6 Simple Outfits That Are the Epitome of Timeless
Whether you’re the kind of person who lays out their outfits the night before or you’re more of a “throw on the first thing you see seconds before leaving the house” type, it is universally acknowledged that simple fashion pairings are the key to stress-free dressing. Luckily, the minimalist fashion trend very much lends itself to the art of simple styling. It’s all about sticking to classic colourways, mixing in unexpected textures and playing with dramatic silhouettes. Anything that gets us back a few extra minutes in the morning is a win in our books. Thankfully, when it comes to minimalist style, there is plenty of inspiration to be found on Instagram from the likes of Alexis Foreman and...
I Went Street Style–Spotting in London and Loved These 13 Autumn Outfits
In the UK, there is no shortage of cooler weather. Believe me—I’ve definitely come to understand that since moving from Australia a few years ago. From late October onwards, it officially becomes coat season, and that cycle of outerwear as a necessity rather than an option doesn’t end until at least March. Though, what I love about the UK is that in this country, cold weather does not equate to boring outfits, and this month’s street style proved just that. Over the course of an afternoon, photographer Michaela Efford, video content creator Remi Afolabi and I set out to document the most inspiring autumn outfits we could find along East London’s fashionable hot spot Broadway Market. From patterned tights to check jackets, designer accessories and standout sha...
These 7 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Winter Wardrobe
Once the colder weather settles in, there are a few key things we can always expect. Firstly, on weekdays at least, we’ll be rising earlier than the sun. Secondly, we’ll begin daydreaming about open fireplaces. And thirdly, we’re about to start seeing a whole lot more beige, brown, and orange tones on the rails and in new-in sections. Whether it is because those colours mimic the hues of the changing leaves or simply play contrast to the bright colours we typically wear earlier in the year, there is something about this season that has everyone dressing in warm, cosy tones and timeless neutrals. It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that we know we turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. W...
I’m Totally Uninspired by Makeup in Winter, But These 8 Looks Are Just Too Good
I’m not sure about you, but when winter comes knocking I get lazy with my makeup routine. The minute temperatures hit single figures, any motivation I once had to sit in front of the mirror first thing and apply a full-face is totally diminished. If you’re asking me, it doesn’t matter how good the season’s trends are, I’d much prefer to spend an extra 10 minutes in bed rather than get up early on a dark winter’s morning to spend more time on my makeup. I know this makes me lazy (and a bad beauty editor to boot), but it’s the truth. This year, however, I’m feeling a little differently. You see, the events of last winter meant that my seasonal loathing for doing my makeup was defunct. Having no reason to need to apply my oodles of makeup (because despite my lack of passion for it, I col...
21 Winter Coats, Knits and Shoes We Really Love From H&M
If there’s one season that H&M really excels at it is winter. Perhaps it’s the Scandi heritage or the understanding of what makes a really good coat, but I always find that its strongest collections drop in store at this time of year. This week the weather has truly turned—it’s dark before 5pm and you can now see your breath when you leave the house in the morning. The only silver lining to this is it means that you can start wearing fabulous coats, and H&M has lots to offer in that department. When it comes to coats it has really nailed quilted and puffer coats, with oversized silhouettes which make everything look so much more expensive. There’s also some amazing shearling hooded styles and wool-blend wrap coats. As for knitwear, there̵...
31 Reasons Velvet Is Your Party Dress Fabric This Festive Season
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. Velvet always feels like the perfect choice for the festive season. It’s looks sumptuous, feels cosy (and in some cases, will actually keep you warm), and usually comes in rich jewel tones that feel appropriate during the darker nights of winter. The fabric looks even more decadent when trimmed with lace or studded with crystals and pearls, as many of this season’s best velvet party dresses do. You might have memories of wearing a velvet party dress as a child, but in the right cut, a grown-up version can bring sophistication or sex appeal to your festive ensemb...
Arket’s Second Jewellery Capsule Is Here, and It’s a Minimalist’s Dream
Known for its achingly cool and contemporary spin on minimalism, Arket has been a fashion-editor go-to ever since it arrived at our shores in 2017. It came as a surprise to no one, then, when it announced it was launching its first jewellery capsule last year, and naturally, the pieces sold out within a matter of weeks. Well, we’re happy to report that the highly anticipated second drop arrived this week, and obviously, it’s looking better than ever.

Celebrity Makeup Artists Just Told Me This Winter’s Biggest Trends
“It’s still all about the eyes and clean, fresh skin, especially since we’re still having to wear masks. We can still bring a lot of focus to the eyes and have fun with different shades, textures, and shapes. [Try] glitter shadows or eyeliners and stick on pearls and crystals to accent eyes,” says Loiz.

36 Blunt Bobs That Are Making Me Completely Rethink Having Long Hair
While blunt bobs are no doubt chic, making a drastic hair change can require a big change in your day-to-day styling routine. To help get to grips with the best way to look after and style a blunt bob, we asked International Artistic Director for Trevor Sorbie, Ryan Forsythe, for his top tips. “Blunt bobs are universal and can work on all hair types. It’s a timeless haircut that never goes out of style.” Plus, it’s a super-versatile style. “If you want a bob that is natural and low maintenance, try air-drying using Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shiki Worker to condition and leave hair looking healthy. For a more polished bob, I would avoid too much volume and go for a vertical wave with a mid to large curling iron for an undone finish. Use a paddle brush to smooth dow...
These 4 Jewellery Trends Will Always Be the Perfect Finishing Touch
Everyone likes to feel fancy from time to time. Especially now, when we can all really appreciate the art of celebrating again. Dressing up for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and even ‘just because’, has suddenly taken on new reverence; and rather than bemoan the effort it takes at the end of a working week, we’re now embracing those opportunities and languishing in the act. Yes, getting physically dressed in your favourite LBD is a huge part of that. But it shouldn’t be forgotten that one of the easiest ways to take an outfit from zero to hero is by adding some great jewellery. Every woman knows the power a flash of jewels has on even the most basic outfit. Take a simple T-shirt, blazer and jeans ensemble, throw on a pair of drop crystal earrings (and maybe some heels) and you’r...
5 Classic Shoe Styles That Will Never Go Out of Fashion
In the world of women’s shoes, I long held an underlying frustration with the lack of clean-lined, classic styles on offer. Men’s shoes always seemed to have this polished timelessness that I so craved from my shoe purchases. Why was it so hard to find a well-designed lace-up without all the bells and whistles? Then along came Church’s. The brand is hardly a new addition to the shoe scene (it dates back to the 19th century), but I didn’t fall in love with Church’s achingly chic designs until I discovered them on the feeds of timeless trendsetters such as Lizzy Hadfield and Brittany Bathgate. The brand’s shoes cover everything from loafers to sturdy boots. It really is a flat-shoe lover’s dream. You know that these are the sort of shoes that will tr...
The High-Low Party Outfits I’m Loving This Winter
From chatting to friends and colleagues, it’s become clear to me that after a long 18 months of sequin-free dressing, many of us are keen to get glammed up for party season. Of course, this will manifest in different ways for different people. For some, it will be going all out with a minidress and statement accessories. For others, it will simply be putting on heels for the first time in over a year. Personally, I’ve loved the unexpected “high-low” approach that has been cropping up on Instagram recently, which has seen fashion lovers pairing traditionally casual styles with unmistakably party-ready buys. I’m talking about sequinned tops with jeans, frothy frocks with track-sole boots and fancy midi skirts with log...
