5 Vibrant Colours That Will Be a Joy to Wear This Summer
In Who What Wear’s spring/summer 2021 trend report, editor Emma Spedding cited “the joy of getting dressed” as a key mood for the season ahead. The sentiment was echoed by MatchesFashion’s fashion and buying director, Natalie Kingham, who, in the platform’s own S/S 21 report, referenced the role of colour in the summer runway collections. “If there is one thing that has made me smile, it has been seeing bright bursts of colour on Zoom calls. Many designers worked with a bold palette for spring, including some brilliant day dresses by Valentino, which will translate well however you want to wear them,” she explained. “We also saw bright colour via tie-dye at The Elder Statesman, and even the humble Ugg was updated...

I Haven’t Shopped All Year, But Mango’s Summer Collection Just Changed My Mind
I like to plan out every aspect of my life, particularly what I’m going to be wearing for it, but lately, I’ve found myself struggling with my fashion identity. Postponed weddings, cancelled holidays and, let’s face it, the lack of a social life means I’ve been shopping considerably less than I ordinarily would have been. It’s my job as an editor to show you a considered and concise edit of the best pieces in fashion at any given time, and I love that challenge. However, right now, I’m increasingly indecisive about what to buy for myself. So much so I’ve barely added anything new to my wardrobe this year. I need an intervention—something to help me reignite my passion for getting dressed (in something other than leggings a...

Gigi Hadid Just Wore the Loveliest £36 Mango Top, and It’s Still Available
Is Gigi Hadid an ardent Who What Wear follower? I ask because it was only the other day that we were extolling the fashion virtues of Mango’s many brilliant crochet pieces, highlighting that they are some of the strongest on the high street for this topline summer trend. We know that celebrities aren’t immune to the charms of a well-chosen affordable item, despite owning closets full of designer garms. But those high street pieces have to work hard to stand up to the luxury good these A-listers are used to, and the detail, design and finish on this £36 crochet polo shirt manages to do just that. Stepping out in New York a few days ago, Gigi’s low-key outfit looked like the very epitome of relaxed warm-weather dressing. From her slouchy-yet-tailored mustard...

Square-Frame Sunglasses Are Having a Moment—and These Are All Epic
Every picture I am saving on Instagram recently seems to have one thing in common—a pair of vibrant square-frame sunglasses. This might be a side effect of recently finishing the ’70s series The Serpent, or maybe it’s because like many Brits I have been desperately craving some sunshine. I typically tend to be very boring when it comes to sunglasses, only wearing a Wayfarer or similarly classic shape, however this year I’m drawn towards retro shades in vibrant hues. I’m more than ready to have some fun with my outfits again, and wearing a pair of OTT bright green sunglasses might just satisfy this urge. Unsurprisingly, Gucci (a moniker for maximalist nowadays) is leading this trend, with its angular, rainbow shades. Another label which has sparked th...
I Rarely Spend Huge Amounts on Dresses—Here Are 36 Affordable Frocks I Love
Dresses are my most favourite thing to shop for. More often than not, I’ll return trousers or tops based on their unpredictable fit, but I find it easier to tell whether a dress will fit and suit me; even if I only have a product shot to go by. Another plus side of dresses is I find that you don’t need to spend a fortune to find a really beautiful dress. I’ve become a dab-hand at spotting a great affordable summer dress. Putting my skills to the test, below I’ve curated an edit of affordable summer dresses, just for you. It’s worth noting that one person’s idea of what’s affordable will always differ from the next, but with stand-out dresses from as little as £18 and £29 (from COS no less), and peaking at £145, I’ll let you determine wha...
These Colour Trends Are Going to Dominate the Rest of 2021
It’s plain to see from our autumn/winter 2021 trend report that colour has a huge part to play for the second half of the year. The forthcoming season is set to be bold and rather beautiful with super-bright, densely pigmented shades taking a prime position across many a key designer collection. You’ll find ultra-saturated corals, highlighter yellows, neon, Kelly and emerald greens, lipstick reds, juicy oranges and punchy cobalt blues. There’s an omnipresent pink aura running through the runways, with every option available—light baby-pinks through to deep fuchsias—but perhaps that no surprise considering how well established the pink colour trend already is at this point in the year. Perhaps a more surprisingly addition is the noticeable rise in purple: It...
Michaela Coel’s Sultry Open-Back Gown at the 2021 BAFTA TV Awards Completely Destroyed Us
We’re all rooting for Michaela Coel at the 2021 BAFTA Television Awards. The I May Destroy You actor and creator was nominated for two BAFTAs in the categories of leading actress and best mini-series. Michaela arrived on the red carpet already looking like a winner in a custom black gown by one of London’s most exciting emerging designers, Maximilian. Michaela’s custom black Highway gown by Maximilian was inspired by the designer’s spring/summer 2021 collection. The elegantly sexy, floor-length dress featured contrasting red sleeves and two statement cutout panels on the back. She completed the look with layers of chunky gold necklaces, black nail polish, and slicked-back hair cut into a blunt, medium bob. For accessories, Michaela chose simple, black satin heeled s...
