Summer Fashion

Zara is known for having two major sales: one in the summer months and that starts on Boxing Day. Naturally, we’re here to talk about the latter. Regardless of the brand or discounts, we always advise caution when it comes to shopping during markdowns, so you’ll find a few tips and tricks for shopping the Zara sale below.  Firstly, have a look through your wardrobe and have a think about what you need and what works with your current pieces. Then, when browsing on the site, add pieces you love. But before you check out, it’s worth thinking about how much wear you’ll get out of them. A good rule is to know if you’ll wear it 30 times or more, which is a great way to ensure you’re shopping as mindfully and sustainably as you can.  You Deserve ...

There are various stylistic components that come into play to make an item of clothing look premium, and alongside dramatic silhouettes and heavyweight fabrics, I would have to say that unexpected prints are definitely a key factor. Just take Whistles’ short-sleeved shirt as an example: I spotted the piece within the brand’s ‘new in‘ section and was instantly drawn-in by the unusual map print, something I hadn’t seen anywhere else on the high street. It could have easily just stepped off the runway.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

What is behind our continued obsession with tie-dye? And when I say “our,” I mean everyone, not just the fashion crowd. While the trend might have exploded on the runways a few seasons ago (Dior, Proenza Schouler and Versace, to name a few), it wasn’t until we hit the first lockdown that the trend suddenly became the print du jour, with online global shopping platform Lyst reporting a huge increase in searches for the print last year. I think part of its appeal is to do with its roots—most recently in ’60s hippie culture—and as such, it’s associated with a more laid-back lifestyle. In a world where anxiety is, understandably, at an all-time high, tie-dye gives the impression of being more chilled out even when you probably aren’t.  Pe...

This summer has been about rediscovering the little joys—simple pleasures we were denied last year. Dining out, catching up with friends with a glass in hand, arranging get-togethers with our nearest and dearest and, of course, planning our outfits for such outings. And now, as our social calendars begin to come alive once more, we’re relishing in the latter: the pulling together of trousers and tops and choosing the perfect pair of sandals to wear with your favourite dress. It’s been blissful.  Yet, while we’ve indeed fallen back in love with getting dressed, we could always use a healthy dose of style inspiration to help carry us through busy months of reuniting, celebrating and travelling locally that lie ahead. That’s where Free People comes in.  Of course, if you’r...

Typically, we have to do a bit of digging before we stumble across a trending item in its early stages of fame, especially when it’s a specific design from a specific brand. However, over the last few weeks, we haven’t had to look very hard to notice that a certain short-sleeved shirt from Matteau is seriously hitting the big time. It has a loose fit, off-white colourway and subtle botanical print, and so many of the chicest individuals on our Instagram feeds have worn this simple summer staple. And, of course, now it’s all we can think about.  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.

I’d never advise you to double up on pieces you already own, but this year’s gingham offering is so impressive, even our team—who own more than their fair share of gingham pieces between them—are tempted to snap up some of the new styles on offer. The only thing left to cover is how to wear gingham and make it feel fresh. You can do this by buying into the sub gingham trend that’s currently taking over. For 2021, gingham checks are brighter and bolder than previous seasons, with bold green, purple, and orange iterations proving just as tempting as the timeless black-and-white combinations. If that feels too full-on, fret not, for the print is also making its way onto handbags, shoes, and accessories, too—meaning you can tap into the colourful gingham trend without having ...

There are two kinds of picnics: those that are completely impromptu, where a proper outfit is of little importance, and those that are slightly more bougie, where a planned lewk is key. A currently trendy shorts set is an ideal option for the latter. Wear it with a simple tank or a bikini top for added interest. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.
