Here’s the Swimwear Trend Outshining All the Rest This Season
Thanks to the cut-out trend, swimsuits have been given a new lease of life. They’re finally on an equal level playing field with bikinis, if not more appealing. Many styles feature angular gapes on either side or flirt with the asymmetric trend. Brands including Peony and Sir have accomplished identical designs to their ready-to-wear collections, so you’ll find twinning dresses and swimsuits.

This Y2K Top Trend is Back, and It’ll Make for a Nostalgic Summer
Be it a halter neck, a one-shoulder or a puff sleeve style just like fashion influencer Lucy Williams in her Peony co-ord (above) it doesn’t matter as long as you’re flashing your back. We know what you’re thinking, what about a bra? There are so many underwear solutions out there now that, depending on the top style, you may be able to still wear a backless bra.

I’m a Beauty Editor—17 Staples I’d Put In Your Basket If We Went Beauty Shopping
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items. I can, quite literally, shop until I drop when it comes to beauty products. And, if you give me a shot of espresso or two, I can pick right back up again. Sure, I might spend most of my waking work hours ingesting everything and anything related to the topic, but get me in beauty department or steer me to the best online beauty retailers, and I can do some serious damage for hours on end. Suffice to say, I’ve become the preferred shopping partner when any of my friends or family have the urgent need to re-stock or replenish their beauty wardrobes. (A job I take very seriously, I might add!) With summer just around the corner, I’ve...
8 Jeans Trends Fashion People Are Living In This Summer
While many of us consider jeans a year-round staple, it’s understandable if you’re a little tired of wearing them by the time summer rolls around. Personally, I live in jeans during winter and spring, switching out knitwear for milkmaid tops when the weather allows. So by summer, I often find that jeans take a back seat to dresses and skirts. This, however, is something of an injustice. After all, which wardrobe item is as reliable as a pair of jeans? Whatever your sartorial dilemma may be, they’re there for you—all you need do is pull them on. So with the intention of showing them the appreciation they deserve this summer, I’ve charted the trending styles that’ll make you fall in love with your jeans all over again.

These Low-Key Luxury Handbags Say “I’m In The Know”
You’ll be glad to hear, then, that I’ve compiled an edit below of the best minimalist handbags of all time for you to peruse, just in case you happen to be in the market for your next purchase. Some are luxury icons that have already been around for decades, proving their worth a hundred times over, and some are newer designs I can confidently say have a lot of life in them yet. There’s high-end additions and there’s some more affordable options too, but they all make for timeless investments it would be hard to regret. At first sight, there might not seem to be anything particularly special or recognisable about these bags—but put any of them in front of a fashion person and, not only will we identify them a mile away, you’ll have us swooning instantly— waxing lyrical about the desig...
I Just Found My Next Under-£50 Summer Sandal Purchase on Sienna Miller’s Feet
I love a celebrity who knows a good affordable find when they see one. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Celebrities have their pick of just about any fashion item they want, so when they wear something affordable, it must be good. In this case, the celebrity is Sienna Miller and that thing is a pair of flat sandals that are perfect for vacations and city strolls (like in Miller’s case) alike. The sandals that Miller wore with straight-leg jeans and a sweatshirt are from Charles & Keith. They feature asymmetrical straps and a toe-ring loop (a trend I happen to love). I’d call them minimal everyday summer sandals with a twist. Miller went with the versatile cream iteration but they’re good in every colour. Oh, and they’re only £49. I...
7 Easy-to-Copy Minimalist Summer Outfits That Will Always Look Chic
It could just be me, but the older I get the more I find myself drawn to the minimalist side of life. Less is more, and all that. Especially when it comes to my wardrobe—rather than experimenting with trends like I used to, these days I’m investing in those classic pieces that I know I’ll want to pull out year after year. Yes, it has a lot to do with wanting my closet to work a lot more sustainably, and buying fewer better items that last is the first step towards that. But a collection full of elevated yet understated capsule pieces is also, in my experience as a stylist, the easiest, low-effort way to always look chic. This rings especially true in summer, when loud prints and bright colours are ubiquitous. There’s something particularly sophisticated about a pared-back monochrome ...
7 Easy Outfits Centred Around Basic Vest Tops
Fashion can often be distracting; bright colours, bold prints, and new trends can pull focus and sometimes cause us to overlook the hardworking basics our wardrobes need to thrive. In the past, when I prioritised statement pieces over anything else, I always felt as if I had nothing to wear. The appeal and shine on maximalist dresses or exciting shoes would quickly fade, and soon I’d be on the hunt for another buy that got my pulses racing. In the years following, however, I shifted my focus to honing my basics, and now, with drawers and rails lined with pieces that are truly versatile and interchangeable, I never feel as if I have nothing to wear. And one of the most-worn items in my wardrobe is the vest top. Tank tops, vest tops, whatever you like to call them, are having a moment r...
The 5 ‘Anti-Ageing’ Skincare Truths That Everyone Needs to Hear
It feels as though the beauty tides are really starting to turn. Over the past few months the way in which we approach our beauty routines has really changed—and I’m not just talking about the products we’re shopping. Forget the intricacies. I’m talking real, deep-rooted, institutional sort of change. Because for the first time in my career as a beauty editor, I genuinely believe that the beauty industry’s whole mission has undergone a shift. The anti-ageing myth is, I believe, no more. While beauty brands have always championed a ‘fountain of youth’ approach to their marketing, the past few decades have seen a particular focus on wrinkle reversal. In fact, the term ‘anti-ageing’ itself ...
Everyone Knows This Australian Label Makes the Very Best Summer Dresses
Often, certain designer brands will become renowned for particular items. Let’s take Loewe, for example, of course its basket bags instantly spring to mind. Then there’s Gucci, where the brand’s belts can be spotted a mile off. It’s not often, though, that brands have the power to become instantly recognisable just through detail alone, without any logos or branding. But luxury Australian label Zimmermann has done just this, and its dresses have become renowned due to the exquisite designs and feminine aesthetic. Founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, and since creating everything from puff sleeved co-ords to unmissable swimwear, sunglasses and shoes, the Aussie label is now a one-stop-shop for summer.
