17 Summer Outfits We Love for All Kinds of Weather
I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is summer. If you too are dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits for our return to socialising with fewer restrictions. I bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the proposal for a freer summer and have been looking for outfit ideas ever since. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember if the sandals...
From Hen Dos to Heatwave Picnics: 7 Outfits I’ve Loved Wearing This Summer
Over the course of 2020, we all developed different approaches to socially distanced dressing. Whether you were a comfy-co-ord convert, a legging devotee or someone who was militant about staying smart to keep a routine in place, for many of us, clothing played an unexpectedly important role in the way we approached our day-to-day lives, whatever you were doing with your time. As someone who loved to dress up for work, I found it particularly tricky to reconcile my carefully curated and beloved wardrobe with my new hermit-like existence, but I persevered and embraced elasticated waistbands and shearling slippers like everyone else. But, of course, I dreamt of the days when I could rock an LBD, s...
9 Low-Key Yet Chic Outfits That Are Ideal for a First Date
Casual first-date outfits can be hard to assemble, as they’re so dependant on your chosen activity. If we’re talking “casual” in the truest sense, it could be anything from a walk in the park to a drink at the pub, a mini-golf session or brunch. That, or unless you’ve been involved in the planning, you might not 100% know what’s on the agenda. But fret not, for we’ve rustled up a handful of incredibly stylish, casual first-date outfits that strike the perfect balance between effortless and cool so you can focus more on making a meaningful connection as opposed to spending the run-up worrying about what you’re going to wear. The most important thing you need to consider about your first-date outfit is feeling comforta...
4 Dress Trends That Are Going to Last Well Into 2022
It’s our job to pore over the trends so that you don’t have to, separating the sure-to-be-short-lived from the enduring, and that’s exactly what we’re presenting you with here. Cue four key styles of dresses (because who doesn’t love the ease of a dress?) that we tipped as winners in our autumn 2021 trend report and that are looking like they’ll go the distance. As we know all too well, the good weather on our shores can be short-lived, and before we know it, those temperatures will be cooling right down, so we’re thinking about dresses that can take us into the transitional time while still ticking off the trend-conscious box. From fuchsia hues to body-con knits, discover what styles our money is on below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online...
How to Wear a Designer Wedding Dress and Save Money
Let’s face it: Getting married can be super expensive. I’ve been through the whole thing, and in my experience, besides the catering bill, the next big expense is the frock. However, wedding dresses don’t have to cost crazy amounts of money now, with plenty of high-street stores offering up a more affordable bridal selection. But what if you’ve got your eye on something designer and just don’t have the budget? One word: rental. The bridal-rental market is currently booming. Eshita Kabra-Davies, the founder of peer-to-peer rental platform By Rotation, told me that “By Rotation‘s bridal selection grew during lockdown with searches for bridal and wedding wear up by 1200% since March 2020. The number of...
What to Wear to a Music Festival This Summer, Inspired by Our Favourite Stylish Brits
When it comes to festival fashion, no one does it quite like the UK. At England’s best summer music festivals, don’t expect to see flower crowns, glitter makeup, or Woodstock-inspired outfits. Instead, it’s all about Hunter boots, a cute waterproof jacket, and the shortest shorts you can possibly find. We searched through the best celebrity fashion moments from Glastonbury and found nine classic music festival outfits that we bet you’ll copy at least once this summer. Joining the trifecta of wellies, short shorts, and raincoats are a few pieces that are equally worthy of praise. Although we aren’t ones to go full hippy like the Coachella lot, late-’60s and early-’70s style has perennially charmed British festivalgoers. Expect to see crochet looks, ...
Megan Fox Is Back, and She’s Fully in Command
I caught up with Fox as she was waiting to board a flight (remember those?) for what’s now a busy press circuit promoting two upcoming films she has out this summer. Chalk it up to my fuzzy speakerphone or the fact that, for her, it was a travel day, but I picked up on a slight haziness in her voice. Whatever it was quickly dissipated as she described the atmosphere of our cover shoot that took place in L.A. just a few days prior. “I was pretty sick,” she admitted. “I thought, ‘Oh, God. I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to pull this off.’” Spoiler: She did. There’s a twinge of a Southern accent in her voice, a slight twang that flattens out the vowels. She spoke candidly, slipping in a “well, shit” or “oh, fuck” as casually as some people would unconsciously say “like” or “um.” You r...
H&M Has Created the Perfect Throw-On Summer Dress in 7 Colours
The heatwave is on its way, so naturally, there’s nothing else we Brits are talking about right now (as I write this, they are discussing it at great length on the radio). This can only mean one thing in the wardrobe department: It’s time to dig out our trusty throw-on dresses. I don’t know about you, but when the mercury rises, all I want to wear is something that is loose, light and long. I can’t deal with fitted waistbands or clingy silhouettes. Well, luckily, H&M has dropped a dress that delivers on all these fronts. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get to meet Beautiful people, chat and make money in the pr...
4 Lipstick Colours I Predict Will Be Huge This Summer
While summer 2021 might be remembered in the beauty world as the season that colourful eye shadow reigned supreme, it’s the resurgence of lipstick that I’m more interested in. Yes, despite the reality of face masks, meaning many of us were spending more time concentrating on the makeup that goes on the upper half of our faces, once unmasked, I’ve noticed that lipstick is still very much a staple of every fashion person’s beauty routine. And this summer’s hottest lipstick colours are a delight to behold—from the revival of classic crimson to new-gen glosses, there’s a lipstick love-in happening right now. And I’m very much on board with it. Ahead, keep scrolling for the four summer lipstick colours that everyo...
I’m a Fashion Editor and Stylist—This Is My Ultimate High-Street Find of 2021
Being a fashion editor and stylist, I have always been a bit eclectic in my style, loving a bit of maximalism one minute and minimalism the next. I suppose it’s a bit of a rite of passage from my fashion college days when we all competed to be as fashion-forward as possible. As I am an ageism fighter, it’s so important to me to feel seen, and fashion allows me to express myself and allow my inner chameleon to shine bright. That’s why I love a classic piece that can be worn multiple ways, such as this simple yet versatile satin skirt. I can be really creative one minute and then more subdued the next, and a satin skirt will go with anything and can be dressed up or down, looking equally as good with heels as it does with a chunky knit and trainers. It&#...
The 5 Items Our Editors Have on Their Autumn Wish Lists
When you’re blessed with having a job that means you spend at least part of your time shopping for a living, you see a lot of stuff. However, as editors for a fashion website, we often spend time working out what is and what isn’t worth your cash. Right now, that feels more important to get right, what with budgets being tighter and customers wanting pieces that work harder for them. It’s no wonder consumers want longer-lasting items that still nod to trends but aren’t defined by them. There’s no denying that it can be a tricky couple of criteria to fill. But as I already mentioned, as fashion insiders, this is what we do. For this month, I asked several of our editors what’s on their shopping lists for autumn. It’s worth mentioning that we live in...
