10 Breathtaking Outfits That Stole the Show at Burning Man 2022
Ah Burning Man, a community-based event like none other. Since 2004, the Burning Man Project has been guided by 10 principles, among them “Radical Self-expression.” Altogether, these guidelines are a gentle reminder of what the Burn is all about: letting your imagination run amok on the playa. And it’s here where some of the most mesmerizing adornments come to fruition. While some may say that high-fashion has no place at Burning Man due to its overarching dedication to civic responsibility, fashion is arguably the highest form of self-expression. Year after year, roughly 80,000 people gather in Black Rock City in the Nevada desert. And it’s fascinating to bear witness to how each Burner shows up and, well, dresses up. In no particular order, here are the ...
Anne Hathaway Channels “The Devil Wears Prada” at New York Fashion Week
Anne Hathaway was pictured sitting on the front row at the Michael Kors show at New York Fashion Week on 14 Sept., and eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot the message behind her stylish outfit. Wearing a black turtleneck, brown croc-embossed leather jacket, and a matching leather miniskirt, all from Michael Kors, the ensemble bears a striking resemblance to the costume she wore playing Andrea Sachs in “The Devil Wears Prada“. The 2006 blockbuster — which sees Hathaway play clueless intern Sachs, working at an intimidatingly well-known fashion magazine — is said to be based on several magazines, but it is widely believed Anna Wintour was the inspiration for the fictitious Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. What makes this 2022 moment even more iconic is that Hathaway was s...
I Follow These Chic Women Over 50, and I Want to Buy Their 6 Favourite Staples
Age is clearly just a number. And in no way should the year you were born have anything to do with your sartorial choices. That said, I often tap women over 50 for top-notch style guidance given their more experienced fashion point of view and their trial-and-error experience with style. In fact, the group of chic women over 50 below are some of my favourites for shopping inspiration. After I recently scrolled through their feeds, it became evident that there are specific staples and elevated basics that are essential for them. And yes, I want to add all of these pieces to my own wardrobe if I haven’t already. (Ahem, slouchy blazers.) Keep scrolling to check out the items these influencers wear on repeat along with inspired shopping picks if you’re interested in ...
Sorry, Ankle Boots—This One Style Is Set to Be the It Shoe of Autumn
The best time of the year is upon us: ahem, boot season. With it comes the prospect of trying something new, whether you’re test-driving a trend or giving your new designer boots a spin around the block. Autumn is the perfect time to reboot your wardrobe (quite literally). And while there are so many ways to freshen up your wardrobe, I can’t think of any better way to step into the new season than in the most popular style of the moment: tall boots. Since last autumn, you couldn’t (and still can’t) scour the runway, scroll through social media, or shop from your favourite retailers without spotting at least a few tall pairs of boots. This style has stuck around for better or worse (depending on how you feel). But if you’re a little dubious about buying i...
I Just Assembled 5 Expensive-Looking Autumn Outfits Entirely From COS
Despite forging a career for myself in fashion, I secretly find autumn a really difficult time to dress for. A dress girl at heart, I love how summer lends itself to floaty, oversized pieces that I just have to slip on with sandals and I’m set. I find so much joy in dressing for warmer months, and shopping is something I particularly relish between May and September. But when autumn hits, the nerves creep in, and I start to lose my confidence when it comes to new-season clothes. To combat this, there is one thing I always rely on as the leaves start to brown and the days get darker, and that is a solid bank of timeless, stylish and easy outfits that I feel good in. And for this, I head to the high street. One of my favourite destinations for this type of shopping is COS. Full of ...
Dermatologists Say These 3 Products Are Not Worth Splashing On—But These 3 Are
Skincare can be a challenging category to navigate. Even as a beauty editor, I get overwhelmed trying to figure out what skincare products actually work and which premium beauty brands are really worth the money. There has never been so much choice when it comes to shopping for skincare. And while this can be a great thing, it can also make choosing—and finding—products that work for your own skin type and concerns quite tricky. Scrolling through social media, you’ll often find influencers and beauty lovers raving about their favourite skincare products and brands. While we love a word-of-mouth recommendation, what works for one person might not necessarily work for you. And as a result, you might accumulate products that end up gathering dust that are not suited for y...
