I Just Tried on the 6 Most Epic Pieces From The Frankie Shop
If you were to consult my MATCHESFASHION.COM, Net-a-Porter or Instagram most-visited pages, they would instantly tell you that one of my favourite brands is The Frankie Shop. I’m a longtime stan of its XL tailoring, cotton boxer shorts and conceptual outerwear, and its pieces make me feel grown up, polished and chic yet give that effortlessness so it appears I’m not trying despite the fact I’m almost always trying very, very hard. This season, its autumn collection is the same as always: a series of elevated staples in a mainly neutral palette with the occasional surprise cut or colour (think Bottega Green and the brightest of bright pinks). A few of its sell-out trophy pieces from last season are back and better than ever, as well as some coordin...
1970s Fashion Trends That Still Feel Current Today
I’m a huge fan of ’70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the ’70s sweep over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always a hint of it on the streets if you look closely. Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenberg. Also, during this period, mass-market, trend-driven fashion was more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongsi...
All Our Editors Agree, These Are the Best M&S Pieces to Buy for Autumn
As a team, we’re not embarrassed to say we have a passion for scrolling through the M&S website or popping into our local store on our lunch break to browse the new-in sections. So often, we’ve come away with a real gem—something like the perfect jacket, leather trousers or an affordable cashmere knit—that goes on to hold a place in our wardrobes for years. Can you really blame us, then, for our rather unconventional hobby? So as autumn 2022 gets well underway, and wardrobe refreshes and new-season shake-ups abound, we thought we’d put our talents to good use and provide you with an edit of the pieces from M&S we really love right now. There are obviously plenty of great knits and jackets, but we’re also really impressed with the...
So Many Celebrities Love This Affordable Sustainable Brand
More than a fashion brand, Pangaia is a treasure trove of information. With the environment at the core of it, Pangaia openly shares its contribution to protecting the environment, along with plenty of information (and even a glossary if you’re looking to expand your sustainable understanding). With each purchase, the brand promises to plant, protect or restore a tree, which has allowed them to reach a milestone of planting, protecting and restoring over 1 million trees through the Tomorrow Tree Fund. If there’s one thing Pangaia doesn’t shy away from it’s colour, and its become an aspect of the brand that makes it so recognisable. Name a palette, and they probably have it, although with new seasons we’re given new core colours to suit the chan...
6 Fashion People Who Always Find Expensive-Looking High-Street Pieces
Finding the best pieces on the high street is hard work, even for editors whose job it is to do so. With so many websites and new-in sections to cover, it takes dedication and, quite literally, an entire team to ensure we don’t miss an incredible new drop or a soon-to-be best seller as we scroll. Another method we use to ensure we see every high-street piece going? Instagram. There’s a handful of influencers who we religiously follow solely for their loyalty to the high street (something we have in common), and we thought it was high time we shared them with you. Whether it’s uncovering the sleekest minimalistic items from Arket, spotlighting expensive-looking wardrobe essentials from H&M or unearthing the next cult buy from & Other Storie...
Trust Me– These Face Primers Are Incredible For Mature Skin
As we get older there’s no doubt that our skin changes greatly. Thankfully there’s now more information out there on how our hormone levels affects our skin, whether that’s with loss of volume, dryness or skin tone change. While this is more important to note when it comes to skincare and supplements it’ll also play a part in the makeup that we pick too. From choosing liquids or powder products or even opting for a primer that works better for mature skin. I’m 30 and have already seen the choices I make adjust as my skin texture and tone change. I’m suddenly more drawn to creamier products and crave glow-boosting formulas across each step of my routine. Priming your skin is the crossover step from skincare to makeup and we’re seeing more brands wise up to the benefits of incorpor...
If You’re After Easy, Natural-Looking Makeup, You Need to Know About This Brand
The formulas themselves are creamy, melty and almost impossibly easy to work with. The packaging is next-level luxurious and weighty and just makes sense. In essence, Westman Atelier products are, what I like to call, finger-makeup products. They’re swipe-them-on-and-go sorts of things. The most iconic products in the line-up, Baby Cheeks Blush, Vital Skin Foundation and Lit Up Highlight, are all in stick format with formulas so creamy they just take a few dabs with your fingers to totally fuse with skin. And I’m not alone in my love for Westman Atelier’s luxury products. I recently asked a bunch of beauty-editor pals whether I’m the only person who thinks every product Gucci Westman touches turns to gold, and they agreed I am not....
Fact: No Other Perfumes Are More Popular or Sell Faster Than These 20
Perfume can be an incredibly personal concept. Not only does fragrance have the ability to set your mood or intention for the day ahead, but it can also be a way to bring back memories. But sometimes, we love a scent on the basis that it smells incredible. So much so, that we have to claim it for ourselves. That’s why you may find many may be reluctant to share their signature fragrance—we all want to keep a brilliant scent to ourselves. There’s nothing like a personal recommendation from someone who is happy toilet you in on their scent. However, the way we’re shopping for fragrance has changed hugely in recent years. Before then, it would be a risk to blind purchase a perfume online—it could be a hit or miss. However, nowadays it’s so much easier to...

I Spent Hours Online at H&M, Mango and & Other Stories to Find the Best Dresses
Confession: I am a lazy dresser. Between my tendency to get ready in a hurry and my reliance on a five-piece roster of wardrobe staples, the outfits that actually make the cut are, generally, fairly unimaginative.
