Personal style is something that is always evolving, but one thing that will remain consistent are the classic basics that form the foundation in your wardrobe along the way. There comes a point in one’s style journey when basics no longer become the “boring” items in one’s closet but the necessities.  Today, we are here to show you the 12 classic basics that can help when getting dressed each morning. While some of the 12 basics ahead might not look beautiful in nature, they are crucial for creating a beautiful and well-rounded look, no matter what season we’re in. From the perfect house dress to a white T-shirt, take the time to read through the classic basics that can make even the most disgruntled of wardrobes feel brand-new.  You ...

Nothing makes getting ready in the morning easier than having an arsenal of go-to outfits to fall back on. Whether it’s a classic dress-and-shoe combo, ideas for styling tricky pieces like Bermuda shorts or a tracksuit look that is anything but boring, we could all use some more outfit ideas to mix things up. That’s why I’m looking to eight of my favourite L.A.-based fashion people to inspire with chic summer looks that, simply put, work every time.  From tailored pieces to comfortable loungewear, these women have relaxed but yet style and know a thing or two about making L.A. style their own. Here, see and shop the looks for yourself, and don’t forget to save your favourites for the next time you’re ...

When it comes to summer prints, there are a few timeless styles that seem to pop up every year, florals (of the groundbreaking variety, of course) and gingham, among them. Though this summer, while we are still seeing many of the classics, a different print trend seems to have taken precedence.  From apples and oranges to lemons and cherries, fruit has become a trending motif this summer, appearing across everything from swimwear to daywear and accessories. With luxury brands, such a Gucci recently launching an apple print knit, contemporary labels like Finders Keepers including a large-scale fruit bowl print in a recent collection, and high-street retailers like Zara debuting a whole host of fruit-shaped jewellery this summer, it’s clear the trend ...

Sun worshippers, rejoice, because the heatwave has finally hit, and guess what? We’re not even slightly prepared for it. Excellent! Dressing for extreme temperatures in the capital is a tricky one to navigate, and while the weather might say Costa del Sol, there’s something not quite right about strolling around Regents Park in your fave beach cutoffs and a bikini top. What we really need is versatile, smart and cool (in every sense of the word) separates that can be thrown on at a moment’s notice and help us to look composed. Essentially, we just want to feel like ourselves style-wise, just without the sweat patches. That’s why we’ve put together a super-speedy edit of pieces that will work during the heatwave. They might all be affordable high-stre...

I’m no meteorologist, but it’s safe to say that it’s a bit warm, which means all British people will be moaning about it being too hot, mini Magnums will sell out on Ocado, and you’ll struggle to sleep much before midnight. Plus, despite the fact that lockdown measures have eased off, there are still plenty of people working from home, so while the knitted trousers and cosy jumpers were fine from March to early May, they’re not so useful during a sweltering June, July and August. Understandably, you might not feel so comfortable taking those important Zoom business calls in a bikini top. The remedy? Cool loungewear that will actually keep you from perspiring too much but won’t look out of place when you need to chat with colleagues. B...
