20 Outfit Ideas I Have Really Loved This Week
There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition ...
From Bottega to Arket, This Is the Summer Colour Every Cool Brand Is Doing
Green isn’t always associated with the positive. It can mean that you’re ill or that you’re envious. But this season, green is having its moment. Wherever I look, this hue has been embraced, from influencers to the runways. Bottega Veneta’s current collection is full of the colour but so are Arket and plenty of other high-street stores. It’s hard to avoid it, quite frankly. I can imagine, however, that some would have a little trepidation over trying out this bold colour. For starters, this season’s green isn’t in the pastel range. It’s a bold, in-your-face wicked-witch kind of green. When you wear it, you will get noticed. So then, how do you blend that seamlessly into your wardrobe? Spoiler: you don’t. Perhaps one of the reasons ...
26 Celebs and Fashion Girls Who Are Making Me Want to Grow My Hair Long
I have a confession to make: I was so overjoyed when hair salons reopened last month that I hastily booked an appointment and merrily made my along to the salon chair where I requested that the hairdresser chop it all off without much though about whether that’s what I really wanted. Nevertheless, I’m now sporting a one-length bob that falls just past my chin and trying not to spend too much time scrolling through images of people with lovely long locks. Because I’ll be totally honest, long hair is looking really good to me right now. I’m not alone either. I recently caught up with a few hairstylists to find out what the most popular post-lockdown haircuts have been and it turns out that a lot of their clie...
I Swear By These 6 Products When I’m Feeling Stressed Out
If you’d asked pre-2020 me if I was someone that was prone to stress I would have said no. That’s not to say that I never felt stressed—daily commutes, a busy work week and a jam-packed social calendar meant that there were definitely times when I felt frazzled—but prolonged periods of stress just weren’t something that I was used to dealing with. Then that all changed. Of course, we all know what happened: a global pandemic hit and totally turned all of our daily lives upside down. When the UK entered its first lockdown, I had an 11-week-old baby and my stress levels were through the roof. I felt constantly on high alert: I was jumpy, my heart would race at the slightest noise, and I was incredibly anxious. And, baby aside, I know IR...

These Are the 9 Pieces You Need for a Summer Capsule Wardrobe
I’m pretty strict when it comes to a summer capsule wardrobe. Years ago, I might have been tempted to ensure there were loads of summer dresses and loose-fitting trousers in my wardrobe, but I’m now set on only a few items. This reasoning is absolutely to do with sustainability and ensuring my wardrobe works as hard as possible for me, but also, when it’s hot, you don’t want options—you just want pieces that make you look and feel good. I’ve finally narrowed down my warmer-weather outfits to just nine pieces. It doesn’t seem like very much, but all of these items are perfect for mixing together and creating different looks. Not to mention, I’ve included plenty of accessories. Sunglasses, a pair of sandals that work with everything, ...
7 Times Harry Styles Copied Mick Jagger’s Iconic ’70s Outfits
Harry Styles might be a one in a million star, but we can’t help but see similarities between his style and that of Rolling Stones frontman and 1970s icon Mick Jagger. There have been a number of occasions where Styles’s love of statement suits, androgynous outfits, and sensual, on-stage swagger have been compared to Jagger’s — and we found some of the best photos of their matching style moments. We aren’t the only ones who think Harry Styles and Mick Jagger are doppelgängers separated by half a century. Rumours of the One Direction singer being tapped to play the Rolling Stones rocker in a biopic were swirling online for years, until Styles set the record straight by confirming he had “never heard anything about the film”. Even so, it’s pretty cle...
13 “Boring” Staples Our Fashion Friends Are Wearing This Summer
There are plenty of adventurous trends to experiment with this summer (see g-string and clogs), but it’s helpful to remind ourselves of the reliable, and not to mention versatile, basics that are the building blocks of any sustainable wardrobe.

Although the same staples reappear every summer, if you need to restock or just want to add another key piece to your wardrobe, we’ve found 13 items that you’ll be wearing forever. From white tank tops to denim shorts and strappy sandals, take a peek at how to style them this season and shop o...

Once the dread of bridesmaids everywhere, the floral-clad, puff-sleeve silhouette of Laura Ashley‘s dresses has become synonymous with the chintzy romanticism of the ’80s.

Duchess of Cambridge Rewears a Blouse From Her 2010 Engagement Photo in New YouTube Video
Despite amassing an extensive wardrobe since becoming the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton still reaches for some of her favourite wardrobe items time and time again. In a recent video added to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Youtube channel, the Duchess is seen wearing a cream coloured Whistles silk ruffled blouse that she previously wore in her 2010 official engagement photo with Prince William. In support of Catherine’s Hold Still campaign, the Duchess shared a video to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s new YouTube channel where she checks in with one of the campaign participants — a young child named Mila who has been isolating separately from her parents due to being only 4 months into chemotherapy when lockdown began.
