5 Trending Colours & Other Stories Is Backing Right Now
It feels like getting up in the morning is just that bit harder in January. The grey mornings and bouts of rain don’t lend themselves to an enthusiastic jump out of bed, or the feeling of being ready for the day. But we think there’s something to be said about dressing for the days you want, not the days you have. As much as we love a black, white and grey uniform, perhaps our clothes can help brighten up these gloomy mornings. And clearly, & Other Stories agrees. While scrolling through their new-in section, as I do pretty much every day, I noticed that & Other Stories has an array of exciting colours that are destined to inject joy into even the rainiest days. It might feel daunting for anyone who sticks to a minimalist regime when dress...

I’ve worked in fashion for over two decades, and despite a constant flurry of new trends and styles, when it comes to truly dressing for your own wants and needs, what I come back to again and again is a collection of staples that help bring my capsule wardrobe together.

7 Classic and Interesting French Outfits I Can’t Wait to Re-Create
While there are many who still love the traditional, pared-back aesthetic, Instagram proves that it is no longer representative of the average fashion-loving Parisienne, with influencers such as Camille Charrière and Ellie Delphine from Slip Into Style bringing a more experimental approach to the table while still managing to be chic at all times, of course. “We love a statement shoe, an extravagant piece of costume jewellery, a flashy print or one piece that will make heads turn,” says Ellie. To get a better sense of what classic French style looks like in 2023, we scoured the feeds of our favourite Gallic girls to see the outfit formulas they wear on repeat. From cool co-ords to trainers with everything, scroll down to see what it takes to perf...
Compelling Reviews: People Swear These Products Transform Their Flat, Thin Hair
Similar to many people, I wasn’t born with thick and voluminous hair—it’s pretty fine and thin, to say the least. While I love my natural hair, I’m always on the hunt for the best volumizing hair products to give my strands more height and dimension. Now, I’m not trying to look like a popular reality television personality (you know who I’m talking about), but I want my hair to have some lift and simply zhuzh it up just a bit. And similar to most of my shopping needs, I turn to popular retailers like Amazon, Target, and Ulta to look for products that may fit the bill, especially when it comes to haircare. However, not every product lives up to its advertised standards, which is why looking at the reviews is critical to making an informed purchase. To help you find the best...

I Spent 4 Days in Paris—Here’s Everything I Packed and Wore
Most of our plans meant that once we left our hotel in the morning, we wouldn’t be back until it was time to go to bed. As such, my outfits had to work for almost every eventuality: gallery touring, metro hopping and crêpe eating all the way through to cocktail sipping. Though I stuck to flat shoes, my outfits felt elevated enough to continue wearing after dark, which meant I didn’t feel the need or want to pack two looks for each day. Now, with Paris city break bookings at record highs, I thought it might be useful to show you what I packed for my own Channel-hop. Below, I’ve outlined in outfit-build form the looks I chose for my trip, which should give you an idea of how I mixed and matched certain pieces and re-wore others. While my attire might be best suited to warm weather, I’m...
Salvation and prosperity and finding God
Salvation and prosperity are concepts that are often linked to one’s relationship with a higher power or deity. In many religious traditions, salvation is seen as the state of being saved or protected from harm or eternal damnation. Prosperity, on the other hand, is often associated with material wealth and success. Finding God, for many people, is a lifelong journey. It can involve studying religious texts, participating in religious practices, and engaging in personal reflection and introspection. For some, the experience of finding God is sudden and transformative, while for others it may be a gradual process. One way to understand the relationship between salvation and prosperity is to see them as two sides of the same coin. In many religious traditions, the path to salvat...
Caleb Sok’s Sayber Design Profiles the Toyota GR86 and His Team’s Latest Super GT GR86 Build
For Hypebeast’s newest series, Garage Visits, we profiled Caleb Sok and his Sayber Design shop. Sok and his custom auto shop specialize in aerodynamic body kit development, which have designed special carbon fiber hoods, fenders, front lips and more for cars like the Toyota Supra.

I Tried On This Year’s Biggest Colour Trends—These Are the Ones You Need to See
There’s something about winter dressing that makes us immediately want to retreat to the sanctuary of neutral colours. Black, white and beige are failsafes after all (and anything that saves us time getting ready in the morning means more time in a cosy bed), but there is also a strong case for beating the January blues by refreshing your wardrobe with some colourful brights. I have always loved experimenting with colour, and although I don’t own a little black dress, I do have a red one, a silver one, a yellow one and a camel one that I find just as versatile. I find mood-boosting hues can really put the fun back into dressing up. This season, it would appear designers agree, as along with the frills and florals we e...

8 Simple ’90s Outfits That I’d Still Happily Wear Today
As a child of the ’90s, I’ll admit that there are many trends of that decade that I’d rather leave behind (pencil-thin eyebrows and towering Spice Girls–esque platform sneakers among them). And while I did dabble in some of the era’s more questionable looks—including butterfly clips and plastic chokers—I’m convinced the decade is far chicer than we give it credit for. You only have to look as far as celebrity throwbacks featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Campbell or Jennifer Aniston to see that the most standout looks from the ’90s were often the simplest. From knit dresses to chic silk slips, the outfits that can be categorised as easy and effortless are also the most prominent looks that have stood the test of time. With ...
