These Beach Looks Will Have You Dreaming of Your Next Holiday
Whether you need protection from sweltering rays, a transitional beach-to-dinner piece, or a free-flowing frock, you’ll be pleased with the extensive cover-up offerings this year. Swimsuit cover-ups come in a host of designs and fabrications. This summer, aside from the crochet knit, the most predominant style is a silk sarong, which can work as a halterneck dress, a bandeau or, of course, a traditional wrap-around skirt. Cotton-gauze dresses are my favourite type of cover-up, and I tend to squeeze the most wear out of them. They’re suitable for hot temperatures and loose-flowing for maximum comfort. Caravana is an expert at this dress style. It produces organic-looking relaxed pieces crafted with an ancient Mayan technique. Alexandra Miro is another brand to watch. It uses vis...
I’m 5’2”, and These Are the Best Petite Summer Picks I’ve Found
As a petite woman, I can pretty safely say that I’ve experienced all the pros and cons that come with my stature. Sure, I might not be able to see over the crowd at a concert, but I know I’m the one having the last laugh when there’s always ample legroom on a long-haul flight or cross-country train journey. While there are some issues I have just learned to accept (reaching the top shelf of the kitchen cupboards is a losing battle), there are other realities I refuse to give up on. One such example is finding well-fitting clothing. Thankfully, with every passing year, there seem to be more and more options for women who stand below 5’4″, which, by the way, is a large percentage of the British female population, as the average height of women in ...
These Dress Trends No Longer Excite Our Editors—8 They’re Backing Instead
As someone who owns and wears a lot of dresses, I’m of the opinion that no dress trend is bad. Sure, there are some I wouldn’t wear, but I genuinely believe there’s a place for every frock, be it bodycon or oversize, subtle or saturated. This is something I’d like you to bear in mind when you read this story. Like every other piece of clothing or accessory, it’s common for some dresses to lose their appeal over time, especially if they once tapped into a very specific fashion moment. For example, I love puff-sleeve dresses, which are intrinsic to the cottagecore aesthetic, and I’ll always gravitate towards them. But as the saying goes, sometimes, you can have too much of a good thing. Although I know I’ll loop back into wearing my puff-sleeve dress...
The 6 Colours Arket, & Other Stories, and H&M Are Backing This Summer
It’s fair to say there are plenty of good things to look forward to about summer. Jetting off on Mediterranean holidays, listening to a great band at your favourite festival, whiling away the weekends in your local pub garden with far too much rosé… I could go on. But one quite niche thing I always really look forward to, is embracing more colour in my wardrobe. In autumn/winter I’m all about those classic neutrals which are easy to layer. But in summer my inner extrovert comes out, and all I want to wear is printed shirts, bold dresses and bright swimwear. Yes, tonal whites, beiges and creams can look really chic in summer, but there’s just something really feel-good (not to mention flattering) about a bright colour against sunkissed skin. In my expert opinion, ...
The Chicest Celebrity Outfits We’ve Spotted Court-Side at Wimbledon
Whether you’re a fan of tennis or not, there’s no denying that Wimbledon is one of the most exciting, and not to mention most stylish, moments in the British social calendar. The tournament will see the sport’s top athletes descend upon SW19 and consistently makes for some thrilling summer viewing in the process—something all the more enjoyable with a glass of fizz and some strawberries and cream to hand. The appeal of Wimbledon is so great that many top-tier celebrities will flock to take in the matches—and wearing an impressive outfit is part of that. Unlike Ascot or other traditional events, there’s no Wimbledon dress code that spectators have to adhere to; the only guidance is to dress smartly. This means we get to see celebrities wearing outfits they genuinely want to wear and th...

Victoria Beckham Just Wore Black Tights in 30 Degrees Like It’s No Big Deal
Victoria Beckham’s style should never be underestimated. Ordinarily, when she’s more likely to leave her house, she’s easily one of the most photographed women in the world. This means she yields significant power in the fashion industry and, thus, on our wardrobes. Don’t be fooled, however; Victoria is no clothes horse. She’s far from it. Her flair for styling is palpable, and the polish she puts into her looks is imitable. If you were to enrol in our (imaginary) Victoria Beckham style school, you’d come out on the other side as an infinitely chicer, always pulled-together kind of lady. VB’s fashion persona is nothing short of impeccable. She never has a hair out of place or a mismatched accessory. Sure, she’s powered th...
Wimbledon 2022: See All the Celebrities Attending the Tennis Tournament
Strawberries and cream. Pimms and fruit. Wimbledon and celebrities. Some things just go together, and as the tennis tournament gets underway for 2022, it’s time for some serious celeb spotting. Ready to cheer on British tennis stars Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu, we have already seen the likes of TV royalty Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, presenting couple Marvin and Rochelle Humes, and pregnant singer Mollie King sit in the crowds. We can’t wait for the stars to serve some ace looks (sorry, we couldn’t resist), and are expecting to see an array of feminine midi dresses, cute co-ords, and formal blazers over the next two weeks. Although, the dress code for the occasion has been causing some controversy. While the crowd are encouraged to dress smartly, they do have...

If there’s one thing I don’t have it’s plentiful time to get ready. As someone who always seems to be running late, I never have enough time to figure out an outfit. Following outfit templates has become my way of life, and I can’t recommend it enough. There are people who think up outfits weeks in advance and plan them out to the last accessory, but honestly, I just can’t relate. I depend on easy style that is quick to put together, and summer is the best season for uncomplicated outfits. Forget clever layering, summer relies on the bare necessities.

I’ve Been An Editor for a Decade—and These 5 Trends Feel Fresh Right Now
I have been a fashion editor for over a decade, and so have seen many trends and styling suggestions come and go. Summer looks can get a little predictable and if I’m honest uninspiring, but this year there have been plenty of trends that feel really fresh, but will still have longevity in your wardrobe. I’ve been careful to pick nothing throwaway or which I believe will have a sell-by date, and focused on hot-weather trends which will have plenty of wow factor for years to come. After a year spent inside in jogging bottoms, there’s a sense of adventure and risk-taking with summer trends this year, whether that’s a bold and vibrant print or risky cut-out placements. With a summer filled with events and travels, I’m all about adding drama into my war...
Alexa Chung’s Glastonbury Dress Is One I’d Gladly Wear, Field or No Field
After a two-year hiatus, we were more excited than ever to see what the stylish Glastonbury-goers were wearing, and as always, Alexa Chung has nailed it. Styling a vibrant blue dress from Pleats Please Issey Miyake, a Barbour jacket and Saint Laurent lace-up boots, Chung proved that festival style in a shopping-conscious era is all about hardworking pieces that can go from tent to dinner party and beyond. For years, festival dressing has stood apart as its own fashion category. But with more of us looking to invest in clothes that we will wear for years to come, festival fashion is looking a little different for 2022. Gone are the days of buying outfits that will work for three days of mud and music. Festival style icons—our favourites bei...
