformation, pairing them with a marigold jumpsuit and baggy jeans and a leather blazer. As...
I’m a Shoe Fanatic—8 Polished Looks That Prove Flats are Always a Good Idea
Let’s face it: there’s a time and a place for heels, but not all of us possess the poise, grace and balance needed to pull them off on a daily basis. Yes, I’m talking about myself. Don’t get me wrong— I’m partial to a low-heeled boot in the autumn and a platform sandal in the summer. But when I have things to do and places to be, nine times out of ten I’ll opt for a flat sole. Comfort and ease of getting around is my main motivator, but these key factors aside, there’s no denying that flat shoes offer a certain effortlessness that’s difficult to replicate with heels. Between Mary Janes, ballet pumps, Chelsea boots and the comfiest of all, trainers, us fashion enthusiasts have plenty of flat footwear options that are bang-on-trend and don’t require us to...
I Hate Styling My Hair, But These 21 Looks Are So Easy To Copy
If you’re anything like me, you might find doing your hair a bit of a chore. Which is a shame, as I love a hairstyle that ties a whole look together and makes you feel polished. The problem is that doing your hair (especially if you have long hair) can be time consuming, and we don’t always have time to do a full-blown ’90s blowout, or try that viral TikTok trend that looks easy, but in reality leaves you huffing in frustration while trying to get out of the door in the morning. Well, dear reader, there is one look which is a stylish—yet easy—hairstyle that won’t make you late in the mornings. Enter the half up, half down hairstyle. It’s fuss-free, simple and quick to do and suits every hair texture. It’s also the perf...

I Just Tried On So Many High-Street Leather Trousers—These 11 Were the Best
They’re undeniably versatile and a year-round staple. Okay, maybe you wouldn’t choose them on the hottest day in August, but they couldn’t be more perfect for autumn. Just add knits and a trench, and in winter they become the perfect party pants. They may be an investment, but once you find the perfect style, at least you can be sure you’ll get your money’s worth out of them. These days, leather trousers come in all shapes and sizes, from straight-leg to wide-leg, plus-size to petite. And they’re not just in black leather, either. There are also creamy beiges and shades of green for spring. Most high-street retailers (and a lot of designers) have at least one pair on offer, which means there are a lot out there to choose fr...
