The High Street Puffer Coats That Will Get You Through the Cold Snap
Puffer coats have long been considered practical, but stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion girl must-have. Arguably it was last year when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak, with the likes of Bottega Veneta creating a very special leather puffer coat, which swiftly made its way to the top of many an editor and influencer’s wish list. But then in 2020, as we’re all spending a lot more time outside, the duvet coat has become a must-have for everyone, and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. It’s not surprising then that according to global fashion search platform Lyst, that searches for “duvet coat” are &...
Megan Thee Stallion & Tinder Are Offering Up $1 Million for Daters Who Put Themselves Out There
Having Meg step up as the Hot Girl Coach is a no-brainer after Tinder announced her Hot 100 No. 1 hit “WAP” with Cardi B was its certified freaky anthem of the year. The dating app exclusively revealed its “10 Essential Dating Anthems” of 2020 to Billboard this week, and “WAP” hopped to the top of the list. And Meg’s other Hot 100 chart-topper this year, the Beyoncé-assisted “Savage” remix, came in at No. 7 on the list. “It’s been a challenging year, but we still see our members showing up with their next-level humor, creativity and honesty in their bios. For those who are having a harder time putting themselves out there, we want to give them an extra boost of confidence and that’s why we’re bringing some of t...
2021 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel First Test: Not the Perfect Truck You Were Expecting
Jeep Gladiator Full Overview It’s happened to all of us. You order something new off the menu because the description and ingredients sound like a sure bet, only to find out the dish is just OK. It happens with cars and trucks, too. The 2021 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel sounds like a winning combination of torquey diesel powertrain, off-road suspension, and Jeep character, and it is all of those things. It’s just not great as an actual, you know, pickup truck. The Gladiator EcoDiesel Sure Is Quick, Though . . . The good news is our initial impressions were right: The EcoDiesel engine delivers acceleration that is noticeably quicker than the standard gasoline engine. The quickest Gladiator we’ve ever tested, another base model Sport but one that was fitted with the gas V-6 and...
2021 Nissan Armada First Look: Patrolling for Full-Size SUV Shoppers
Call it collateral damage, because Nissan’s updates to the 2021 Armada full-size SUV manage to inadvertently undermine the role of its luxury-oriented, mechanically similar Infiniti QX80 counterpart. Admittedly, the Infiniti‘s premium badge and slightly more sculptural sheetmetal help set it apart from the Nissan‘s more plebeian nameplate and squarer looks. Still—and as in past generations—it seems those are about the only reasons to spring for a 2021 QX80 over a top-spec 2021 Armada. 2021 Nissan Armada: Maw Patrol Like its international counterpart, the Nissan Patrol, the 2021 Nissan Armada sports fresh front and rear ends that incorporate the Japanese brand’s latest design language. Anchored by a prominent grille and blocky LED headlights, the refreshed ArmadaR...
The Best Coats, Boots, Bags, and Knits to Buy in the Sales
We’ve talked at length about what makes a solid sale-season purchase and what kind of clever tactics one should implement in the effort to avoid buying wardrobe duds, but if there’s just one super-quick pearl of shopping wisdom I would impart time and again, it’s that if you can purchase quality classics at a lower price, you won’t go wrong. And there’s no other time of the year when quality classics are so abundant and so important to our everyday closets. Where you may feel that a flirty summer dress or piece of swimwear doesn’t have to break the bank, a decent coat, knit, pair of boots, or handbag will last you year after year after year. So you want versions that are sturdy, well made, timeless in design, and simple enough to work...
The Chicest Pyjamas To Wear Around the House This Christmas
This time of year is typically when we see a spike in sales of fancy pyjamas, as many indulge in beautiful PJs for the Christmas period or to give as a gift. Given our lead-up to Christmas this year is spent pre-dominantly on the sofa, rather than bar hopping, it’s unsurprising that for many of us pyjamas have become something of a second skin. If you’re looking to upgrade from your trusty old flannel PJs, there are a number of cool labels creating beautiful sets that are worth spending a little more on. Case in point: cult Scandi brand Ganni has just dropped an exclusive pyjama collaboration with Browns Fashion, comprising of cosy co-ords that offer the perfect balance of classic fabrics with plenty of cool-girl appeal.&n...
