20 “Ooh, Where Did You Get That?” Dresses From H&M

July 30, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re suddenly finding yourself in need of a throw-on summer dress, we believe one of the best places to go is H&M for affordable but expensive-looking pieces. Whether you want something long and dramatic or mini with cut-outs, H&M has lots of beautiful casual dresses to choose from. The only thing to note about a good H&M dress is it tends to sell out pretty quickly, so we can’t guarantee that the 16 below will be around for long. There are several details that the brand is leaning into for summer 2021, including double spaghetti straps, oversized puff sleeves, open backs with criss-cross straps and smocked bodices. Keep scrolling to see our edit of the 20 H&M dresses we love. Next up, these are the trending H&M items the style set is loving this summer. Author Emma Spedding | Whowhatwear Selected…

I’m Already Planning My Autumn Wedding-Guest Outfits

July 30, 2021 at 07:45AM Like a family member who sends you a Christmas spreadsheet in March, I’m that person who plans what I’m wearing for a September wedding when it's still the middle of summer. While nuptials have been allowed to take place with more than 15 people for a while, now with restrictions fully eased, there’s more chance of being invited to last-minute weddings. Which begs the question, what do you wear to an autumn wedding?   This problem can be easily rectified thanks to the many brilliantly dressed influencers who know just how to adapt their wardrobe for an autumn wedding. To help, I’ve also broken up the different months into different kinds of outfits because, let’s be real, the kind of thing you can wear in September probably isn’t going to be weather appropriate come November.For September, you’ll probably want to stick to a…

These Autumn Knits Are So Good That I Want to Start Wearing Them Now

July 30, 2021 at 06:20AM As someone who always said they preferred getting dressed in the cooler months to the warmer ones, I have to say, I have been enjoying basking in the glorious sunshine we’ve been treated to lately, however uncharacteristic that may be. It’s been nice rediscovering the dresses I negated to wear last year and wearing them with little else but sandals without the risk of feeling the chill. Still, as the saying goes, a leopard can’t change its spots, and already, my mind is beginning to wander to my autumn wardrobe.Autumn, I think, presents the perfect time to assemble outfits. Not too hot, nor too cold, you can experiment with layers and heavier textures, such as leather, and come up with more inventive looks than at any other point in the year. And one of the first things I always…

6 Easy Autumn Outfits I Can’t Wait to Wear

July 30, 2021 at 06:00AM If you’re still holding out for that second August heatwave, then you might want to look away now, because I’m about to rain on your parade (quite literally—have you seen the weather outside?) I’ve always been drawn towards the enveloping silhouettes of autumn, partly because I can’t stand the sweaty logistics that come with heatwave dressing, but also because there’s so much more creative potential in layering. I find that there’s only so much you can do with a summer dress.Autumn is a time to experiment with statement jackets, create unexpected pairings with blouses and jumpers and give your midi dresses an edge with chunky boots and equally chunky knits. So yes, it might only be July, but I’m already scouting out the cold weather outfits that I plan on recreating the moment the mercury drops.Many of my chosen looks centre on tailored hero pieces,…

I’ve Tried So Many Colourful Eyeliners, But These 6 Are the Best I’ve Found

July 30, 2021 at 06:00AM I’m not quite sure where my love for eyeliner stems from, but I think it’s probably some combination of growing up in the era of Tumbler where basically ever inspirational quote was accompanied by a picture of someone with the most immaculate cat-eye you’ve ever seen. Or maybe it was watching my older sister carefully applying a thick layer of eyeliner for school every single morning, despite it being against school rules. There’s no doubt though, that wherever my inspiration came from originally, my love of eyeliner has only grown throughout the years.However, since the days of applying unintentionally thick, super uneven black flicks, I’ve found a new statement look: colourful eyeliner. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that a makeup look for me just isn’t complete without some form vibrant eyeliner; whether it’s green, blue, pink, or yellow, I’m…

New Trends Incoming: These 5 Are Worth Your Time and Attention

July 30, 2021 at 05:55AM Would you like a head start on autumn’s top trends? Then you’ve come to the right place, friend! Not only do we have a bumper edit of what’s going to dominate for the next half of the year via our autumn 2021 trend report, but below is the rundown of what’s new-in thanks to the pre-fall 2021 collections that are currently dropping into stores as I type. They are, as the name gives away, the precursor to your cold-weather wardrobes. These in-between-season ranges act as the jumping-off points for many designers, and you’ll see key themes carrying through, creating a reliable indicator of what’s going to be on every wish list across the land for the next six months at the very minimum. Additionally, pre-fall is known for being more commercially minded and therefore easier to wear than more avant-garde runway collections, so it’s…
