Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers are fantastic style resources. For one, they’re both influencers who live in Los Angeles, and they’ve perfectly mastered that effortlessly chic vibe. They also happen to be over 50. And while age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, their experienced point of view, thanks to sartorial trial and error over the years, is often quite intriguing. So on that note, we’re always interested in learning about the items they’re adding and perhaps pausing on in their wardrobes to keep their wardribes feeling fresh. Yep, that’s what you’ll find below. If you keep scrolling, you’ll uncover the autumn trends both Gunn and Meyers are going to mix into their offerings this...
When working as a stylist I love to find new brands and spot fresh trends, and it’s no different when it comes to shopping for my own wardrobe. Whether I’m shopping high end, scouring the rails for vintage treats at my favourite charity shop or out pounding the pavements on our good old British high street—I can spot a hero piece a mile off. I firmly believe you should wear what makes you feel good whatever your age, there really aren’t any rules when it comes to fashion. And as I’ve got older, I’ve become better at shopping for pieces that bring me joy, regardless of what others think— that’s less time spent chasing trends and more time chasing quality. I’ve never been much of...
As fashion editors, we’re often asked about how to curate the perfect wardrobe, and in truth, the answer is often the same: versatility. In an ideal world, your wardrobe should include some timeless, premium pieces mixed in among more affordable trend–led items (extra points for as many vintage and second-hand pieces you can rewear for good measure). Invariably it’s this mix of brands and price points that means your clothing will reflect your personality, and above all else, dressing in a way that is true to you is what makes fashion feel fun. That being said, I totally understand the appeal of building up a capsule wardrobe just one store. Firstly, it’s an effective use of your time (no-one wants to traipse around the s...
When it comes to looking polished every single day, no one is quite as proficient as Jessica Skye. An influencer she may be, but she has the fashion clout to match, having held various roles within the industry before she found social media stardom. It’s this intrinsic knowledge and experience that sets Skye apart from her contemporaries (along with her imitable style, of course). With a penchant for pared-back staples and easy-to-wear outfits, all in a gloriously versatile colour palette, Skye creates perennially chic looks that aren’t try-hard—a potent combination we immediately want to re-create. Thankfully, each month, Skye will be sharing her new-season selects exclusively with you, rather pleasingly categorised by product type. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are lookin...
Eclipsing them all in covetability, however, is the quilted jacket. Of course, this isn’t exactly a new trend—variations of quilted jackets have been on our radar for the past few winters. But this year is about cropped, waist-grazing jackets with a defined quilted finish in either diamond or more abstract patterns, which is not to be mistaken for the tubular lines associated with puffer coats.

Let’s debunk an outdated fashion myth that spending a lot of cash on clothes will help you to look more fashionable. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the 12+ years I’ve worked in this crazy industry, it’s that having a healthy disposable incoming and great style aren’t mutually exclusive. You can shop on a shoestring (or perhaps not at all) and still have more style in your little finger than someone who has the bandwidth to spend four-figures a month on new pieces. This is why I always advocate for the high street, too. I’ve found some of my most-worn, -complimented, -borrowed clothes and accessories on the high street, which further proves my point—budget isn’t everything.

Cycling shorts, thong sandals, cargo trousers—we’ve lost track of the number of “unexpected” fashion trends that have transcended to become the height of cool, but if you asked us a few seasons ago, even we couldn’t have predicted that this retro item would make such a strong appearance on the style agenda. Knitted vests have made a major comeback thanks to the likes of Burberry, Gucci and their muse du jour, Harry Styles, who made the preppy top a firm fixture way back in 2020. Ever since, the formerly fuddy-duddy knit has started to crop up in the outfits of our favourite influencers and back on the 2022 runways, most recently in COS’s debut NYFW show, so you know it’s sticking around for good.

Autumn is rolling in, so much so that we can almost taste those spiced lattes. The temperature has definitely dropped, and after getting used to a scorcher of a summer, we wouldn’t blame you if you’re none the wiser on what to actually wear now. Is it too cold for bare legs and sandals? Do I need a jacket, or will a cardigan suffice? This in-between time we fashion folks call trans-seasonal can bring to light some serious style conundrums. But don’t despair—getting to grips with your wardrobe right now is easier than you think. All you need are a few versatile staples that will ease you through autumn all the way to winter, from classic jeans to easy skirts and stylish wide-leg trousers. To make th...
Is it just me, or did the weather suddenly turn this week? After months of struggling to sleep without a fan on and contending with the most humid commute in quite a while, this week was the first time I reached for a coat because I was actually cold. And granted, it isn’t quite time for my winter puffer coat just yet, there’s definite chill in the air as a reminder to those who had forgotten–it’s now officially autumn. Navigating the seasonal in-between has been a tricky one (and we’ve got plenty of transitional outfits to copy, ideas on clever layering, and how to make your summer wardrobe work for autumn), but when it comes to outerwear, it can be a tough choice between a heavy winter coat or a light jacket. So what do we wear when it’s too cold for a trench but too...
I’ve loved Free People for as long as I can remember. Bohemian with a pared-back twist, the brand has been a long-standing go-to destination amongst editors and influencers alike for midi dresses, boots and sensationally good outerwear. It will come as no surprise, then, that its latest capsule collection—which was shot in Paris, by the way—is just as captivating as those of the past. Think shearling jackets, romantic slips and retro accessories. There’s no denying that, thanks to the ever-changing British weather, creating the perfect autumn outfit can be hard. But thankfully, Free People’s edit is comprised of effortlessly stylish pieces to help get autumn dressing right. In its latest launch, best sellers including the Dolman Qu...
Jeans have many, many redeeming qualities. The humble wardrobe staple is probably my most worn item, after all. Especially during the transitional months of autumn and spring when the dress code is so often up in the air. Jeans and a fresh T-shirt or crisp button-down is my absolute go-to outfit, since it works with varying layers and accessories for so many different occasions. The problem is, like anything you do on repeat, after a while it can get a little—shall we say—uninspiring. So having some easy alternatives in the bank to turn to on busy mornings is never a bad thing. After a long time spent researching autumn outfit inspiration for my own personal wardrobe, I’m here to round up the six best jeans alternatives I’ve come across that happen to work perfectly for the seas...
It may be still officially be summer, but that doesn’t mean our fashion minds haven’t moved on. It is September and the UK, after all. It’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related for autumn/winter, but we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has been going strong since spring. The Frankie Shop Quilted Ripstock Jacket was spotted on every fashion editor and influencer last year, so naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from: the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets. Y...
