August 09, 2021 at 06:20AM What makes a wedding dress suitable for autumn is ultimately down to your personal preference and what your overall wedding day looks like. Although I was an August bride, my wedding took place in my Scottish coastal hometown, so, erring on the side of caution, I chose a fitted dress to minimise the chill. Though it was sleeveless, I was prepared for what the enviable chilly downpour that ensued, thanks to a beautiful, ecru leather jacket I bought on a whim up just the week before. And I’m so glad I did, as I barely took to off.I don’t think a bride should let the elements determine what they should wear on her wedding day—I’ve had friends get married on snowy December days in strapless goes that still look the beautiful part—but the season is something worth bearing in…

August 09, 2021 at 06:14AM When it comes to feeling good in your clothes, nothing has quite the same impact as wearing a bra that fits perfectly. For all the styling hacks and must-have accessories in the world, your underpinnings are the real game changer. The best bras work for you, not against you, leaving your silhouette more defined and allowing the kind of effortless comfort that doesn’t have you whipping the darn thing off the minute you get home.Many of us struggle to find this holy grail of lingerie, so I’m providing you with a very good starting point: The three bras that sell like crazy, fit like a dream and have become repeat purchases and repeat orders for some time. This information comes courtesy of Selfridges’s super-plush third-floor Body Studio lingerie and fit expert Clare Basche.There are thousands of brassieres on offer,…

August 09, 2021 at 06:10AM Of all the high street brands out there, Marks & Spencer is one I always like to keep my eye on; its past few collections have been so impressive, I’m constantly telling myself it can’t be bettered. However, as soon as the latest drop lands on-site, I find myself eating my worlds—M&S keeps getting chicer and chicer.Though I’d previously make a beeline for its Autograph category, which houses the brand’s more classic, design-led pieces, but now m head is incredibly turned by its other sections—Per Una and M&S Collection. Proof that it pays to keep tabs on Marks & Spencer’s movements—you never know what you might miss otherwise.Yatri wears a blazer and trousers from Marks & Spencer. As autumn is well and truly on its way, I decided to do a little reconnaissance and see what M&S has in store for the season ahead.…

August 09, 2021 at 06:00AM Within the ever-colliding stratospheres of fashion and beauty, “rules” have become a bit passé, if not obsolete altogether. Gone are the days when we’d refuse to wear white after Labor Day or dismiss navy and black as an ill-conceived colour pairing. Currently, we feel inspired to dye our hair a demurely shocking shade of lavender. A hot-pink eyelid is cooler than yesteryear’s smoked-out cat eye, and we’re even experimenting with crystal-studded manicures and cute-but-clashing polish shades. Our point? It’s an exciting time to be in fashion and beauty, and more so than ever before, our hair, makeup and fashion aesthetic reflect that.Hair, especially, has been the comeback kid of 2021. Previously old-fashioned styles like the mullet have been artistically resurrected, and we currently own more scrunchies, hair claws and butterfly clips than we did circa 1999. Impressive. That said, one…

August 09, 2021 at 06:00AM Traditionally in the fashion calendar September is a time associated with newness, as autumn collections arrive in store and at fashion week we have a first look at the trends that are emerging for the following year. However for us, this shift in season is often about refining our wardrobes and investing in classic, versatile staples. Weekday’s new-in section is bursting with tie-dye and trippy prints, but it’s the new denim which is really getting our attention.Weekday has arguably the best denim offering on the high street, delivering amazing quality for under £60 a pair. They have mastered classic cuts, as The Row is quite simply the perfect pair of straight-leg, high-waisted jeans. Although the overall offering has a focus on durable, classic cuts, they do tweak silhouettes to offer an unlikely edge. This season that comes in the…

August 09, 2021 at 06:00AM With the British weather currently doing a classic yo-yo between intense sunshine and all-day downpours, and basically nothing in between, it might seem somewhat out of sorts to be talking about summer skincare essentials. However, I’m optimistic that sunshine season will be sticking around on a more permanent basis soon, and with more and more of us spending time outdoors whatever the weather, it makes sense to be overly prepared when it comes to caring for our skin—especially as summer can spark a whole host of unexpected changes for our complexions.“The summer brings with it a desire to be outdoors more, enjoy sports outside, sit by windows and enjoy the warmth and light from the sun, [and] this results in an increase in radiation to the skin,” explains Emma Craythorne, SkinCeuticals’ consultant dermatologist. Skin experts agree that this increased exposure to UVB rays alongside UVA radiation…

August 09, 2021 at 06:00AM I don’t know about you but I get really excited about autumn shoe trends. Perhaps it’s because they have a sort of back-to-school sheen to them, even if you left quite some time ago, or it’s just a welcome change from wearing sandals. Or maybe it’s because autumn is easily the best season out there (don’t @ me, it really is). For 2021, there’s an abundance of autumn shoe trends that are worth getting hyped up about, which are perfect for the coming cooler weather. But what I love the most is that there are some fun trends that we haven’t seen for a while that are guaranteed to please plenty of fashion people. After looking through all the runway collections for autumn/winter 2021, I’ve identified 12 trends that are key for this season. There are some classic practical boots that will…
