All the Leopard-Printed Pieces You Could Wish for in One Glorious Gallery
Knowing how to wear leopard print comes down to this one simple, unwritten rule: Treat it like any black item in your wardrobe. Yes, this might seem counterintuitive, but adding a little leopard to any outfit upgrades and harmonises a look. True, leopard print has often walked the line between flashy and luxurious, but it’s been proven time and again that fashion girls can’t resist it. And despite its ubiquity, leopard prints popularity began with one designer and his muse—more specifically, Christian Dior and Mitzah Bricard. Bricard was fascinated by leopard print, and as a result, during the ’50s, Dior created a range of his accessories featuring the design, elevating leopard to be the must-have print of the moment.

Angelina Jolie’s Airport Trousers Are Even Better Than Joggers or Leggings
Airport style is back, baby, and this celebrity outfit–obsessed editor couldn’t be happier about it. It’s hard to predict how the pandemic will have changed airport style. It will either be the case that people are more comfortable than ever with dressing down in sweats and leggings for a flight or that they’re longing for an occasion to wear a chic, polished travel outfit. Time will tell, but Angelina Jolie seems to have chosen the latter. Jolie was recently photographed at JFK wearing a Dior trench coat, a Celine bag, Salvatore Ferragamo slide sandals, and a pair of very wide, lightweight jeans that seem so much breezier than and just as comfortable as leggings or sweatpants. (If you haven’t heard, NYC has been sweltering lately.) After seeing how chic J...
I’m a Trouser Aficionado, and This Is the Trend I’m Loving for 2021
While I try to avoid speaking in binaries when it comes to personal style, I think it’s fair to say that I classify myself as a “trouser person.” It’s not that I don’t embrace dresses in the heat of high summer (my black COS T-shirt dress is a real wardrobe workhorse) or throw on the odd skirt every now and then, but catch me on any given day of the week and chances are I’ll be wearing trousers.

I Haven’t Shopped at Zara in a Year—These Amazing Items Might Change That
With a pandemic keeping us homebound coupled with a pregnancy and postpartum period that was rife with changes (both of the physical and mental kind), Zara’s not the only shopping destination I took a hiatus from over the past year. It is, however, the one I probably missed the most. That’s why when I recently took a deep dive back into the brand’s site—just in time for summer, I might add—I was overwhelmed but also elated by all the amazing options. I loved a lot, but since I can’t possibly buy all 48 items on my current wish list (not even counting matching sets as two), I figured I might as well share them so that others out there can benefit from all the time I just put into this venture. To see and shop all one million of my finds, broken down into categor...

I’ve Replaced All of My Candles With This New Diffuser—Here’s Why
I adore candles. From the room-filling scents and gorgeous jars to the way that lighting one signals a welcome shift into evening and the chance to wind down, I truly love everything about them. So it might seem out of sorts for me to be declaring that for the last couple of weeks, I’ve totally ignored my vast candle collection in favour of a new diffuser, but that’s exactly what’s happened. Enter Aromatherapy Associates The Atomiser (£120). I’ll be honest. I’ve never really gotten the fuss about diffusers. With reed diffusers, I always forget to flip the reeds over for a periodic fragrance boost, and I find that the oils tend to evaporate way faster than I would like, leaving an empty bottle of sticks just hanging around on my fireplace for months afterward. ...

20 Dresses That No One Will Ever Guess Came From Marks and Spencer
The brand has recently started stocking a wide range of labels, including a collaboration with Brit dress brand Ghost. However, you also can’t go wrong with the main-line pieces from the likes of Per Una and M&S Collection. The key styles to look out for this summer revolve around two camps: the clean-lined minimalist midis and the colourful printed numbers. M&S offers both in abundance, from linen shifts and loose T-shirt dresses to throw-on leopard-print shirt dresses and puff-sleeve floral numbers. It’s hard to choose, but I would have to say that my favourite piece is the black jersey T-shirt dress, which would pair perfectly with my favourite chunky sandals for easy weekend dressing. Meanwhile, the lace-trim white midi only needs tan access...

How Victoria and The Serpent Shape Jenna Coleman’s Personal Style
Jenna Coleman found her signature style in 2016 following her role as Queen Victoria in ITV’s Victoria. Before playing the monarch, Coleman’s fashion sense was noticeably classic, with lots of maxi-length printed dresses in traditional silhouettes, but it became even more refined while playing the queen. In addition to the royal references, Coleman’s role as the stylish ’70s criminal Marie-Andrée “Monique” Leclerc in The Serpent had a sartorial impact on summer 2021 fashion trends, like wide-leg trousers and babushka scarves, as well as on Coleman’s own post-lockdown outfits. Coleman loves a printed midi dress in a richly textured fabric like jacquard, velvet, bouclé, or lace. When choosing pieces, she often goes for shades of blue, white, grey, or...
Reuben Selby on His Spring 2022 London Fashion Week Collection and Working With Maisie Williams
It’s been over a year since an emerging designer was able to put on an in-person showcase at London Fashion Week, and on 12 June, the spell of isolation was finally lifted. London-based designer Reuben Selby presented his second collection at this year’s London Fashion Week — after his Paris Fashion Week debut was met with immense praise — and the result was undoubtedly inspiring (there were also some pretty special guests in attendance, including Griff and Bimini Bon Boulash). The spring/summer 2022 showcase was inspired by Selby’s mum’s home in the Philippines, as well as the cultural melting pot that is the city of London. Titled “Clash”, the genderless collection was made up of deadstock materials from The Fabric House and featured a striking green t...
