Winter Fashion

With the temperatures resting between 0 and minus numbers right now, if you don’t have a winter coat, you need one. But investing in a great coat shouldn’t be taken lightly, especially as the goal, typically, is to find one that you can buy now and treasure forever. With new-in sections awash with cold-weather coats  it can be a little overwhelming at times, but thankfully, I’m here to help. I’ve narrowed it down to six pillar styles that will remain eternally chic, so you can invest now and rewear forever.  In my search for the best types of coats to invest in, I found that lots of our favourite celebrities rely on these styles year after year, proving just how good they are. Whether you’re going out or simply running to the...

If you ever want to know what trends are currently gaining the most traction, a quick look at Zara’s new arrivals will give you your answers. For many, the plethora of products, at first sight, can be a tad overwhelming. But as someone who checks the site for work on a daily basis, I’ve become accustomed to navigating every page with determination and focus. Among the few thousand products, I was able to pinpoint which 2022 trends the retailer is highlighting now. While Zara caters to many trends, there’s still always a select few they pivot most of their attention toward. From floral accessories to saturated statement pieces, the items below will get you ready to refresh and upgrade your closet. Even better, you’ll find ...

I already know what you’re thinking, and yes, this winter is shaping up to be a particularly cold one. I happen to love dressing for cold weather (nothing beats hunkering down and hibernating in cosy layers of cashmere and wool), but when you do inevitably have to leave the house, it can be tricky finding “the one,” that elusive winter coat that looks good and stays warm. Well, that is until now.  Zara has got a track record for designing some of the most covetable and expensive-looking pieces on the high street, and although sought-after pieces can sell out as quickly as they land, fortunately for us the best sellers are often reinstated the following year, and one of the biggest hits from last winter is back: the Double-Faced Shor...

COS’s star buys include the ultimate leather trench coat and a simple black tube dress that ticks off one of the season’s most popular trends and manages to feel grown-up and timeless. And their offering of perfectly tailored trousers only continues to grow and improve. Meanwhile, over at Arket, basics are the pieces to zone in on first—think elevated outerwear and classic knits, as well as some incredible footwear that could so easily pass for designer. Its arsenal exceeds basics, though, and you’ll also find the odd flash of silver (which is back for AW22) and pops of colour not to miss.  Fabric is something I’m most intrigued by, and all of these brands continue to appease the more conscious shoppers among us, at least w...

On my fortnightly mooch around my local COS store, I was pleasantly surprised. Not that I usually aren’t, as it’s definitely one of my most-loved high street stores, but I was pleased to see so much colour. After all, winter in renowned for favouring darker hues. As I walked around, I saw pops of purple that reminded me of ‘the purple one’ in a box of Quality Street (yes Xmas chocs are firmly on my mind), and then, I spotted a shade I really wasn’t expecting—lime green. Updating everything from cosy knitwear, midi dresses and bucket hats, I have to say, I’m quite the fan. And although I’ve fully embraced pink in all its glory this year, I glided right past these items in favour of the fresh new colours. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ...

Winter in New York is no walk in the park. I know this from experience, firstly because I grew up in Chicago and know what a brutal winter looks (and feels) like, and secondly because I’ve experienced my fair share in New York over the last five years. Really, the only way to get through it is to dress the part, which I’ve only been able to do because I study those around me who all seem to do it with ease.  New York City is full of savvy dressers who always make looking good appear easy even in the worst weather situations, whether it’s 37ºC in August and the humidity reads 80% or a -5ºC one that, according to AccuWeather, feels like -15ºC. New Yorkers are simply built different, and it shows when you look ...

However, there’s one thing that & Other Stories is particularly acing this season, and that’s coats—specifically belted coats. We’ve lost count of the number of people we’ve spotted in one of these outwear gems in London, but unlike other viral fashion items, the design is so classic that you’d never know they were all from the same store. Coming in a range of stylish shades and flattering, ageless fits, these coats are guaranteed to go with everything you own. Our personal highlight has to be the chic beige belted coat which would look so good thrown over textural colour-match layers. We also have a soft spot for the deep navy options that are endlessly elegant. As always, & Other Stories covers all the timeless hues from light beige to classic b...
