July 22, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s been a funny old year for the Great British high street, with various institutions either going under or being bought out by global conglomerates. Warehouse is one such high-street mainstay that was struggling before it was acquired by the Boohoo Group along with a few other big-name brands. We weren’t sure what to expect from this new iteration, but we can safely say that—if Instagram’s best-dressed influencers are anything to go by—it’s been given the fashion stamp of approval.We’ve noticed Warehouse’s dresses, in particular, have been a hit with the influencer crowd this summer, and we can certainly see why. From statement cut-outs and dramatic colour-block prints to bow-tie backs and chic T-shirt dresses, we have been so impressed with the brand’s expensive-looking offering this season. When scrolling through Instagram, we lose track of the number of Warehouse frocks that we spot,…

July 22, 2021 at 05:05AM When shopping on a high-street budget, it’s all too easy to fall for the trend-smashing charms and very regular new-in arrivals at Zara—we’re only human. The Spanish superbrand works fast and efficiently and never appears to miss a beat when it comes to the items we want to fill our wardrobes with at any given moment. In many instances, Zara can be credited with setting retail trends that other affordable stores follow—think of how every brand scrambled to produce a loose-fitting polka-dot midi when that dress took off a couple of summers ago. Right now, the store's shoe collection is strong, and the vibrant colours on offer are giving many of us the feels, but there are other ways and other shops that provide the same level of inspiration and excitement.If you want to be truly on top of your consumption, then…

July 22, 2021 at 05:09AM We can talk all day about how much we adore French brands, from the styling tricks owned by the country's chicest to the stars and street style gurus you should look to for excellent Parisian style. But what about the best French fashion brands that enable all the above? There are loads of them. From the super-luxe established designer Parisian fashion houses (Dior, Saint Laurent and Chanel) through to newer and more affordable startups like Sézane or The Frankie Shop, there’s a veritable gamut of Gallic labels to get to grips with. And that’s before we even get started on the incredible midrange section the French industry has licked. Think of some of the names you know, such as Maje, Sandro and Claudie Pierlot. They’re the cherry on top of a particularly tasty contemporary fashion sundae.French creator of Musier Paris Adenorah carrying…

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…

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. That said, we often gravitate toward women over 40 for style inspiration given their more experienced points of view. Influencers Erin Busbee and Melissa Meyers are two women we turn to for outfit inspo.Busbee, 46, and Meyers, 56, both consistently post looks on their blogs and Instagram feeds that are equal parts chic and easy. On that note, we were inclined to learn about the key pieces they’re into this season to build some of their strongest looks. They actually shared with us the five trends they both love due to the simple yet directional vibes.Keep scrolling to check out more from Busbee and Meyers, including styling inspiration. There’s also a wide variety of shopping picks if you’re interested in adding one of their go-to trends to your own…

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…
