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.

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...
