Olivia Wilde Went Shopping in Paris in the Perfect Winter Denim Outfit
Between dating drama and Don’t Worry Darling, the past year has seen Olivia Wilde dominate headlines, but we’re not one for idle gossip—instead, we’ve been focusing on the actor and director’s style, which has been incredibly impressive of late. And recently, Wilde was spotted while out shopping in Paris wearing what just might be the most ideal cold-weather denim outfit we’ve seen this season. Clad in bootcut jeans, an oversize black shearling biker jacket, and sold-out Khaite Calgary boots, Wilde managed to wear a look that’s both accessible and aspirational—lest we forget to point out the Proenza Schouler PS1 Tiny satchel she was toting—for anyone seeking easy winter-outfit inspo.

8 Stylish Alternatives I’ll Be Wearing Instead of Leggings This Year
First things first, I’d like to profess my love for leggings; honestly, I don’t know how I would have gotten dressed over the past three years without them. Prior to that, I’d never really have worn them out of the house save from going to the gym or dashing out for a coffee. Now, however, I wear them whilst working, heading to the shops and meeting my friends for brunch on the weekend; they’re a staple in my wardrobe and always will be. Still, I believe that you can have too much of a good thing, and I worry that I’ll tire of leggings at the rate I’m currently wearing them. The solution? To find other items I can wear just as easily and, crucially, that are as comfortable as leggings. Pyjamas might seem like the closest relative to leggings, but I think...

We Asked The Experts—These 5 Eyebrow Trends Will Be Huge in 2023
There was a time in the not so distant past where your brows needed to be filled in, perfectly arched, and blocky in order to prove that you were clued up on the latest eyebrow trends. Bold brows, in general, were everywhere, with multi-step brow routines inspiring a boom in the creation of brow pomades, gels, pencils, and powders. However, in recent years, makeup trends in general have evolved towards a ‘less is more’, natural-looking approach. Eyebrow trends have followed suit, with fluffy, brushed-up (verging on unruly) brows dominating on both the catwalks and our Instagram feeds. “I’ve definitely been using less in my brows and I know my clients have too,” says makeup artist and brow specialist Lucy Hart. “Brows are definitely a lot softer compared to previous year...
I Had Adult Cradle Cap—Here’s How I Got My Scalp Back to Normal
Moving away from constantly styling my hair, opting for lower-tension hairstyles and no longer following practices like oiling my scalp, which, according to trichologist Ebuni Ajiduah, “can also contribute to skin conditions and make scalp symptoms much worse,” were hard adjustments despite the fact they inevitably helped get my scalp back to normal. According to Ajiduah, “the body works by continually monitoring its environment and adjusting its response, so when we grease or oil our scalp, effectively we are telling the sebaceous glands to kick back, and we will handle it. That would be okay if we didn’t have a whole system designed to do it already, and the products we used matched the natural secretion and were not harmful. The products I list...
I Love a Chic Black Dress—These Are the 25 I Really Rate
Much like a pair of jeans, or a crisp shirt, a black dress is a fashion piece that keeps on giving. It’s become the hero garment for transitional dressing and both luxury and high street brands are forever in a bid to create the perfect black dress, to withstand the change of seasons. The classic LBD cemented its place as a fashion staple many moons ago. Although the origin of the LBD is ascribed to eveningwear, the versatility of a black dress is something that’s been carried throughout the decades. Now, black dresses—little or oversized, short or long—are a staple. The current offerings are aplenty, so you’ll most definitely find something in keeping with your taste.

This Artist Somehow Turned a Loaf of Bread Into the Artwork of Aphex Twin’s Debut Album
Iain Ross isn’t loafing around when it comes to perfecting his craft. The grain-smith, better known as thug.loaf, has amassed an impressive following across multiple short-form video-sharing platforms by stenciling iconic album covers into baked goods.

MIMA Will Spotlight the Connection Between Art and Boxing in New Exhibition
The Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art (MIMA) is showcasing a different corner of the boxing ring, as the artistic nature of the sport is given full focus. Entitled Local Heroes, the exhibition is partially inspired by Ancient Greek gymnasiums and centers around both the performative and mental aspects of boxing. Opening next month in Brussels, the show presents an array of artworks spanning posters, photographs, drawings and unique combat clothing that further bridges the gap between boxing and the art world. The museum is also working with boxing associations, such as the BBA and IBP, who are viewed as the “local heroes” of the sport, whose fighters will assume the role of artists as they showcase their craft and creativity when stepping in the ring. Complementing the events, Algerian-B...
7 Surprisingly Ineffective Skincare Products You’ve Been Wasting Your Money On
With thousands of skincare products to choose from (and more and more launching every day), it can become surprisingly easy to loose track of what your skin really needs as you get sucked into buying the latest trending ingredient or viral product.
