& Other Stories Cult Blazer Is Back For 2020 and is Looking Better Than Ever
They say nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy (or something like that, right?). Regardless, it’s a feeling of regret I know all too well. Last year, I fell head over heels for a cover-up from & Other Stories. Specifically, a woollen blazer. A light beige hue with an oversized silhouette and a weighty, woven finish, the blazer would make for the perfect accompaniment to my off-duty jeans-and-jumper outfits. It would also make for a chic throw-on over printed dresses and pleated midi skirts. Maybe I was waiting for payday, or perhaps I’d recently bought something else. Whatever the reason, I decided to wait for a couple of weeks to treat myself. However, as you’ve likely already surmised, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. As such, I spent...

Land Rover Defender Visual History: How the Off-Road SUV Got Here
Land Rover Series I (1948-1958) See all 165 photos The Rover Company had a problem after the second World War. Europe was in shambles and there wasn’t much demand for the sort of luxury cars Rover had made in the past. Inspired by the Willys Jeep, they developed the first Land Rover, an agriculturally focused four-wheel-drive truck with a steel frame and an aluminum body. It entered production in 1948 and what would come to be known as the Land Rover Series I was born. It was offered in various configurations that differed in wheelbase, door count, and body style. Land Rover Series II (1958-1971) See all 165 photos The Series II made its debut 10 years later in 1958. Its exterior design featured the same inboard headlights and boxy profile as the Series I but added a pronounced shoul...

9 New Trends Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Gucci Are Fully Responsible For
Few designer brands are as wildly influential as Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Gucci at this moment in time. When they put something fresh and new on the runway, dozens of brands follow suit, and then we have ourselves a trend. A/W 2020 was no exception to that. But when designers sent their collections down the runway back in February and early March, little did we know that our lives were about to change significantly. While we may not have the same wardrobe needs that we usually do in the fall this year, we still want to know what the trends are so that we can selectively choose which ones we’re going to add to our wardrobes. And there’s no better place to suss them out than the runways of these It brands. We closely examined the fall collect...

I’ve Spent the Weekend Looking At Puffer Coats, and These Are My Favourites
Puffer coats have long been considered practical, but stylish? Prior to last winter, we would have said otherwise. However, thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion girl must-have. Last year, their sartorial status has 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. However, with an asking price surplus of £6,000, needless to say we started to commence the search for more affordable puffer coat variations. And what we found is that some of the strongest styles out there come courtesy of the high street. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are look...
Layering Tricks That Will Help You Outsmart the Weather This Year
If the thought of layering clothes gives you flashbacks to being told to dress for school with the requisite reminder, “Don’t forget your coat,” we promise you that piling it on has never been better. We’ve long associated experimental layering with the Olsen twins during the mid-noughties—hiding from the paparazzi in mountains of bohemian fabrics and hefty coatigans. And a decade later, playful layering is still on the style agenda, especially when navigating weatherproof dressing in winter. To help, we’ve compiled key layering tricks that will help you get more wear out of your existing favourites over the next few months and help you decide what you need to invest in.
