If You’re Looking for an Investment Coat, I Would Recommend These 8 Styles

November 12, 2021 at 06:56AM In fashion terms, there is something uniquely potent about the power of an investment buy—an item of clothing that is able to hold its value and beauty and keep us coming back for more, season after season. In a world of micro-trends, next day delivery and more shopping options than one could ever need, the gentle plod of a timeless piece is not to be underestimated.For the weather-beaten Brit, the coat has to be one of the items of clothing that carries the heaviest load in our wardrobes, as it needs to get us through at least six months of the year (if not more) and must be warm enough to keep out the chill while still looking the part.

This Is What the High Street Is Getting Right This Winter

November 12, 2021 at 06:00AM A couple of the Who What Wear editors and I were discussing the high street's A/W 21 trends the other day, and the main thing we noted was how similar they were to last year’s offering. And you know what? It really is a breath of fresh air. Scroll through any new-in category right now, and you’ll see plenty of cold-weather heroes: puffer coats, chunky boots, crew-neck knits and clean-lined tailoring.

Black designers had a big night at this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards. They took home a range of prestigious awards, a testament to the breakthrough fashion moments they’ve orchestrated this year. From Telfar Clemens’s numerous successful collaborations (most recently with the sage bag that made its Insecure debut) to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s much talked about “Tax the Rich” dress designed by Aurora James, Black creatives were at the center of many of 2021’s biggest moments.
