The Best Fringe for Every Face Shape, According to a Celebrity Hairstylist
Getting a fringe is a rite of passage in so many people’s lives, whether it’s done on a whim or after months of decision-making. Choosing your style is a big part of that journey, so a little bit of research never hurts. One of the benefits of a fringe is how well they frame your face, so it’s especially helpful to know what shape your face is. So, first things first: Identify your face shape (it’s easier than it sounds, promise). Now you’re ready for step two: choosing your look. We turned to Moroccanoil Celebrity Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett—a.k.a. the man Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, Brie Larson and pretty much every other A-lister trusts with their gorgeous hair—to help break down which fringe is best for each shape.

I Practically Collect Candles—Here Are the 9 Brands I’m Currently Burning
My friends and family always tell me that I’m notoriously difficult to buy gifts for, which I adamantly refute. Sure, I’m quite particular about what I bring into my home, the items I add to my wardrobe, and the products I allow into my beauty bag, but give me a pair of gold-toned, not too big, not too small, hoop earrings, a nude eyeshadow palette (matte pigments only, please), a puff-sleeve dress in off-white, or perhaps a scallop-edged plate, and I’m a happy, happy lady. Okay, so after rattling off what turns out to be a very precise wish list, perhaps I am difficult to buy for. I always tell my nearest and dearest not to worry about presents—I’d much rather spend time with loved ones, anyway. Often this falls on deaf ears, but, as i...
Trust Me—This Is Where to Shop On the High Street If You’re Petite Like Me
While the average height for females in the United Kingdom is said to be 5’3″, it can certainly feel like clothing is not made with women of that stature in mind. From billowing sleeves to seemingly endless pant legs, dressing rooms can feel like a helpless place for shorter women where nothing ever fits quite the way it was intended. I for one stand at the relatively tiny height of 5’0 and have struggled with finding clothes to fit my entire life. And while it’s been helpful to make regular visits to an expert tailor or embrace the frayed hem look, I’ve decided that it’s time to find a better way. Luckily, several retailers have heard the frustrations of petite women everywhere and have begun creating specialised lines designed...
These 6 Summer Trends Are About to Hit the Big Time
In my time as a fashion journalist, I’ve always been more interested in the little trends that are poised to go big. I’m talking about the ones that magically bubble up to prominence on the streets or that your friends start messaging about. I’ll devour a Bottega Veneta runway collection as hungrily as the next fashion lover, but my passion lies in finding the looks, items and styling ideas that are organically growing through the season, day by day, IG post by IG post. And many of these microtrends do indeed have Instagram or TikTok as their fertile ground, which makes them easier to chart than ever—if you’re looking closely. Things in the world of microtrends do move fast, but that doesn’t mean that pieces on the rise fall out of favour quickly once theyR...
7 Times Harry Styles Took a Few Notes From Mick Jagger’s Iconic ’70s Style Book
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...

6 Spring Coats That Will Make Outdoor Dining So Much Better
Several weeks after restaurants and pubs have reopened, the novelty of eating a meal that doesn’t end with a pile of washing up still hasn’t worn off. However al fresco dining in the UK does still have its challenges—there’s the risk of a soggy rained-on main course, napkins flying everywhere and the non-stop shivering. By May we’d usually hope to have discarded all additional layers, and be starting to wear our high summer wardrobes, however the current weather and restrictions means you’re more likely to be wearing a puffer coat than pair of sandals. Getting dressed properly has been an adjustment since the end of lockdown, meaning we have been inundated with questions about what to wear to picnics, pubs and park dates. As the forecast i...

This COS Top is the Only Thing I’ve Bought New This Year
I had spotted the style a month or so ago and it had stuck in my mind thanks to its clean-lined simplicity, premium-look plisse fabric and boat-neckline. It immediately reminded me of the classic Issey Miyake Pleats Please pieces that I’ve always loved, and I knew that I would be able to dress it up with a midi skirt and heeled boots and keep it casual with high-waisted jeans. I’ve only owned it a few weeks, but I’ve already worn the top out to dinner and for countless work Zoom meetings, and each time it has been greeted with so many compliments. If that’s not a sign of a good investment, then I don’t know what is. I’m usually a UK 8 on the top but prefer a looser fit so decided to get a small, whi...
31 Cute Nail Designs Fashion Girls Are Already Adopting
There’s something about the non-permanent nature of nails that encourages more adventurous choices. Since you’re signing up for a maximum of three or four weeks with any particular design, you feel free to branch out and choose something experimental as opposed to say, a hair color that involves a much bigger commitment. A bold nail choice is just a fun way to test out new trends and express yourself with no strings attached. Fashion girls, of course, already know this and are always introducing cool new nail designs I find myself saving to show my manicurist. Recently, I’ve noticed three designs sprinkled in my Instagram feed, and I predict you’re about to see them everywhere. From geometric shapes to reimagined florals, below are the ...
