Celebs Are Suddenly Backing These Controversial Jean Trends
Life is boring and tedious if we know what’s coming round the corner. And it’s good to be surprised once in a while (although, for the record, I would like to not be surprised by any more future pandemics). Ultimately, not having the answers to everything keeps stuff interesting. That’s especially true of the fashion world. Last month, we published our denim report, telling you about the biggest trends, what the cult brands are and how denim is the trend of 2021. While our denim insiders told us that barrel leg and patchwork are arguably two of the bigger trends to watch out for, there are a few other surprising ones we’ve recently discovered. First, there’s the tie-ankle jeans trend which we’ve spotted on Rochelle Humes. Then, ...

This Is the One Dress Brand Every Editor Wants to Own
Every now and then, a brand comes along and captures the hearts of the global fashion set. It’s not always in the flashy, “must buy every piece and wear it immediately” sense when the hype around a new creative director at a big fashion house reaches its zenith. Sometimes, it happens with a softly-softly approach, where an unyielding urge to just own something—anything—grows over time. Stylists, editors and influencers have plenty of beautiful clothes to enjoy, but there’s always room for a new, special addition, and one such example in recent times is most definitely Aje, specifically Aje’s dresses. Almost everyone on our team agrees that to lay claim to an Aje midi would be a truly wonderful thing. It’s an invest...
2020’s Summer It Bag is Back and Looking Better Than Ever
Raffia tote bags have been a hallmark of the quintessential summer wardrobe for decades. From Brigitte Bardot to Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, over the years, many stylish women have chosen the item for beach days, park picnics and beyond. However, while the carryall has typically held an under-the-radar, effortless kind of appeal, last year raffia tote bags became quite the It item thanks to Spanish luxury brand, Loewe. Featuring an adjustable leather handle and the brand’s instantly recognisable insignia, Loewe’s raffia totes bags became somewhat ubiquitous amongst the fashion set. From Camille Charriere to Pernille Teisbeak, the item (which is available in various colours and sizes) graced my Instagram feed more times than I co...
I’ve Had Dark Circles All My Life, and These Are the Only Products That Work
The topic of dark circles within the beauty industry is one that has frustrated me for as long as I can remember. You see, I came into this world sporting an impressive pair of purple rings underneath my eyes. I have spent most of my life batting off concerns from people that I look tired, drained and unwell. Honestly, I’m fine. It’s just my dark circles. For many, dark circles don’t come about because of lifestyle choices. Sure, things like dehydration, lack of sleep and a poor skincare routine can worsen the situation, but for people like me, dark circles are permanent fixtures. Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic, explains, “The term ‘dark circles’ is used to describe increased pigmentation of the under-eye and is a very ...
2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon vs. 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo: Long-Roof Scorchers!
Porsche Panamera Full Overview It’s a wonderful time to be an automotive enthusiast, but that time may be drawing to a close. So, covet, flog, or fantasize about the road-scorching 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S and 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo wagons while you can. Hybrids and battery electric vehicles can produce equally impressive performances, too, and those segments are rapidly growing. It’s an automotive minute before midnight for this kind of twin-turbo V-8 internal-combustion excess, especially the long-roof wagon variety. So, let’s compare two of the best examples still extant. Muscle Wagon Origin The muscle wagon’s origins can be traced back to good ol’ American models stuffed with powerful muscle-car engines: The ’57 Chevy Nomad w...
First 2021 Ford Bronco, VIN 001, Sells for Over $1 Million
This weekend, the first official 2021 Ford Bronco, the SUV with VIN 001, was auctioned to the highest bidder by Barrett-Jackson—for $1,075,000. Of course, the proceeds are going to charity, specifically in support of the National Forest Foundation and Outward Bound. Both charities are geared toward spreading understanding of the outdoors and a sense of conservation—perfect, given how a new Bronco is sure to be best enjoyed way off the beaten bath. But wait a second, you might be thinking—someone just took home a new Bronco, and we’re all down here waiting to do the same while initial production is delayed, so what gives? Not so fast. No, the Bronco isn’t available yet, and no, the winning bidder at Barrett-Jackson isn’t driving home right now in a brand-spankin’ new...

8 Wardrobe Staples That Are Officially Trend-Proof
Before you go on, no, this is not a story about jeans, white T-shirts, and tote bags. While those are all wardrobe staples, today, I am here to chat with you about pieces that once were wardrobe basics but somehow became trendy. These pieces then managed to make themselves right at home again in the basics section of our closet. Last year, we saw the rise of minimalist, expensive-looking style (some would even describe it as “bourgeoisie“), which ended up altering the way women viewed style and outfit composition in its entirety. What used to be a severe focus on trends shifted to a rampant acquisition of quality basics (i.e., relaxed suiting, nice knits, and practical accessories). In a way, this major sartorial shift kind of is the trend. Suddenly, we look in our closet and i...
Now That It’s Bare-Ankle Season, I Can’t Stop Thinking About These Sandals
It has just dawned on me that this week marks the first time this year that I’ve stepped out of the house in shoes without socks on. Granted, I was wearing loafers, but being able to leave the comfort of cosy central heating sans socks and not immediately freeze was (and remains) the most exciting thing to happen to me in a long while. The frivolity of bare ankles soon led me to start thinking about an upcoming purchase I’m planning on making. For the past couple of years—including 2020 if you’re choosing to observe it—chunky sandals have dominated. There are a couple of key styles we can pin this on: Chanel’s double-Velcro-strap quilted flats and The Row’s cult Ginza chunky flip-flops. Now, I’ve thought it through, and I’ve decided that chunk...
