7 Summer Wedding Guest Outfits I’d Instantly Notice
Deciding what to wear to a wedding is difficult enough, but a summer wedding? It requires even more consideration. While you can’t bank on sunny skies for the big day, if recent weather is anything to go by, you can assume it’s going to be a muggy affair. So to strike the perfect balance on what to wear to a summer wedding, you need to be sure of a few things: 1) that your ensemble won’t make you overheat, 2) that it feels comfortable to spend the day in, and 3) that it still feels fancy enough for a special occasion. Ticking all these boxes is no small feat, but we’ve cracked it with a bit of help from some of our stylishly blessed friends. From the fabrics to look for to the new silhouettes to try, scroll on to see seven chic suggestions on what to wear...
I’ve Worn Black to a Wedding 3 Times—Here Are My Dos and Don’ts
“I definitely think it’s appropriate to wear black to a wedding, especially if the attire is black-tie. I also think it depends on the location/aesthetic of the wedding,” says Who What Wear U.S.’s Lauren Eggertsen. “For example, I attended a black-tie wedding where the reception took place in a gorgeous ballroom, so a black dress seemed more than appropriate. If I were attending a summertime outdoor wedding, black might seem out of place.” On the other hand, her colleague Erin Fitzpatrick would steer clear of turning to the dark side. “I definitely don’t think it’s a universal rule anymore, but I personally prefer to skip black dresses for weddings,” she says. “Since every wedding I’ve been to has been in the summ...
I Keep Spotting French Girls in These 6 Affordable Summer Trends
In the style inspiration stakes, the French-girl look will forever be at the top of our list. We never get bored of the plethora of cool-girl outfits that come from this part of the world. Of course, the notion of what constitutes “French style” has changed over time, and no longer exclusively refers to Breton tops and knotted neckerchiefs. Thanks to the democratising powers of Instagram, a new guard has risen up, bringing their own unique interpretations to this classic aesthetic. Let’s just say, we’re paying attention. This summer, we’ve seen all manner of cool outfits come from the likes of Slip Into Style and Frann Fyne, and after a bit of digging we’ve come up with four trends, in particular, that seem t...
I Bought This Blazer 8 Years Ago—It Still Goes With Everything in My Wardrobe
We fashion journalists like to talk a lot about “forever items” and “staples,” and in all honesty, I do think that both the industry and the general public are slowly becoming better at having a more measured approach to deciding what we actually need in our wardrobes. But sometimes the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and so I wanted to share with you one particular item of clothing that I’ve now owned for over eight years that is still going strong: a simple black blazer from Theory.

I Asked Georgia May Jagger What’s Inside Her Makeup Bag—Here’s What She Said
Georgia May Jagger is into beauty in a big way. “My parents were a little bit strict with me not being allowed to wear mascara or anything until I turned maybe 13, so as soon as I was allowed to wear makeup then I was fully in,” laughs Jagger. It makes perfect sense, then, that the British model is the face of the new Hourglass Refillable Curator Eyeshadow Palette—a sustainable, customisable palette that allows consumers to pick from 40 beautiful powder eye shadows to create a unique-to-you compact. “I just love the concept,” explains Jagger. “I think it’s amazing because I was able to curate it myself. I love playing with makeup and I think it’s really important to be able to pick out colours that work for you.” But with direct access ...
Billie Piper Just Wore the Perfect Wimbledon Outfit
Big celebrity events have been few and far between thanks to Covid. And I, for one, have missed the glamour. But thanks to Wimbledon, we’ve had a few sightings to placate those of us who are hungry for some A-list action. First, we had Kate Middleton, and now we have a flurry of looks from various celebs including Billie Piper, who attended the event yesterday wearing an all-white shorts suit by Jason Wu, Christian Louboutin sandals and an Anya Hindmarch bag. As for Sienna Miller, the star turned up for Manic Monday wearing a head-to-toe striped look from Ralph Lauren. Additionally, Poppy Delevingne, FKA Twigs, Maya Jama and Holly Willoughby all made appearances this week to watch the matches taking place. Last week, we also saw Bridgerton actresses Phoebe Dynevor and Nicol...
I Just Tried the £400 Dyson Hair Straightener, and This Is My Honest Review
If you’re not overly familiar with Dyson haircare, let me offer you a brief overview. Back in 2016, the brand, previously known for crafting high-end vacuum cleaners, hand driers, and fans, launched into beauty with the Supersonic Hair Dryer (£300). It promised intense power with minimal noise and, most importantly, minimal heat damage. Then, two years later in 2018, it released potentially one of the most innovative hair tools that the industry had ever seen: the Airwrap (£450), a multi-use tool (again with minimal heat) that offers a full blow-dry experience at home by utilising an air-flow Coanda effect for bouncy curls. In short, Dyson’s track record means that when the brand talks, we listen. A small caveat, however, is that Dyson ha...
15 Outfits That Are Going to Look Just as Good in Autumn
Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days (which will probably be here before we know it) and right into the time when it turns really cold. Thankfully, online retailers are preempting our shopping whims and are already starting to slowly fill their new-in sections with knitwear and trench coats. So although it might seem early, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some...
I Never Expected This Basic Summer Outfit to Start Trending, But I’m Glad It Is
I don’t know if it’s a ripple effect from the last year and a half or a byproduct of being in my 30s, but now more than ever, I find myself gravitating towards simple outfits. While statement-making looks—particularly those found on the red carpet—are always fun to look at, when it comes to getting myself dressed, I’m into ensembles that require as minimal effort as possible whilst still looking cool, of course. This might sound like a lot to ask for, but I’ve already found the solution. You need only scroll past a handful of images on your Instagram feed to see that oversized shirts are summer’s breakout buy. Fashion types have seemingly bought them in bulk to throw on with everything from straight-leg jeans and drawstring shorts to elegant midi skirts. I’ve pulled together six ...

These Are COS’s Coolest Summer Dresses—Here’s How to Style Them
Okay, COS. You need to stop delivering such enviable looks this summer because it is really testing my shopping willpower. I already caved on the versatile T-shirt dress, which I bought in black (it’s a 10 of out 10 from me), but every week sees another perfect minimalist creation drop on-site, particularly within the dress category. From neutral midis and voluminous smocks to loose T-shirt styles and layerable shirt dresses, there are so many fab options to choose from right now. That being said, I know that many people are struggling with outfit inspiration this summer (learning to dress after a year of isolation is hard—I get it), so I decided to pick my four favourites from COS’s latest drop and style them up...
