August 10, 2021 at 11:15AM I can recall a time, around 2008 I think it was, when black skinny jeans were life. They were one of the coolest things to wear; perfect with the influx of bold-shouldered Balmain rip-off blazers and spiked platform shoes fashion editors favoured, cool with a Breton and ankle boots to get that French-girl look, and great on a night out with a nice top. Like many other basic denim styles, they have become a relied-upon but oft forgotten part of our wardrobe. It’s been a long time since I felt excited about wearing a pair of black jeans, and I’m pretty sure the ones I did own (a nice little cropped flare from Frame) are languising somewhere in the back of my closet. No more shall you be overlooked, my inky jeans! Because in the past few days a…

August 10, 2021 at 10:00AM India Edit wears the Ragged Priest Dad Jeans.Printed jeans are having a resurgence right now, along with other Y2K favourites such as body chains and pink sunglasses. We’re not just talking about leopard print either, but wave prints, checkerboard and elaborate swirls. When it comes to printed denim there is one place that really excels—Free People. The brand had a pop-up store at Wilderness Festival this weekend (and kindly invited us to join them) and the printed jeans were a particular favourite.India Edit wore the wavey jeans by Ragged Priest, which come in several colours including mint, peach and a grass green. However these jeans aren’t just for festivals or for those with a Tik-Tok aesthetic—these are jeans our editors have been raving about for weeks. Styled with a simple jumper or a white T-shirt and blazer, you can tone them down so…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Everyone deserves a beauty editor in their group chat for on-the-go questions on everything from the best concealer to where to go for a manicure that’ll last beyond the weekend. With the enviable job of testing and reviewing a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, they’re the best bet for product recommendations. The downside? When you’ve got every beauty brand in the world at your disposal, that often equates to using products that have a whole lot of numbers succeeding the pound sign. So we decided to have a chat with the beauty editors we have on speed dial to find out what affordable beauty products they use that rival the expensive ones out there. Keep scrolling to find the editor-approved affordable buys that you need to add to your routine. “I have a real body lotion aversion. I can’t stand the cold, so hopping round a…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM With nail salons back open for business, my Saved folder on Instagram is rapidly filling up with manicure inspiration for the season ahead, and I’ve noticed one unexpected look that’s trending right now: glitter nails. Yes, while pastel hues and cute nail art still look set to be classic summer staples, the coolest girls are dressing up their nails with sparkly polishes and pops of shimmer. And I’m not mad about it. After all, while glitter nails have traditionally been popular during the winter months, the fact that party season was nonexistent last year means that glitter is coming out to play this summer instead.Still need some convincing? While glitter nails might conjure images of 7-year-old you at a birthday party, this nail trend is surprisingly wearable. In fact, from minimalist hints of shimmer to full-frontal sparkle, there are so many ways to embrace twinkly nails. Ahead, I’ve pulled together…

August 10, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweeps over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always still a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenburg. It was also a period where mass-market, trend-driven fashion was also more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques like Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their…
