I Just Tried on 6 Autumn Staples From the Coolest Up-and-Coming Brand
I’m always on the lookout for new fashion brands, particularly ones that manage to combine elevated design with a sustainable approach to style. So you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled across Aligne, a lesser-known label that merges impeccable aesthetics and affordable price points with greater transparency around how its clothes are made, from the packaging and materials it uses to its transportation and manufacturing processes. That’s not something you see every day. Having browsed the brand’s new-in section, I can also confirm that it’s is a gold mine of autumn essentials. Think slouchy tailored trousers, knitted vests, colour-pop coats and ruffled blouses—essentially a ready-made capsule for the cooler months.&nbs...

Tom Daley’s “Harry Styles Cardigan” Is Finally Finished, and Yes, We Have a Crochet Tutorial
On the eve of the Met Gala, Britain’s sweetheart Tom Daley started crocheting a colourful patchwork cardigan inspired by Harry Styles’s JW Anderson cardigan. Since then, the cardigan went viral on TikTok, and JW Anderson generously made the crochet pattern available for free online. And finally, Daley has completed his very own “Harry Styles cardigan”, sharing his DIY process on TikTok. “FINALLY!” Daley wrote on his dedicated knitting and crochet Instagram account. “This is the JW Anderson patchwork cardigan that Harry Styles was seen wearing! It took me ages because I have been so busy lately but so fun to make! What do you think?!” Daley also shared that he got his colourful yarns from Stylecraft, a UK-based stockist for yarns, knitting pat...
You’ll Soon Be Able to Shop Dua Lipa’s One-Shoulder Butterfly Crop Top
Dua Lipa is making a strong case for the return of Y2K style, and her favourite fashion item of the era is certainly butterfly details. After sweeping the 2021 Grammy awards in a sparkly Versace butterfly dress, the Future Nostalgia singer has consistently been repping all things butterflies — including jewellery, homeware — and now, a one-shoulder crop top that had us scurrying to find the designer. After a few hours of sleuthing on Instagram, we can confirm that Dua Lipa’s one-shoulder butterfly crop top is from emerging designer Masha Popova’s autumn/winter 2021 collection “You Make Me Dizzy”. The piece is part of a Popova’s first official collection since graduating from Central Saint Martins. The Y2K-inspired collection features sequin butterfly crop tops...
Amandla Stenberg Is the Voice of a Generation, so Listen Up
Although Alana’s vulnerability is simultaneously unexpected and striking, Stenberg’s version of the character is not a foil to Evan Hansen, the titular character and antihero protagonist reprised by the inimitable Ben Platt. Rather, Beck is a mirror, reflecting the usual coming-of-age trope: Appearances can be deceiving. “There are actually tons of people who feel similar [to Evan], and Alana reveals herself to be one of those people, even though you might not assume that about her,” she clarifies. The film, which is equally heavy as (if not more so than) the original show, debuted on September 24, but Stenberg and I caught up earlier in the month over Zoom. Between the New York Fashion Week frenzy and preparing for her trip to the Toronto International Film Festival, she talked with ...
Here They Are: 21 Chic Nail Colours We’ll Be Wearing Exclusively This Autumn
Whether you’re an autumn person or not, I think we can all agree that any new season is an exciting time to mix things up when it comes to things like your wardrobe and beauty routine. And I’m not saying you have to get completely new clothes and swap out all your makeup products for new ones—the cool thing about seasonal transitions is that tiny changes can make an impact, too. That might mean buying a few new items of clothing or accessories to mix in with your tried-and-true basics. Or trying out a new lipstick, eye shadow look, or even a new nail polish color. The latter is one of my favourite ways to change things up because it’s pretty low-lift in terms of effort and it can be a subtle change. Opting for an autumn-inspired nail colosr instead of your usual at the sa...
Finally, a Bag Trend That Is Actually Practical
From oversized crossbodies to roomy structured styles, there’s so much to choose from in the XXL-handbag stakes. On the high street, we would recommend checking out COS for big bags, particularly shopper silhouettes in both leather and smocked fabrics. On the upper end of the market, you have brands such as Dragon Diffusion bringing a luxury spin on the classic woven tote while the likes of Loewe and Chloé are embracing classic raffia and canvas fabrics. So many big bags, so little time. So if you’re in need of a bag you can fit everything except the kitchen sink in, scroll down to see and shop our XXL-handbag edit.

The Duchess of Cambridge Just Wore the Most Daring Colour Trend
One would never really describe Kate Middleton’s style as divisive or challenging. She is the Pied Piper of classic. She is the leader when it comes to lovely dresses and delightful coats. More often than not, she plays it safe in her favourite pumps and beloved trinket jewellery. It’s all par for the royal course, we know, but every now and then, the Duchess of Cambridge goes through a more daring streak, and when it happens, you can be sure that our editors become available to pore over every detail. Hot on the heels of a rather “wow” appearance last night for the premiere of the latest Bond movie, No Time to Die, the DoC followed up her stellar golden caped gown from Jenny Packham with another British designer today. Choosing a...
These 8 Mango Pieces Are Destined to Reach Cult Status, so I Gave Them a Try
We’re approaching the onset of autumn, which means one thing—I’m working on a new-season wardrobe refresh. While I can’t get enough of summer fashion and all of the swimsuits and sandals it entails, I always get excited when autumn hits. Layers are back, boots are back, and I get inspired to start dressing for the crisp days ahead. This time around, I’m getting a head start by test-driving some pieces from Mango. A favourite retailer among fashion insiders, it designs great affordable items that always reach cult status. The brand’s offerings always end up selling out, and it’s easy to see why. The pieces hit on classic shapes but also hit on the current trends. While I love shopping online, I find it challenging at times to...
I Usually Skip Face Powders, But This Is the Glowiest One I’ve Ever Tried
As I am an oily-skinned person, you’d think that I’d be obsessed with face powders. After all, their very purpose is to mattify skin, increase the longevity of makeup and basically keep all of that excess oil at bay until mid-afternoon at least. However, despite being absolutely devoted to face powder as a teenager (honestly, who knows how many Rimmel Clear Complexion Powders I went through in the early noughties), face powder has been pretty much non-existent in my daily makeup routine for the last few years. After talking to friends and family, it would seem that I’m not alone in ditching it. The obvious answer to our resistance to mattifying powders is that the last decade has seen an influx of skin-first makeup brands and formul...
