I’m Not Much of a Shorts Person, But These 10 Outfits Are Changing My Mind
When it comes to summer dressing, most of us have our go-to outfit formulas that work for our style aesthetic. I personally tend to reach for breezy dresses more than anything else when the temps hit above 70 degrees. While shorts are certainly a part of my wardrobe rotation in summer, surprisingly, I don’t gravitate towards them all that much. Perhaps because of their uber casual nature I never quite feel 100% put-together when wearing them—or, perhaps it’s simply because I haven’t found the perfect pair. My preconceived ideas about shorts suiting me have slowly started to change thanks to these exceptionally cool outfits I recently discovered on Instagram. These ensembles not only make the summer basic feel fresh but they’re also perfect for ke...

I Think Marks and Spencer Has Truly Amazing Shoes Right Now
Marks and Spencer can often be overlooked in fashion circles. However, in my opinion, you just can’t beat it when you’re looking for classic, quality pieces that will last in your wardrobe and don’t cost a fortune. There are certain areas that M&S really excels at—Percy Pigs, cashmere jumpers, bras and knickers and shoes. You might not think that the high-street giant would be known for its shoe department, but its flats and sandals always manage to be comfortable and stylish. This isn’t where I’d turn for statement shoes or a party heels, but it has an amazing collection of summer sandals and loafers. These are shoes to see you through long weekend plans and beach strolls. It has all the classics covered, such as elegant leather s...

Kate Middleton Got 2022’s Biggest New Blazer Trend for £50 at Zara
Two things Kate Middleton seems to love are blazers and Zara. (Same, Kate, same.) She wears both often. So I can’t say I was surprised to see her step out in a Zara blazer for a visit to a charitable organisation in London today. Middleton wore Zara’s Inverted Lapel Long Blazer, which is a mere £50. (Her white version is almost sold out, but it’s still available in a few other colours, so act fast.) She kept the rest of her look simple, opting for wide-leg trousers, a T-shirt, and court shoes. Sure, it’s always significant when Middleton wears affordable brands such as Zara, but my point in covering this look is the blazer trend she wore. We declared collarless blazers the blazer trend of 2022 way back in December, and lo and behold, we have Kate Middleton...

We Went Street Style–Spotting in London—12 Summer Looks We Really Rated
We’re firm believers that fashion can be a force for good. From charity auctions which have raised thousands of pounds for very worthy causes to empowering women to feel as confident as they can about themselves, clothes have the power to affect positive change in so many ways. This was evident when we took to the streets surrounding the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale held in Selfridges’s car park in Central London. The event, organised by Women for Women International, sees sellers from throughout the fashion industry throw open their trunks to sell their pre-loved pieces to eager, fashion-hungry shoppers. This, however, is no ordinary car boot. With pieces donated from influencers, editors, industry experts, high-end brands, and even celebrities, we’d go as far as to say it was the chicest...
These 6 Swimwear Brands are the Only Ones Worth Investing in for 2022
Just when you think you’ve got to grips with spring/summer’s many trends, it’s time to start thinking about swimwear. And like jean shopping, we know this may not be the most enjoyable task seeing as it’s not always easy to find ‘the one’.

Worth the extra spend, the right swimwear can take your confidence up a few notches with minimal effort—if it’s the perfect fit, that is. And this is why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight 6 swim labels we’re backing for 2022. Hunza G with its flattering stretchy designs are of course on the list, then there’s sustainable bran...
These 28 Expensive-Looking COS Items Could Easily Pass as Designer
There’s no denying that COS is thriving this season. It’s arguably the prime contender on the British high street for premium, designer-like pieces, making it a worthy brand to choose when parting with your hard-earned cash. You merely have to scroll through Instagram to see this year’s hero buy on influencers from London to Lisbon. The famed waistcoat-trouser pairing looks every bit as chic as its designer counterparts, and on close inspection, the quality surpasses all expectations. This year, the once-coined minimalist brand has taken the fashion world by storm with a fusion of saturated hues weft into its typically monochromatic stream. Even more impressive are COS’s many expensive-looking pieces. When it comes to well-considered designs, it’s all in the detail, and COS ...
