These Tops Go Nicely With Jeans for Those “What Should I Wear?” Days
A special top can pull looks together and elevate a pair of jeans to new heights. When I envisage nice tops, my mind goes straight to contemporary designer Christopher Esber. His sophisticated designs have taken the fashion world by storm. I’m in awe of his recently released cropped shirt with an interlocked-hoop detail. The combination of resin with tailoring is the very definition of a “nice top.” White tops with embroidered detailing look amazing with denim, particularly in the summer months when the airy voiles complement deep-indigo denim. Likewise, evenings are an opportunity to wear lighter textiles and silks that are soft to the touch. This season’s crochet knitwear also pairs well with denim, and I’m loving longer sleeves, which balance the effec...
7 Chic Outfits Celebs Wore to Jet Into Nice Airport This Week
It’s the moment in the fashion calendar that we look forward to most. Cannes Film Festival is upon us, and we’re ready to relish in the glitz and glamour of the French Rivera once more. As the festival is in its 75th year, we’re expecting to see some mightily impressive red carpet looks from top-tier celebrities, including Anne Hathaway and Kristen Stewart, both of whom have films that are premiering and screening during the festival. If previous years are anything to go by, we’re certainly going to have our fair share of couture gowns to gawp at. It might surprise you, however, that I simply have no need (nor, sadly, the budget) for custom Atelier Versace and Cartier diamonds. This is precisely why I always like to bring things back to outfits I can replicate. And of all the looks co...
Chloë Sevigny’s Sheer Wedding Dress Is Straight Out of a Fashion-Girl Fairytale
Congratulations are in order (again) for one of New York City’s original It girls: Chloë Sevigny, who, for the second time, got married this weekend to gallery director Siniša Mačković, who Sevigny shares a son with. (The couple first wed in a secret ceremony at City Hall in NYC in March of 2020.) Naturally, the bride—who gathered her closest and coolest friends in Connecticut for the church nuptials—wore Haute Couture, specifically, an almost completely sheer gown from Glenn Marten’s Jean Paul Gaultier collection, which debuted in January. Sevigny’s wedding dress was one of 36 total looks from Marten’s one-off collection for the brand and was styled in the lookbook with a voluminous, tulle veil that Sevigny wore for the cerem...
I Just Popped Into Mango On My Lunch Break and WOW, the Dresses
The best part about Mango’s current dress offering, though, is that most don’t play into the trends of the moment— instead they feel classic in ways and unique in others (and you’d be forgiven for thinking they were designer if you walked past them on the street). Yes, there’s a number of pretty floral dresses you can wear to everything from weddings to the park, but the prints feel more considered than generic. There’s also interesting knitted styles (cotton, don’t worry), out-of-the-ordinary silhouettes like maxis and cut-outs, and a refined colour palette ranging from neutrals to bold hues. All of which are features that make a high street piece feel much more expensive. Mango’s risks pay off, and it’s rather refreshing. Below you’ll see the twenty-five Mango dress...

Every Fashion Person We Know Owns Swimwear from This Iconic Brand
Like jeans shopping, swimwear shopping is often avoided seeing as it can be tricky to find the right fit. But thanks to the now iconic label Hunza G, the one-size-fits-all swimsuits and bikinis in a crinkle-stretch fabric are hugely flattering because it stretches to mould to your body. Loved my influencers and celebrities (including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kim Kardashian and Holly Willoughby, Emily Ratajkowski, Rihanna, Suki Waterhouse and Hailey Baldwin), the easy to wear material makes the task of finding well-fitting swimwear a lot easier. Originally launched in 1984 as Hunza, the brand created the iconic minidress Julia Roberts wears in Pretty Woman. The label was then relaunched 30 years later under the name Hunza G and is now so popular, you can spot the textured ...
3 Colour Combinations That Don’t Look Expensive and 8 That Definitely Do
It’s safe to say that no one gets dressed with the intention of looking cheap, but making your outfits look expensive—particularly when the pieces in question might come from more affordable sources—is another matter entirely. It’s easy to fall into the trap of “more is more”, assuming that adding designer pieces into your outfit equation is enough to guarantee a premium aesthetic. Often, it’s the simplest things that can make your ensembles look more elevated, and today, I’m going to talk about one of the easiest sartorial tricks in the book—colour combinations. Not only is wearing different and unexpected colours with one another a way of updating your look, but trying out fresh new combinations is something I like to do on a semi-regular basis to ensu...
5 Perfect Wedding Guest Dresses You Can Wear Again and Again
Luckily, there are a few options these days that involve more mindful consumption. First, you can choose to rent your wedding guest or big-birthday dress from destinations such as Hurr, Rotaro or By Rotation. Another option is turning to vintage or second-hand resellers such as Vestiaire Collective to give an existing dress a new lease on life. But if you’re thinking you’d still like to invest in a new dress to wear to lots of different occasions, the key is versatility. Find something that you can dress up and down, and you’ll get double the amount of wear out of it in the years that follow. Beautiful dresses shouldn’t just be kept for best, after all. The ability to wear something for a range of events and across different seasons i...
In My Opinion, These Classic Shoes Always Looks Superior With Jeans
Probably the most versatile item in your wardrobe, there’s no denying the appeal of jeans, but wearing them day in, day out can feel a little like Groundhog Day—particularly as we edge nearer to the end of spring. After wearing jeans exclusively with boots (or perhaps slippers) for what felt like forever, now’s the time to switch up your footwear for something more seasonally appropriate. although sandal weather feels imminent, to bridge the inevitable gap and, as a back up for chillier days, we suggest loafers. With the ability to add a polished vibe to any outfit, it’s little wonder that loafers feature in the regular rotations of social media’s sleekest dressers. You can thank Gucci for marking their return to the style agenda a few years back...
