How to Dress Sustainably This Festival Season

April 19, 2022 at 10:51PM Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to love about Coachella fashion. I mean, where else would you see Harry Styles and Shania Twain perform in matching sequin ensembles? Over-the-top outfits have come to define the event, but that’s starting to change. As fashionable festivalgoers dress to impress in the crowded desert, a culture of overconsumption has become the norm. And one thing is urgently clear: we can’t keep going like this. After a three year pandemic hiatus, Coachella 2022 marked the return of in-person festivals on April 15. The fashion-forward affair was first in the line of various upcoming summer music events, including Canadian festivals Osheaga and Veld. But as the climate crisis intensifies, it’s impossible to ignore the environmental nightmare that is festival fashion. A 2019 study found that, every year, about 7.5 million festival outfits are…

Meghan Markle’s Cutout Minidress Reminds Us of Her Pre-Royal Style

April 19, 2022 at 09:35PM Meghan Markle’s latest style moments have incorporated several luxe white pieces into her wardrobe. During day two of the Netherlands-based 2022 Invictus Games, Markle attended the IGF Reception alongside Prince Harry in an ivory, floral laser-cut Valentino minidress with long sleeves, a rounded neckline, and a zipper at the back. Hitting above the knee, the silhouette allowed Markle to make the most of her footwear: brown suede pumps that perfectly complemented her husband’s oxfords. On the accessory front, she chose a gold Cartier Love bracelet and silver rings, including her three-stone engagement ring set on a sparkling, thin pavĂ© diamond band. Markle swept her loose waves to the side to reveal a bold red lip, which eagle-eyed Twitter fans pointed to as a pre-royal beauty move. An ornate white minidress was a look she previously gravitated toward in…

Hailey Bieber’s Stylist on Making Festival Fashion Interesting Again

April 19, 2022 at 08:25PM Supermodel Hailey Bieber, 25, has been a fixture at Coachella for years. She usually attends the Palm Springs, CA music festival in laidback looks with a nostalgic fashion slant; think ‘90s-inspired graphic tees mixed with cutoffs, or crop tops and cargo pants accessorized with body chains. For Bieber’sfestival outfits, her stylist Karla Welch - who also counts Justin Bieber and Tracee Ellis Ross as clients - often thrifts and sources items from her personal closet. That process inspired Welch’s new partnership with secondhand retailer thredUP on an edit of festival clothes ranging from printed denim to vintage tops. “The fashion from shows like 'Euphoria’ will definitely influence the trends people test out at festivals.” The collaboration couldn’t come at a better time, as festival season is proving to be one of the fashion industry’s most wasteful periods. thredUP…

Lizzo Wore a Sparkly Corset Catsuit on “SNL” Because She Can

April 19, 2022 at 06:05PM Lizzo played double duty over the weekend, appearing on the April 16 episode of “Saturday Night Live” as both the host and musical guest. For the occasion, she went with an assortment of sparkly outfits, seamlessly switching between her two roles. (Though the singer did break character during the hysterical Beanie Babies “SNL” sketch, but it’s hard to blame her for that.) She started the episode wearing a bright blue ruched minidress, accessorizing with a complementary metallic blue fringe coat. During the episode, she performed two new songs from her long-awaited upcoming album, “Special,” which is set for a July 15 release. Ahead of her first performance of the night, she introduced herself while wearing an ornate black and white feather coat. “Ladies and gentlemen, me,” she said, throwing the coat aside to reveal a bedazzled neon yellow…

I’m a Stylist— Here Are 25 Expensive-Looking Classics I’d Recommend From Arket

April 19, 2022 at 08:00AM A good wardrobe is nothing without a solid base of classic capsule pieces. You know the ones— the items you pull out and incorporate into your outfits most days. The simple, yet far from boring staples you’d be lost without— it could be the perfect white T-shirt, pair of jeans or your favourite easy jacket that goes with everything. As a stylist, I’ve spent the best part of a decade searching for the perfect versions of these items to use in photo shoots or to recommend to all of my clients, as well as to fill my own collection with— and surprisingly enough the one place I always turn to isn’t the most expensive designer, it’s actually high street. In my opinion Arket classics win every time, and I constantly find myself suggesting the brand when people ask me…

Blake Lively’s Manicurist Just Told Me What Spring Nail Colours Will Be a Hit

April 19, 2022 at 08:00AM I know it’s hard to keep up with the constantly revolving door of nail trends lately, but let’s just take a step back and appreciate the simpler things in life like, oh I don’t know, a few nail colours for spring, maybe? I’ve gathered an impressive roster of hues that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. I won’t lie, though—I had a little help from celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein. She dished on all the shades she’s using this season and what designs she’s loving lately.“Designs I’m loving right now are impressions and pops of bold pastel,” she says. “They’re great for brushstroke techniques and abstract art—both are going to be very big. The colours are muted but when combined correctly can make an impactful contrast. They also look great with a metal accent, which is another huge…

Maxi Skirts Are Back, and These 7 Outfit Formulas Make Them Look Chic

April 19, 2022 at 08:00AM Midi hemlines have dominated the skirt scene for years, but times are a-changing. Last year, as the world started to open up again, we saw a meteoric rise—no pun intended—in mini hemlines as fashion devotees reclaimed glamour and reintroduced impracticality into their wardrobes. But what does the future hold for skirts this year? Well, if the S/S 22 runways are anything to go by (spoiler: they are), then maxi hemlines are set to be all the rage.It’s been a while since maxi skirts were on the style agenda, but as Who What Wear UK’s editor in chief, Hannah Almassi, noted in our bumper trend report, “key brands such as Louis Vuitton and Givenchy [are] backing the cut. There is a Y2K lilt to these hemlines descending, with simple tube styles that fit closer to the ankles being more present than,…
