Puffer coats have long been considered practical. But stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion-insider must-have. Arguably, it was 2020 when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak. Socialising outdoors was considered the norm, and the likes of Bottega Veneta and Totême created very special puffer coats, the majority of which swiftly made their way to the top of many an editor’s and influencer’s wish list.  Since then, the duvet coat became essential for many of us—and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. In February, according to global fashion search platform Lyst, searches for “duvet coat” rose quickl...

The humble puffer coat has come a long way since its original outdoor sports iterations. Designers, editors and influencers will all agree that we’re very much in the era of the fashionable puffer coat. And 2022 has seen this item of clothing gain even more popularity. But, as these jackets tend to cover us completely (especially if you have one of those head-to-toe versions), they can leave you feeling like it’s pointless to wear anything exciting underneath. I’m here to tell you that that’s actually not the case. I had a look at how some of my favourite Instagrammers have been wearing theirs and found some genuinely fun and exciting winter outfits that will make you love wearing your duvet coat on repeat.  There’s the class...

Buying a winter coat is like a rite of passage—something instilled in us as children growing up in the UK (for me, it was tradition my grandparents took me to buy mine each September). And as adults it’s a process we still partake in, albeit less frequently—perhaps every few years we’ll invest in a really good one that adds to our collection. Maybe this year you’re on the look out for a practical puffer coat (probably to wear inside as well), or a smart wool style to multi-task for you. Whichever style is on your radar for 2022, let me point you in the direction of H&M.  The high street favourite has just dropped its yearly outerwear collection, and it’s full of expensive-looking designs that tick every trend—as well as all the classics. Of course, if you’re looking to make a seri...

Lately, single-breasted camel coats in oversized silhouettes have caught our eye. But there are so many other options around. Although a classic robe will always tick the boxes, sometimes, it’s good to experiment with different silhouettes to suit your personal style tastes and to make your camel coat feel more current, should that be your desired aesthetic. Either way, though, this is a coat that’s hard to get wrong.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

PSA: Bomber jackets are this year’s solution to tricky transitional weather. No other layer is quite so well-suited to rushed mornings and not-too-cold, not-too-hot climates, especially if you want to look chic as you navigate the changing of the seasons. Bomber jackets are insulating, easy to throw on over anything and incredibly cosy if you choose an oversized silhouette (of which there are many to choose from—more on that later).  Admittedly, some of the iterations we’ve spotted recently are less practical than others. But that’s only because designers have recognised the aesthetic benefits of the bomber jacket in addition to its obvious comfort; namely that it makes every outfit infinitely cooler. With its sporty shape, ribbed c...

They’ve certainly been a mainstay of my personal wardrobe since I started working in the fashion industry almost a decade ago, and I have it on good authority that it’s the same for my fellow editors and non-fashion friends as well— despite us all having different personal tastes. When I take stock of my wardrobe each season, my blazer collection (quite an impressive one by now, I must say) is always the constant that survives any culling.  So when it comes to buying a blazer, it clearly makes good financial, logical (and ecological) sense to opt for a premium quality style. And with so many beautiful ones available, from mid-range designer to high-end luxury price points, you’re positively spoilt for choice if you’v...

As the leaves start to brown and the sun gives way to rain, it’s that time of year when we get out the most useful of outerwear from our wardrobes: the trench coat.  The weather has definitely turned, and as I sit at my desk with the rain pouring down, it’s got me thinking about to how to look chic but still warm when the temperamental British weather isn’t on our side. If you’re thinking the same, don’t fear, as the answer lies in a staple you probably already have in your wardrobe. Easy to throw on, functional yet stylish and an instant way to pull your look together, the trench coat is the chic cover-up we all need in our lives.  Influencers such as Marianne of @s...
