Let’s Talk About Leggings—Here’s What to Wear With Them for Autumn 2022
Everyone has different priorities when it comes time to get dressed—for some, it’s all about ease. For others, looking good tops the list, whatever the cost. There are occasions where it’s understandable to sacrifice practicality for style, but personally, I know that if I’m uncomfortable, it really doesn’t matter how head-turning my outfit is. My focus will rest on the hemline that keeps creeping up, or my pinky toe being steadily squished by the too-tight pair of heels. Even if I look outwardly on-point, the minor annoyance that lost to my vanity will be what I remember most. If you similarly put comfort first, you probably own at least one pair of leggings. The WFH surge of 2020 saw most people give in to their unparalleled...
Jennifer Lawrence Wore the It Flats Fellow New Yorker Zoë Kravitz Also Swears By
Except on rare occasions, I’m not someone that will splurge on a pair of designer shoes the second I see them. I need to think about them for a while and sometimes wait a bit before making the purchase (to see if they remain in style and if I still want them). The Row’s Ava Mary Jane Flats are an investment purchase I’d definitely be comfortable making at this point, especially given their approval of two of the chicest celebrities in NYC: Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz. Kravitz has actually been wearing the Ava Flats for years, pairing them with everything from pleated miniskirts and white socks to low-rise trousers. And just this week, Lawrence also wore the longtime It flats, with loose cream-colored jeans and a white T-shirt. The Row’s Ava Flat...
I Searched Through Hundreds of High-Street Cowboy Boots—These 22 Are the Best
On the runways, designers don’t shy away from this trend. After making its debut in 1979 as part of Ralph Lauren’s new Polo Western and Ralph Lauren Western lines, the cowboy boot has been featured in an assortment of designer collections from Chanel (Haute Couture 22) to Isabel Marant (A/W 21) to Céline (A/W 21) to Ganni (S/S 23). Plus, thanks to the ever-evolving world of street style, there’s already plenty of inspiration if you want to know how to make cowboy boots work in your wardrobe. As we head into winter, pair slimmer styles with straight jeans and a chunky knit or cardigan before layering a wool coat on top. During autumn, I’ll be wearing my boots with leather shorts and a blazer as seen at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Want to go bold? Take cues from Emma Cha...
Meghan Markle Just Wore a Low-Key Outfit That Made Puddle Pants Look Chic
Meghan Markle is back in Europe, and she packed a trend-forward, elegant wardrobe for the many occasions she and Prince Harry traveled for. Earlier today, while attending an Invictus Games event in Dusseldorf, Germany, Markle wore a particularly buzzy trend. Yes, it’s puddle pants, a style that Kate Middleton also wore to an event earlier this year (with much success, I might add). With her puddle pants outfit, in one fell swoop, Markle effortlessly proved that the trend doesn’t have to be sloppy in the least. In fact, she made them look downright chic, thanks to expert styling. She paired the pleated Brandon Maxwell trousers with a knit tank and her go-to heel style: pointed-toe pumps. The next time you’re tempted to bring your extra-lo...
20 New-In Pieces From Reiss That We’ve Totally Fallen in Love With
September means back to school, and for the lucky ones who managed to get away for the summer, back to the office too. When you’ve already got an early start and the commute to contend with, the last thing you want to have think about is what you’re going to wear, and if that same reliable skirt and blouse don’t feel as inspiring as they used to, We’ve got good news. There’s new workwear in town, courtesy of Reiss, and it’s about to refresh the way you think about dressing for the office. Reiss’ latest (and most vibrant) collection to date is “On Duty“, a move away from the brand’s recognisable neutral tones–think bold pops of colour and heritage prints, but with the same sharp tailoring and perfect-fit sil...
