April 19, 2022 at 08:00AM A good wardrobe is nothing without a solid base of classic capsule pieces. You know the ones— the items you pull out and incorporate into your outfits most days. The simple, yet far from boring staples you’d be lost without— it could be the perfect white T-shirt, pair of jeans or your favourite easy jacket that goes with everything. As a stylist, I’ve spent the best part of a decade searching for the perfect versions of these items to use in photo shoots or to recommend to all of my clients, as well as to fill my own collection with— and surprisingly enough the one place I always turn to isn’t the most expensive designer, it’s actually high street. In my opinion Arket classics win every time, and I constantly find myself suggesting the brand when people ask me…

April 19, 2022 at 08:00AM I know it’s hard to keep up with the constantly revolving door of nail trends lately, but let’s just take a step back and appreciate the simpler things in life like, oh I don’t know, a few nail colours for spring, maybe? I’ve gathered an impressive roster of hues that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. I won’t lie, though—I had a little help from celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein. She dished on all the shades she’s using this season and what designs she’s loving lately.“Designs I’m loving right now are impressions and pops of bold pastel,” she says. “They’re great for brushstroke techniques and abstract art—both are going to be very big. The colours are muted but when combined correctly can make an impactful contrast. They also look great with a metal accent, which is another huge…

April 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Midi hemlines have dominated the skirt scene for years, but times are a-changing. Last year, as the world started to open up again, we saw a meteoric rise—no pun intended—in mini hemlines as fashion devotees reclaimed glamour and reintroduced impracticality into their wardrobes. But what does the future hold for skirts this year? Well, if the S/S 22 runways are anything to go by (spoiler: they are), then maxi hemlines are set to be all the rage.It’s been a while since maxi skirts were on the style agenda, but as Who What Wear UK’s editor in chief, Hannah Almassi, noted in our bumper trend report, “key brands such as Louis Vuitton and Givenchy [are] backing the cut. There is a Y2K lilt to these hemlines descending, with simple tube styles that fit closer to the ankles being more present than,…

April 19, 2022 at 07:00AM I’m a huge fan of Olaplex and what the brand has done for people who chemically treat their hair. The in-salon system essentially strengthens strands against the damage that bleaching or chemical straightening can do to your hair’s health. And the at-home products are just as good for keeping hair healthy and making styling smoother, so I’m always excited when the brand adds to its range.For me, there are some products in the range that stand out more than others. No.3 is an incredible pre-wash treatment. It strengthens and hydrates the hair without adding extra weight thanks to the key ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which builds bonds within the hair structure. You can leave it in for as little as 10 minutes, but I like to pop it on before a workout or overnight and then rinse it out when shampooing. However, the shampoo and…
