5 Fresh Print Trends to Brighten Up Your Summer Outfits
As we reacquaint ourselves with the joy of dressing up, summer’s bold and punchy print trends are making outfit inspiration come easily. Many of us fell in love with the gentle appeal of gingham dresses in mid-spring and early summer, and now that we’re well into the warmer months, there are a few more print trends that have charmed the fashion set. Gingham checks go way back to the 18th century, but when we think of gingham checks today, we’re likely to reference the wholesome housewife aesthetic of the 1950s. Much like the bread baking, knitting, and gardening that became popular while we spent more time at home, gingham checks have a cosy and handmade vibe. We’re especially loving the sell-out gingham styles from Molby the Label and Zara. Once gingham became 2021...

How the Handcrafted Trend Defines the Fashion and Lifestyle of Our Generation
It’s almost impossible to realise an aesthetic movement is being born — or reborn — when you are in the eye of a cultural storm. The pandemic is undoubtedly one of the most pivotal historic moments that we will have witnessed in our lifetime. The reflections that many of us have experienced while being isolated in our homes have inspired a longing to return to nature, a renewed appreciation in the therapy of making things by hand, and a criticism for fast fashion and the pace of the internet. The handcrafted trend is about to define the fashion and lifestyle of our generation. Taking inspiration from the arts and crafts movement of the late 19th century and 1960s subcultures, we look at the fashion trends that are responding to work-from-home culture, environmentalism, and antiracism...
Pantone’s Post-Lockdown Colour Predictions Say It Loud and Clear: We All Need a Holiday
If there’s one thing we need in our post-lockdown wardrobes, it’s colour. After a year of swapping grey pyjamas for black ones, it’s almost time to step out and be seen by the world. The best way to do this? In a showstopping palette. If you don’t know where to start, Pantone is here to guide the way. Following Fashion Month, Pantone shares their Fashion Colour Trend Report — their expert forecast on the hottest hues to look out for. Among their top 10 picks for New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, three of them perfectly reflect our collective moods after our shared lockdown experience. Shades of red and pink are definite standouts – a soft, delicate blush gives a feeling of gentleness that’s welcomed after a tough time, and a deep and sultry wine r...
Sumptuous Jacquard Floral Is the Regency-Inspired Spring Trend That’s About to Take Off
You might be familiar with Jacquard, a group of intricately decorated woven fabrics that feature embossed prints, particularly that of elaborate florals. Jacquard first became popular in Britain in the 1820s — the same Regency fashion era when Bridgerton takes place — and it’s currently making a comeback for spring 2021 thanks to our favourite fashion brands and Instagram’s style enthusiasts. For spring 2021, we saw decadent Jacquard prints at Simone Rocha, Erdem, Fendi, and JW Anderson. At Simone Rocha, the Regency-inspired print was used to add opulence to puff-sleeved mini and midi dresses. Erdem had a similar approach, using the woven fabric to add romance to khaki green puff-sleeved coats and co-ordinated sets, which take reference from Regency menswear innovator Beau Brum...
Fancy Patchwork Jeans? We Found the Best Pieces to Shop Online
The classic blue jean got a handcrafted makeover for 2021. Patchwork jeans were a standout trend at London Fashion Week spring/summer 2021, seen at Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood, and Bethany Williams — and now you can shop this ’70s-inspired style at your favourite online boutiques. If you fancy investing in designer pieces, then Net-a-Porter’s in-house sustainable brand Net Sustain has a great selection. But if you prefer saving some coins on your next denim purchase, then you’re best checking high-street brands that cater to an edgier customer. We’re loving Jaded London, Bershka, The Ragged Priest, and Urban Outfitters for finding a great pair of two-tone or patchwork jeans at an accessible price point.

19 Printed Mesh Dresses and Tops Inspired by Jean Paul Gautier’s Sheer ’90s Designs
Maya Jama’s printed mesh dress on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK piqued viewers’ interest in the popular fashion trend, which is currently being done best by London boutiques Auné and Kai Collective. But even before Jama debuted this trend to the fashion enthusiasts of drag, it was one of the biggest microtrends of the ’90s thanks to Jean Paul Gautier’s printed, sheer designs. Printed mesh dresses and sheer tops are meant for those who are fearless with their style. And although this fashion trend leaves little to the imagination, you can still have fun with mesh pieces without baring all your bits. We suggest pairing your favourite sheer dress with a simple bandeau bra top and matching boy short or cheeky pair of pants. Alternatively, you can style this look with any ...

The Fashion Week Trend That’s Serving Us Serious Sex and the City Vibes
According to Carrie Bradshaw, “every year the women of New York leave the past behind and look forward to the future . . . This is known as Fashion Week”, or in this case, it’s London Fashion Week, and the latest trend to grace the catwalks is tulle tutus! And yes, we are having some serious Sex and the City nostalgia. Whether you’re a fan of Sex and the City or you’re left perplexed when someone describes you as “a Miranda”, you’ll no doubt recognise Carrie’s iconic tulle tutu from the opening credits. According to the show’s costume designer, Patricia Field, the well-known skirt was found in a showroom bin and was likely to have cost just $5! It’s a no-brainer that Carrie paved the way for some very cool ’90s and ear...
