From Jennifer Aniston to Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Campbell to Kate Moss, the It girls of the nineties had a very particular style. Featuring round-frame sunglasses, faded blue denim, shrunken knit cardigans and of course, excessively thin eyebrows the era can often be remembered for a less is more aesthetic. Ironically, many of the decade’s more minimalist trends still take up prominence in our wardrobes today and (thin eyebrows aside). I can confidently say I’d sport any of the aforementioned looks. One other very ’90s trend that has stood the test of time and maintained its popularity in our closets decades later is thin strap slip dresses. And this summer, in particular, I foresee myself living in the timeless style. Often featuring a fla...

Well, it’s fair to say that summer has well and truly arrived, and considering that we’ll all be spending much of the month indoors, our new-season wardrobes present a small source of escapism and joy right now.  So what will we be wearing in summer 2020? For us, whether we’re inside or outside, it will be a capsule consisting of versatile, wear-with-everything staples. From polo tops and patterned skirts to floral dresses and chunky sandals, this summer we’ll not only be investing in items that can easily be mixed-and-matched but also items that will remain on high rotation in our closets for seasons to come. Puff-sleeve tops, which have been popular throughout winter, will continue their reign in our wardrobes, though summer...

While I would hardly call myself a loungewear enthusiast, the recent time spent at home has almost been enough to change my mind. Historically, I have never prioritised the need for elevated or polished-looking loungewear, choosing to instead spend my money on clothing I’d wear outside of the house. Up until now (I am embarrassed to admit), I have resorted to mostly wearing loungewear in the form of tattered joggers and oversize T-shirts, though there’s nothing like a lockdown to help change my mind.  In recent months, I’ve found myself drawn to smarter looking loungewear pieces and, in particular, have been browsing coordinated sets in an effort to create looks that feel slightly more cohesive than the old leggings and any-jumper-you-can-find combo. Enter ...

We’ve all heard the phrase “all dressed up and nowhere to go,” but this year the term has been given entirely new meaning. With restrictions on social gatherings and forced closures of pubs, bars and restaurants, we all literally have nowhere to go, though that certainly hasn’t stopped our favourite influencers and It girls from continuing to dress up. Between shimmering minidresses and floral embellished midis, influencers worldwide are persisting with putting on their finest even if it is simply to bake a cake, work from home or lounge on the couch. A few weeks back, Who What Wear UK introduced Dress-Up Fridays, an initiative which encourages us all to put on something extra special to celebrate the conclusion of the week (and ensure we’re getting out of our...

“I don’t buy trousers from Zara, as they never fit me! I’m a size 12, and unless they’re stretchy or feature an elastic waistband, it’s a no-go. Although I love the styles on offer, even the size L doesn’t seem to work for me, so rather than make myself feel fed-up, I’ve just stopped even trying them on. Instead, I always opt for skirts, especially those that are fitted at the waist but fuller on the bottom. That kind of silhouette seems to fit my hourglass figure far better when it comes to this store.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

After a weekend filled with balmy temperatures and sunny skies, summer could not feel closer. Days spent lazing outdoors on balconies, gardens or parks are now how many are spending their free time. Of course, with thoughts of sunny weekend strolls and garden picnics, comes the concept of the ideal the summer wardrobe. And whether it be ankle-length maxis or fluid floral minis, dresses are the easy, wear-everywhere staple we plan to rely on all season long. Thankfully, Harvey Nichols currently has a selection of summer dresses that definitely deserve a spot on your wishlist. From buzzy brands including Jacquemus, Stine Goya and Samsøe & Samsøe, to contemporary labels we’ve loved for years like Rixo and Rejina Pyo, Harvey Nichols’ collection of dress brands re...

As far as summer colours go, there are few shades that embody the radiance of the season quite like sunshine yellow. It’s a hue that can immediately put a smile on your face and conjure up images of cloudless skies and idyllic beaches. This week, the colour has taken up particular prominence on our social media feeds as editors and influencers prepare for the sunny season ahead. There has been one specific yellow item that seems to be more ubiquitous than the rest: the Frankie Shop x Camille Charriere Eva Padded Shoulder Muscle T-Shirt.  From Alyssa Coscarelli to Ellie of Slip Into Style to our very own U.S. Editor in Chief Kat Collings, this particular Frankie Shop tee has certainly gained a fashionable following. However, we can’t say we’re surp...

I must admit that over the last couple of months, my spending habits have drastically changed. Whereas this time of the year would usually see me buying last-minute flights for a summer holiday, a new swimwear wardrobe and likely every SPF product under the sun, this year I’m rethinking my priorities. The truth is, before I spend money on anything that can’t be deemed a necessity, I mull the potential purchase over for hours, weighing up whether or not, given the current situation, my expenditure is worth it. With international travel, festivals and trips to the lido off the cards for a little while longer, I have found myself reinvesting my annual budget for such things elsewhere. Most specifically, in coffee table books. It sounds a little extravagant and niche, but hear me out...

Via government orders, anyone who is able to is being asked to work from home right now, and for many of us, it is a completely new experience. The temptation to stay in your pyjamas all day is rife, as is the desire to wear slippers non-stop and only actually style your hair for that one daily skype call your colleagues have initiated.  In moments like this, there is high chance productivity might be waning, so we thought it would be best to consult a few experts and tap into the knowledge of women who have been working from home long before it was government-mandated. Whether they be freelancers, small business owners or working mums, the 11 women below have a wealth of understanding about what it means to be productive in a home environment and unsurprisingly, for many of...

When talking about sustainable brands, it’s hard to bypass Reformation. After all, the label’s slogan is “Being naked is the #1 most sustainable option. We’re #2.” As a brand, Reformation has been a go-to for the style set for years, and although it is no longer the new label on the block, the brand has managed to retain its buzz.  Proving exactly that, Reformation’s dresses were named among the top 10 in Lyst’s Conscious Fashion most-wanted items last month. According to the fashion database, the brand’s dresses garnered an impressive 70,000 searches over the last year, with demand for the label growing 41% year-on-year. Evidently, Lyst is not the only site that has noticed an increase in desire for Reformation ...

We’ve all had the experience of seeing an item of clothing on a celebrity or an influencer and immediately wanting to know where it’s from. We’ve all clicked the photo to find the tag, followed through to the brand’s website and scoured the products, hoping the item is still in stock. Recently, I’ve found myself going through this exact motion several times, only to find myself on the homepage of Free People. Although the brand might have a particularly strong influencer campaign running right now, it is also responsible for creating the coveted pieces people are wanting to wear during lockdown, as every time I scroll through Instagram, I seem to find a new influencer sporting the label. From tie-dye kimonos to fluid midi dresses ...

The little black dress used to be synonymous with slinky, thigh-grazing, body-con frocks. These days, I’d argue that the LBD is more of a state of mind—it’s less overtly seductive but rather quietly alluring. Because not everyone wants, or even feels comfortable, wearing a look-at-me dress. (Although, of course, if that’s your thing, more power to you.) The notion of feeling sassy means different things to different people. It might be a tied waist, a flash of décolletage or a glimpse of shoulder. For that reason, I’ve created an edit of my favourite LBDs with a 2020 twist. Some are classic mini, but rest assured there are also midi dresses, slips and some that have subtle details to make you feel chic but slinky. Yo...
