Autumn/Winter 2022 Fashion Trends: The 16 Looks You Need to Know About
The overarching mood of autumn/winter 2022’s fashion trends can be summed up in one word: Nostalgia. Now, nostalgia comes in many different forms depending on your age, experiences and interests. Whatever you might associate with happier, simpler times has likely been translated to the runways for the upcoming season because the creative collectives in New York, London, Milan and Paris have all been feeling that desire for a better life. Designers powered through the past two pandemic years with optimism, channelling their energies in quite literal pick-me-up trends such as dopamine dressing—a hashtag that continues to garner attention on almost all social platforms—but with the easing up of restrictions and a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, more v...
COS Coats Are Top Tier—22 Styles That Have Impressed Me This Autumn
With its clean aesthetic and fuss-free mantra, COS is of course a destination for minimalists. Excelling in everything from crisp shirting to love-forever knitwear, tailored trousers, and of course coats, it’s basically a one-stop-shop to pick up all your elevated basics. But with a mix of silhouettes and a plethora of coloured and neutral iterations, it can be tricky to narrow it down to just one COS coat we expect to see everywhere this season. So, instead, we’re going to show you 18 that have garnered the attention of every editor in our office. From the classic belted camel coat to leather iterations, these are the high street coats with a difference this season. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Trust Me–These 11 Hair Colours Are the Most Low-Maintenance
Maintenance and hair colouring are normally synonymous terms. No matter how subtle your colour is, if you have altered your hair’s hue you are going to need to upkeep it in some way. Trust me, I speak as a beauty editor that’s been told this many, many times but didn’t actually get it until I first coloured my hair drastically. It was a honey bronde balayage and wow did it require upkeep. I had to have a slick rotation of colour-protecting shampoos, deep conditioners and heat protections in my beauty lineup. I didn’t leave the salon until I had another toning appointment scheduled. It felt like a full-on side hustle. I learnt a hard but worthwhile lesson: If you are drastically changing the colour of your hair, there is no such thing as easy hair colour but there ...
I’m in the Mood for Something New, and These Zara and H&M Items Are It
Sure, there are pretty pieces in every H&M and Zara category, but that makes their respective websites a bit of a thirst trap, where appearances can easily lull you.

While our personal styles might not match up, and that’s totally okay, I do believe I’ve managed to curate an edit of the best Zara and H&M fashion items that won’t date for you below.

Anna Wintour’s Airport Outfit Includes the Shoe Trend I’d Never Travel In
Anna Wintour is nothing if not consistent. Of course, you already know that she’s worn the same sunglasses and bob haircut for as long as she’s been EIC of Vogue—which is to say, a very long time. She also never wavers from her signature outfit formula: a printed midi or maxi dress with knee-high heeled boots. And as it turns out, this is true even when she’s traveling through JFK Airport in New York. I’ve never worn heeled knee-high boots while traveling because I can imagine that taking them on and off at security would be quite a hassle—would the chic yet cumbersome shoes even fit properly in a tray? And you certainly won’t catch me wearing heels of any sort while travelling, as schlepping through airports is already an exhaus...

Selena Gomez Just Wore the Mango Coat You’ll Never Regret Buying
Should you be looking for the perfect new winter coat (who isn’t?), consider this a sign. Selena Gomez has just been pictured in a Mango oat so covetable that it ticks all of our boxes. Affordable? It’s on the pricer end of high street, but still the fraction of the cost of a designer coat, especially for wool. Practical? Of course—not only is it a heavy-duty wool coat, but it’s from the brand’s premium range too, meaning the best possible construction. And timeless? Absolutely, masculine tailoring might be a key trend that we’re heavily buying into right now but it’s still a classic silhouette that never ages. All good signs that we’re looking at the next big It coat. This Mango tailored wool coat is the latest in a very&...

Autumn Perfumes Are My Entire Personality—These 15 Get Me The Most Compliments
If there is a beauty topic that I could talk about all day long, it’s autumn perfumes. During this time of the year, I feel like fragrance really shifts with the change in seasons. As we wave away to our summer scents, autumn is the time to welcome in warming, cosy and musky base notes. There’s something quite emotive about it. Whether we’re heading out for autumnal walks or hunkering down inside as the temperature drops, there’s fun to be had in matching our scent to the seasonal mood. “A smell, whether in the air, on our skin, or on our clothes, creates a world within our world that is both physical and imagined,” says Aesop fragrance partner, Barnabé Fillion. “A window into nature, so to speak, one that invites a dialogue with surround...
