5 Autumn Outfit Ideas You Can Try Out This Weekend
August is drawing to a close, and while we’re nowhere near ready to get into tights and coats, we are (dare we say it) excited to start wearing jumpers, ankle boots and autumn/winter 2021’s biggest trends. If you’re bored with summer dresses and want to feel a little more autumnal, here are five weekend outfits that you don’t have to wait until November to wear. All of these have layers that you can easily add and take away, so you can wear them this weekend and beyond. Our favourite outfit we’ve spotted is Lucy Williams’s grassy green slip skirt paired with a dark denim jacket and chunky, rubber-soled boots. We are also obsessed with Sylvie Mus’s jeans, sandals and bustier paired with a Matrix-style leather trench coat. Keep scrolling to shop the ...
French Women Were Right All Along: This Is the Best Dress Trend Ever
The knitted dress trend has been back in a seriously big way in 2021. You might not have realised this, of course, because in many ways it’s the kind of frock that never really goes out of fashion. However, there’s one key component of this year’s style that French women have been nailing for ever. When it comes to knitted dresses en France, les françaises are more likely to opt for a fitted version. No saggy, loose-fitting sacks for our friends across the channel, thank you very much. Instead, it’s about considered knitwear that is more bodycon and has some kind of structure. Case in point is Khaite’s chic black version which I spotted on Camille Charrière some time ago. The sweetheart neckline is what really makes this dress sing but I love the demure ...
These 5 Autumn Coat Trends Look So Much Better Second-Hand
Welcome to my latest edition of “yes, you can buy this season’s trends second-hand and look better than if you bought them new.” (Catchy, right?) This week, I’m focusing on coat trends, a category that, thanks to my lifelong addiction to outwear, has become a bit of an area of expertise for me. I also believe that it is one of the easiest ways to dip your toe into vintage shopping. Why? Well, the sizing is typically easier to navigate than it is for trousers or tops. (If in doubt, I recommend sizing up, as you can always get something tailored). Coats and jackets also tend to age better than less sturdy items of clothing, both in terms of fabric and construction but also in regards to trends. I find that most autumn/winte...
As Far as Interior Trends Go, This One Has to Be the Prettiest
I’ve already professed my love of candles, but I found my collection mainly consisted of either pillars or those poured into glass jars, so I decided to switch things up with a set of tapers. The initial appeal of tapers was that they looked instantly fancy, but what I found is that, when lit, they create a beautiful atmosphere and make the moment feel significantly more special. They’re also great for adding height to a tablescape, which makes it all the more visually exciting and appealing. What’s more, I’ve found that most taper candles are unscented, and therefore don’t create a fragrance clash with the food I’m serving. “A perfectly lit taper candle can be quite memorising,” says Tony Jack, founder of Fairholme Candles, which has recently launched at Liberty. “The way the wax drips do...
9 Ways to Spin Your Favourite Summer Colours for Autumn
When you think about autumn colours, which shades come to mind? Chances are, in your mind right now, flashes of oxblood, navy, forest green and brown appear before you. And you’re right. The colder months are traditionally synonymous with darker hues, but that doesn’t mean you should relegate all of your bold, standout pieces to the back of your wardrobe until next April. In fact, the autumn/winter 2021 runways insist you don’t. Super-bright shades were evident in the collections of top designers, including Versace, Ferragamo, Raf Simons, Bottega Veneta, and Prada. All of them having reimagined colours most commonly associated with summer for the season ahead—a continuation from the joyful dressing movement which was sparked earlier in the year. “Th...
I Swear By These Serums for Glowing Skin
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love nothing more than finding a beauty product that helps me live my best glowy and dewy life. Be it a highlighter, an SPF or a moisturiser, I’ll happily apply any product to my face to achieve luminosity. Thankfully, I now own several products that will make my skin more glowy and radiant than ever, and they’re currently waiting patiently on my skincare trolley for their moment to shine. Which products am I talking about? Serums, of course. To be honest, there are so many serums on the market that it can be hard to know where to start. Many are formulated to target specific skincare concerns, so whether you want to reduce blemishes, moisturise dehyd...
7 Perfect Outfit Ideas for a September Wedding
Am I weird to be happy about September being around the corner? Sure, the cooler days and shorter nights are coming but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. For starters, summer wasn’t the *best* this year, was it? So I don’t know about you but I’m pretty happy to start embracing the knitwear-friendly weather, quite honestly and forget about the past few weeks. But before the truly cold temperatures kick in there’s still a good amount of wedding season we need to consider, and everyone knows that September weddings are the most fun. Less sweating over your Prosecco and more options for outerwear, I’d say this month is ideal to attend various nuptials. As usual, our attentions are drawn to the major question of what to wear to a September ...
I Just Tried on Autumn’s 8 Biggest Cult Buys
Perhaps it’s just me, but there seems to be a tentative sense of optimism at play as we enter autumn 2021. Maybe it’s the fact that many of us (although not all, of course) will have more freedoms than we did last year, or it’s the promise of holidays, weddings and birthdays to come. Or, perhaps, it’s just the small things that have shifted. For me, as a fashion lover, it’s being reunited with my favourite items of clothing that have sat dormant at the back of my wardrobe for most of 2020. And that’s not to mention the abundance of endorphin-boosting prints and colours that have taken over the autumn collections this year. It’s with this spirit that I’ve approached my cult autumn buys edit. I wante...
