street-style

While fashion week may have looked a little different this year, that didn’t stop Paris showgoers from putting on their best in order to attend socially distanced presentations. As the last city on the biannual fashion week circuit, Paris is home to many of the month’s most-anticipated runway shows (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Chloé included).  Of course, designer runways often result in street style looks also filled with the same coveted brands. And although the crowds were indeed smaller than previous years, the fashion was no less showstopping, as editors and influencers alike turned out to impress.  Evidently in Paris, many are embracing the autumn trends we have talked so much about already this season. From chunky mid-calf boots to leath...

The fashion world can broadly be divided up into people who love colour and those who feel most comfortable in soft beiges and muted tones. It’s fair to say that the fashion gods have not looked kindly upon the former crowd over the last year or two. Thanks to designers such as Nanushka, A.W.A.K.E and Lemaire, the world has become awash with head-to-toe camel-coloured ensembles and biscuit-toned basics, which were not only embraced in the summer months but have also proliferated this autumn. While I will always have time for the expensive-looking power of earthy hues, I’ve recently experienced a serious case of beige fatigue. This is saying something because I am firmly in the colour-ambivalent camp, and have to force myself to add notes of colour into my wardrobe of ...

Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days over the next few months. As stock is switching over from linen dresses and sandals to knitwear and trench coats this is the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions which feel really relevant this autumn. Think Mary Janes worn with ankle socks, ’70s-style fringed suede jackets and pleated skirts that look amazing when worn with blazers. Keep scrolling to se...

Street style photographer Darrel Hunter is someone I always look to for capturing the biggest trends during fashion month. With an eye for what instantly reads as photogenic, the London-based photographer’s images are an instant study of what I immediately want to add to my closet and start wearing right away. Having spotted style photos that Hunter took recently at Copenhagen Fashion Week, I was curious to hear his thoughts on the biggest emerging autumn trends on his radar and what we can expect to see more of for the season ahead. From sleek leather pieces to the colours that are taking over to the suiting silhouettes we’ll be seeing more of in 2020, Hunter is voicing his thoughts about the photogenic autumn trends—both on and off the street style scene. Here, see w...

For a long time now, fashion week hasn’t just been about the people wearing the clothes on the catwalk, but it’s been just as much about the people off the runway too. Unless you’ve attended a fashion show, it’s really hard to grasp just how much of a circus whole street style thing is, and while the legendary Suzy Menkes might dislike it, I’ve come to accept that it is part of the fun of fashion week and a joy to see so many people enjoying fashion. Arguably started with the likes of the late great Bill Cunningham and then continued by Scott Schuman’s Sartorialist, Tommy Ton and Phil Oh, it really kicked up a gear over the past 10 years, in part, thanks to Instagram. But that would be putting it too simply. While there are now scores of people posing outside fashi...

When you’re short, shopping for clothing is a bit of a battle. As someone who’s under 5’3″, I’ve regularly found myself in fitting rooms trying on laughably long jeans or jackets that make me look like I’ve come straight from the ’80s (such as unintentionally oversize shoulders). If you’re nodding along in empathy, rest assured that I feel your pain. But it doesn’t have to be this way. While we should all embrace whatever size, shape or height we are, I know that for me, sometimes appearing and feeling a little taller helps with being more confident, which is why I’ve looked to petite Instagrammers to gather some tips on how to dress a smaller frame. Although they have their own takes on fashion, there’s one thing they ...

While it might technically still be summer, the weather this week is making me think forward to autumn. I am by no means ready to say goodbye to bare legs or weekend picnics in the park, but as a fashion editor, I’m always looking forward, and I am ready to say hello to some of these new collections.  Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days over the next few months, and serve you in September and October also. We find that this time of year is when stock is switching over from linen dresses and sandals to knitwear and trench coats is the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe be...

When it comes to fail-safe outfit formulas, you just can’t beat a blazer and jeans. It’s a simple, chic wardrobe game-changer that never lets us down. You can also wear this combination on repeat, and many of the girls we watch closely for their style moves have been relying on very little else for the early days of autumn. To ensure you’re never out of styling options, today we’re taking tips from the impeccably dressed style set and serving you 7 fresh outfit ideas. From grey blazers worn with dark-wash denim for dressier occasions to beige blazers worn with vintage wash jeans and sneakers for the weekend (and simple styling updates in between), here are several ways to style this timeless combination. It’s an outfit combination we’ll never tire of ...

There is a question mark over fashion weeks for 2020 and whether they will go ahead digitally or in a physical format. Copenhagen Fashion Week took place this week with several small, intimate presentations and shows, which brought with it the return of street style. Each year, Copenhagen Fashion Week is becoming more recognised on the international fashion stage thanks to its leading sustainable initiatives and designers, such as Ganni and Cecilie Bahnsen, who are celebrated for their distinctive aesthetics. The street style scene is also highly influential, as there is a long list of trends that have originated from the Danish capital. Think colourful midi dresses paired with flip-flops and bright, colourful prints worn together.  You won’t see editors and buyers wearing an al...

We might only be halfway through summer, however, the weather this week is making me think forward to autumn. I am by no means ready to say goodbye to bare legs or weekend picnics in the park, but as a fashion editor, I’m always looking forward, and I am ready to say hello to some of these new collections.  Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning.

London’s green spaces have always been treasured hideaways for those who live here. However, in 2020, the parks have played a vital role for many. At the beginning of lockdown, we retreated to them for our one government-allowed walk a day, and some of us attempted to complete the Couch to 5K app in them. Then, as the restrictions eased, they became the focal point of our social lives. Walk through any London park this summer, and you’ll see socially distant hen parties, 30th birthday celebrations and family reunions taking place alongside sun salutation yoga flows and personal training sessions. I have even seen someone make their own pub out of towering Amazon boxes. As the role of the park in our daily lives has shifted, so has the dress code. Instea...

Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s had remained hidden, along comes another one. How much do you want a really ridiculously small bag right now? And how much better would it be if it had tiny handles and was rendered in silk-satin (see Kate Beckinsale below)? Or what about those ’90s Kate Moss images you come back to time and again for inspiration on what to wear on a night out? We’ve recently rediscovered a love for old-school SJP and combat trousers, too. The revivals are coming in thick and fast, people. Thick and fast. Keep scrolling for our guide to the ’90s fashion items, trends and combinations we wore to death and then forgot about until now. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined ...
