We Can’t Help But Be Obsessed With These New Logo Tights
You might instinctively dismiss designer logo tights as fashion folly, or they may be right there at the top of your wish list. We get it, they’re a divisive item, but today we’re here to argue in their defense. Because it’s been almost two years since Chanel debuted their now-ubiquitous CC tights on the catwalk and we’re still obsessed with them. Statement hosiery has been a part of Alessandro Michelle’s signature layered looks at Gucci since the early days of his reign as creative director. What we’re saying is this ‘trend’ has some serious legs— pun intended. The latest incarnation sweeping across fashion circles is Gucci’s GG monogram tights and we have to say we can’t help but be here for it. Tights may seem like an afterthought accessory— somethin...
Kendall Jenner Wore the Blazer Outfit Trend That’ll Never Look Dated
As the saying (kind of) goes, new year, new Kendall Jenner outfits. We aren’t even a week in, and Jenner’s 2022 style has already left us with much to aspire to. For her latest look, she seemingly looked backward, as it’s an outfit trend that has been cool for years and will continue to be. It’s one you’ve seen time and again and have probably even worn yourself. Jenner’s timeless look consisted of an oversize blazer over a white T-shirt, straight-leg jeans, and block-heel ankle boots. For a cool twist, she layered a white button-down shirt (unbuttoned) over the tee. The look is decidedly French-girl chic (especially since the blazer is from favourite French brand Sandro) and would look just as appropriate on the streets of Paris as ...
21 Timeless Designer Knits You’ll Never Regret Investing In
The past few years have been an odd time for fashion, but it’s during this period that we have acquired newfound respect for the comforting clothes that were often overlooked in our wardrobes. Joggers are one such item, as are leggings, but if there’s one piece that has sparked joy and brought literal warmth into our lives these last few seasons, it’s knitwear. Hero knits are nothing new. We’ve seen everything from Kenzo’s tiger-embroidered sweaters to Khaite’s cashmere bradigan reach their respective cult statuses almost a decade apart, but right now, the demand for designer knitwear is at an all-time high. In 2020, shopping app Lyst reported a spike in searches for knitwear—a rise of 32% year on year. Fast-forward to this very ...
I’m a Beauty Editor—These Are the 7 Things I’m Spending My Money on This Year
One of the questions I get asked the most is What are the most important skincare products? And while this question doesn’t sit particularly well with me (when it comes to specific product recommendations, they’re different for everybody), I do appreciate that when we’re all strapped for time and cash, it’s really all anybody wants to know. While I’m still going to need to test and trial products for work, when it comes to my skincare mainstays, I’m switching things up. In a bid to definitively answer beauty’s million-pound question, I’m vowing to clear out my stash and just use the products that really are the most important. Before we get into this, I would like to highlight that just because I am “getting rid” of certain products in my main line-up doesn’t mean I’m ditching them al...

It’s Hard to Find Amazing Plus-Size Coats, but I Just Found So Many Great Ones
As winter rolled around, the fashion chat amongst my friends turned to how this winter would be the winter of the “Great Coat.” They were excited to wear all the fabulous coats they had seen and mentally added to their rental or shopping lists. Whereas I was left thinking, WHERE EXACTLY ARE THESE GOOD COATS?! I should probably tell you that I’m the only plus-size person in this friendship group, which explains a lot. All these dream coats are made by brands that don’t make clothes in my size. In fact, most of them stop short at about four sizes smaller than what I wear, so squeezing in, or hoping they were a bit oversized, was out of the question too. I took my frustration at these brands for not making my size and channeled it into my search for a coat that would fit me. So what makes a “...

How Mim Nervo Gets Her Badass Mohawk: A Step-By-Step Guide
For most DJs, a signature visual brand means so much more than just a helmet or a telltale logo. In fact, these hallmark features tend to become more than representative of an artist—they’re synonymous. So goes the story of Mim Nervo, one half of Australian sister duo NERVO, whose trademark mohawk has taken on a life of its own. Mim’s hair has become one of the biggest personalities in the electronic game. It’s been blue, it’s been blonde, and it’s always paired with a kickass outfit. But what makes Mim’s mohawk so impressive is its stability. Pyrotechnics, head-banging, sweaty DJ sets under the sun—you name it, and this hair has survived it. How in the heck is that even possible, you may ask? Mim has provided us with an exclusi...
I Can’t Stand It When People Say These 7 Things About Styling
Anyone who watched What Not to Wear back in the early noughties will be familiar with the idea of “fashion rules.” For me, it instantly summons a vision of Trinny and Susannah circling their subject in the infamous 360-degree mirror, calling out well-rehearsed style dictats: “Women with big boobs should never ever wear smock tops,” “Under 5’4″? Step away from the maxi dresses.” Fast-forward almost 20 years and, thankfully, conversations around size diversity, “age-appropriate” dressing and sartorial dos and don’ts have progressed, allowing a new generation to experiment with fashion without the confines of arbitrary rules.

The Jacket Style I’ll Always Love, Whether It’s “in Fashion” or Not
Have you ever flicked through a fashion magazine only to be informed that your most treasured item of clothing is now, in fact, “old news”? It’s as if the mere turning of time, and creation of new trends, results in the obsolescence of everything that has come before. Nope, it doesn’t make sense to me, either. I believe it takes real confidence to wear what you want to wear, regardless of its relevance (or irrelevance) to the current fashion cycle, which is why I decided to write about my love of the biker jacket, which has remained steady over the years, regardless of fluctuating trends. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get t...
Tendril Braids Are Our Favourite Hair Trend Right Now—Here’s All the Inspo
We’re not sure about you, but whenever the New Year rolls around, we find ourselves searching high and low for new hairstyle inspiration. Something about the winter months just seems to make hairstyling particularly tricky. From matting winds and drying central heating to hat hair and messy updos, trying to get your hair to do anything right in these cold climes is no mean feat. This winter, we’re on the lookout for slightly more interesting ways to style our hair—something low-key, wearable and easy enough to execute, yet something different enough to break up our boring winter hair cycles (wash, style, gets greasy, throw it up in a bun, repeat). One trend garnering traction at the moment is tendril braids, and they just might answer our winter hair prayers. Super-fine statemen...
We Identified the 9 It Nail Colours for 2022, and Yep, They’re Ridiculously Good
I don’t know about you, but I never get nail fatigue. In fact, as much as I love buying new makeup, switching up my skincare routine or trying something different with my hair, shifting my nail MO reigns supreme. Painting my nails has become my happy place, and while I absolutely love the boost a shiny new colour gives my mood and confidence, the actual process of painting my nails—or even going to the salon—is one of my favourite ways to wind down and turn the world off for a second. You know what I mean? I don’t typically buy into trends when it comes to my mani of choice (I’ll paint my nails any hue I damn well please, thank you very much), but that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in finding out which nail colours will pop more than others in...
