The Vintage-Inspired Swimwear Trend the Fashion Crowd is Backing This Summer
When it comes to swimwear trends, we tend to have a slightly ambivalent view. Generally, it’s our belief that everyone has a style or fit that they go to year after year, regardless of whether it’s “in” or not. Also, there seems to be a worrying obsession with bum-bearing G-string swimwear right now, so forgive us if we don’t instantly jump on the latest beach-bound bandwagon. However, there has been a slew of styles this season that have made us sit up in our seats and challenged us to rethink our go-to holiday staple. From gingham prints and waist-cinching bottoms to classic all-in-ones to belted styles, they all vary in shape and fabric, but the new swimwear trends are united by their irresistibly chic retro vibes. And the best thing about them? T...
The Autumn 2021 Trends That Are In, According to 5 Gen Z Fashion Experts
Finally, Rumbi, 25 and based in Nottingham, is reviewing Hermès. Rumbi is heavily inspired by Y2K pop culture like Moesha, Girlfriends, The Fresh Prince, and Nollywood (Nigerian film industry). She loves dramatic pointed mules, little chiffon tops and G-strings with diamanté detail at the back. At first glance, the collection has all the classic autumn/winter staples that one would expect to see: long sleeves, high necks, embroidered sweaters, and my all-time favourite staple: leather trousers. But of course, it would not be a Hermès collection without a unique, elegant twist on the classics and this collection definitely delivers. I was thrilled to see broad-shouldered jackets, mid-length dresses, trench coats tightly cinched at the waist and an array of elegantly androgynous si...

9 Outfit Trends Katie Holmes Is Wearing All Over NYC
If you count yourself as one of many who follow Katie Holmes’s style these days, you’ll be glad to know that we’ve also been keeping a close eye on her outfits as of late. Given that she’s been out and about in her adopted hometown of NYC quite a bit, it hasn’t been hard to do. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: The reason people are so enamored with Katie Holmes’s outfits is simple—they’re low-key and accessible. Even though she often wears designer pieces, they’re usually fairly classic and therefore easily substituted with more wallet-friendly finds. We also love that she frequently wears the same pieces on repeat, making investment purchases like her Gucci loafers a smart splurge on her part...
These 9 Gorgeous Hair Colours Are About to Be Everywhere
Hair colour has been a touchy subject over the last year. With salons being forced to close as we all sheltered in place, many were left with few choices for maintaining their colour. For the bravest souls among us, this year has meant getting comfortable with DIY box dye, but for a lot of folks, limited or no access to professionals meant abandoning their hair colour maintenance altogether, leading to overgrown roots, dull highlights, and generally unkempt colour that’s likely now in need of some serious TLC. Thankfully, we’re almost out of the woods, and salons are finally open again so we can book in with our trusty colourists to make hair colour magic once again. And after a year away, you might need some inspiration for what statement to make. We&...
I Rented My Outfits for a Month, and Here’s My Verdict
Overall, I found the whole process to be much smoother than I anticipated, and picking, ordering and returning my pieces (I dropped them off at the nearest DPD checkpoint using the prepaid shopping label) required very little effort. I like the fact that rental allowed me to embrace the excitement of newness without experiencing the dreaded spender’s guilt. The idea of using the platform to experiment with my style, try new brands and generally celebrate the creativity that I’ve always loved about fashion is undeniably appealing. I can also see it being useful for specific occasions or life phases. Think a big summer holiday or even pregnancy. That being said, I don’t think rental could replace those big investments, such as classic winter coats or heirloom-worthy jewelle...
I’m Over High Heels—22 Chic (and Comfy) Low-Heel Sandals I’m Shopping Instead
This year, we’re all hopeful that our lives will return to some sense of normalcy, and this will require us to put something other than slippers on our feet.

With a depleted tolerance for uncomfortable shoes, I’m turning my attention to low-heel sandals this summer. I’m talking two inches on average.

The Best Mini, Midi and Maxi Dresses to Carry You Through Summer and Beyond
With the temperature gauge almost reaching 30°, we have finally found an excuse to unleash our summer dress collection. Whether you’re a clean-lined minimalist, a floral fanatic, a lover of boho ruffles or someone who craves a simple T-shirt dress, it’s fair to say that there’s plenty to choose from this season. Personally, I’ve been a big fan of the loose, smock-like styles that have proliferated over the last 12 months, as they both keep you cool and look the part with Birkenstocks or strappy heels. That being said, I have also appreciated the transformation of the mini this year, which has been offered up in unexpected fabrics and silhouettes. Think wrap styles in premium linen, pops of fuchsia and frill-neck collars. You a...
