Presenting: A Whopping 24 Different Summer Hairstyle Ideas
Summer is basically at our doors already, which means swimsuits, picnics, and seaside trips are on the horizon. I know I’m not the only one who’s already mentally planning cute outfits, pretty makeup looks, and fun hairstyles I plan to wear to all of these summer activities. We’ve had a lot of time to think about this over the past year. But during the carefree summer months, I tend to gravitate towards looks that are a bit more effortless, so I can spend less time prepping and more time enjoying. Certain events like weddings and date nights I’ll go bigger, but I like to have a range of hairstyles to choose from that I can refer to and select based on how much time I plan to dedicate to getting ready. Since I’ve been amassing hairstyle...

Bethany Williams Shares How Allyship With Marginalised Communities Inspired Her New Collection
Bethany Williams’s new collection, All Our Stories, is inspired by the designer’s work with The Magpie Project, a grassroots organisation that supports women and children under 5 who are at risk of homelessness. All Our Stories highlights the stories of five of these families and photographs them wearing Williams’s richly textured garments made from textile and publishing waste. Some standout pieces from the collection are two corsets in collaboration with Welsh designer Rosie Evans, who made the corset boning out of fruit packaging waste. Six looks from All Our Stories were chosen for Williams’s submission for the 2021 International Woolmark Prize finals, and the designer spoke to POPSUGAR about how allyship with marginalised communities is the driving force of her...
The Best New Sustainable Swimwear to Shop for Summer Days by the Sea
Fashion has a complicated relationship with plastic. As much as we pass laws to reduce it and march in the streets to get it out of our oceans, plastic fashion (like PVC shoes, clothes, and accessories) continues to be one of the industry’s biggest trends. It’s a funny paradox where our fascination with transparent pieces is subverting the actual transparency that we need from big brands. But what if we used the demand for this trend as a way to reduce our plastic problem? The word “sustainable” was once tied to an underground and overpriced market. Now that the eco-fashion revolution is in full swing, there are tons of fresh brands like Mara Hoffman, Reformation, and Chromat that are gaining loyal fan bases while influencing mega retailers, like H&M and Zara, t...
The Summer Dress That Just Converted Me Back to Body-Con
I never thought I’d say these words again, but I wore a body-con, and I liked it, and I think you might too. We all like to categorise ourselves, particularly when it comes to fashion, and while there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be part of a style group, it can also result in us pigeonholing ourselves. For me, this is how I ended up disavowing body-con dresses after a long and tumultuous love affair with them as a teen. But 10 years later, I’ve finally changed my tune.

19 Classic Summer Pieces I Always Buy From the High Street
Let’s get one thing straight: classic doesn’t have to mean basic. I’m making this point from the off because I think it’s important to distinguish what we’re talking about here. When I say classic summer pieces, I mean items I wear for the duration of the warmer weather. It’s the floral dress I wear every time I have dinner with friends, the loose vest top I put on when there’s a heatwave and the chunky sandals I pair with practically everything. But it can also mean some fun printed trousers, a bright-pink midi or a satin slip skirt. Classic here translates as items I wear all the time that are ideal for summer, and they don’t have to be neutral or pared-back. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are loo...
From £10 Conditioners to £90 Face Masks, Rochelle Humes Is Obsessed With Beauty
Has anything about your approach to beauty changed over the last year, and are there any particular beauty looks that you’re looking forward to trying once we’re out of lockdown? Obviously, it’s been all change because nobody has been able to go anywhere and beautify themselves in the way that we used to. I think everyone’s had to create their own routines at home—whether that be working out in the morning or a lunchtime class, you’ve had to try to give yourself some sort of routine. So skincare just really picked up for me in the pandemic more than ever. I was trying different masks and hair masks just because I could. I wasn’t seeing anyone, so I could put on a hair mask, and then all of a sudden, I hadn’t washed it out, and a week had gone by [laughs]....
Only Zoë Kravitz Could Make a Basic Vest Top Look This Cool
Hats off to Zoë Kravitz. While she doesn’t often get spotted out and about, when she does show up every now and again she manages to wow us, even with the plainest of outfits. What’s her secret, we can hear you cry. Well, dear reader, it all comes down to this: simplicity. Over the years, we’ve analysed the star’s outfits and she never makes it fussy or over-the-top. She keeps it simple whether it’s a bejewelled bra and black skirt for the Vanity Fair Oscars party or just an oversized shirt and jeans. She sticks to a couple of really great pieces and that’s what makes her style stand out. Her most recent outfit proves our point beautifully, which comprises of a white vest top and a green slip skirt. She accessorised the loo...
34 White Cotton and Linen Dresses For Frolicking on Warm Summer Days
The little black dress might be the sultry sartorial pick of the evening, but nothing beats a breezy white dress with comfy sandals in the summer with a warm, gentle breeze. While we love summer 2021’s best fashion trends, like sheer printed pieces and head-to-toe pastels, when it comes to summer dresses, we always find a good reason to add a new classic white dress to our collection When we shop for essential wardrobe items that we are going to be wearing on repeat, like a white summer dress, a great pair of jeans, or practical black boots, quality is extremely important. The great thing about shopping for a summer dress is that polyester is not the only affordable option, and there are as many cute cotton and linen dresses from Rejina Pyo, Rixo, and & Other Stories as there are...
