Out of All the Ways to Wear Loafers, This is How Everyone I Know is Styling Them
There’s no doubt about it. As soon as the first hint of blossom is on the trees and slightly lighter mornings are here, we’re ready to hit spring mode. Seeing spring/summer 2022 trends flooding the new-in sections is enough to get us excited, and we can’t help but daydream about ditching the multiple winter layers. Until it gets warmer, though, we have to all ease towards the new season with baby steps. You know, swap your faux-fur coat for a trans-seasonal trench. Replace cosy cashmere sweaters in favour of lighter, fine knits. And then there are the boots. While we’ve loved wearing everything from chunky Chelsea boots to glossy heeled knee-highs for the cooler months, we’re ready to embrace all the new shoe trends. Enter loafers. While we’re not quite ready to show off our fres...
Hailey Bieber Wore the Comfortable Legging Trend Everyone Should Own
Let me just say that Hailey Bieber has really been inspiring the masses with her legging outfits lately. The Pilates-loving model has been busy wearing trendy spring shoes, crew socks, It trainers and half-zip hoodies with leggings, and I’m consistently here to tell you about it. But this time, I’m here to talk about her actual leggings. Earlier this week, Bieber wore the most chill of legging outfits, and it’s hard to not want to be wearing it the second you lay eyes on it. With her oversized sweatshirt, crew socks (per usual) and furry slides, she wore a pair of lounge leggings by celeb-favourite brand Alo Yoga. Lounge leggings are basically extra soft, stretchy and comfortable enough to sleep in. You can also work out in them, but you certainly don&...
Trust Us, These 5 Jeans Trends are Already Making Waves in 2022
This year I decided I want to wear what I own more often. It may sound silly, because of course we wear our own clothes, but what I mean is I feel as though I’ve neglected some of my much-loved pieces over the past couple of years. So with this in mind, I had a try-it-on session at home, digging out some of my trusty favourites. While some gems were found (hello, vintage Dior jacket I had forgotten about), when it came to denim, I realised my initial plan failed. My favourite H&M jeans I wore on heavy rotation throughout 2018 and 2019 split (literally) at the seams when I tried to put them on. And the rest of my denim collection didn’t quite make me feel good anymore. And there’s nothing worse than ill-fitting, tight denim to put a dampener on how you feel about an outfit. S...
The 2022 Guide to Looking Expensive: 9 Easy Formulas That Work Every Time
It’s a tale as old as time, but it rings true: You don’t have to spend a lot on your outfit for it to look elevated and expensive. Whether it’s a specific colour to tap into, a styling trick to try, or a trendy basic to incorporate, I’ll rarely pass up the opportunity to share our favourite ways to achieve that luxe look. Since I know you’re curious about how to create this effect with minimal effort and/or funds, I thought I’d compile some of the best expensive-looking outfits out there into one useful guide. 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 r...
Gen Z Can’t Get Enough of These Hair Colours—And to Be Honest Neither Can We
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 first time around. One area that I feel as though Gen Z don’t get enough credit for within beauty, however, is their trend-setting 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 balayaged blonde, bloc...
We’re Creating a Sustainable Collection, and We Need You to Design It With Us
You might have sensed that we like fashion. Scrap that—we LOVE fashion. Fashion is our everything! Getting dressed should be a joy, and one of the things that’s makes us happiest is finding a (somewhat rare) sustainable, affordable fashion gem. We’re big fans here of shopping vintage, hiring fancy outfits for big events and rewearing the heck out of everything we buy (so much so that we have an entire franchise dedicated to finding out how our favourite influencers and experts get the most of our their clothes) but, in general, there’s a lot more that the sustainable affordable fashion market could offer, and that’s where we’re deciding to step in. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dat...
