Not All Boots and Trousers Go Together, But This Combination is Perfect
As the weather starts to turn and the cold creeps in, ankle boots become an undisputed essential. The beauty in this perennial staple? The right pair goes with absolutely everything. Whether you’re a midi dress obsessive or a fan of the classic jeans-and-a-tee formula, you’ll soon find yourself reaching for your Chelsea, heeled or lug-soled boots on an almost-daily basis. There’s a specific combination we’ve been spotting lately that we decided was worth drawing your attention to: cropped trousers and ankle boots. The former is a popular style during the spring and summer months, when we want to have as much skin as possible on show. But it turns out cropped trousers can work wonderfully in autumn, and arguably look even better wi...
The 4 Colours Our Editors Will be Wearing to Weddings This Season
Summer might be largely considered peak wedding season, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll have a few nuptials to attend before the year is out: some couples prefer to say ‘I do’ while shrouded in beautiful autumnal light, for example, or surrounded by a romantic winter wonderland. And if you’ve scored an invite to such an occasion, you’re probably starting to think about what you should wear. With a whole new season comes a whole new set of trends. This autumn/winter, there’s a refreshing focus on colour—all things bright and cheerful are in the spotlight, but we’re also seeing a lot of rich neutrals that are ideal for upcoming weddings. To make your event dressing easier, we’ve scoured our f...

According to reports, Sony and Honda‘s independent electric vehicle business has announced that pre-orders for its first model will come during the first half of 2025. Sony Honda Mobility Inc.

I’ve Bought Lots of Coats Over the Years, But This Style Never Dates
The coat that continues to perform year after year is one that you might not have been expecting: the belted coat. That’s right, the simple robe-meets-outerwear style of a longline coat that’s nipped in at the waist with a simple belt tie. Chic, yes, but you might not find it topping the trend charts, as this is not a flash-in-the-pan, viral “moment” for the style. In fact, its been quietly and consistently gaining momentum in the background, and it isn’t a coat that tries to make a statement per se. Instead, it’s an understated and elegant option for the minimalist dresser whose simple but perfectly tailored pieces do all of the talking. I’m a firm believer that the coat’s timeless appeal lies in its casual fit but dressy finish, j...
Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Outfit Formula Every London Girl Relies On
Dakota Johnson is one of those women I rarely think of when it comes to looking for style inspiration. It’s not through her lack of style however (we all know she always nails the red carpet), but more due to the fact she’s not very active on Instagram. With just nine posts (last time I checked), we have to wait until she gets papped out and about to get a glimpse of her low-key yet enviable looks. One such example is her latest stylish yet relaxed off-duty outfit, which she was spotted wearing while heading to the Madame Web film set. Needless to say, it was well worth the wait. One thing’s for certain, the actor is a huge fan of jeans. So much so, she’s very regularly spotted in a pair—in all cuts, styles and shades—with a laid-back t-shirt and trainers...

Still, if you are looking for ways to make your autumnal outfits feel more trend-led without compromising on your aesthetic or having to completely overhaul your wardrobe, I have a few suggestions for you to consider.

Compromising of elevated colour combinations...
8 Autumn Trends French Women Won’t Ever Wear
I spent a significant amount of my time studying the wardrobes of French women: what they wear to weddings, which jeans they prefer, the brands they regularly shop and so on. However, I’ve decided to approach this article with a different tack. With a discernible chill in the air, right now, my mind is hardwired to think only of autumn and what I’m going to wear (and temporarily discard) for the season ahead. And that got me to thinking—instead of focussing on the trends French women will wear, I wanted to find out which autumn trends they’ll be passing on. Because that will tell me a lot about the current French aesthetic. We’ve already outlined the trends for autumn 2022 in our trend report, which covered all the note...
So Long, High Heels—These Are the It Shoes Every Fashion Girl Is Wearing Now
Prada’s logo slingback first debuted in the brand’s S/S 21 show and instantly became a viral success. From the zesty neon orange to the demure and wearable black leather iteration, the unexpected smash hit spawned a legion of copycats (and a particularly good Miu Miu loafer), and now, you can find a pair in the wardrobes of fashion editors and influencers everywhere. This season, the slingback comes in brushed leather, nude and mirror silver (destined for a viral moment) with an on-trend metal toe, but the spring pastels (mint, yellow and powder blue) are still available, so there’s a pair for every mood. And honestly, I’m just happy to back any shoe trend that doesn’t encourage blisters, so thank you, Prada, for an It shoe that anyone can wear. Whether you dr...
15 Pairs of Statement Boots That Made Me Trade In My “Boring” Black Ankle Boots
In my opinion, there’s nothing chicer than a simple, understated outfit with a statement boot, and the truth is, no matter what state the rest of your wardrobe might be in, a trend-led pair of boots can bring every other item you own bang up to date, making a good pair of boots a wise investment. Just how bold you want to go is entirely up to you, but I urge you to consider making the next pair of boots you buy something a little more out of the ordinary. A square-toe here, an embellishment there, perhaps even a print? (I get a surprising amount of wear out of a pair of knee-high tiger striped boots). So before you click to add another pair of black ankle boots to your basket, keep scrolling for the most exciting shoes to shop now, and wait for the compliments to ...
35 New M&S, Zara and Mango Pieces You’ll Wear All the Time This Autumn
Can you feel it? The shift in seasons is definitely underway, which means our minds and our wardrobes are finally on the same page. So, let’s talk about autumn. Knitwear, leather, denim on denim, chunky boots—the fashion potential that autumn unlocks never fails to give us a thrill, and we’ve been busy shaping what we want our style to look like this season for weeks, okay, maybe even months. In doing so, however, we’ve realised that we have some holes in our line-up that could do with filling. From knitwear that’s starting to look past its sell-by to coats that don’t boast quite the same silhouette as they did a few years previously, chances are you may find a few key items in your autumn fashion arsenal that need updating, too. And where better to look for these piec...
