November 21, 2021 at 06:02AM As the runways become increasingly seasonless, so do our wardrobes. This, of course, is aided by the fact we live in Britain, where only a few weeks in the summer and winter feel truly distinguishable. As a consequence, boots have become something of a year-round staple, which makes investing in the right pair so important. Get it right, and you’ll have purchased something you could very realistically wear for near-enough 300 days out of the year (give or take). And it just so happens now is the perfect time to discuss the boot trends that matter in 2021 that you can carry through to next year, too. After considering the most noteworthy ensembles with boots from the 2021 runways, you can see there are some key looks that are perennial and don’t feel tethered to any particular season. Still, this is…

November 21, 2021 at 06:00AM & Other Stories is widely known for its stylish and affordable knitwear, and every season we discover a new style that captures our attention. This season, it comes courtesy of a classic collared cardigan. Simple? Undoubtedly. But it’s a winning staple that you’re bound to wear for many years to come. We’ve also lost track of the number of fashion editors we’ve seen wearing this cardigan, which is always a good sign. Coming in five different colourways—from cream and green to purple and black—the cardigan can be adapted for every occasion and wardrobe. We reckon it would look just as good with jeans and boots as it would with midi skirts and dresses or even layered over a slim-fit roll-neck for that matter. Now that’s what we call good cost per wear. So if you’re in need of an affordable winter knit to keep you cosy for many…

November 20, 2021 at 08:00AM We’ll say it: no one nails the art of effortless beauty like French girls. Call it a stereotype if you’d like, but French girls always seem to have the most beautiful makeup looks. Considering that France is home to some of beauty’s biggest names (think L’Oréal, Guerlain and Clarins), it only makes sense that the French way of life is laced with nods to the country’s roots in beauty. It only takes a couple of minutes of roaming the streets in Paris to spot that French women know how to apply their makeup. Their skin is plump, smooth and glowing, their brows appear effortlessly preened, and their cheeks radiate a flush so healthy it leaves you wondering what their secret is. But wonder no more because we’ve reached out to French makeup artist Ewa Ciezkowska to uncover the six makeup tips French girls…

November 20, 2021 at 08:00AM One would never really describe Kate Middleton’s style as divisive or challenging. She is the Pied Piper of classic. She is the leader when it comes to lovely dresses and delightful coats. More often than not, she plays it safe in her favourite pumps and beloved trinket jewellery. It’s all par for the royal course, we know, but every now and then, the Duchess of Cambridge goes through a more daring streak, and when it happens, you can be sure that our editors become available to pore over every detail. Hot on the heels of a rather “wow” appearance last night for the premiere of the latest Bond movie, No Time to Die, the DoC followed up her stellar golden caped gown from Jenny Packham with another British designer today. Choosing a vibrant purple trouser suit from Emilia Wickstead was an inspired and rather bold…

November 20, 2021 at 08:00AM In case you don’t have time to check all your favourite shopping sites on a regular basis, don’t worry—I’m here to do that for you. It’s my job to keep my finger on the fashion pulse, and part of that is maintaining an all-seeing eye over the new-in sections of every brand, from the big to the boutique, to ensure you don’t miss a beat. And this week, as I was doing my research, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the fresh pieces on three websites: Gap, H&M and Marks and Spencer.Aïda Badji Sané wears a coat from H&M. While the high-street has generally been in autumn mode since September, it would appear these three brands have been saving some of their best cold-weather pieces until now, which is handy, seeing as the temperatures plummeted this week.It goes without saying…
