These Top-and-Jeans Outfits Are the Lazy Way to Do Party Dressing
Ah, jeans and a nice top. Where would we be without this classic fashion combination? Usually our go-to for festive drinks and easy going-out ensembles, it’s certainly served us well over the decades, but last year, it took on an even greater significance as we found ourselves on the lookout for low-effort, sofa-appropriate (and dare I say Zoom-ready) party looks. When heels and form-fitting frocks were the last things we wanted to be wearing after months of comfy loungewear, a nice top and jeans were the perfect way to dress up with minimal effort and maximum impact. Luckily, despite the fact that the country has opened up again, this low-effort approach to party dressing is sticking around for 2021, and our favourite influence...
Zoë Kravitz Wore This Underrated Boot Trend on a Day Date With Channing Tatum
Who’s your favorite Hollywood couple right now? I know newly engaged Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are definitely one of the buzziest pairs around, but I can’t help but obsess over Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum. Photographed on a stroll in New York City this week, they looked like the picture of domestic bliss in coordinating cream sweaters. Kravitz’s outfit reminded me of one boot trend that I haven’t paid much attention to: front-zipper boots. While searching for shoppable products for this story, this style was hard to find compared to popular silhouettes like lace-up and lug-sole boots. That said, there are more than enough options to choose from if you want to copy Kravitz and try out the trend for yourself. Scroll down to shop her outfi...
5 Items That Aren’t Really “Basics” But Should Be
Whether it be for autumn, another season, or year-round, we all know the typical checklist for fashion basics. It includes (but isn’t limited to) tees, jeans, button-downs, trainers, and more. However, there are certain pieces not on those lists that—within my own wardrobe, among our editorial team, and throughout the fashion industry at large—are, at this point, so common and essential they’re due for an upgrade. Sure, they seemed just like regular trends at first, but when something sticks around long enough or makes a big impression within a short amount of time, it deserves to be recategorized accordingly. As you probably guessed, today, I’m here to show, tell, and sell you on six such pieces. From shackets to sweater sets, these are the cool, new “basics” every fashion person is ...
Gemma Chan and Angelina Jolie Among the Best-Dressed Stars on the Eternals Red Carpet
Marvel Studios’s Eternals delivered a very coordinated celebrity red carpet. Featuring Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, and Kit Harington, the stars wore neutral-coloured outfits with subtle sparkling details to attend the Eternals premieres in Los Angeles, Rome, and London. Angelina Jolie and Gemma Chan were some of the best-dressed celebrities on the Eternals press tour. Jolie wore classic floor-length gowns in black, brown, and silver while attending premieres with her equally well-dressed daughters Zahara and Shiloh. We particularly loved the simple black one-shoulder Ralph Lauren gown that Jolie wore to the Eternals photo call at the Rome Film Festival. Chan’s looks were definitely the most memorable. Chan, who plays Sersi in the film, wore couture pieces by Miss S...

13 Coats That Are Already Trending This Autumn
All purchases should require careful consideration. However, when it comes to fashion investments, it doesn’t get much bigger than your winter coat. First, they are expensive—especially if you opt for something cashmere, wool or shearling. You also want a piece that you will be able to wear for several winters and that will go with most of your outfits but still feel special and not too bland. In summary, we all expect quite a lot from a winter coat. As we approach winter, you’ll find that new-in sections are now full of coat options, but there are a few that really stand out as exceptional this year. Here, we have put together a list of the 13 coats that are trending, and for good reason, as they all deserve to be popular. This list ranges from luxury purchases, such as the most...

5 Ways to Wear a Cardigan Like a French Woman
In today’s installment of “how do French women look so chic?” we’re talking about cardigans. The humble cardigan, under the expert styling of the women across the Channel, is always transformed from being a potentially dowdy item of clothing to something pretty sassy. They have their ways, of course. There’s no denying that it’s not just a simple case of chucking it on and hoping for the best.

Anya Taylor-Joy Wears a Codesigned Richard Quinn Catsuit For Her Interview With James Corden
Anya Taylor-Joy is as fascinating as she is stylish. The Last Night in Soho actor wore a custom floral print Richard Quinn catsuit that she cocreated with the designer for her interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Taylor-Joy completed the look with matching gloves and a black headband with crystal details. “Her boots are a part of her outfit. I thought that was so cool — I’ve never seen that before!” Ben Schwartz said to Corden about Taylor-Joy’s catsuit that extended to wrap around her shoes. “You designed this yourself, right?” Corden asked Taylor-Joy, to which she answered “A wonderful designer called Richard Quinn kind of, let me, help, a little bit. Just ideas, but he’s lovely!” After a few cheeky jokes, and a giggly c...
27 Reasons Velvet Is Your Party Dress Fabric This Festive Season

These Are the 35 Best Products of 2021 So Far, According to Beauty Experts
Your best beauty discovery of 2021: I am hard to please when it comes to new discovery, however I have to say Fenty Skin Fat Water Pore Refining Toner Serum (£25) really had me gripped from the first use. Everywhere I turned people were talking about it, so I was a little dubious. Once I tried it, I instantly fell in love. I mean I was always going to love it (because Rihanna and Fenty never misses) but the product really works! It makes my skin look and feel juicy, especially on those no makeup days where I want to be dewy and hydrated. The under-£20 gamechanger: Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay (£8).
