Princess Kate Agrees With Us—These & Other Stories Jeans Fit So Well
We love it when Kate Middleton breaks out of what we usually see her in. For as long as we can remember, the Princess of Wales has been solidly dedicated to her dark skinny jeans (a true millennial). In fact, we can’t recall a time when she’s worn jeans that weren’t skinny. But in recent years, the Princess has swapped her classic cut, for a slim-fit straight-leg pair. Even more so because they come from & Other Stories at an affordable price of £75. K-Mids was first seen wearing this straight-leg pair when out visiting the Urban Nature Project at the Natural History Museum. She opted for a casual look that included a rather swish Chloé blazer, a white ribbed top, Vejas and those blue jeans. Our eagle-eyed editors at Who What Wear reckoned th...
So Many Brands Are Backing This Dress Trend—Here Are My Favourites
Bold statement incoming: A jumper dress is probably one of the most important items to have in your cold-weather wardrobe. Few pieces tick so many boxes at once. Firstly, there’s the obvious fact that it’s basically a whole outfit in one; all you need to do is add shoes (unless you’re just planning to hang around the house). Then there are its other practical points, most notably the warmth and comfort it promises. A knitted dress is the sartorial equivalent of wrapping up in a blanket. But the best bit? All this, and you’ll still look incredibly chic wearing it. Whether you dress it up or down, this stylish and versatile hero is just a winner. We’re seeing a lot of jumper dresses in brands’ new-in ...

Everyone Always Asks Me About Moisturisers—These Are the Best for Winter
If you also find your skin starts playing up as the temperature drops, know there’s very good reason for it. “Rapid fluctuations in temperature can take a toll on our skin. As it gets colder, and the humidity levels drop—loss of hydration kicks in,” says Sonia Khorana, a GP with special interest in dermatology. “This can affect the skin barrier and lead to dryness, itching, irritation and lowered skin defences against environmental stressors. To help with these issues, I would advise incorporating thicker moisturisers. Look for ingredients like ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid.” Yep, moisturiser is the secret to healthy skin come winter. And this is something I don’t love to admit. You see, as someone with particularly oily skin, fo...
The One Haircut That Always Looks Great on Over-50 Celebs
In my role as a beauty editor, I like to keep my eyes peeled on the haircuts that celebrities are choosing. Right now, I’m seeing a lot of celebrities turn to the pixie cut, while ’70s-inspired haircuts like the shag and curtain bangs are continuing to make a huge comeback. However, when it comes to timeless hairstyles that really stand the test of time, there is one haircut that I see time and again on celebrities over 50. The haircut in question? Layered bobs. Like blunt bobs, layered bobs not only are timeless but also suit fine hair particularly well. As we grow older, our hair can become thinner, but a layered bob helps to keep the length while adding dimension and making hair look thicker. “Bobs of any length or haircuts with a solid outline are ...
The Wolf Cut Is on Track to Be 2022’s Defining Haircut—5 Tips for Doing It Right
It’s no secret that historically, beauty’s most influential trends—no matter how polarizing—have a knack for pulling a well-timed reappearing act. Crimped waves, ’90s supermodel eye makeup, Y2K anything and everything, even—hold your gasp—thin eyebrows. However, more than any other category, *hair* seems to be the most cyclical. Case in point: mullets, shags, and the very on-trend product of both, the wolf cut. Essentially, if the two former had a love child, it would be the latter, and you’ve likely seen it all around the celeb set via Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Barbie Ferreira, Keke Palmer, and the list goes on. While the bold, part-mullet-part-shag cut is not for the faint of heart (let’s be honest, it does take some balls to pull off!), the wol...

Rachel Stevens and I Have the Same Jeans—They’re Perfect for Petite People
In the past few weeks, I seem to have taken on the epic one-editor mission to provide petite women with the best stores and exact pieces suited to their stature. It’s not easy shopping when you’re 5’3” or under, and I’m absorbing the hard graft in order to save short people time and hassle this year (and for as long as possible).

Printed Matter NY Art Book Fair Returns After Three-Year Hiatus
Last night, Printed Matter returned to an in-person showing for the first time in three years. Despite heavy rain throughout the night, visitors packed the four-story building located in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood for a celebration of hard-to-find art books, DIY zines and humorous and thought-provoking ephemera. As with any opening night, the vibe throughout the building felt like a party, rather than a book fair. But neither the rain nor the drinks stopped people from stocking up on well-curated merch from a long list of studios, publishers and galleries, including Actual Source, Roma, Spector, Pace Publishing, Almine Rech Editions and many more. While opening night at times felt a little cramped due to the muggy weather outside and the amount of people in attendance, the remaining t...
