These Oversize Shirts Are the Ultimate Autumnal Staple
Long before we even knew the word ‘covid’, we were repeating the phrase “unprecedented times”, and our wardrobes turned into a Groundhog day of comfy-but-smart pieces, fashion was already looking towards a more classic, pared-back approach. Our spring/summer 2020 report revealed that one of the most in-demand pieces for that season was a blue The Row shirt. Then the autumn/winter 2020 runways confirmed it: this season is about the pieces you’ll be wearing forever and not just for a few months. In our trend report for this season, Elizabeth von der Goltz, global buying director at Net-a-Porter said that customers will be making more considered purchases with sustainability in min and that “our wardrobes will be more hardworking than ev...
5 Pairs of Autumn Boots That Always Look Good With Jeans
Like salt and pepper and Sonny and Cher, jeans-and-boots are one of those pairings that were simply made to be together. Whether you’re a flares fanatic or dark denim devotee, there’s a boot trend that will complement your jean style of choice, and now that the autumnal weather is starting to creep in, it’s the perfect time to work out what your jeans-and-boots persona will be for 2020. When looking for a new pair of autumn boots, our recommendation would be opt for a style that you know will go with a wide range of denim trends. Just look at the heeled, knee-high boot: It might seem like a tricky style, but in fact it’ll look just as good under wide leg jeans as it will over skinnys. Or even this season’s combat s...
I Think These 9 Designers Make the Very Best Boots
Boots are always a key investment for this time of year, however when we spoke to luxury fashion buyers to compile our autumn winter 2020 trend report, they all stressed how this is the year of the boot. If you are considering purchasing a pair of designer boots, then below we have a guide to the brands we think are really worth investing in. “Boots are a staple for this season,” said Tiffany Hsu, the Fashion Buying Director at MyTheresa. “The utilitarian mood was a favorite in Milan—particularly from the likes of Prada and Miu Miu, who offered full, army-inspired, heavy-duty styles. High combat boots are making a comeback, and we set our eyes on the iconic Ann Demeulemeester knee-high, lace-up black boots.” If you’re into the chunky boot t...
These Luxury Soaps Will Make Washing Your Hands a Spa-Like Experience

This Little-Known Brand Has Created the Perfect Dresses
If I’m being totally honest, I have very few reasons to wear dresses right now. I spend my 9-to-5 working at a desk in my house and often wear loose-fitting trousers and a jumper and then I’ll change into a Bella Freud T-shirt that’s so worn it’s like a second skin, a pair of joggers and my favourite Weekday knit that has leg of mutton sleeves (because, fashion). While the pandemic has given me an arguably comfier wardrobe, I absolutely miss getting dressed up for work. Usually, my office attire would consist of pretty dresses and smart tailored pieces, which I’d then wear out during the weekend when I’ve gone to meet friends for brunches or the occasional night out with my husband (we have a toddler so it’s a rare occurrence anyway)...
The Midcentury Buys That’ll Make Your Home Look So Premium
I am currently in the process of moving house, and so naturally, I have found myself lost down a Pinterest hole. I am a woman obsessed: I start scrolling through pages and pages of interiors inspo and next thing I know I’ve lost three hours of my life to table lamps. Pinterest FOMO is real. There’s always the promise of a better pin one tantalising scroll away. The silver lining is that I am now a walking interiors encyclopedia, particularly for anything midcentury modern–related (aka my interiors aesthetic of choice).

The One Jacket Style I’ve Worn More Than Any Other This Year
I don’t know about you, but if, like me, you’ve been working from home over the last six months, you may have unwittingly developed your very own lockdown capsule, (i.e., a rotation of staples that you’ve instinctively reached for day in and day out). For many of us, this will invariably include a few more elasticated waistbands and slippers than our normal wardrobe capsules, as comfort and practicality have, naturally, moved to the top of our priority list.

Flume, Alison Wonderland, Big Gigantic, More Featured on “FIFA 21” Soundtrack
Soccer fans everywhere are preparing their thumbs for the release of EA Sports‘ FIFA 21. In addition to the promised gameplay and graphical improvements, the developers have announced what artists will be soundtracking players’ matches for the coming year. The 2021 soundtrack has been split into two. One-half covers the base game while the other handles the street soccer portion of the application, “Volta Football.” Between the pair, players will have access to tunes from more than 100 artists representing over 20 countries. Fans were excited to see music showcasing many different cultures together in one place—similar to how the world’s most popular sport unites spectators and players from all corners of the globe. The main difference between the tw...
Blake Shelton Let Gwen Stefani Dye His Hair During Quarantine
Blake Shelton didn’t just trust Gwen Stefani to cut his hair during quarantine. He also trusted her enough to dye it once he realized he was going gray. During his appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday (Sept. 28), the country singer explained how he noticed something else about his hair when his girlfriend-turned-hair stylist gave him a quarantine mullet on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in April. “We were on Jimmy’s show and I think I saw a picture back, and I turned my head to the side at some point, and it was just…. There was no more salt and pepper. It’s just salt,” he laughed. “And so I said, ‘Oh my God, when did this happen to me?'” Despite limited physical encounters with other ...
Lucid Air Tri-Motor Prototype Aims to Usurp the Tesla Model S Plaid
Jump in your time machine children, because it’s time to head all the back to the year 2017. A specially modified version of the Dodge Challenger Hellcat—called the Demon—ran the quarter-mile in 9.7 seconds. Yes, it had pizza-cutter front wheels, was missing three seats, drank 100-octane race gas, ran on a prepped drag surface, and took advantage of a weather phenomenon called “mineshaft air” (where the barometer drops to the pressure you’d see 650 feet below sea level). Dodge achieved this result exactly once (an engineer I spoke with who was there said it was a non-repeatable number—he knows because he tried) and never bothered to hand out a single press car so that any sort of third-party could verify the claim. Still, ask everyone on the internet what the quicke...
Polestar Precept Show Car Gets the Green Light
It was supposed to be a flight of fancy. A vision quest, a commitment car, and a bunch of other adjectives, all of which led Polestar to go so far as to forgo calling its Precept show car a “concept.” Despite this, Polestar is now sending the well-received, low-slung electric sedan into production at a new plant in China. Expected name: Polestar 4. Polestar, the electric performance vehicle brand jointly owned by Volvo Car Group and Zhejiang Geely Holding, is still fledging. The first offering in 2017, appropriately named the Polestar 1, was a plug-in hybrid grand touring coupe. But the brand’s mandate soon became all-electric cars only, and to that end, the 2021 Polestar 2 arrives as a battery-electric sedan that delivers 408 hp, 487-lb-ft of torque, and a targ...
This Is the Perfect Autumn Accessories Capsule, Hands Down
Top of our wishlist are the buttery leather knee-high Spice boots and the Selsie, their suede sister, which mark the return of tall boots for yet another season. (That’s right: invest now, if you haven’t already). The Pictor black boots are also high up on that list as an excellent elevated biker style, made to be worn with all those cottage-core dresses we indulged in this summer to bring them seasonally up to date. The versatile Outshine ankle boots might just be the most-perfect heeled ankle boot we’ve seen in a long time—sculptural, minimal, and guaranteed to go with everything. And we’re calling it now—theDaydream boucle slingbacks are bound to be another Instagram hit. They’ll dress up any jeans-and-blazer outfit in an instant, and it’s making us very excited to be dressi...
