Fancy the Patchwork Jeans Trend? We Found the Best Pieces to Shop Online
The classic blue jean got a handcrafted makeover for 2021. Patchwork jeans were a standout trend at London Fashion Week spring/summer 2021, seen at Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood, and Bethany Williams — and now you can shop this ’70s-inspired style at your favourite online boutiques. If you fancy investing in designer pieces, then Net-a-Porter’s in-house sustainable brand Net Sustain has a great selection. But if you prefer saving some coins on your next denim purchase, then you’re best checking high-street brands that cater to an edgier customer. We’re loving Jaded London, Bershka, The Ragged Priest, and Urban Outfitters for finding a great pair of two-tone or patchwork jeans at an accessible price point. Although this denim trend is a bit on the rebellious si...
19 Printed Mesh Dresses and Sheer Tops to Channel Your Inner Style Rebel This Spring
Maya Jama’s printed mesh dress on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK piqued viewers’ interest in the popular fashion trend, which is currently being done best by London boutiques Auné and Kai Collective. But even before Jama debuted this trend to the fashion enthusiasts of drag, it was one of the biggest microtrends of the ’90s thanks to Jean Paul Gautier’s printed, sheer designs. Printed mesh dresses and sheer tops are meant for those who are fearless with their style. And although this fashion trend leaves little to the imagination, you can still have fun with mesh pieces without baring all your bits. We suggest pairing your favourite sheer dress with a simple bandeau bra top and matching boy short or cheeky pair of pants. Alternatively, you can style this look with any ...
24 Trainers That Will Work With Everything in Your Wardrobe
I’ve spent over a decade working as a journalist and most of that has been working in fashion. Over time, those of us who work in this area find they’re more drawn to certain subjects than others. For me, trainers and the surrounding trends have always had a pull. I’m not really sure what it is that has always fascinated me but I imagine growing up as a teenager in the late ’90s with the likes of Oasis and Blur making sports casual something cool and desirable has a lot to answer for. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve always enjoyed the softening effect that sneakers can have on outfits. Formal shoes can feel too old-fashioned with suits but the moment you wear a pair of Adidas Stan Smiths, you’ve got a Phoebe Philo-approved look. Add a pair of high-...
This Jeans Trend Keeps Trying to Come Back, Here’s Proof It’s On the Rise
If there’s one jeans trend we see vacillating in and out of fashion from season to season it’s flared jeans. The ‘70s silhouette always makes an appearance on the runways practically every season—and this spring/summer ’21 was no exception. From Victoria Beckham to Balmain we saw everything from bootcut styles to traditional flares and loose, wide-leg styles pop up on the runways confirming that the retro silhouette is well and truly back in full force—and this season they feel refreshingly modern and cool. We’re seeing the flattering jeans making waves on Instagram too—spotted all over our favorite fashion girls lately—pairing them with everything from sneakers to cute cardigans. Take a peek below to see how cool girls are styling the trend right now and shop our favorites...
The 2 Products I’m Recommending to All My Friends Who Want Brighter Skin
Along with cardigan weather and brighter mornings, there’s one thing that spring’s arrival guarantees without fail: a flurry of messages from friends and family asking me how they can get their skin looking brighter. Yes, after a long winter spent inside with a distinct lack of vitamin D, most of us are emerging into the early days of spring with dull, tired-looking complexions and we’re seeking solutions, fast. Luckily, our sister skincare line Versed is one step ahead having just launched two new products that are about to be our saving grace for brighter, glowier skin this spring. I’ve been testing them out since they landed on my doorstep last month and they’ve gone straight to the top of my recommendation list for anyone whos...
I’m 53, But People Think I’m in My 30s–Here Are the Products I Swear By
My mum and I discuss everything, and that goes tenfold on the topic of skincare. She’s one of the most product obsessed people I know; if it’s available to buy, chances are she’s tried it. It hasn’t always been this way though—her intense skincare obsession started about ten years ago, growing from a novelty interest in Youtube beauty videos to full-fledged enthusiasm combing through hundreds of product reviews online. As she tells me, her carefully curated nine-step skincare routine has been years in the making, testing and recalibrating every step until finding that one formula that doesn’t break her out or exaggerate her hyperpigmentation. And, it seems to be working. It’s not uncommon for my mother to receive a flurry of complimen...
We’re Basically Planning To Live in These 7 Outfits This Spring
Okay, we’re officially confused about the weather. One second it’s sub-zero winds, and the next it’s balmy 15-degree sunshine. Seriously, England—make up your mind.

So when it comes to deciding what to wear this March, we’re taking a tentative—but no less stylish—approach and offering up five simple outfits that can easily be layered up or dressed down according to your needs.

TikTok Star, Model, Fashion Boy Wisdom Kaye Is No Longer On the Rise—He’s Here
What’s one thing you wish would change when it comes to conversations around diversity in the fashion industry? I think diversity should start from within. In my opinion, though, both are important. I think it’s more important than those who are pulling the strings are who we want to represent us as opposed to who we SEE being represented. If internally you have a creative team that’s, of course, great and passionate about their craft that’s diverse, then your results will show that genuinely and naturally. You’ll see the diversity in the results be it a campaign like my recent campaigns with AE, runway, an editorial, a movie, or whatever the medium might be. If the people in control are a non-diverse group, then efforts to be inclusive are executed poorly due...
2D Bags: A Trend We Have Many Slack Convos About
When my Slack messages begin returning to the same topic again and again, it tells me one thing loud a clear—this is about to be big. That’s exactly what occurred to me when my fellow editors started dropping messages with bags from the S/S 21 the Givenchy, Jil Sander, and Hermès collections. All of them with sleek, slim, two-dimensions silhouettes that practically look like manila envelopes. These paper-thin filing folder bags instantly read as fresh and cool. A major departure from the oversize bag trend that popped up a few seasons back, 2D bags might not have as much storage, but are certainly just as eye-catching. Sized to fit your phone and ID (and not much else), they already have me thinking about how I can streamline what I pack into my bag. Ahead, let’s dive into the 2D bag trend...
