I Just Tried On all the Best Bits From H&M’s Coolest Designer Collab Yet
I won’t be the first person to say this, but time has taken on a strange quality over the last 12 months. It was only 5 months ago that I tried on H&M’s show-stopping Simone Rocha collaboration (which, unsurprisingly, went on to be a sellout success), but it’s fair to say that it feels like a lifetime ago. So, I couldn’t quite believe it when I found out that the high street brand’s next big designer collab was imminent and, naturally, I had to be the first to get a sneak peek. Oh hello, H&M x Toga Archives. As per usual H&M has opted for a brand that will, most likely, not be known by the masses, but is sure to get fashion-lovers’ hearts racing and is sure to deliver&...
Mark My Words: This Anti–Skinny Jean Trend Is Coming Back in 2021
If I opened your denim drawer right now, I bet I could guess some of the key silhouettes stored inside—straight-leg jeans, skinnies and perhaps even an of-the-moment outlier like the “grandpa” cut. But what’s one style that probably hasn’t surfaced to the top of the pile as much lately? Flares. Sure, cropped flares have been, well, cropping up over the last few years, but the more polarising bootcut and bell-bottom styles (aka anti–skinny jeans) haven’t been as popular… until recently. Designers from Alberta Ferretti to Dior reintroduced fresh flare jeans in their autumn/winter 2021 collections as the next It denim pick for the forward set. And celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie and Harry Styles have already been following suit in ’...
I’m a Modest Dresser—Here’s What I’m Shopping (and Wearing) for Autumn
As a modest dresser, autumn just happens to be my favorite season. While I’ve figured out the formula to layering in the warmer months, I love the ease of throwing on a blazer or cardigan without having to worry about sweating. While I like to add a few trendy pieces to my closet each season, it’s the staples that I’ve been prioritizing. I keep them on rotation more often, and they make my more out-there pieces much easier to style. If you’re someone who is always down for a statement piece, it’s important to invest in simple items that you can style your fun pieces around. It’s all about balance. Below, I’ve rounded up the items that I’ve been shopping (and wearing) as September approaches. I’ve included a vari...
This is Officially the Cosiest Coat Trend of 2021
We’ve all been there: It’s 7 a.m. on a Tuesday morning and the autumnal chill is starting to creep in, which makes leaving your bed that little bit more difficult. All you want to do at this point is roll to your desk (whether it’s in your living room or IRL office) cocooned in your duvet, slipper-clad and clutching a mug of tea. Sadly, this is never really going to be a socially acceptable way to attend a meeting, Zoom-based or otherwise, but I am happy to tell you that one of this season’s biggest coat trends is not a million miles away from this dream scenario.

I Was Totally Over Blush Until I Tried This Powder
While some people have seen the last year or so as an opportunity to ditch their usual makeup routines for something more low-maintenance, I have taken an entirely different approach. Over the last 18 months, I’ve been experimenting with new eye-shadow looks and hairstyles and rediscovering my love for all of those overlooked beauty products that were starting to collect dust. At the same time, I’ve even added new steps to my makeup routine, including applying foundation, concealer, bronzer and, more recently, blush. Sure, blush had been a part of my beauty routine in the past, but after I discovered Glossier’s Cloud Paint, I called off my search for the perfect blush. But with so many recent blush launches (not to mention all the TikTok users posting their favorites), I ...

The Classic Print That Fashion People Always Come Back To
On paper, polka dots are the perfect print for my aesthetic. I seldomly wear bright colours and tend to gravitate towards more classic pieces. So given the fact that polka dots usually come in monochromatic palettes and are largely considered timeless, you’d think I would take to them naturally. But for some reason, I’ve just never been into spots. Looking back to my school days, I think my year-11 performance in Grease, for which I wore a polka-dot circle skirt complete with poodle embroidery, has something to do with my reluctance to wear the pattern today. Since then, I’ve always found it a bit twee and, well, costume-like. But seeing as polka dots are set to make a major comeback this autumn, I decided it was time to overcome my re...

Here Are All Carrie Bradshaw’s Best Looks From the Set Of And Just Like That
I don’t know about you, but I spent last night watching the first episode of the new Gossip Girl reboot. Now, we have yet another revival to look forward to because the new Sex and the City show officially began filming in New York City. That’s right: Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are back in action and wearing some very on-brand outfits for each of their characters. (Sadly, Samantha will not be part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will be sorely missed.) Big has just made his first appearance, and it’s intriguing to see what Carrie wears alongside him: a feathered headpiece reminiscent of her wedding day? Hmm. Thanks to paparazzi images, we have the very first look at what the ladies are wearing in the show, which will be calle...
Style Stories: How a Vintage Topshop Dress Led Me to My Future Husband
Fashion has a remarkable ability to shape our memories of an important person, place, or major event. Whether it’s a piece of jewellery gifted from a loved one, a dress worn on an unforgettable night, or a handbag that validates your financial freedom — sometimes our clothes help to create who we are. Style Stories share the scandalous, wholesome, and hilarious moments when our style became an important character in the story of our life. Having recently walked away from a relationship that left me a broken shell of my former self, dating felt like dangerous terrain that couldn’t be trusted. A broken butterfly being forced from its chrysalis, on a diet of antidepressants, sleeping pills, and pure anxiety. I was sure that nobody would be interested in me. I even considered movin...
Street Style Outfits Have Spoken—This Trend Is Already Winning for Autumn
My obsession with relaxed tailoring reached an all-time high after I spotted the outfit trend that’s really taking off recently: wide-leg pants. While it’s a trend that has been on the rise for some time now, you actually can’t ignore the impact it has been making. The street style outfits from Copenhagen Fashion Week really cemented the trend, and I’m calling it out as a key buy for fall. The wide-leg pants we’re seeing have really relaxed silhouettes and long hemlines. Fashion insiders are pairing them with everything from crochet tanks and crop tops to matching blazers and bold accessories, so if you’re looking for inspiration for how to wear them, there’s no shortage of cool ideas. Here, see how the fashion set is wearing wide-leg pan...