I’m a Stylist, & These Are the Tops I Always Tell Clients to Wear With Trousers
The general theory I stick to is if you’re going loose on the bottom, keep it more streamlined up top. So things like Arket’s merino roll-neck and crew-neck are going to be your heroes with wide-leg trousers. They work really well alone, or you can always layer over knitted vests or matching suit blazers. Having a fitted base will just maintain that polish. In summer, switch roll-necks for ribbed vests, which offer the same proportions, and for a more casual look, a simple, fresh T-shirt (Arket, again, does my favourite one) will always work. Following those same principles, classic looser button-down shirts look great with slimmer-fitting pant styles like tapered or skinny ones, but they’re the one exception to the rule when it comes to wide-leg trousers. Since th...
The Best Outfits From “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World”, From Jimbo to Jujubee
Once again, “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” has become one of the main TV highlights of our week. This time, though, it’s the new international series, “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World”, that airs every Tuesday on BBC Three. Whether it’s the important discussions that take place in the work room, the catty remarks following RuPaul and Michelle Visage’s critiques, or the dazzling celebrity judges (we see you, Jade Thirlwall), each week on “Drag Race” so far has proven itself to be a seriously compelling watch. Most compelling of all, however, are the incredible outfits the queens sashay down the runway in each week. Each episode sees the nine contestants completing a number of difficult challenges that all involve serving some ser...
Roksanda Debuts Its First Haute Couture NFT at London Fashion Week (and It’s £25)
You’ve probably heard a lot about NFTs lately, and whether or not you’re a whiz at Web 3.0 just yet, the Metaverse is here to stay. An NFT (nonfungible token) is a unique digital asset that can be bought, sold, and traded in the emerging virtual world — and British ready-to-wear designer Roksanda is the first to debut metafashion at London Fashion Week. Roksanda partnered with London Fashion Week’s principal sponsor Clearpay to bring metafashion to the catwalk. Working closely with the Institute of Digital Fashion, the finale look for Roksanda’s February 2022 collection will also be available as a demi-couture NFT. Launching on Monday, 21 Feb., the digital version of the finale dress will include an AR (augmented reality) function where customers can “try on&#...
13 Items That Are Reaching Cult Status This Month
Fashion month has understandably been very subdued over the past two years. However, this season, more designers have been showing their collections in person. More events mean more guests and in turn more street style images for us to pore over. It is still such a treat to see people having fun with their clothes again, experimenting with innovative styling moves and dressing up. What buyers, editors and industry insiders wear outside the shows now has almost as much impact on how people dress as the runways do. Instead of a preview of what will be coming in six months’ time, these are styling ideas that can be copied and items that can be purchased right now. Every season, we create this Shop the Street story, which is a wish list inspired by the items we see over fashion month. So...
5 Feel-Good Colours Set to Take Over Your Social Feeds This Spring
If you had any doubt over whether bright colours were going to be big in 2022, a quick browse of MyTheresa’s new-in section is sure to clear things up. Against the beiges, browns and creams that have prevailed in recent seasons, this season’s explosion of rainbow brights is certainly hard to miss. Of course, we have no doubt that the Totêmes and The Rows of this world will continue to champion the power of neutrals, and there is certainly a time and place for these classic pieces. But for many of us, it’s been refreshing to embrace something new this season, a very fashionable reflection of spring 2022’s joyful mood. (Here’s hoping, anyway.) You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begin...
Trust Me– These 9 Hair Colour Removers Will Erase Any At-Home Disaster
If you had your colour done by a professional in salon, I promise you it’s always better to go back to the salon to correct things. They’ll know the formulas needed to balance the tones and how to effectively strip the previous colour if needed, without causing irreparable damage. Hair colour will always fade over time even done professionally due to environmental and styling damage that can occur, so make sure you top your colour up by using a colour conditioner or clear gloss every few washes alongside your care regimen. “There are multiple things you can do at home if you’re not happy with your colour between appointments,” says Tyson Grant, Owner and Creative Director at Forbici Knightsbridge. He recommends the Moroccanoil colour care range to his clients for at-home care. “We als...
