Zara’s Best Boots Have Arrived (and Celebs are Already Wearing Them)
That said, western boots have enduring appeal, too, and are certainly not a one-off for 2021. You need only look to Isabel Marant, whose western boots continue to be in-demand year after year—and not just in the winter. Western is one of the only boot styles that’s continuously worn by fashion people in the summer months, too, making them a year-round staple. Right now, though, I’d quite like to wear them, well, just as Emily has—with a pair of jeans tucked in, a roll neck, and an oversized blazer. If, however, you’re not as into the Western vibe as I am, scroll on to see the other excellent Zara knee-high boots that have just landed on site.

TikTok Isn’t Always Right—This Is Why You Shouldn’t Be Using Lube as Primer
TikTok has blessed us with many great things: mouth-watering recipes, killer outfit transitions and a shedload of beauty hacks. However, as someone who has dedicated her entire career to helping people get the most out of their beauty products, I beg you not to put lubricant on your face. As a beauty editor, I don’t shy away from being outspoken on pointless viral hacks, but I must admit this is the first time I have actually felt compelled to dedicate an entire article to one. If you have been on TikTok at all over the past few months, there’s a high chance you will have seen many videos with TikTokers showcasing the beauty hack du jour—using lube as a skin-smoothing, pore-disguising makeup primer. Yes, you did read that correctly. TikTokers are prepping their skin for makeup b...

5 Investment Jewellery Pieces That Rival Rolex Watches
Much like Hermès Birkin bags, Rolex watches are seen by many as the pinnacle of luxury and prestige, sartorially speaking. And just like its handbag counterparts, the watches hold their value extremely well, making them smart investments. According to The RealReal, pristine Rolex watches hold 97% of their value on the resale market, but they aren’t the only heirloom-worthy item worth saving up for. Below, The RealReal revealed five pieces of jewellery that are similarly wise investments. For instance, some necklaces from celebrity-loved brand Foundrae can be resold for more than they were purchased for—how’s that for proof that they’re especially covetable right now?

