November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM Now that both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have resumed working following a summer break, you can expect to see a lot of stellar autumn outfits very soon. However, stellar doesn’t have to translate as brand new. Since the Duchess of Cambridge tends to stick to her signature personal style and rely upon classic wardrobe staples she already owns, we have a feeling she’ll be bringing back all of her favourite trends from seasons past. In fact, today she stepped out in a checked pleated midi dress that we’ve seen before.Another good example? She already resurrected an old, reliable pair of See by Chloé lace-up boots for a function this month—further proof that decent footwear choices do last. She also brings back one specific jacket style every autumn as well as a functional, sporty piece that’s very versatile for literally anyone’s winter wardrobe, royal or not.…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM As temperatures start to drop and dark evenings draw in, it’s safe to say that my motivation to do just about anything has hit rock bottom. While post-work activities were abundant during warm summer evenings, as soon as autumn hit, I started spending my weekday afternoons battling energy slumps and counting down the minutes until it’s deemed acceptable to go to bed. It’s true that summoning the energy to do anything at this time of year can be tricky. Even cooking dinner after a long day at work can feel like a mountain climb. However, while physical motivation is no doubt lacking, that’s not to say that our brains switch off quite so easily. While our bodies are crying out to be horizontal and swaddled in blankets, the everyday stresses of work (and life in general) can remain racing around our minds. And…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM In recent years, it was typical to see leggings paired with sneakers or a pair of slide sandals from time to time, but that’s about it. This winter, celebrities have been wearing them outside of the gym a lot more than usual, even dressing them up with chic outerwear and jewellery. And the particular shoe style that’s most often worn with jeans this time of year? Ankle boots.Yes, you read correctly—leather ankle boots (and not just Uggs) have made their way back into celebrities’ legging outfits, many of which have heels. We’ll admit that they look very, very chic. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and black suede ankle boots. Want to see more proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and–ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit (and shop stylish leggings and ankle boots, of course).On Jennifer…

November 02, 2021 at 06:30AM While it’s technically still autumn, in typical UK style, it feels as though we’re done with our two-week-long season of crisp air and crunchy leaves. In fact, it feels like we've fast-forwarded straight to winter. Yep, with darkness looming at 4 p.m. and temperatures dropping into single figures, it’s safe to say we’re gearing up for winter already.And if we’re quite honest, winter isn’t the season for us. Sure, when it comes to fashion, colder months can seem enticing (what is there not to like about cashmere knits and chic coats?), but winter has a wicked way of messing with our beauty routines. From turning that summer-skin glow red and irritated to drying and breaking our sun-kissed strands, winter knows how to turn our beauty joys sour.That’s why we like to turn our attention to our nails at this time of year. A small pick-me-up that sparks huge amounts…

November 02, 2021 at 06:09AM Once we hit November 1, in my book, it’s officially party season! It’s when we all seem to have recovered from the initial doom and gloom of our post-summer-holiday slump, and we’ve stocked up on winter warmers to keep us looking chic through the colder months. But whilst I love a great coat and cosy knit, it doesn’t get much better than party dressing.Anyone who knows me well knows I am a magpie for a standout party outfit. Why settle for anything less when you can be dripping in sequins, flouncing in frills, and… Well, you get my drift. And whilst it might seem a little hasty to be shopping for party outfits already, there are only a limited number of weeks in the run-up to the festive season, so you might as well make the most of them, as it’s…

November 02, 2021 at 06:07AM You only need to have a quick scan of a tube platform or any shopping centre to see that midi dresses have become an easy uniform for British women. They are a reliable outfit in one and make you feel polished, even on those mornings when you only have five minutes to get ready. In winter, they can be a little trickier to style, however, because you have to think about the length of your coat, whether it goes with a couple of layers of knitwear and what boots you can wear with said dress.There are five dress trends this winter that make all these styling questions a little easier, and you’re going to see a lot of this month and beyond. If comfort is what you are into, then look no further than the jumper dress, which…

November 02, 2021 at 06:05AM If the recent past has taught us anything, it’s that you need to squeeze as much joy as possible out of your daily activities. Right now, that probably means doing things like making your favourite dinners on repeat and lighting your favourite candle to cosy into the darker evenings. For me, it also means wearing clothing that actually makes me happy. For example, on days when my energy feels depleted, I like to reach for an oversize red cardigan that’s just as cosy as it is fun. I’m also a fan of wearing a leopard-print dress or skirt—even if I stay in all day. I looked to some of my favourite influencers to see what they’re wearing right now. Not only will these outfits battle the colder weather, but they also might give you a rush of endorphins, however small an amount that might…

November 02, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As fashion editors, it is our job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition but pack a punch via colour, print or fabric. Tonal dressing is the perfect example of…
