What makes British fashion so special is its heritage; our past is a rich (incredibly chic) tapestry of skilled makers and designers, with brands born long ago proving to be just as popular today. And one of those brands is Barbour.  Though founded in 1845, Barbour has been creating the timeless wax jackets and outwear for which it is known since 1910, and, honestly, very little about the design has changed, which is a good thing. Of course, modern updates have been made but, at their heart, their aesthetic and, as such, appeal, rings true. But what is it that makes the Barbour jacket—a jacket designed for fishing in, no less—so iconic? Perhaps, its illustrious fanbase.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating shou...

Having written extensively in the past about how much I love perfume, I’ll try my hardest to prevent this piece from becoming an ode to my fascination with fragrance. From cult £165 fragrances to affordable hidden gems from the high street, I’m not fussy about brand or price point when it comes to scent but I am fastidious about the fact that whatever I’m wearing must smell incredible. My main criteria? For a perfume to take up permanent residence in my stash it should spark happiness whenever I wear it and it must smell unique; I’m not in the market for fragrances that can be easily duped. A scent that literally turns heads isn’t essential—I’m not an egomaniac after all—but I have to say that there’s one bra...

Searching for the perfect pair of boots is long, arduous work. There are heel heights to consider and toe-shapes, how far they climb up the leg, and then, of course, there are countless colours to choose from. But let’s simplify things for a second. It’s widely agreed that black boots make for the most versatile, so let’s focus on that. Then the heel; it’s nice to have a little bit of height but, as much as we’d like it to be otherwise, we certainly don’t have any real need for a heel over the size of two inches right now. Ankle-grazing boots work well on all women, so let’s filter that in. and as for toe? Well, nothing looks quite so sharp as a pointed one. Put all of these factors together, and what do you get? The closest thing to the perfe...

A luxury watch is one of the biggest investments you can make when it comes to your wardrobe, and so it’s an item that requires considered research. When it comes to fine jewellery and watches one of the most iconic brands is heritage label Cartier, and if you look closely in any picture of a celebrity, royal or world leader over the past 50 years you’re likely to spot a Cartier watch. Michelle Obama, Muhammad Ali, John F. Kennedy, Madonna, Andy Warhol, the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Diana and many more have all worn a Cartier watch. The Tank is the style with the most history, as it is over 100 years old and has been worn by all the Hollywood greats from Fred Astaire to Kanye West, however the recently relaunched Panthère is also a modern classic.  The first Pant...

There are few brands, if any, like Hermès. As one of the oldest fashion houses in the world, it’s built up its reputation on quality pieces that have become iconic. It doesn’t pander to seasons in quite the same way as other mega houses—hype is the last word associated with the 182-year-old label, as it focuses on its classics all year round. Sure, you could argue that the Birkin has peaks of popularity (that episode of Sex and the City; Kris Jenner’s Birkin room), but it remains the ultimate designer handbag regardless. What I’m saying is when you buy an item from Hermès, you own it for life. It’s not the kind of brand you’d want, or need, to switch out according to the seasons. Everything the brand creates is timeless. While we’ve often focused on the brand’s handb...

Having spent the last 13 years or so looking at expensive clothes and accessories up close means I can spot a worthwhile investment from a mile off. I may not have the available budget to always splurge on said pieces, but they’re building up into one heck of a wish list in my head—a wish list that I’m willing to share with you here, in a monthly shopping gallery that features only the most-obsessed over and adored creations I’ve bookmarked.

To understand how to find the best of the best, I spoke to Natalie Kingham, Global Fashion Officer at MATCHESFASHION about what to consider when shopping for classics. “We focused on fit, form, function, silhouette and fabrication. We felt it was important to address both quality and longevity by including items in the edit which are crafted from luxe fabrications and natural materials so we know that these items will last in our customer’s forever wardrobe. If you were to clear out your wardrobe and start again, these are the pieces you would buy first. They are the versatile building block pieces that can easily be styled up adding personality with accessories, jewellery or more fun fashion pieces.” They approached the edit by creating a checklist of the 12 items th...

The design features minimalist lines, hidden mechanisms, and the distinctive, bold shape of the letter “T” cleverly and subtly representing the Tiffany & Co. branding. The Tiffany T collection boasts everything from necklaces to rings, but the Tiffany T bangle is, without a doubt, the most in-demand piece.  The uncomplicated aesthetic of the Tiffany T bangle makes it a hit with pared-back style enthusiasts, while the unmistakable “T” emblem serves as a status symbol for those who live for labels. This broad appeal has cemented the bangle as a timeless classic and has made it a piece that every jewellery aficionado wants to own.

In the years since its launch, the bag has been revisioned in a rainbow of hues. Though, the black, tan, beige, and green colourways are easily the most prevalent on our social media feeds. Instantly recognisable and unlike anything else out there, it’s little wonder the Loewe Puzzle Bag has become something of a cult item. It’s particularly popular amongst minimal-style enthusiasts who can’t help but gravitate towards the bag’s clean lines. It’s the clean lines, coupled with its ingenious design, which earned the Loewe Puzzle Bag its place alongside other (arguably more traditional) classic handbags.

In early March 2020, just weeks before the world went into lockdown, Chanel hosted its autumn 2020 runway show. Pairs of models stormed the runway in knee-high boots, strutting in unison while dressed in shades of tweed with bows in their hair.  And while Chanel runways are always much-talked-about events, this season, in particular, one accessory seemed to steal the show. The brand debuted a range of logo-embellished CC tights, which the majority of models were wearing on the day, either in a white or black colourway. And as if by some kind of fashion editor intuition, the moment I saw them I just knew they would become a cult favourite.  Unsurprisingly, 10 months later the item is in high demand, appearing on the Instagram feeds of several high-profile ...
