We all want to keep the chicness levels of our outfits high, even when the temperatures are low, but the journey to fashion nirvana in the winter months is anything but easy. No one wants to look like the Michelin Man, even if they are in a white puffer coat. This, however, is why we’ve sought a little guidance from some women who know what they’re talking about when it comes to cold-weather styling. They might reside slightly closer to the equator than we do, but the French also experience severe cold snaps in the winter months. At least, those in the northern regions do. So what do French-girl winter outfits look like? We’ve scouted 10 stylish looks from nine of our favourite French influencers, each of which we’d happily re-create for ourselves this winter....
Dark mornings and colder temperatures: it’s what we all know is in store by the time November rolls around. But one thing that isn’t talked about enough is the trends that begin to land when winter kicks into gear. Just like every other season, winter sees an influx of new looks to try—and they’re not all necessarily puffer coats and woollen scarves (though such essential items shouldn’t be overlooked). Winter trends can be just as playful as that of their summer counterparts, and I have the proof. My job is to keep up-to-speed on all-things fashion, and that includes what influencers are wearing. And whilst dutifully carrying out my latest Instagram scroll, I noticed countless influencers wearing winter trends to very cool avail. It turns out this year’s colour palette isn’t so...
Just like she did in 1996, Gwyneth styled her suit with a delicate pale-blue shirt in a satin fabric, left nonchalantly undone at the collar, and a pair of red platform shoes. Even her hair and makeup looked remarkably similar—her lengths pinned into a relaxed chignon and her eyes defined with kohl smudged liner. To be honest, if it weren’t for the slightly questionable ’90s image quality, we don’t know if we’d be able to tell you which look was 2021 and which was 1996. Thanks, Gwyneth, for reminding us to think twice (and thrice) before we donate anything from our wardrobes. Should you wish to re-create her velvet-suit look for yourself—you already know it’s a winner, after all—we’ve rounded up a selection of worthy options to shop now, includ...

Kudos to the great British high street because it has been offering up some truly showstopping coats this season. And we’re not just talking about your run-of-the-mill offerings, rather premium-quality pieces that could so easily be mistaken for designer purchases. Case in point: H&M has just dropped the most beautiful wrap coat, and it’s fair to say that every single one of our editors has fallen head over heels for its elegant charm.

Leave it to Katie Holmes—the actress that singlehandedly blew up the internet when she wore a cashmere-cardigan–and-bralette duo from Khaite with vintage denim back in 2019—to debut the finest knit-and-jeans combo of the year thus far. On Monday, Holmes was spotted in New York City wearing what can only be described as my ideal fall look: a white T-shirt, Western boots, a cashmere cardigan, and a pair of high-rise jeans that fit just right. Like so many of the Dawson’s Creek alum’s outfits, the look was casual and elevated at the same time, which, I can tell you from experience, is easier said than done. The real winners from Holmes’s outfit are her jeans (which are mid-wash and straight-legged) and her car...
Gwyneth Paltrow attended Gucci‘s Love Parade fashion show wearing a replica of her vintage ’90s suit by the brand. Hosted on Tuesday, 2 Nov., on Los Angeles’s Hollywood Boulevard, Paltrow’s suit was inspired by one from her own wardrobe, which the star previously wore to the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. Whatever’s in the Goop, it sure is helping Paltrow age backwards. The star’s vintage red Gucci suit was designed by previous creative director Tom Ford for the brand’s autumn/winter 1996 collection. The suit worn by Paltrow for Gucci’s 2021 Love Parade show was designed by current creative director Alessandro Michele for Gucci’s 100th anniversary collection in April 2021. To confirm how iconic this look is for Paltrow’s wardrobe, t...

But for years, designer perfumes were all we knew, so we were prepared to pay the inflated prices. However, when niche perfume brands hit the big time and some of our favourite celebrities started waxing lyrical about them, we were presented with an array of masterfully crafted, lesser-known scents that didn’t leave us smelling like everyone else. And while specialist perfume brands such as Jo Malone London, Diptyque and Le Labo climbed the beauty ranks, our go-to designer perfumes started garnering a bit of a rep. What were once luxury treasures had become mainstream basics. More recently, however, our trustworthy designer brands have seriously upped their game. In fact, as some of our niche cult favourites become more and more popular, the fashion and beauty pac...
As a beauty editor, I sometimes have a difficult time deciding which products to try out and keep for myself. While the fact that all the latest beauty launches land on my desk every day is a total dream, sadly, one face can only try so many products. Personally, I find these decisions particularly hard when it comes to makeup. With skincare, ingredient lists tend to tell me whether or not my skin will like a product. But with makeup, the products I keep tend to be ones that appeal to my inner magpie. I like my makeup products to look just as beautiful on my dressing table as they do on my face. I also want them to feel luxurious and, most importantly, possess a certain je ne sais quois that makes applying them feel like a special experience rather than the rushed nuisance. And there is on...
Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for winter 2021. As we enter November, while we are no longer in lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably remain an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we’re jumping at the opportunity to go “out out,” chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function. The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on for a chilly November morning, but this year, it ...
As part of what we’re calling “the great shrinkage,” designers have been debuting looks that are getting skimpier and skimpier. The S/S 22 runways were no exception, where “floss” fashion was in full focus stringy dresses and tops with barely there floss-like straps. Yep, things are about to get even more naked come next year. The “floss” trend has been gaining more and more traction off the runways as well recently, with brands like Nensi Dojaka really putting the micro-trend on the map with their signature tiny strap dresses. Their pieces have carved themselves out as one of the cult buys among fashion insiders in 2021. It looks like the micro-trend has a long life beyond this season, with designers including Balmain and Sid Neigum embracing the tr...
