Thankfully, my forthcoming wardrobe began to preoccupy my mind, and soon, my blazer despair was a distant memory. At least, it was, until just recently. Upon scrolling through & Other Stories’ new-in section, I found it: the cult blazer. Of course, I snapped it up. I already envisage myself wearing it with light knitwear, jeans and midi dresses come autumn. There’s never a bad time to buy a classic staple item, so if you also want to secure the & Other Stories wool blazer before it inevitably sells out again, I suggest you do, pronto.  Keep scrolling to see how my favourite influencers wear their & Other Stories wool blazer, and then shop it. Oh, and don’t forget to see the other amazing options the brand has to offer as the perfect cover-up thi...

Ah, Christmas. Is there any other time of year when spending all day in your PJs is socially acceptable? It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all. If that sounds like something you’re very much planning on doing, then you know your PJs need to be a bit special. I’m not saying you need to have a drawer full of neatly folded, starch-pressed matching pyjama tops and bottoms, but a decent pair that’ll last you all winter is a good idea. Now, there is a range of different prices and some people are more than happy to spend a couple of hundred on this item of clothing. However, for those who are looking for something more budget-friendly, there are chic options on the high street too. In terms of style, right now, classic shirts and matching trousers are everyw...

The Fashion Awards 2022, presented by Diet Coke, is taking place at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. Guiding us through the proceedings is host Jodie Turner-Smith, the British and Jamaican activist and actress who has been wowing us with her incredible ensembles, both on and off the red carpet, of late. Tonight is no exception, stealing the show in a lime Gucci extravaganza! Gorgeous doesn’t cut it. Alongside Turner-Smith, plenty of British fashion icons turned out and were on equally impressive form; Alexa Chung is a Fashion Awards regular and, for 2022’s outing, she carried the crystal Prada shoulder bag we’ve seen so frequently on Instagram. Florence Pugh was another highlight as she channelled the Hollywood siren she was born to be in crims...

Whilst the rest of the Western world is still wrapped up in Cyber Week deals and Black Friday markdowns, I seem to automatically switch a gear into luxury stealth mode. There’s something about seeing sales stock everywhere that makes me dream of big, shiny, aspirational purchases instead—the kind of luxury shopping picks that stay on your mind for months, last in your wardrobe for decades and hold their allure for just as long.  It may seem like a peculiar time to consider premium purchases—Christmas shopping looms, and the big R word is ever present. But it’s at pinch-point times like these that it’s more important than ever to evaluate the long-term value and use of anything you’re going to slap some hard-earned cash down for—whether it’s...

No matter how hard we, as individuals, try to curb our consumption of fashion, each season there still seems to be endless new products available. Even if you prefer to shop second-hand or via rental, there’s always an array of new trends to try and so many pieces to choose from. Knowing which items are the most important, most stylish or most worthy of your money can be difficult—and the whole process of searching is overwhelming. However, it’s also true that each season there are a number of standout buys that are better than the rest—items that impress instantly, and are usually picked up on by industry experts before the season has even really started. Which is what we’re here to discuss today—the winter 2022 cult buys.  When you hear the phrase ‘cult buys’ you may well immed...

Hands up if you find Cyber Monday (and general sales) shopping pretty stressful. With you, I stand in solidarity. Even though it’s basically my job to shop for a living, unearthing pieces you like in your size that are still in stock in the middle of a markdown can be difficult. In the past, I’d find it hard to discern whether I really want something or if I’m just buying it because it’s on sale. This, however, is no longer an issue for me. I’m the sort of person who makes use of the wish-listing function offered on many digital fashion destinations, where you can “heart” pieces as you scroll, and poof! They assemble in a little tab just for you. The moment a sale hits, this is where I head to, to see if items I’ve genuinely loved i...

Leave it to celebrities to be fashion’s earliest adopters. Now that the spring 2023 shows have come to a close, we’ve done our top-level reporting on the trends to know for next season, but we typically have to wait another six months for those aforementioned trends to actually hit the market and the closets of fashion people. It turns out the rules of this waiting game don’t apply to A-listers. In the wake of Fashion Month, we’ve already spotted a number of our most stylish stars sporting the trends we just saw gliding down the runways a mere matter of weeks prior. How is this even possible? Well, celebs either have access to the industry’s top stylists to pull the looks for them, or they have a close relationship with ...
