And just like that, a new year begins, and with it comes new-season shopping. There’s already a lot to get excited about. If you subscribe to the “new year, new me” mantra, there’s no better time to refresh your wardrobe, and with a couple of clever purchases, you can find versatile investment pieces that you’ll wear for the rest of the year and for many years to come. Sound good? The easiest place to find everything you need is a one-stop shop that houses all of your favourite brands under one (virtual) roof. Harvey Nichols is our go-to destination for everything from summer sandals to winter coats. But with so many new pieces landing on the site, it’s tricky to know where to begin, so we’ve scoured over 2000 new items in order to bring you t...

My first port-of-call when I’m blanking on outfit ideas? Instagram, of course. The sheer volume of fashion-savvy users regularly posting their #OOTDs means I’m guaranteed a wave of inspiration with one quick scroll. Minimum effort, maximum reward. But I don’t just use social media to find looks to recreate. It’s also a handy resource when I need guidance on what’s worth buying. Especially because, at this point, there are certain influencers I follow whose taste is top-notch every time, and I know I can trust their judgement. When I’m in a shopping rut but struggling with some serious gaps in my wardrobe, all I need to do is consult their feeds and suddenly my wish list has reached unruly lengths. The first month of the ...

Part sportswear and part utility with a healthy dash of All Saints energy (the girl group, not the brand), this laidback style is one of the more surprising pieces to have reappeared in my Instagram feed lately, but as with any trend that champions comfort first, I’m here for it. With styles ranging from classic khaki to tonal tan, a wealth of cargo trousers have appeared on the high street almost overnight, but the brand to truly give cargo trousers the luxe makeover they so desperately needed is none other than The Frankie Shop. As soon as the now sold-out Jenna Cargo Pants dropped a couple of months ago, they were considered an influencer must-have. And for those a little sceptical about the ubiquitous shade of milkshake pink, the brand also has nine styles of cargo trouser curren...

And after months of trawling, last winter I settled on Arket‘s down coat, a style that already came with a history of being extra popular. Back in February 2020, the shopping search engine Lyst revealed that amongst the biggest-selling trophy pieces of the season (many of which were expensive and designer), Arket’s perfect puffer made it onto the top 10. With its simple cut, elegant and neutral colourways, handy hood, slits with popper fastenings on each side to adjust for more movement and roomy pockets, it ticked all of the boxes for what one needs from a practical coat—and at £229, the cost per wear over a series...

The UK is a wonderfully eclectic place, boasting a wide spectrum of personalities and tastes—sartorial and otherwise. It’s one of my favourite things about living here: there’s outfit inspiration to be found wherever I go. Even a quick bus journey can leave me frantically searching online for the vintage bag I spotted on a stranger, or wondering if I could pull off a pair of printed flairs. That being said, there are certain markers of British fashion that feel unique. And I’m not just talking about the impressive dossier of talented designers. The culmination of weather, history and the ever-changing zeitgeist has filtered out the items that just don’t feel quite right in a British wardrobe, and a select f...

While colour trends come and go, there’s one hue that’s proven itself to have a longer life span than the rest: pink. Having dominated the rails of the shops and our wardrobes alike last year, it seems our love affair with pink has progressed from a casual fashion fling to a full-blown relationship that stands the test of time. With the designers at Valentino, Prada and Versace sending magenta-clad models down the runways, and a brand-new Barbie film on the horizon—Barbiecore is a thing now, by the way—it feels like pink is having yet another moment. And this time around, it’s hotter and more vibrant than ever. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.
