I’m a Stylist and I’m Straight-Up Obsessed With These Comfy But Smart Trousers
‘Boring’ as a pair of trousers may seem, the chic proportions and expensive-looking simplicity of the Frankie Shop’s versions make them stand out from the rest. The two main hero pairs right now are the Gelso, a slightly tapered full-length trouser that work really well with a chunky trainer or black boot, and the Bea, a slightly cropped wide leg that go with every shoe, from loafers to boots to sandals. In my opinion they’re just such an easy way to make an outfit look cool while wearing what feels like pyjamas. I’ve been wearing mine recently with thin roll necks and crew necks which tuck in easily and balance the volume of the trousers, then throwing a cardigan or blazer over it and finishing the look with a leather belt. For spring, I’ll be switching for c...
Are You a Maddy or a Cassie? How to Dress Like Your Euphoria Comfort Character
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. Maddy Perez and Cassie Howard have quickly become our favourite tag-team in “Euphoria” season two. The frenemies might share an on-screen love interest but they have very different approaches to fashion. Do you prefer Maddy’s vampy looks or Cassie’s baby girl outfits? We consulted the show’s costume designer Heidi Bivens, before curating your perfect character wardrobe. “For the costumes in the first season, I really tried to create our own world that was “Euphoria”, but also being grounded in some kind of reality, so that peo...
These Cult Perfumes and Candles Are Worth Every Single Bit of Hype
I think one the best things about the brand, which was founded in Los Angeles in 2015, is that so many of the scents can be paired beautifully; once you work out the notes that you love, you can kind of build a scent story through your living space. Don’t get me wrong the scent is strong, you don’t need to burn multiple candles but if you want to it makes the aroma even more captivating it’s amazing. Persnally, I love to burn Ash and Hinoki Fantôme at the same time for a sexy, woody warmth in Winter. However, this isn’t the case with the fragrance– I have three that I adore, but I have to wear them individually, they aren’t made to pair with each other or layer they are distinctly separate but last all day and then some especially on clothes, my home and wardrobe is basically a cacop...
These Days All I Wear Are Jumpers, and These Are the Ones I Love the Most
When it comes to comfort dressing, instead of jogging bottoms or loungewear co-ords, the cosy item that I wear every single day is a jumper or cardigan. It’s hardly a surprising choice given quite how freezing it has been this winter. Considering they are all I wear, I have been steadily building up my collection over the past few months, with a mix of classic, simple knits and more statement styles that make them the focal point of an outfit. Perhaps it’s seeing myself from the waist up five days a week via Zoom calls or the need for some colour as an antidote to the bleakness of February weather, but I’ve been neglecting the grey and navy jumpers I usually wear every winter and am looking for something a little jollier. My all-time favourite knit is a li...
J.Lo and Bella Hadid Both Finish Their Outfits With 2022’s Easiest Trend
Logo designer earrings certainly aren’t a new trend, but I haven’t seen this level of interest in the brazen jewellery since the ’80s, during which Chanel’s interlocking C’s decorated the ears of every well-to-do woman. Today, the trend is just as standout, with the likes of Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa casually donning impressively large designer-logo earrings for, well, just about every outing. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez keeps things refreshingly on-brand, opting instead for hoop earrings featuring brand names. The beauty of this trend lies in the fact that, yes, while you can certainly invest in new designer earrings from a plethora of premium brands—think Miu Miu, Prada and JW Anderson—but that there are lots of preloved and vintage designer-logo earrings to consider, too. Sc...
I’m A Maximalist but I Stuck to A Very Simple Capsule Wardrobe This January
I was wearing a feathered tank, velvet flares and seven different variations of chunky rings when Who What Wear’s Hannah approached me with a challenge – to sartorially strip things back for a week, and document my journey. ‘A maximalist, moi?’ I exclaimed. My partner guffawed, his eyes scanning my many shelves of bags, shoes and general frippery. ‘OK, so maybe I am partial to an accessory (or five),’ I conceded. ‘But how hard can this be?’ I simply needed to edit my wardrobe down to a few well-chosen pieces. And let’s face it; I was hardly devoid of choice. As I prepared a rail of monochrome separates, the reality of a week without colour, print or sequins dawned upon me. I eyed up my newly edited ‘capsule wardrobe’, including an oversized white shirt, cropped leather flares and a couple ...
