For most of us, winter is about sensible investments and, generally speaking, isn’t a time to experiment with bold trends or anything impractical. Winter items need to be about quality and reliability, and so this means many of us tend to lean on classics that you can wear for decades. Katie Holmes is the best example of the benefits of assembling a timeless winter capsule wardrobe; whenever we clock her out and about in New York City, she reliably sticks to an arsenal of simple but elevated items—the very sort we’d like to populate our wardrobes with. She has quite a minimal aesthetic when it comes to winter dressing and sticks to a neutral colour palette with camel, mushroom, grey and navy, and has been playing with proportions with oversized coats and chunky k...
Is it just me, or has it just suddenly gotten really, really cold? Before the break, I found myself working on features, typing with fingerless gloves on. I was that cold. Not my chicest moment, I’ll give you that, but it was essential. So, naturally, I’ve been spending the last few days working out how I can stay cosy and warm, all the while maintaining a stylish aesthetic. Impossible? I initially thought so. Then, I stumbled across a key find from Arket, which will help me achieve this. Did you know that Merino wool helps keep you warm by insulating instead of trapping heat? Merino wool fibres have a natural crimp, which allows them to trap dead air and act as an insulator—and a shield against the cold. This, in turn, helps keep your body at a more even and warm...

Getting dressed can be a struggle at the best of times.

It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain (read: icy) level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in grey, navy and black knitwear and the same black ankle boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Grece Ghanem, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until spring. Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll-necks and classic blazers, but you can make your winter wardrobe more 2021 with cream boots, teddy coats and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next three months in borin...
The high street is always the first place I turn when I’m in need of a fashionable fix, but that doesn’t mean its appeal is fleeting. In fact, some of my favourite pieces that I pull out year after year come from the high street, and this year it has some of the strongest winter collections I’ve seen, so I decided to handpick items that I believe have staying power but that will also bring your look up to date. I’ve whittled down what I consider to be the three must-see pieces from some of the high street’s biggest brands, which should hopefully give you an idea of each’s overarching aesthetic for the season ahead. From staples with a hint of trendiness to items that tap into the year’s biggest moments, continue on to see and shop the high-street winter fashion that’s r...

Well, if you’re looking for a few fresh ideas to switch it up a bit this season, you’ve landed in the right spot. Below, I’m showcasing a range of ensembles that I’m loving at the moment. I also circulated the top looks among our team. And yes, the outfit ideas coming your way got an A+ from them, too. Included in the curation is everything from a simple look made up of elevated basics to a gorgeous outfit featuring one of the key outerwear trends of the season. Naturally, there are also solid options to wear with your favourite jeans. Keep scrolling for the winter o...
You know we love when celebrities wear affordable pieces—hello, Kendall Jenner in Vagabond—but we get even more excited when they wear something that’s from the high-street and still in stock. So naturally, I had to draw your attention to Kate Bosworth’s super-cute crew-neck checked jumper, which she just wore at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. Did you catch her colour-coordinating the jumper with both her eyes and the sunset? Now that’s impressive. Bosworth’s Mango Textured Checked Jumper is £50 and feels incredibly on-trend, so I expect it to fly off digital shelves. While I can’t promise you’ll get over 10,000 Instagram likes in the sweater like Bosworth did, I can assure you that you’ll get tonnes of compliments on this...
Ever since it launched in the UK back in 2017, Arket has made its way into the high-street Hall of Fame within an impressively short space of time, identifying a gap in the market and securing itself as an authority on the elusive “elevated basic.” The brand’s outwear has become a particular hit with the fashion crowd, from the oversized wool blazers to the sell-out down puffer coat. Notable in the way that it resists the urge to jump on any passing trend, Arket tends to stick to the same classic styles that it brings out year after year—cold-weather heroes that will go with any outfit for any occasion. Every winter, these coats and jackets will sell out, so clearly, the brand is doing something right. ...
Sometimes, when shopping the high-street, it can all too easy to get stuck in a rut of going to the same places again and again. This is why I like to mix it up every now and then and revisit stores that I haven’t frequented for a few seasons. For me this winter this manifested in a browse of Jigsaw, Whistles and Karen Millen’s new-in categories. Jigsaw in particular has taken-on a new style identity in recent years, still holding onto its timeless approach to design, but infusing pieces with a contemporary energy via bold prints and unusual silhouettes.
