20 Buys That Prove Black Tailored Trousers Are the Ultimate Staple
Black tailored trousers are the perfect example of how a classic item of clothing can be interpreted in countless ways yet remain versatile and timeless. One day, I might be in the mood for a more close-fitting silhouette to balance out a slouchy knit, while another will see me reaching for a dramatic wide-leg pair. This season, I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of low-rise black trousers. Granted, I already own a classic cigarette pair from Cefinn and a very fun ’70s-inspired flared pair from L’Agence, but I’ve been specifically looking for something in a slouchier, hip-skimming fit. Every style brings something different to the table. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined wha...
“Tube-Seat Prints” Are Having a Moment—Yes, Really
Outfit inspiration can sometimes come from the unlikeliest of places: a curtain fabric at your grandma’s house, a particular shade of green in the local park, a frilly collar on a faded family photograph. But the prints on the seats of the London Underground? That’s a bit of a curveball, even for me. Okay, hear me out. I’ve always loved the geometric prints that covered the Tube, whether it’s the metro tiles lining the walls of Vauxhall station or the colourful moquette checkerboard that covers train seats. Once you start noticing them, you really start to appreciate their retro charm. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Most of My Jewellery Comes From British Brands—Here Are the 9 I Love Most
When it comes to jewellery, I’ve always had a penchant for pieces that feel as special as they look. While I’m partial to a vintage hunt for a unique find, I also love discovering new (or just new-to-me) brands. And the ones I love most all have one thing in common: They’re all British. I’ve found that some of the most interesting and contemporary jewellery pieces are created right here in the UK by some of the most talented designers. It’s easy to spot some of the most popular brands on Instagram. Monica Vinader has already had Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski wear her collection, and Vashi, which creates its jewels in the shop window of its Covent Garden store—is already backed by the likes of Camille Charrière. Some of the Brit brands I’m drawn to, though, are t...
9 Stylish Dress-and-Boot Pairings to Try This Spring
As much as I love them and wouldn’t be able to get dressed on the regular without them, I’m getting sick and tired of wearing jeans day in and day out. Surely, I’m not the only one? This is precisely why I’ve set myself a bit of a style challenge—one I’m inviting you to join in too. Since spring is on the horizon, I’ve made it my mission to forgo denim for the foreseeable future, and instead, I’m going to embrace my favourite look of them all: dresses with ankle boots. Dresses and ankle boots never fail to look chic and will help you navigate any and every sartorial hurdle the season throws at you. I wear mine for work, dinners out, drinks with friends, on shopping trips—heck, just about anywhere that doesn’t call for something slightly fancier, like, say, weddi...
The One Pair of Comfy Heels Stylists, Editors and Influencers Always Recommend
Calling all Brides-to-be, wedding guests-to-be and, well, anyone who hasn’t worn heels in a while (that covers most of us, right?). If you’ve been searching for a pretty but comfy pair of shoes to wear on your big day; or you’re still searching for that one pair of heels you can pull out time and time again for every event— then, look no further. Loeffler Randall’s beautiful pleated bow heels are the style every fashion editor, stylist and influencer recommends when you ask them to suggest a shoe that fits the above requirements. I would know, I’ve worked in the industry almost a decade and I’ve been raving about these shoes to anyone who will listen since I first laid eyes on them some years ago! Back then, the Penny mule had just launched in a couple ...
These 42 Outfits Prove Victoria Beckham Is a Master at Getting Dressed
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 through many a highly documented fashion phase over the years. (We’re particularly into her LBD collection.) Still, since establishing a firm place within the industry’s top echelons, Beckham has proven time and again to set trends and the agenda for working women, mums, handbag obsessives, and pretty much anyone with a general interest in looking sophisticated. Of late, Beckham’s style has continued to flourish, and after collating a ...
32 Classic Items Our Editors Will Always Think Are the Best of the Best
Once, the role of a fashion editor was writing about new trends and what is coming next. However, we think that just as much (if not more) focus should be given to classic items. So how do we decide what makes it into our everlasting line-up? These could be from the high street or the most exclusive luxury fashion houses, but all have to fit within some criteria. One, they are of exceptional quality. Two, they are timeless and will be a worthwhile addition to any wardrobe. Three, all of our editors agree they are the best of the best. We have written about some truly special investment pieces, such as Chanel pumps, Max Mara coats and Cartier watches worn by royalty, diving into the history of the items, the icons who have worn them and how you can buy them today. But we also were...
The Only Handbag Trends You Need to Know for Spring
Spring might still feel like a while off, but there is one way in which you can start embracing the new season now, and that’s by way of a beautiful bag. Whether you’re in the market for a new piece of arm candy or simply want to brush up on the styles set to dominate spring, identifying the best of the bunch can be tricky—there are so many out there to choose from it’s overwhelming. But that’s where I come in. It’s my job to know what’s in (and, sometimes, what’s out) in the world of fashion, and having consulted both the runways and the intrinsic effect they have on social media, I can confidently say that the below seven spring 2022 handbag trends are the ones to know. After a few years spent on the back burner, because, let’s face it, fancy new handbags weren’t exactly in-demand d...
24 Bang-for-Your-Buck Beauty Items to Try in 2022, According to Editors
I’m a firm believer that more is not more when it comes to beauty. A bigger price tag doesn’t necessarily connotate better results, nor does a bigger product array. (Take it from someone whose skin did a complete 180—in a much healthier direction—the second I slashed my a.m. and p.m. routines in half.) Don’t get me wrong. I’m more than down to invest in an absurdly expensive perfume, but I have to love it so much that the hefty price tag will feel well worth the splurge each and every time I wear it. And it had better last me a long, long time. The same criteria go for other expensive products I love, like hairstyling tools, beauty gadgets, the like—each investment has to have a sound cost per wear, if you know what I mean. But alongside my favourite luxurious ...

So if you’re looking to emulate this elevated vibe, consider the below nine looks to be your guiding force this spring and beyond. This year, there are a few formulas that should be on your rada...
Gen Z Can’t Get Enough of These Hair Colours—and to Be Honest, Neither Can I
When it comes to Gen Z’s penchant for beauty, one thing that certainly can’t be disputed is how beneficial it has been for the industry. Gen Z champion a sort of carefree revolt against the beauty ideals that have held every generation before them to impossible standards. They celebrate natural skin and hair textures, welcome what were once considered daring trends with open arms and, let’s face it, elevated Y2K beauty looks way beyond what we millennials did the first time around. One area that I feel as though Gen Z don’t get enough credit for within beauty, however, is their trendsetting hair colours. Over the past few years, we have seen a huge uplift in variety of choice when it comes to our hair colour, and this is in large part thanks to Gen Z. Forget balayage blonde, bloc...
This Sell-Out Designer Bag Has Just Been Upgraded (and Restocked) for Spring
Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. First, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, the original Woody‘s body was constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust- or black-coloured leather, which flank the now instantly recognisable logo-emblazoned canvas handles. Not only does this make the bag practical, but also, you’ll be pleased to know, it keeps it on the more affordable end of the designer scale, with most styles coming in under £1000. Chloé’s slip-on Woody sandals were (and continue to be) a summer sell-out before the bag even landed, so it’s no surprise that the original tote flew off the shelves when it eventually did launch at the beginning of last year. Since then, the design ...