The 6 Best Autumn Tops to Wear With All Your Jeans, Skirts and Trousers
Autumn is rolling in, so much so that we can almost taste those spiced lattes. The temperature has definitely dropped, and after getting used to a scorcher of a summer, we wouldn’t blame you if you’re none the wiser on what to actually wear now. Is it too cold for bare legs and sandals? Do I need a jacket, or will a cardigan suffice? This in-between time we fashion folks call trans-seasonal can bring to light some serious style conundrums. But don’t despair—getting to grips with your wardrobe right now is easier than you think. All you need are a few versatile staples that will ease you through autumn all the way to winter, from classic jeans to easy skirts and stylish wide-leg trousers. To make th...
I’ve Got Dozens of Coats, But This High-Street One Rivals Any Designer Buy
Is it just me, or did the weather suddenly turn this week? After months of struggling to sleep without a fan on and contending with the most humid commute in quite a while, this week was the first time I reached for a coat because I was actually cold. And granted, it isn’t quite time for my winter puffer coat just yet, there’s definite chill in the air as a reminder to those who had forgotten–it’s now officially autumn. Navigating the seasonal in-between has been a tricky one (and we’ve got plenty of transitional outfits to copy, ideas on clever layering, and how to make your summer wardrobe work for autumn), but when it comes to outerwear, it can be a tough choice between a heavy winter coat or a light jacket. So what do we wear when it’s too cold for a trench but too...
10 Easy Outfits Fashion People Wear With Classic Jeans
Some of us might have had a break from wearing jeans over the last few months; that, or you’ve at least been wearing them less during the summer period. Now, however, as we begin to fully embrace autumn and the cooling temperatures it brings, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit some classic blue jeans outfits to inspire us for the season ahead. Jeans are an integral part of our autumn capsule wardrobes. We need not go into detail on how versatile they can be—we’re sure you’re well aware of the fact they can be dressed up or down with a few clever switches. But when it comes to styling them with pieces you already own, it’s always handy to have a refresher. Below we’ve curated an edit of ten classic jeans outfits that should be easy for you to re...
These Luxury Beauty Brands Are Now on Amazon—Here’s What I’m Adding to Basket
When you think of Amazon, luxury beauty might not be the first thing that springs to mind. While we would usually make a B-line to Amazon when we’re in need of a new book or an extension lead on next-day delivery, it’s not the first port of all for buying your luxury skincare serums and moisturisers. However, that is about to change. Amazon has now launched Luxury Stores, a dedicated landing page on Amazon, which is about to change how we shop for premium fashion and beauty online. You can shop designers such as Christopher Kane and Altuzarra, but most excitingly—in my role as a beauty editor—is that you can now shop premium beauty brands too. All of which you can access with the fast delivery that Amazon is known for. Plus, you know that you’re buyin...
22 French-Girl Pieces That Are Totally Perfect for Autumn
I’ve loved Free People for as long as I can remember. Bohemian with a pared-back twist, the brand has been a long-standing go-to destination amongst editors and influencers alike for midi dresses, boots and sensationally good outerwear. It will come as no surprise, then, that its latest capsule collection—which was shot in Paris, by the way—is just as captivating as those of the past. Think shearling jackets, romantic slips and retro accessories. There’s no denying that, thanks to the ever-changing British weather, creating the perfect autumn outfit can be hard. But thankfully, Free People’s edit is comprised of effortlessly stylish pieces to help get autumn dressing right. In its latest launch, best sellers including the Dolman Qu...
These 5 Pieces Make Up Sienna’s Casual Capsule Wardrobe
We all know Sienna Miller can knock it out of the ballpark when it comes to dressing for fancy events (the blue dress she wore for The Sandman premier is still on my mind), but we’ve always appreciated the actress for her off-duty looks too. As the OG boho troubadour, it’s highly likely Sienna’s fashion choices have influenced every single one of us over the years, whether we’ve realised it or not. I know that my tiered hippie skirt and studded waist-belt collection probably wouldn’t have come to fruition if it weren’t for her mid-noughties aesthetic taking off so strongly. I’d even still quite like to own a pair of Vivienne Westwood pirate boots, but Miller’s wardrobe has grown up, and so have I, and it’s now her more casual,...
