The Over-50 Fashion Icons With the Freshest Style

July 21, 2021 at 08:00AM Personal style can be mastered at any age—there is no magic number or milestone birthday that can claim to be the pivotal point. Some lucky fashion lovers manage to find their signature look early on and hold onto it throughout their lives, adjusting and updating it ever so slightly to suit the changing times and trends. For others, understanding the outfits and clothes you feel most comfortable in can be a more arduous and experimental process.Whichever camp you reside in, there’s no denying that as you get older, your tastes and wardrobe needs change. For example, aged 33, I now realise that all of the cheaper, trend-ticking items I bought on the high street in my 20s haven’t stood up, so I’m endeavouring to buy less and buy better. My mum, who is in her 70s, is still…

These 25 Hairstyles Prove Long Bobs Always Look Chic

July 21, 2021 at 08:00AM Probably one of the most overlooked hairstyles out there is mid-length hair. Between short pixies and chin-grazing cuts and long, lustrous tresses, we often forget just how chic mid-length hairstyles can be. But right now, that seems to be changing.Chances are, if you’re anything like us, you’re looking for a way to freshen up your look, and we all know the easiest way to do so is with a new hairstyle. And it seems the look fashion girls are backing is the long bob, otherwise known as the “lob.”The long bob’s sudden rise through the hair ranks is likely a combination of two things: It’s being sported by those who had shorter hairstyles before lockdown which have subsequently grown out due to the lack of salon appointments, and those with longer hair have been flocking to their hairdressers en masse…

July 21, 2021 at 08:00AM Your age should have absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear.

These Hairstyles Will Take Years Off Your Face

July 21, 2021 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…

Honestly, This Is the Only Pair of Trousers That Keeps Me Cool Right Now

July 21, 2021 at 07:00AM I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty warm right now. As I type, I’m hiding away from the heatwave and trying to remain cool with all the curtains shut and windows open. Of course, as a fashion editor, I’ve spent a lot of time considering the ideal kind of outfit to wear in hot weather that doesn’t just consist of sitting around in my pants. I might still be working from home, but I do have standards. While dresses are great and all that, and absolutely should be kept in your heatwave-dressing arsenal, I think there’s one item that you don’t want to overlook when it’s warm: linen trousers and, in particular, wide-leg linen trousers. This garment is great for keeping you cool thanks to the breathable material, but the loose style also helps to circulate air (goodbye, thigh-chafing).…

I’m Always Looking for the Best Under-Eye Corrector, and I Think I’ve Found It

July 21, 2021 at 06:30AM If you come here often, you’ll know that my ongoing battle with dark circles has been a long and tumultuous one. No doubt due to genetics, I’ve been graced with two prominent under-eye dark circles on my face for as long as I can remember. And while I don’t particularly mind the way that they look, over the years, I’ve become totally fed up with people telling me I look tired when in reality I’ve slept for 10 hours.I have spent a huge chunk of my life testing every eye cream out there that promises to rid my under-eyes of dark circles, and the truth is none of them works. Sure, they can brighten things up a little and help tackle dehydration, but no eye cream is going to totally cure dark circles. After countless consultations with various doctors about…

18 Summer Outfits We Love for All Kinds of Weather

July 21, 2021 at 06:07AM I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is summer. If you too are dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits for our return to socialising with fewer restrictions. I bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the proposal for a freer summer and have been looking for outfit ideas ever since.Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember if the sandals don’t work due to rain, plenty of the below outfits work…
