I Practically Collect Zara Blazers—Here Are 26 New Styles I Really Rate
It’s almost impossible to think of a time when blazers didn’t dominate my wardrobe. Sure, I’d worn them at school. (I was probably one of the only students who dutifully did so and, dare I say, enjoyed it.) However, after leaving high school and enrolling at art school, they served no purpose in my closet. That was until I landed my first magazine internship in London. Unlike my hometown, which, at the time, had no Zara to speak of, it felt as if there was a branch on every street corner. As such, during my four-week placement, my love of Zara only grew and grew, and subsequently, so did my blazer collection. For the purposes of this feature, I decided to count how many blazers I have in my wardrobe. In total? Thirteen. And how many of them are from Z...
These 16 Comfy Basics Will be A Welcome Addition to Any Wardrobe
As fashion editors we can be guilty of neglecting the ‘sensible’ foundations of our wardrobe, and dedicating our attention (and spending money) towards more exciting purchases, such as dresses for weddings or party shoes. However every now and then our collection of staples deserves a little TLC too, whether that’s a new pair of leggings or loungewear that we will actually be excited to wear. The thing about basics is that even though they might be simple and practical, you need to pay extra attention to the design and detailing to ensure they will last and elevate your outfits. A poorly fitting T-shirt or sagging pair of leggings can really change the whole vibe of an outfit, and so can require an extra attention to detail. Gilly Hicks ...
Kendall Jenner Wore the Boots That Make Jumpers and Leggings Look So Elevated
In addition to, well, everything else that’s awe-worthy about Kendall Jenner, we can now add packing small and smart to her list of skills. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last week (or perhaps doing a social media cleanse), you’ve likely already seen numerous photos of the supermodel on a winter break in Aspen, both on and off the slopes. If so, then there’s a good chance you’ve seen something else: The pair of black, knee-high Dora Teymur boots that she’s been wearing over and over during her slope-side getaway. First worn with the teensiest of leather miniskirts, followed by an effortless sweater-and-leggings combo, Jenner’s ultra-sleek boot style is clearly becoming a&nb...

Observation: The Coolest Winter Outfits Involve These 6 Trends
Some people love the cold; others would prefer to live in perpetual heat. Me? I’m somewhere in the middle, in that I like dressing for the cold, but as for being cold? I hate it. That’s why I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to style myself through the winter months.

Yes, we’re calling it: 2022 is the year that shag goes super-length. “It is incredibly versatile for all hair textures and lengths.

It’s Official—These Were H&M’s Best-Selling Items Last Year
If you weren’t already an avid H&M shopper before 2021, chances are high that you probably are by now. Despite an increasingly difficult market to succeed in, the high-street mega-brand has only gone from strength to strength, continually wooing us all with affordable basics, statement sellouts, conscious collections and, of course, all those collaborations.

These 51 High-Street Wedding Dresses Look as Good as Designer Ones
I know from my own experience that planning a wedding can take months. You spend endless hours deciding what your guests are going to eat, what booze they’re going to drink and even which napkins they’ll wipe their mouths on. While this is all important stuff, it doesn’t really compare to deciding on which outfit you’re going to wear. Of course, the last couple of years had different plans for those who had their weddings coming up, and plenty of nuptials had to be cancelled as a result of the pandemic. But there’s one silver lining I hope I can provide for you. If you’re planning on getting married at some point, then you have more time to decide what you’re going to wear. And if budgets are smaller tha...
