6 Outfits That Prove XXL Blazers Are the Coolest Thing You Can Own
There never seems to be a great deal of logic when it comes to the shape-shifting nature of fashion silhouettes, yet one thing is clear: These changes always arrive as a point of rebellion from what has come before. Case in point: The oversized silhouette has had a long-standing reign over the runway over the last five years or so, manifesting in everything from smock dresses to wide-leg trousers. The oversized blazer has remained a particular favourite, embraced by minimalists and maximalists alike and translated in a plethora of ways by both high-street and high-end brands. Yes, we are starting to see the body-con fits of the noughties start to creep in, but I believe the XXL blazer has well and truly secured its place in the f...
Everyone in Hollywood Owns This Wardrobe Basic, and You Should, Too
“As someone who wears a lot of high-waisted and fitted trousers and skirts and is also short at 5’1”, I was repeatedly finding that longer tops and jumpers were ruining the silhouette of my outfits. I have a few cropped options, but even then, you don’t get the smooth line that a bodysuit offers. I wanted one that felt luxe and grown-up and flattering, which is precisely what the Wolford bodysuit provides—it’s because it’s made out of a thick, stretchy, and hosiery-like material, and with their expertise in undergarments and controlwear, it’s no great wonder that its comfortable and form hugging without being clingy.” Convinced? Me too. Scroll below to shop my edit of the Wolford bodysuit collection. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ar...

I’m 5’2″, and These Are the Only Long Puffer Coats I Would Actually Wear
Of course, we muddle our way through, don’t we? And over the years, my fellow petite editors and I have made an effort to record all the helpful insider tips we’ve learned along the way—like how to build a capsule wardrobe of petite staples or where to find the best petite pieces on the high street. Most recently, I’ve been trying to decode some of the biggest trends of the moment so that we can wear them as easily as our taller counterparts. If you’ve been wanting to try wide-leg trousers, for example, I wrote about that here. And if you thought it was impossible to pull off a long puffer coat, well, I’m here today to tell you to think again. I recently set out to find the best puffer coats for women below the height of 5’3” and was surprisingly successful. Yes, there are s...
Euphoria’s Alexa Demie Is Balenciaga’s New Muse
Euphoria star Alexa Demie, who plays Maddy Perez in the series, is fashion’s new favourite It girl. As glamorous as she is off camera, Demie created three custom looks with Balenciaga to celebrate the debut of Euphoria season two. One of the looks was a gorgeous black, strapless sequin gown that Demie wore to the season two premiere, and the other two have finally been unveiled, courtesy of the brand. “What I’m most excited about tonight is that this is one of three custom Balenciaga looks. You’re going to gag when you see the other two.” Demie explained to Vogue that her sparkling shoulder bag, as well as her sunglasses, are custom Balenciaga. “Custom, head-to-toe,” she confirmed. Referring to her gorgeous red fur-trimmed coat, Demie said that ...
The Boots Important Fashion People Have Been Wearing Forever
On the high street, Arket, Mango and & Other Stories have created some headlining heels, while on the luxury end, we are most taken aback by the boots from Paris Texas, Victoria Beckham, and The Row. In terms of styles, you can never go wrong with a tan leather pair. But burgundy, mock-croc and buttery cream leather pairs are just as chic. Snakeskin might seem like an of-the-moment trend, but even Anna Wintour has been wearing hers for years—proving these aren’t just a “wear for one season” mistake.

These 23 Dresses Are Honestly the Easiest Thing to Throw On in the Morning
We’re likely all asking ourselves the same question at the moment: What can I wear that is as comfy as loungewear but looks like I’ve put a lot more effort in? It’s cold and grey a lot of the time in January, and most of us are working from home, so the motivation levels are low. We get it. But the desire to feel put-together is still there, and there’s no better or easier shortcut to reaching that goal than a great dress. “But it’s winter!” we hear you shout. Yes, it still is—but most of the 23 dresses in our list below are cold-weather ready, or at least can be with the simple addition of a roll-neck, a pair of chunky boots and maybe some opaques. Then, come spring, you can toss these layers aside dramatically (or store t...

I Own Hundreds of Skincare Products—These Are the 15 I Would Never Be Without
When it comes to the causes of irritated skin, clinical aesthetician and co-founder of Mortar & Milk, Pamela Marshall reveals there are plenty of daily irritants around. “Pollution can take its toll on the skin, I have many clients that really struggle in London—the skin can only handle so much. Irritated skin can also just come down to having dirty sheets, so wash them weekly in hot water,” she says. Very commonly, however, irritated skin can just come down to overusing actives—something I can be very guilty of. In my job, I try countless skincare products a year for research purposes, and you better believe a whole bunch of them will irritate my skin. “The number of times I’ve had to completely hone down someone’s routine and it’s solved the problem is uncountable,” says Marshall. “R...
