30 Refreshing February Buys From H&M, & Other Stories and Arket
If you hadn’t noticed, it’s still freezing outside most days so there’s plenty of cosy layers involved below, from cheerful knits to new quilted coats. We can’t help at least *hoping* for the start of spring soon though, so we’ve also included lighter shacket layers and some great dresses that will work with roll necks and tights now, but will really come into their own when the mercury starts to rise in a few months time. If you are heading back to the office, comfy tailoring is king at the moment so don’t miss H&M’s newest wide-leg trousers or the zingy new orange shade of Arket’s best-selling hopsack blazer— perfect with blue jeans or black trousers and a crisp white shirt underneath.

10 Items That Will Make Getting Dressed for the Office Again So Much Easier
For many, this week will be the first time they are returning to the office in quite some time. Deciding what to wear on a Monday morning can be painful at the best of times, let alone if you’ve spent the past two years in leggings. The key to a successful approach to workwear is to have a capsule of smart, but comfortable, pieces that are simple enough to be mixed and matched and restyled in lots of different ways. You want to focus on ease too— shirts that won’t need to go to the dry cleaners each time you wear them and loose tailoring that looks put together, but not too restrictive. Below we have listed 10 items that will make getting dressed for the office a little easier, from a beautiful tailored blazer to a belted wrap coat to wide-leg trousers with a loose fit. It’s also impo...
18 Fresh Nail Designs We Can’t Wait to Wear This Spring
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. There’s no better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with a fresh manicure. It might not seem like much, but it’s a small, visual cue telling us it’s time to shed the old and embrace the new, and isn’t that what spring is all about? Just as we’re switching out our long jackets and cable-knit sweaters for trendy tees and flowy dresses, we’re switching out our dark nail polish and old, tired nail designs for something lighter and brighter. Luckily, we have a lot of inspiration to do so after we took it upon ourselves to scour Instagram for the best spring nail designs. From mix-and-match manicures to floral patterns and abstract creations, we found something for every...
8 Trouser Styles to Wear in 2022 (and There’s Not a Low-Slung Pair in Sight)
We’re a sucker for a new trend, and with spring/summer on the horizon (it’s no longer dark by 3pm, at least), it’s time to invest in pieces that’ll see you through the year. And trousers have been the talk of the town. The likes of Missoni, Molly Goddard and MSGM assume we’ll all be wearing low-slung jeans for 2022. And while we swerve this trend at all costs (circa 2011 Britney and Paris Hilton can keep these), we’re here to tell you the trouser styles we’ll likely all be wearing now, through to new season, and beyond. Jeans are of course still in the mix, with punchy printed styles and effortless off-white being key. Leather has had a colourful update, flares are part of the big seventies revival and wide-leg trousers are the...

7 Classic AND Interesting French Outfits We Plan On Copying In 2022
Pre-Instagram, we might’ve had to rely on fashion week for our street style roundups, but when it comes to experiencing global style in 2022, we’re spoilt for choice. Not only does social media allow us to see outfits of people on every continent at a click of a button, but it also gives us a chance to reassess the sartorial tropes that have developed around certain countries. One of the most well-worn fashion stereotypes has to be that of the French girl. This classic french fashion type is characterised by expensive basics, Breton tops, silk shirts and tasteful yet subdued occasion wear—all of which are embodied by the likes of Carine Roitfeld and Emanuelle Alt. While there are many who still love the traditional, pared-back aesthetic, Instagram proves that it is no longer re...
Hailey Bieber’s Makeup Artist Just Schooled Me on How to Get Fresh, Glowing Skin
While some makeup artists recommend applying concealer before your foundation to get a full-coverage, long-lasting finish, when it comes to Phillips’ iconic fresh-faced looks, any step that risks over-application should be avoided at all costs. “I prefer applying concealer after foundation to ensure I am focusing only on the areas that need the extra coverage,” she reveals. “I apply it with a brush and blend it out with a sponge, setting with a light dusting of powder.” When it comes to areas of concern, like dark circles, she advises using a colour corrector rather than packing on concealer. “Using a colour corrector under a full-coverage concealer will help to minimise the appearance of dark circles and brighten the under eyes are the same time,” Phillips reveals. Similarly, when it come...
25 High Street Dresses You Can Actually Wear When It’s Cold
Figuring out which dresses fall into which of these categories is time-consuming, as our Editor in Chief Hannah Almassi proved recently in this handy TikTok. It requires a lot of trial, error and effort, which is 100% worth it if it means figuring out which of the summer dresses currently hanging in your closet can be worn right now. But when it comes to investing in new styles, well, that’s where we can be of service. We combed the high street to find the best dresses that look great with tights and base layers, to keep you toasty but still feeling like yourself this winter. Our tricks? Look out for knitted fabrics, don’t overlook the mini (you can always pair it with knee-high boots), shirt dresses and V-necks always work with roll necks; an...
7 Celebrity Outfit Ideas I Immediately Added to My 2022 Mood Board
Winter is the season in which I almost always end up in a fashion rut. I just can’t resist the sweatpants calling my name. However, in an effort to get back on my fashion game, I’m taking notes from WWW’s favorite celebrities this season.

10 Fashion Insiders On the Wardrobe Basics They Can’t Live Without
Question: How does your average item of clothing qualify for ‘wardrobe basic’ status? I mean, what really is a ‘basic’ anyway? Yes, these are the hard-hitting questions filling my mind at night. I would guess that, were it a fashion quiz, you would probably get full marks by answering ‘a white T-shirt’, ‘jeans’ or ‘a blazer’. And rightly so. But I would argue that, maybe, a basic is in the eye of the beholder. In simplest terms, all a basic really refers to is an item of clothing that you wear on a daily and weekly basis, and something that acts as a building block for a variety outfits. For one person that will be a white T-shirt, but for another it might be a pair of c...

We may not know everything about what 2022 will hold, but when it comes to what you’ll be wearing we’re pretty confident making some predictions.

So, while the uncertainty of the upcoming months may send some of us into an anxious spiral (me? Never), we’re here to bring some sartorial comfort and help guide you and your wardrobe through the start of the new year confidently. Beginning with reporting on the fourteen most-wanted items...
Too Far: Fat Joe Get Clowned For Yeezy Moonboot Fit, Memes Flourish
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: @donnellrawlings / Instagram Fat Joe took to Instagram to show off what he thought was a fire fit that featured him wearing those YEEZY NSTLD boots. However, Joe Crack didn’t get the sweeping praise he was surely looking for. Instead, the Bronx rapper opened the door to waves of slander over his audacity to act like those glorified moon boots from the YEEZY brand are flames. Yes, there are people who think so, but please reconsider that decision. Anyway, the fit itself wasn’t too bad; denim, a khaki jacket and a pink hoodie. “Waiting on the snow” was Joe’s caption for the pic he share on IG. But those YEEZY boots got all the attention for all the wrong reasons. Some trusty Timberlands these are not. Soon enough, the photo went viral, and the memes s...