The Only 6 Jewellery Trends That Matter This Autumn
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years working in fashion, it’s that the smallest things can often make the biggest difference. Take this summer’s penchant for wearing your designer vests inside-out and back-to-front to show of the branding within. It might relieve you to hear that I’m not about to suggest swapping your tops with your bottoms or wearing mis-matched shoes (remember when that was a thing?). The point is, small tweaks can have big style payoffs. And what could be the small tweak we’re discussing today? Well, the headline kind of gave it away, didn’t it? Jewellery is clever in that it can elevate your look in mere seconds. Whether you’re styling a simple t-shirt and jeans or looking to breathe...
I’ll Be Honest, I’m Shocked by How Great These Perfumes Smell
I am the first to admit that I can (sometimes) be a bit of a snob. I like to imagine that, as a beauty journalist, I remain totally impartial every time I try a new product but if I said that I’d be lying to both you and myself. In reality, I am just as much put off by certain product characteristics as the next person—and this is truer than ever when it comes to perfume. As a general rule, I like my perfumes to be sleek, chic, and expensive-smelling. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the fragrances should be expensive, mind you, they just have to smell that way. Having said that, I’m also one of the most shallow perfume lovers I know. Truthfully, I should know better than to judge a book by its cover when it comes to beauty products, however, unless a perfume bott...

When it comes to the runway, designers far from shy away from the trend. After making its debut in 1979 as part of Ralph Lauren’s new Polo Western and Ralph Lauren Western lines, the cowboy boot has featured in an assortment of designer collections from Chanel (Haute Couture 22) to Isabel Marant (autumn/winter 21) and Céline (autumn/winter 21) to Ganni (spring/summer 23). Plus, thanks to the ever-evolving world of street style, there’s already plenty of inspiration on how to make them work in your wardrobe IRL. As we head into winter, pair slimmer styles with straight jeans and a chunky knit or cardigan before layering over a wool coat. Over autumn, I’ll be wearing mine with leather shorts and a blazer as seen at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Want to go bold? T...

From Skinny to Puddle: How Jennifer Lopez Styles 5 Bold Jean Trends
Jennifer Lopez has had so many statement fashion moments over the years. Remember the Versace dress, the Met Gala headpiece and, most recently, the custom Ralph Lauren wedding gown? But despite all the sparkle and glamour, it’s clear that when J.Lo dresses down, she always turns to denim. In the early days of her career, she relied on daring, low-rise styles. Now in her 50s, she’s branching out and perhaps revisiting some old favourites along the way. Between baggy, pleated, skinny, and bootcut, if it’s a jean style, J.Lo has probably tried it. She’s never one to shy away from experimenting with different looks and knows exactly how to wear each style to maximum effect. On her honeymoon, she was spotted in an assortment of denim ‘fits (along with a plethora of...
Autumn/Winter 2022 Fashion Trends: The 15 Looks You Need to Know About
The overarching mood of autumn/winter 2022’s fashion trends can be summed up in one word: Nostalgia. Now, nostalgia comes in many different forms depending on your age, experiences and interests. Whatever you might associate with happier, simpler times has likely been translated to the runways for the upcoming season because the creative collectives in New York, London, Milan and Paris have all been feeling that desire for a better life. Designers powered through the past two pandemic years with optimism, channelling their energies in quite literal pick-me-up trends such as dopamine dressing—a hashtag that continues to garner attention on almost all social platforms—but with the easing up of restrictions and a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, more v...
From J.Lo’s to Jennifer Aniston’s, These ’90s Hairstyles Need to Come Back
Ah, the ’90s. An era defined by MTV, halter-neck tops, and more boy bands than we care to count. Some of our absolute favorite pop culture moments were born out of this decade, and when we think back on it, we can’t help but relish in the wonderfully wild ’90s hairstyles. From messy buns to a broad selection of fringes, and, of course, butterfly clips galore, there was something special about the hair trends from this time. The It girls of the era, such as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and Gwen Stefani, were serving up enough inspiration to carry us right into the following decade. If you’re as nostalgic as we are, then you’ll love this roundup of the 20 most quintessentially ’90s hairstyles we would low-key wear today. We might get some strange lo...
