We’ve all been there: It’s 7 a.m. on a Tuesday morning and the autumnal chill is starting to creep in, which makes leaving your bed that little bit more difficult. All you want to do at this point is roll to your desk (whether it’s in your living room or IRL office) cocooned in your duvet, slipper-clad and clutching a mug of tea. Sadly, this is never really going to be a socially acceptable way to attend a meeting, Zoom-based or otherwise, but I am happy to tell you that one of this season’s biggest coat trends is not a million miles away from this dream scenario. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get to meet Beautiful peo...

Reminiscent of stuffy professors, teen movie nerds and, of course, Chandler from Friends, the sweater vest is the jumper trend that has won the hearts of fashion girls this season. Historically, it was one of those items of clothing that was synonymous with ‘uncool’ individuals, but it’s fair to say the last 12 months has been a celebration of all things frumpy, with editors and influencers alike embracing the quirky appeal of homely knitwear and practical shoes. I have well and truly fallen for the sweater vest this season, and I was kindly given a cream oversized iteration from H&M last winter and have worn it constantly over white shirts and cream roll-necks. It’s a true layering hero. Pers...

It’s been a tough old year for the Great British high-street, with every week seeing another gloomy headline that speaks of lay-offs and store closures. Yet, behind the media coverage, M&S (surely one of the longest-standing members of the affordable fashion community) is continuing to do what it does best: Deliver timeless, well-executed staples for the shopping public. Fashion-wise, August is always a tricky time of year, with temperatures remaining balmy, but the cool winds of autumn not far off. Anything we invest in now has to be versatile and adaptable for whatever the British weather throws at us. M&S has the solution—its online store is packed-full of trans-seasonal gems that will blend seamlessly into your capsule wardrobe and adapt...

You know this already—we have a thing for French style. This probably doesn’t come as a big surprise, as we’ve investigated everything from the pieces they fill their homes with to what Parisians wear to weddings. In other words, we’ve done our research narrowing in on how they achieve that je ne sais quoi, and now we’re diving into their summer wardrobes. French It girls like Jeanne Damas, Sabina Socol, and Anne-Laure Mais seem to line their closets (and suitcases) with many of the same items and follow a few of the same rules. The guidelines are pretty straightforward. First, keep your palette neutral. Stick to classic shades like navy, white, and red, as well as earthy tones like tan and rust. You’ll have a hard time finding French girls wearing anything too jarring like neon....

What a merino wool jumper is to winter, a flowing spaghetti-strap top is to summer. And when the weather signals that it’s time to embrace an unapologetically sunshine-appropriate number, you know that the magical season has arrived. But a summer top needn’t equal skimpy; if you haven’t owned a crop top since 2009 and aren’t sure what’s appropriate, there are lots of chic alternatives, such as an effortless linen shirt or a tasteful tie-front blouse. That said, don’t think of a crop top as suitable only for the beach: It’s the perfect partner to a high-waisted midi skirt and pretty edgy when styled over a crisp cotton shirt. Have an arsenal of summer tops to hand and you’ll never be stuck for what to wear with cropped jeans and summer skirts again—trust us. So give...

It might feel as though we’ve only just entered the summer season, but the high-street sales are already underway. Let me tell you, this year, they’re looking pretty great. & Other Stories, Weekday and Monki have been the first to drop and are offering up an enviable selection of warm-weather staples, covering everything from dresses and denim to sandals and skirts. To save you time, I’ve painstakingly combed through the sale sections to bring you a definite edit of the best of the best. At the top of my wish list are & Other Stories’ linen pieces, including a loose jumpsuit and a cute wrap minidress. Meanwhile, Weekday’s denim is looking pretty good right now. But if nothing catches your eye, worr...

We like to make getting dressed as easy as possible. That’s why we spend so much time bringing you the best outfits floating around in the fashion ether, many of which will be made up of items you already own.

Traditionally, the role of a fashion editor is all about reporting on newness and what you should be wearing in six months’ time. However, in 2021, this way of talking about clothes is dated and simply unpractical for the way we live and are all trying to consume in a more mindful fashion. Now I write about classic items much more than I report on buzzy microtrends. As many of us are about to do a wardrobe switchover and are looking to fill gaps in our existing summer capsules, below I’ve listed 11 items that always make getting dressed easier in warmer months.  These are simple pieces that will form a useful foundation, and then you can layer brighter, more statement separates on top. First, you’ll need sensible summer accessories, such as basket bags...