Holly Willoughby Just Wore the Same Dress as K-Mids, and It Looks So Good
Holly Willoughby is known for chronicling her outfits for This Morning on Instagram and we always keep an eye on her updates to gather any style inspiration. Well, with the festive season coming up Holly just stepped out in literally the dreamiest dress from cult brand The Vampire’s Wife, and according to liketoknow.it, it caused a 2,700% increase in searches for the brand. If that’s not enough, she also ticks the eco-credentials box as the dress was rented fashion rental platform Hurr. I guess it shouldn’t be that much of a shock. While there have been plenty of contenders for the top spot, it’s The Vampire’s Wife that remains the choice dress outfitter when it comes to celebs. Seen everywhere from across Instagram to a...
Kate Middleton Just Wore the Trend I’d Happily Ditch My Skinny Jeans For
Kate Middleton and Prince William have been active on Zoom calls with charities throughout the pandemic, but this week they decided to take the show on the road. They embarked on a socially-distanced and masked train tour to support people and programs that have helped with COVID-19 relief efforts. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge traveled to Scotland and Wales—and yes, they really did take the train. Middleton wore a total of five different outfits during the tour, including some festive holiday-themed looks. But my favorite was when she wore wide-leg trousers with a sleek coat and heels. I’m obsessed with wide-leg pants and would gladly trade my skinny jeans for them because they look so polished without trying hard. Plus, they’re great for...

I’m Seriously Fussy, But These Are the 15 Best Festive Candles This Year
I’m putting it out there: I’m a candle hoarder. I have drawers full of them. From fresh, airy scents to woody, spicy aromas, I’ve got a plethora of options in my collection—one for every mood. And as a candle obsessive, we’re finally entering my favourite time of the year. With Christmas approaching, I’m gearing up to unwrap all of the most festive scents in my collection and turn my home into a Christmassy grotto. The only problem is that when it comes to Christmas scents, I’m seriously fussy. The idea of filling my room with the sorts of traditional heady, sickly scents associated with Christmas makes me want to run for the hills. I like my festive candles to smell fresh and crisp but with a warming (but not headache-inducing) base that makes me want to snuggle up under a blanket. A...
23 of the Best Candles to Make Your Home Smell Incredible
As the days become shorter and the temperatures drop, we find ourselves looking for new ways to cosify our homes, and nothing can bestow your rooms with a hygge appeal quite like scented candles. Let’s be honest: If there was ever a time for bringing a little extra zen into our households, it’s probably now as we prepare to hunker down in more ways than one. Needless to say, it’s challenging to separate your work and home spaces or switch off your mind when you need to, something that is made all the more difficult with the dark nights. But something simple like lighting your favourite candle can be an easy way to change the vibe of a room and get you to that happy place. We all have our little routines, whether it’s having a daily bubble bath or doing an at-home y...
Katie Holmes Wore the Season’s Trendiest Skinny Jeans
Katie Holmes loves jeans. We know this. She’s photographed almost every day and is almost always wearing jeans, and those jeans are almost always of the classic straight-leg variety. But not this time. Holmes wore a pair of light-wash skinny jeans that were anything but basic, thanks to the somewhat dramatic slit at the hem. Given the popularity of the slit-hem leggings trend this year, we’re not all that surprised that skinny jeans are the next iteration of the trend. It’s been on our radar as we’ve seen more and more slit-him jeans on our shopping travels lately, and Katie Holmes’s endorsement basically solidifies the trend. The true New Yorker that she is, she paired the jeans with a black wool coat and black heeled ankle boots (sorry, you’r...