Paris’ Most Stylish Couple Decode How to Dress Like the French
If you look at any pictures of Vincent Cassel and Tina Kunakey, they are always draped all over each other with intense, smouldering eye contact. When I met them in Paris last month their love is just as intense and magnetic, as they slouched into their chairs, draped all over each other. This connection, combined with their Parisian sensibility and innate style, makes them the perfect pair to be a Kouples couple. There have been hundreds of articles and books decoding French style, but still there remains an unfaltering fascination and mystery. So I had to ask them why they think French style is so captivating and what it means to them. “You said earlier French style is about wearing something that looks nice, but looking like you didn’t do it on purpose,’ Kunakey says. “Yes it’s effortle...
Lady Gaga and Bimini Bon Boulash Are Among the Best Dressed Stars on House of Gucci’s Red Carpet
Starring Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani and Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci, House of Gucci is the high-fashion true-crime indulgence we’ve been waiting for all year. Premiering on Tuesday, 9 Nov., at London’s Odeon Luxe Leicester Square and on 24 Nov. in the United States, the movie is based on the book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed (2000) by Sara Gay Forden and is directed by Ridley Scott, with costumes by Janty Yates. For the quintessential fashion film of 2021, the red carpet delivered on decadent outfits and lots and lots of Gucci. Lady Gaga of course stole the show in a sheer purple look that channelled “The Black Widow” herself, Patrizia. We also loved Bimini Bon Boulash’s black-velvet one-shoulder dress wi...
Marks and Spencer’s Perfect Autumn Jumper Is Finally Back in Stock
There’s nothing that makes me quite as excited as the discovery of an affordable item that could easily pass as designer. This season, this moment came in the form of a jumper courtesy of high-street stalwart Marks and Spencer. Of course, good ol’ M&S has always been prized for its cashmere offering, but when I saw this particular striking ombre number, I couldn’t help but yelp with excitement. (It’s my job, okay?) Naturally it sold out within a week, but we’re happy to announce that it’s finally back in stock! Coming in a statement-making shade of red with a classic crew-neck silhouette, this jumper just feels so premium. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s impactful without being obviously “trend-led...
From Trends to Cult Buys: Everything You Need to Know About Knitwear in 2021
Honestly, trends in knitwear seem to have gone wild this year. There are so many of them it’s almost impossible to nail down all of them. But we’ve done it. On the runways, there has been an explosion of colour. Rainbow stripes from Christopher John Rogers and Chloé, graphic prints from Ganni and Ashish and saturated hues from Gucci and Aknvas. On Instagram, always a great way to discover new trends, we’ve spotted cut-out jumpers and cropped cardis, such as those from Jacquemus, indicating a love of a sassier take on knitwear. Lyst revealed that the biggest searches around knitwear include patterned sweaters (up by 43%) and polo knitwear (up by 24%), and demand for “matching knitwear sets” has also increased. Net-a-Porter reiterated that there’s a love of brightly coloured ...
I’m Expecting So Many People to Buy These Incredible Knee-High Boots
If there’s one boot trend I’m excited for this autumn, it’s a style that manages to walk that tricky tightrope between casual and sophisticated. This magical trend is at once super smart (and therefore a refreshing break from stompy track soles, even though I’ll still keep going back them, LBH) and yet still not so OTT or uncomfortable that I’ll have to compromise on the ease or daily wear opportunities. Enter the kitten-heel, pull-on, knee-high boots that will make every outfit feel a little more elevated with very little effort. I’m a big knee-high-boot fan, in general, so it didn’t take much persuading, but many in my existing wintry collection are very high of heel. After more than 18 months in the comfiest of fla...
The Crown Just Re-Created Princess Diana’s “Revenge Dress” With Scary Accuracy
Filming is underway for The Crown‘s fifth season, and the costumes promise to be second to none. Elizabeth Debicki, who you may remember from The Night Manager or The Great Gatsby, is set to play Princess Diana in her early 30s in the 1990s. (She takes over for Emma Corrin, who played the icon in the ’80s.) Thanks to paparazzi images, we have a sneak peek of perhaps the royal‘s most famous outfit, second to her wedding dress: her “revenge dress.” But first, a little background. Princess Diana attended a gala at the famed Serpentine Gallery on June 29, 1994, wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress by Christina Stambolian, a Greek designer who established her brand in London. Earlier this same day, a documentary aired, in whic...
I Took a Deep Dive Into Zoë Kravitz’s Outfits, and Now I Need These 8 Basics
If there’s anyone who has mastered the art of wardrobe basics, it’s Zoë Kravitz. The actress has been on my Pinterest boards and Tumblr mood boards for as long as I’ve been interested in celebrity style, and I’ve yet to tire of her simple yet effortlessly cool outfits. If you’ve been keeping up with all things Kravitz, you’d know that she’s been stepping out in New York (with boyfriend Channing Tatum, no less) in outfits that have been making the internet lose its mind—this editor included. While 2021 Zoë Kravitz is a total vibe, taking a look at her recent street style has inspired me to do a deep dive into the archives of some of her all-time best ensembles. After spending the morning going through tonnes of str...
36 High Street Winter Buys I Can’t Get Out of My Mind
The high street is always the first place I turn when I’m in need of a fashionable fix, but that doesn’t mean their appeal is fleeting. In fact, some of my favourite pieces that I pull out year after year come from the high-street, and this year, with some of the strongest winter collections I’ve seen, I decided to handpick items that I believe have staying power, but that will also bring your look up-to-date. I’ve whittled down what I consider to be the three must-see pieces from some of the high street’s biggest brands, which should hopefully give you an idea of each’s overarching aesthetic for the season ahead. From staples with a hint of trendiness to them to items that tap into the year’s biggest moments, continue on to see and shop the high-street winter fashion that’s real...
