I Thought This Hair Colour Trend Was “Dated” but These 21 Looks Prove Otherwise
There’s one hair colour that is dominating this season and we’re seeing it everywhere. The red hair colour trend has been gaining momentum for a while (remember when Gigi Hadid’s and Zendaya’s copper transformations started it all?), but it has now become the number one autumn hair colour trend. We’ve seen it on the fashion set, the runways and a number of celebrities have dipped their toe into the red hair trend. It started off as subtle tones, but as the look snowballs the pigments are also getting stronger. We’ve not seen red hair have quite as big a comeback for quite some time, but right now, it feels refreshing again. Every time I speak with hair stylists, they say that for so long their clients have asked for cooler, ashier ton...
Whether You’re 25 or 65, These 9 Outfit Formulas Are Perfect For Autumn
The greatest flex an avid shopper can have is that the item they just bought is worth its weight in gold. For me, this sensation occurs when I’ve purchased an item I know I’ll wear for life. I am so confident in so many pieces in my wardrobe and I take pride in knowing that one day I’ll pass them down to my future daughter (crossing my fingers she is into the whole fashion thing). With this love for timeless fashion in mind, I am always looking for new ways to style the forever pieces that hang in my wardrobe. For this I head to Instagram, which is home to an abundance of stylish dresses that work up new and interesting ways to wear the classics. The below outfits are ones I plan to copy for many decades to come and will be add...
I Searched Through Hundreds of High-Street Trench Coats—These 23 Are the Best
As the leaves start to brown and the sun gives way to rain, it’s that time of year when we get out the most useful of outerwear from our wardrobes: the trench coat. The weather has definitely turned, and as I sit at my desk with the rain pouring down, it’s got me thinking about to how to look chic but still warm when the temperamental British weather isn’t on our side.

Easy to throw on, functional yet stylish and an instant way to pull your look together, the trench coat is the chic cover-up we all need in our lives. Influencers such as Marianne of @s...
9 Noteworthy Street Style Trends Coming Out of Milan Right Now
With two of the four fashion weeks under our belts, it’s finally time for Milan Fashion Week. At each stop on the mammoth journey, the four cities offer up a unique feel. New York kicked off with a cacophony of colour, whilst London showcased the very best of pleats and prints. But the Italian city demands an elevated style that’s reflective of the luxury brands that have come out of it. Think heritage brands like Gucci and Prada alongside modern (but still elegant) counterparts like Bottega Veneta. As the fashion crowd swarmed the city, darting from show to show, we took in the outfits of the fashionable attendees. In due course, we’ll come to the important trends that appeared on the Milanese runways, but for now, here are the nine st...
Dressing Like a 2000s Frazzled English Woman Is Autumn’s Latest Trend – Yes, Really
Feeling rushed, like you never have time to properly style your outfits, and keep throwing on layers to run your errands as the weather cools? Well, you’re actually the height of fashion thanks to the latest viral TikTok trend for autumn: the 2000s Frazzled English Woman aesthetic. Sure, it’s not the snappiest name, but it’s the only real way to explain it. Y2K fashion in the form of butterfly tops, tie-front shirts, and pleated miniskirts has dominated wardrobes for the last few months. Inspiration has come from classic films like “Clueless” and “Mean Girls”, with the latest iteration getting a fuchsia makeover with “Barbiecore” turning the trend pink. But the look has very much been a summer staple, so transitioning it to autumn has p...
The COS Sale Is Here—19 Classic Autumn Buys I’m Adding to Basket
Every once in a while one of our favourite high street brands comes along and treats us to an amazing sale. We know to look out for these at the end of every season, but a mid-season sale is even more of a treat, with the possibility of nabbing some pieces we’ve added to our wish list recently for a lower price. Often those pieces that end up in the sale are fairly trend-led which have been left over at the end of a season, meaning that it often requires a hefty bit of work in order to find the discounted gems that are worth snapping up. However, today that’s not the case. Enter COS, who has spoiled shoppers with an up to 50%-off mid season sale full of a plethora of classic buys that will work hard in your wardrobe year-round.

It’s Boot Season, and These Are the Trends That Will Dominate
After a long and patient wait, it’s finally here. And no, I’m not referring specifically to autumn, but instead, each year, I count down to the best season of all: boot season. It’s that perfect time of year that’s just cool enough to layer up, but there’s still a little sun. Not too much wind, but just the right amount of crispness in the air to warrant shoes that are a little more substantial than sandals. And now, after wearing a scarf for the first time this year, I can confirm we’re in the swing of autumn, and the first thing on your shopping list should be a good pair of boots to see you through the next six months and beyond. In my opinion, there’s nothing chicer than a simple, understated outfit with statement boots, and after racking up a ...
A Stylist Told Me the Ultimate Capsule Wardrobe Is Made of These 27 Pieces
“Zara does the best blazers with a great flattering shoulder structure for all body shapes,” she explains. “Arket has the best knitwear and their oversized roll-necks look far more expensive than they are thanks to their lux looking cut. I have hunted high and low—even in price point—for the ultimate oversized white shirt, and & Other Stories have the dream one. It’s the right level of oversized, and its finishings won’t swamp you.” Charlotte has created a list of the 27 items you need in your wardrobe. “[It’s been] a development and research process, but I feel with the exception of two trend pieces that change per month, the rest are timeless,” she says. “You could use this season’s bodysuit under a blazer instead of a white shirt and team with impeccably tailored wide-leg trousers t...
I’m a Seasoned Shopping Expert, But These 20 Pieces Just Stopped Me in My Tracks
It almost feels as if the change happened overnight, but after yet another chilly day, it’s clear that autumn is officially upon us. Although it’s tough to say goodbye to summer, there’s something about autumnal fashion that we love to celebrate. (Hello, cosy layering. Goodbye, sunburn.) Every year, as the new season rolls around, we’re happy to hang up our summer dresses if it means a welcome return to comfort dressing. Sure, the weather might be unpredictable, but the change in temperature does mean one good thing: The new autumn/winter collections have arrived, and with them comes the excitement of a very stylish season ahead. It just so happens that we’ve found the best place to turn to for a new-season refresh of established designers, rising stars and ti...
Cher Walks in Balmain Finale at Paris Fashion Week in Spandex Bodysuit
Paris Fashion Week roared into full gear Wednesday (Sept. 28) with atmospherics and excitement over Balmain’s evening fashion-music festival spectacular — a star-studded charity concert featuring the latest fashions, members of the public and performances. That included a finale walk from none other than Cher. Olivier Rousteing proved he is one of global fashion’s biggest showmen — putting on, yet again, not a show but a festival for Balmain that took place in a giant stadium. Of course, the greatest celebrity moment of Paris Fashion Week just had to be clinched here — when the designer came out at the end arm in arm with Cher. The 76-year-old Oscar winner trod the boards all smiles — to screams from the crowds — in a marbled spandex bodysuit, plunging neck, platform wedges and the house’s...

The “Risky” Shoe Trend Taking the Place of Basic Boots
When it comes to boot trends, there are key styles that will always be considered classics. Think heeled ankle boots and chunky, moto styles. But this season, both the fashion set and celebs are introducing fresh boot silhouettes into their wardrobes as alternatives to the basics, including a slighter “riskier” choice: platform boots. Statement-making in nature, this shoe style has the ability to instantly elevate even the most simple ensemble thanks to its bold and somewhat daring design. And while heeled platforms will always be a favourite, there’s a variety of flatform picks out there (ahem, The Row’s iconic zip-front pair) as well to bring comfort and ease to an ensemble. Sure, these styles won’t completely replace basic ankle boots (they&...
