Several weeks after restaurants and pubs have reopened, the novelty of eating a meal that doesn’t end with a pile of washing up still hasn’t worn off. However al fresco dining in the UK does still have its challenges—there’s the risk of a soggy rained-on main course, napkins flying everywhere and the non-stop shivering. By May we’d usually hope to have discarded all additional layers, and be starting to wear our high summer wardrobes, however the current weather and restrictions means you’re more likely to be wearing a puffer coat than pair of sandals.  Getting dressed properly has been an adjustment since the end of lockdown, meaning we have been inundated with questions about what to wear to picnics, pubs and park dates. As the forecast i...

Roll out the blankets and stock up on the Pimm’s cans because it’s officially picnic season, and with much of our socialising taking place outdoors for the foreseeable, chances are you’re going to take more time and consideration to plan it. I’m the first to admit that it’s more important to think about what you eat at the picnic than what you wear to it, but once you’ve got your sandwich fillings decided, see the picnic-ready outfits I’ve found that will make you even more excited for a spring and summer spent eating al fresco. From dresses that you can actually sit comfortably in to a top that will make you feel like you’re wearing a bikini (even when you aren’t), keep scrolling to see our guide on what to wear to ...

After months of slouching, the novelty of wearing jogging bottoms has well and truly worn off. I want to feel comfortable, for sure, but now I miss feeling put-together and am slowly revisiting the smarter items in my wardrobe. Last summer, we wrote about a pair of linen jogging bottoms from H&M on Who What Wear, and it’s clear from the number of clicks it generated that I’m not the only one wanting to swap my slobbing-around clothes for something a little more polished. I’m normally a dress person in spring and summer, however, I am finding myself drawn towards relaxed trousers in either lightweight linens or with uplifting summer shades. I’ve found lots of tempting pairs from brands including Arket, COS and Faithfull the Brand. The one thing all of these ...

As someone who, prior to lockdown, only owned a couple of pairs of jeans and gym leggings, it’s hard to believe that the aforementioned items, along with the joggers I purchased last April, have become the most-worn items in my wardrobe. I used to live in dresses and skirts, and without meaning to sound overdramatic, I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity having not worn them for so long.  Now, however, with temperatures slowly starting to climb and the days becoming brighter and longer with each passing week, I’m seeing this as my opportunity to break myself out of my style rut and slip into something fresh. So why not make for a spring/summer 2021 hero skirt?  Frocks might have reigned supreme in recent years, but it seems as if skirts are g...

Okay, we’re officially confused about the weather. One second it’s sub-zero winds, and the next it’s balmy 15-degree sunshine. Seriously, England—make up your mind. But of course, this is the nature of spring, and every year we manage to power through the meteorological mayhem and make it to the other side where summer awaits. It’ll happen. We promise. So when it comes to deciding what to wear this March, we’re taking a tentative—but no less stylish—approach and offering up five simple outfits that can easily be layered up or dressed down according to your needs. For example, fashion blogger Fran perfectly adapts a spring-ready leather skirt for unexpected wind chill with a printed cardigan and knee-high boots. For a smarter spin, we&#...

If you’re anything like us, chances are you already own a slew of chic knitwear, which we advise you keep to hand for the foreseeable. However, looking at our own woolly archives, we’ve discovered that we seriously lack in bright, playful, spring-worthy knitwear that’ll pep up not only our jeans but also our moods.

Four different seasons with four ever-changing sets of style trends can threaten to burn a hole in even the savviest shopper’s pocket. Well, fear not, because you have it on good authority (from, well, us) that this spring’s wardrobe reshuffle needn’t take more than eight carefully picked items. Yep, you can get your spring style entirely on point with items that you already have in your wardrobe.  From the coat of the season to the trainers you’ll wear forever, these are the pieces you’ll need for your spring capsule wardrobe, and they all work beautifully together. Even better is you might own a lot of them already so this will be a good opportunity to remind yourself of the pieces you might have forgotten about. Keep scrolling to see the...

We might not be out of puffer coat season just yet, but as soon as Boris Johnson announced the road map for the lifting of restrictions, my mind was wandering straight to thoughts of picnics in the sun, afternoons in beer gardens and the summer dresses I’ll be wearing for this re-entry into society. It seems like I’m not alone as at least half of the memes I saw were talking about outfit planning for June 21st—one excellent tweet I saw compared the level of outfit planning for June to deciding what to wear for a year six disco.  So it might not be officially spring just yet, but I can’t help but think forward to summer and start plotting the few pieces I’m going to be adding to my wardrobe. Below I’ve listed the 17 items that I think are a welcome ad...

Like many Millennials, I spent a fair chunk of my teens clad in cropped tops and jackets: From the crew-neck tees and bleached denim of the ‘90s to the long-sleeve iterations of the mid-noughties, it really was the silhouette du jour. My feelings towards the trend have somewhat cooled over the last decade, partly due to changing personal preferences, but also as a side-effect of the ‘bigger-is-better aesthetic that has prevailed within the fashion world.