8 Mini Trends We Expect to See Everywhere This Spring
This year’s ‘micro trend‘ cohort can broadly be divided into two camps: On the one side there’s the artisanal charm of colourful stripes and contemporary patchworking. It’s ageless, delightfully quirky, and an aesthetic that has been embraced by countless up-and-coming designers. At the other end of the spectrum, it’s all about the noughties: We’re talking graphic letter print, sultry corset tops and a generous splash of lime green. It’s an unashamed nostalgia fest that will likely have a marmite effect on the nation’s shoppers. Of course, there are a few styles that can be found in the middle-ground—think elevated denim and pearl detailing—both of which may already be sitting in your wardrob...
Arket’s New Handbag Could Totally Pass For Designer
When I first laid eyes on the bag online I could have sworn it was designer, so I went into the store to see if it lived up to expectations IRL. The answer? Yes, it did. Arket has managed to hit that sweet spot, creating a bag that’s utterly desirable for right now but timeless enough to hold its own in your wardrobe for many years to come. It’s one of those styles that will make every outfit look polished no matter which colour you have it in— which, in my opinion, is a key attribute to look out for when investing in a handbag. Keep scrolling to see if you agree with me, and shop the new bag below. Some of the colours are already starting to sell out, but we have a hunch this is going to be a hero product which the brand restocks often so keep your eyes peeled… You D...
I Just Tested the New GHD Thin Wand—These Are My Thoughts
Hands up if you have been scarred by a chopstick styler? The thinnest kind of wand is the most confusing tool to use because the finished result can vary from perfect loose waves to ’70s disco hair to tight coils, and the factors that lead to the end result are vast. So that’s why, when the latest GHD drop, the Thin Wand, landed in my lap ahead of its launch, I was dubious about what the finished result was going to look like on me. Last time I used a thin wand, my hair was shoulder-length and bluntly cut. The end result was a super-voluminous lob that showcased the best bit about my natural hair: the texture. Now, though still natural, I’m currently wearing my hair straight with super-long extensions, and I was interested to see just how this type of wand worked for really ...
Kendall Jenner’s Latest Look Reminds Me of McDonald’s—I’m Loving It
If you’re anything like me, your wardrobe consists mostly of varying shades of black, grey, white, and beige. Neutrals are neutrals because they go with everything, and what could possibly be wrong with that? But after watching runway collections drop their previously low-key colour palettes for vibrant, saturated hues—I’m looking at you Valentino, The Row, Chanel, and Prada—I’ve begun to rethink my strict no-colour policy. And apparently, I’m not alone. On Saturday, Kendall Jenner, who is also known to frequent more muted wardrobe items, used a lunch with friend Travis Bennett as an excuse to dress outside of her comfort zone, opting to pair a marigold-coloured knit from Who What Wear favourite Frankie Shop with a highlighte...
I’m a Former Goth—Now, 2022 Wants Me to Be One Again
What I always loved, and still love, about the goth aesthetic was just how inclusive it can be. There are so many facets to being goth—from those who take the more traditional approach to those who subscribe to the romantic Victoriana vibe. And these offshoots only keep expanding. For its annual Pinterest Predicts report, Pinterest revealed that all-things goth have been spiking over the last year. It read, “Welcome to the goth-aissance. Goth will make its way into the mainstream this year across all age groups—just not in the ways that you might expect. Goth business casual, goth baby clothes, and even goth kitchen décor are all rising trends.” I was particularly intrigued by the term “goth cowboy”, which is up 70% in searches on the platform. Now,...
Rochelle Humes Manages to Find the Most Expensive-Looking High-Street Pieces
Is it just me, or is Rochelle Humes knocking it out of the park with her outfits at the moment? The multi-hyphenate talent has been filling in for Holly Willoughby on ITV’s This Morning of late, and I’m now finding myself waiting in anticipation to see what she’ll wear next. This is made all the more exciting as she tends to find the very best pieces on the high street to inform her daily, on-screen wares, meaning that if I like what I see, then it’s likely going to be affordable, too. If you too want to dress as chicly as Humes does each morning, I’ve broken down her latest looks for you below. You’re welcome. However, with my interest piqued, I was also keen to find out how Rochelle Humes manages to find time to track down her expe...
