9 Best-Selling Reformation Dresses That Are Shockingly Pretty
Of course, dresses are the brand’s M.O., and for good reason. They’re really, really great at designing them. And they’re (sadly) one of the few brands that caters to both petite and extended sizes as well—bravo, Reformation. While all of its dresses are elite, knowing which ones are actually the best can be hard, especially when there are currently hundreds of styles on the website. So I wanted to do a roundup not just of the best Reformation dresses, in my opinion, but the styles that have been officially backed by you all this year (aka the most-wanted styles that sell through our articles again and again). We’ve looked into the data and can confirm there are some styles you love way more than others. These are the dresses celebs love too, t...
I’m a Fashion Editor, and These Summer-to-Autumn Buys Are in My Basket
But along with the cool cult heroes, there’s an array of elevated staples that keep ending up in my cart. There’s always a slip dress or two (just because they’re so easily layered below a blazer or cardigan), and I’ve recently really gotten into knit dresses (I’m particularly loving the jersey and crochet kind), which I’d argue have a different purpose than a slip—they’re thicker and are therefore ideal for breezy beach days or cooler autumnal morning walks to the office. A brand that’s always a go-to for all of the above is Gabriela Hearst. Based in New York but born in Uruguay, the brand draws inspiration from the Hearst family’s Latin American ranch, where all the pieces are carefully crafted. Think folky, full-length shawls with ta...

These “Instant Outfits” Will Be the Only Ones You Want to Wear All Summer
If you thought co-ords were only appropriate for toddlers and teens, think again. This season, we’ve been inundated with rather grown-up co-ords that are practical for every day. The best part about these matchy-matchy pieces is that the full outfit is already styled up, so they take minimal effort. Also, you can split up the separates to create multiple outfit opportunities. Faithfull the Brand is always a go-to for printed sets, but the likes of Totême and Reformation have created iterations for minimalists. Mango, Arket and H&M have also jumped onboard with a selection of chic linen co-ords and summer suiting. Keep scrolling to see how some of our favourite fashion girls are wearing this trend for summer and shop some of the best co-ords around. You Deser...
Trust Me—These 25 Chic Medium-Length Haircuts Require Minimal Maintenance
When you’re thinking about getting a new haircut, and particularly if you’re looking for low-maintenance medium-length haircuts, it can be hard to know where to start. Whatever your current hair length, whether it be short, medium or long, switching up your look can be so exciting, but it can also leave you feeling overwhelmed by choice or unsure of which style to commit to once you’re in the salon chair. The best hairstylists, however, will work with you to find the best haircut and hairstyle for your lifestyle. It’s important to discuss how you would like your hair to look but also what your needs are. For instance, maybe you’re thinking about adding in some face-framing layers to your medium-length hair, but you still want to be able to tie your hair b...
The Shoes That Look Best With Shorts (and 5 Styles That Are Meh)
If you were to rattle off the summer staples in your wardrobe, there’s a strong chance that shorts would be toward the top of the list. Well, it makes sense given the practical and stylish nature of the essential. On that note, we thought we’d bring you a range of standout shorts silhouettes if you’re looking to add a fresh pair to your rotation. But we’re actually taking it one step further and showcasing the shoes that look best with shorts. Alternatively, we also wanted to highlight the shoe silhouettes we’re not as into with shorts at the moment given their somewhat outdated nature. Of course, remember that you should really just wear what you love and what you’re most comfortable in. Keep scrolling to check out testimonials from the team about the shoes to wear with shorts this s...
This Trending Skirt Is the Answer to Every Heatwave
Linen, linen and more linen. Summer has spoken, and the natural fabric is taking over our wardrobes in the form of dresses, trousers, shirts, shorts and skirts. And today, we want to shout about linen skirts. With warm days and muggy nights, staying cool is essential. Sure, a hand fan will be the chicest accessory worth investing in this season, but forming your everyday uniform with linen pieces can make for a less sweaty experience. Choosing what to wear is stressful enough as it is, right? There are so many skirt trends this season, including but not limited to bold florals, checks, pelmets and tiered hemlines. But it doesn’t matter which print, detail or style you look to as long as it’s made of linen (or a linen blend if you want a less crease-prone alternative). Breathable, lightweig...
I Never Thought I’d Stop Wearing My Favorite Perfumes Until I Tried These 10
A new pair of jeans or heels is nice, but nothing puts quite the same pep in my step as a brand-new perfume. From the ritual of that very first spritz to the boost in confidence to the influx of comments and compliments, a new perfume can’t be beat. But as we all know, finding a perfume that you love unconditionally can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. There are plenty of classics that are hard to go wrong with, but I also love smelling fresh and not like every other person in the bar or subway. And that’s where new, yet-to-be-discovered and now-mainstream perfumes come in. Even though new perfumes launch practically every day, not all of them are created equally, and not all of them are worth your hard-earned money. Below, I’m breaking down the ne...
Jennifer Lopez Traded Her Skinny Jeans for This Trending Style
If there’s a particular denim trend you want to see modelled IRL, rest assured, Jennifer Lopez probably wore it recently, so start there. From flares to skinny jeans to mom jeans, J.Lo doesn’t leave any stone unturned when it comes to denim styles. The latest style that she—and just about everyone else—is going with is low-rise baggy jeans (the opposite of the high-rise skinny jeans that were former favourites of hers). Lopez’s cool loose jeans are Frame’s Le Baggy Palazzo Jeans, a very wide-leg style with a low rise and a bit of comfort stretch in the fabric. It’s a great option for warm weather because, well, airflow, and the trend looks chic with a variety of summer shoe styles—J.Lo’s white trainers included. If you’...
PSA: COS’s Sell-Out Crossbody Bag Is Back in Stock for Summer
Listen up, everyone. I’ve found the perfect bag. Not only is it ideal for daily life—it fits your wallet, a mask, hand sanitiser and even a bit of makeup—but it’s also great for evenings out. Don’t believe me? Well, the good news is I’ve collected the evidence to prove how versatile and chic this bag actually is. But first, let me give you the details. It’s a leather crescent-shaped handbag with a thick strap. It’s smooth and pretty featureless, other than a couple of silver belt studs and a well-hidden zip. There’s no denying that it bears more than a resemblance to The Row’s Banana Bag, but it actually comes from COS at a much more affordable price point. It’s unsurprising, then, that I’ve spotted so many minimalist...

Kate Middleton Keeps Wearing These Anti-Nude Courts With Dresses
However, one thing that did surprise us about Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon 2022 attire was her shoe choice. Where Kate goes, her nude suede court shoes usually follow, but today, Kate decided to mix things up a bit, instead opting for a pair of cream slingback stilettos, complete with a black cat to the rounded toe. Our guess is that Kate Middleton chose the shoe to match the ‘40s feel of her dress—what’s more impressive, however, is that she tapped into one of the biggest shoe trends of the year. From Gucci to Chanel, and & Other Stories to Arket, slingbacks are integral to every footwear collection this summer. Now, with Kate Middleton’s seal of approval, we’re willing to bet they’ll be the shoe of occasion season. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. S...
