This $45 Blazer Is a Perfect Dupe of Meghan Markle’s Invictus Games Jacket

April 20, 2022 at 06:35PM From a laser-cut minidress to a crisp pantsuit, Meghan Markle donned several standout looks for the 2022 Invictus Games, which also saw Prince Harry in attendance. In fact, the event hosted in the Netherlands marked their first joint visit to Europe since making their royal exit. Markle’s choice to mostly wear white during her trip reads like a fresh start, offering hope in a moment marked by a pandemic and a war in Ukraine. At the welcome party, she wowed in an all-white Valentino suit consisting of a double-breasted blazer and tailored trousers. Accessorizing with Valentino Garavani’s studded leather shoulder bag and a few of her signature jewelry pieces, Markle made a case for elegant power dressing. She exuded that same effortless sophistication at the opening ceremony in a Princess Diana-inspired draped bodysuit by New York label Khaite,…

I Tried Hailey Bieber’s “Holy-Grail” Vitamin C Serum, and Now I’m Obsessed

April 20, 2022 at 05:09AM When it comes to her fashion and beauty aesthetic, Hailey Bieber has two trademarks. The first is a minimalist wardrobe that’s comprised of elevated staple pieces. (I’m talking about oversize leather jackets, baggy jeans, and white T-shirts.) The second is a glowing complexion. (Bright, light-reflective skin is the foundation for every single one of her makeup looks.) . Seeing as I’m a beauty writer, I have a tendency to focus on the latter. Can you blame me? I write about skin for a living, and Bieber is basically the poster child for that lit-from-within look. Plus, I work pretty tirelessly to achieve that look for myself, so of course, I’m going to perk up and pay attention when she talks about the products and devices she uses. Imagine my delight when, in a recent YouTube video, she revealed the exact vitamin C serum she uses to maintain her exceedingly even complexion.…

This Designer Turned Leftover Garment Tags Into A Trendy Outfit

April 20, 2022 at 02:42PM Lauren Novak, founder and creative director of Remark by Lauren, doesn’t believe in the word “upcycling.” “It makes me mad,” she admits over video chat. “I think it cheapens what we as sustainable designers do and makes it feel very ‘craft fair’ when, in fact, every company should be doing it or at the very least using biodegradable or natural materials.” The one-of-a-kind pieces created by Novak for her Toronto-based brand are far from what you might find at an average market stall. While the designer defines her design directive as one of comfort, a quick look at her Instagram provides a more expansive view, as Y2K nostalgia and Miu Miu-esque silhouettes abound. To make her whimsical wares, she uses pre-existing materials such as dead-stock fabric and discarded clothing instead of traditional textiles as a response to the…

Stacey Dooley’s Low-Key Jeans-and-Sandal Formula Is All I Want to Wear Right Now

April 20, 2022 at 01:40PM Easy outfits—is there anything more satisfying than throwing on a couple of wardrobe basics, turning to see your reflection in the mirror, and what you see just works? It’s what I live for and what I’m sure Stacey Dooley experienced when she assembled her latest look.Jeans are a failsafe in any wardrobe, but I’ll be the first to admit that I can get a little tired of thinking up fresh ways to style them. This is precisely why I saved Dooley’s latest IG post. Sharing a snap of her outfit, I was impressed at just how good she made the baggy jean trend look by styling hers with another essential ‘90s staple; chunky thong sandals.I would go as far as to say that Stacey’s jean-and-sandal pairing is “new”, but it is a combination I personally haven’t thought to…

The 7 Best Shoes to Wear With Wide-Leg Trousers

April 20, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to outfit styling, few events provide as much inspiration as fashion week. Bringing together the fashion world’s most stylish individuals, these events act as a one-stop shop for outfit ideas and styling inspo.With spring well and truly here, I’ve been thinking about the season’s staples and pondering the best trouser-and-shoe pairings. Wide-leg trousers have always illuded me, as they seem to be a particularly difficult item to pair with footwear. (Evidently, I’m not alone. We’ve recently seen an increase in searches of the phrase “shoes to wear with wide-leg trousers.”)Luckily, the street style at Copenhagen Fashion Week, which is always attended by sleek dressers, offered up plenty of inspiration on this exact topic and was a veritable masterclass in how to style wide-leg trousers. Whether you’re looking to style flared jeans, wide-leg leather pants or traditional suit trousers,…

4 Mid-Length Styles That Make Thin Hair Look So Much Thicker

April 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Thin hair can be difficult to style. Trust me—I know. I’ve tried to make my naturally thin hair look thicker and fuller ever since I was in middle school and my mum let me get my hands on a hot tool. Since then, I’ve cycled through plenty of hairstyles, volumising products, and thickening techniques. Some have worked, but most haven’t. That’s okay. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned to live and work with my naturally thin hair (sigh), and the style I choose to wear it in has a lot to do with that. For example, I’ve learned a slick-straight style doesn’t do my thin hair any favours, which is why I tend to go with tousled, textured waves instead. So yeah, I had my opinions on what hairstyles work best for my thin, medium-length hair, but I was wondering what experts…

I’ve Worn This Bag for 10 Years, and It’s Still My Favourite of All Time

April 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Let’s play a little game of Never Have I Ever, shall we? I’ll start: Never have I ever worn a tote bag. Not the juiciest of goss, I know, but hear me out. I’m a crossbody-bag girl through and through, and while I would like it to be purely down to the aesthetic of said bag style, it is in fact mainly due to pure laziness. If I can get away with not carrying shopping bags, carriers or any form of luggage, I will. But seeing as an everyday bag is almost essential, I have to give in to carrying something around with me, and this is why the hands-free crossbody works. Also, due to my urge to not carry things, I’m all for more compact styles that’ll hold my loose bank card, chewing gum, lipstick and my phone—if…
