Zendaya Wore Baggy Trousers With the Most Timeless Flat-Shoe Trend in Existence
Zendaya certainly knows how to command attention on a red carpet, but don’t sleep on her casual style. While her Valentino dresses and Bulgari jewels might be the furthest thing from relatable, many of her off-duty looks are unquestionably wearable—including her most recent. On July 8, Zendaya was photographed in New York City visiting the set of Tom Holland’s new series, The Crowded Room. Zendaya knows how to mix trendy and timeless pieces with aplomb. She wore very of-the-moment baggy trousers with two classic items: a black tank top and black loafers. You can never go wrong with flat loafers, as they’re one of the most timeless shoe styles out there. Scroll down to see Zendaya’s new outfit and shop for similar pieces. You Deserve t...
H&M’s Linen Collection Is Easily the Most Expensive-Looking This Summer
A few years ago, as I fell head first into my 30s, I made a pact with myself to try to be the kind of chic woman who wears linen all summer long. You know the type. Think Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton in every Nancy Meyers movie (goals)—the kind who floats down to the farmers market every weekend with a basket bag slung over her arm and a linen shirt billowing behind her. Okay, that part might be slightly more difficult to re-create while living in London, but the effortlessness of a linen outfit is something we can all realistically achieve. There’s just something about a linen dress, button-down or pair of trousers that feels so timeless, ageless and polished—am I right? And with the weather hitting record highs right now, I can practically feel myself being drawn to the elegance of...
Cottagecore Isn’t Going Anywhere—These 24 Dresses Prove It
Some styles come and go, but the really great ones return year after year to prove their sartorial worth. And this is exactly what has happened this summer with a particular trend. If the sky-high hemlines of the Y2K return aren’t quite your cup of tea, then you’ll be pleased with the latest news: Cottagecore is here to stay. For the past few years, this ethereal style has cropped up to offer a soft alternative to some of the more daring trends served up on the runway. It’s easy to see why we keep returning to this movement; it is nostalgic, loans itself to every season, from spring through to autumn, and looks just as chic on a budget. Inspired by a romanticised idea of country life, cottagecore takes its fashion form through delicate ...
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.

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’...
