The 7 Biggest Street Style Trends of the Season, as Seen on Fashion Editors

March 04, 2022 at 07:10PM Fashion Week always brings out the best street style moments of the season. Sure the catwalks dictate future trends, but the streets show us how to style the garments we already own. Coming out of lockdown, street style went in a totally new direction for the Fall 2022 season. Even as we all set aside our loungewear and filled our social calendars, comfort was still king, as seen through a series of relaxed yet elevated silhouettes. Eager to return to event dressing, some show-goers embraced bold, eye-catching color, in everything from coats and pants to accessories. Others continued to prioritize practicality and comfort, placing their bets on neutral wardrobe staples. Among the dressy set, statement outerwear emerged as a major trend for winter, and equally important are the shoes show-goers wore to brave the cold. Two-tone boots signaled…

Dua Lipa Paired Thigh-High Furry Boots With a Heart-Shaped Crop Top

March 04, 2022 at 06:15PM Dua Lipa has a new rule: you can’t leave the house without at least one item of fuzzy clothing. On March 3, the “Levitating” singer stopped by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” wearing a head-turning outfit from NYC-based brand Area. Styled by Lorenzo Posocco, Lipa wore black feather thigh-high platform boots and a matching houndstooth set. On top, the heart-shaped green and yellow crop top is outlined with crystals, and her matching skirt features pockets lined with crystals and colorful feathers down the sides. Lipa paired her outfit with a link chain necklace, small hoop earrings, rings, and crystal-covered bangles. She’s currently on tour for her “Future Nostalgia” album, and this recent stop in New York City is looking especially stylish. Earlier that day, Lipa rocked an Elmo-inspired fuzzy red Bottega Veneta outfit, as she’s fully leaning…

Women-Owned Brands to Shop This International Women’s Day

March 04, 2022 at 06:09PM International Women’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to to mark the occasion than by supporting women-owned brands? With its origins as a socialist movement in the early 1900s, IWD is a celebration of the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. This year’s theme, “Break the Bias,” calls on us all to “imagine a gender equal world.” In Canada and internationally, this dream can feel out of reach. From the abortion ban in Texas to the crisis in Ukraine that threatens the rights of LGBTQ+ people, playing an active role to create “a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination,” per IWD, is more important than ever. And so in honour of International Women’s Day, we’re spotlighting women-owned brands that you can support now. From clothing and accessories to beauty and home decor, these…

Kate Middleton Somehow Made $15 Earrings From ASOS Look Expensive

March 04, 2022 at 05:55PM While on a visit to the Blaenavon Heritage Centre in Wales, Kate Middleton sported a mostly green ensemble, perhaps hinting at the reason for her trip. The Duchess of Cambridge was seen planting a tree at the former iron production center, one of the many activities she engaged in that day. For that task, Middleton naturally opted for a more casual look, sporting a turtleneck sweater and a Sportmax wool coat decorated with a yellow flower detail on the left lapel. Paired with black ankle jeans and finished with gold hoops and black gloves, the look still boasted the regality we’ve come to associate with her ensembles while remaining appropriate for the occasion. The Duchess is known for wearing expensive fashion items, from her blue and gray Catherine Walker coats to the diamond earrings she styled from Queen…

I Always Get Compliments On This $27 Bodysuit From Amazon

March 04, 2022 at 05:45PM After a certain amount of compliments, a person feels obliged to share, and I’m here to say I’ve wracked in more “OMG I love your bodysuit” praises than I can count. I was inspired to buy this Gembera Women’s Long Sleeve Button Collar Bodysuit ($27) from one of my favorite influencers, Sivan Ayla, and if you don’t know her, you might know this incredible self-tanner that she makes. I bought it as soon as I watched her Instagram story (yes, I was influenced) and I’m thrilled that I did. The package arrived just a few short days after I purchased it, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this bodysuit was made of a stretchy spandex material with a fleece interior that’s been clutch for cold weather. Its sleeves are purposely long with button cuffs, and its button-down…

Dua Lipa Channels Elmo in a Fuzzy Red Suit & Yellow Sunglasses

March 04, 2022 at 12:20AM While celebrities like Halle Bailey, plus the street style stars of Paris are embracing spring fashion trends, Dua Lipa is staying cozy in a red fuzzy suit on a private plane ride. While on tour for her “Future Nostalgia” album, the “Levitating” singer posed in a faux fur jacket and pants set that immediately brings Elmo to mind. Captioning the post with, “🪢🪢🪢soft 2 the touch 🪢🪢🪢,” the superstar brought home just how cozy the Sesame Street-inspired material feels. Designed by Bottega Veneta, Lipa’s furry outfit was accessorized with a few rings - one of them emblazoned with her hometown United Kingdom flag - as well as a black shoulder bag trimmed with blue faux fur.

Jordyn Woods’ Date-Night Dress Adds an Artsy Twist to the Cutout Trend

March 03, 2022 at 11:45PM The cutout trend is a favorite of Jordyn Woods; the model simply can’t get enough of the look. And if her past style moments are any indication, her preference when it comes to cutouts is the more, the merrier. Woods recently took to Instagram to display her latest date-night look, a blue fitted stretch-jersey midi dress in an abstract print with a side slit. The sleeveless design is the work of London-based womenswear label Farai London and it features four asymmetrical front cutouts that extend to the back. Complimenting the color story, Woods added a mini blue Birkin bag to her look. Her hair was styled into a sleek high bun, allowing every detail of the dress to shine, while small hoops and three bracelets were the only accessories of choice. The Farai London design made a suitable…

Markarian’s Alexandra O’Neill Is Ready For People to Get Dressed Up Again

March 03, 2022 at 11:10PM Arriving at the venue where the Markarian fall 2022 runway show took place, I felt immediately transported to the 1920s. The opulently decorated Prince Ballroom - with its mosaic tile ceiling and gold-painted chairs - was the perfect backdrop for The Great Gatsby-themed presentation, where Nicky Hilton Rothschild and Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell sat front row. The models played into the fantasy in glittering ball gowns finished with elegant headpieces designed by Gigi Burris. The collection sent a singular message: people are ready to dress up again. Unsurprisingly, scenes from the Roaring Twenties were on founder Alexandra O'Neill’s mood board when designing the collection. The designer, who counts Demi Lovato and First Lady Jill Biden as fans, fell in love with New York City’s jazz age while reading F. Scott Fitzgerald novels and Dorothy Parker…
