February 25, 2022 at 06:00AM I never thought I’d see the day that would COS include neon in its new season collection, yet the brand’s spring drop arrived last week, and alongside its classic offering of neutrals, there was a generous dose of highlighter hues. And you know what? It looked pretty damn cool. It’s yet another example of how the brand has been adapting to the modern fashion market in recent years, cleverly harnessing its minimalist credentials to deliver collections that feel fresh yet not at all faddy.Ever since it expanded out of its OG, ‘chic art lecturer’ aesthetic, I have found myself increasingly drawn to COS’s high-street offering. It does the best basics, whether it’s jeans or T-shirts, which not only come in heavyweight fabrics, but also boast purse-friendly price points. I have pieces from the brand that I've worn for 5 years plus and they’re still going strong.…

February 25, 2022 at 06:00AM Let’s cut to the chase here: & Other Stories’s spring collection is here and, I have to say, it’s looking pretty damn premium. And this is coming from someone who spends their life scrolling through the new-in sections of online stores. Let me tell you why: Firstly, the tailoring. I am, admittedly, a bit of a tailoring fiend, and you will always find me lurking around the blazers at any given store, however & Other Stories’s spring offerings are looking particularly noteworthy. This brown iteration is a highlight, with its cinching belt and slightly oversized fit; just add the matching waistcoat and trousers for a serious power suit ensemble. I also need to mention the knitwear, specifically the cardigans. I’m not usually a cardigan person (so many styles end up looking a little sad and insubstantial), but this season & Other Stories has offered…

February 25, 2022 at 06:00AM We admit, street style during fashion month can get a little wild. There are some people who go all out for shows in fabulous tulle dresses and heels higher than you could ever imagine walking in (let alone looking effortlessly fabulous in)— and we have the utmost respect for them. But it’s not all feathers and froth, we promise. Most of us attending are running around from show to show, jumping on the tube and dealing with gale force winds (thanks Eunice) as we try to scoff a Pret sandwich before the next event begins. Which also means our outfits actually need to be easy, comfortable and mostly practical, as well as chic. That’s not to say these looks are any less inspiring. On the contrary, it’s often the more understated, wearable outfits that get us the most excited when we…

February 25, 2022 at 05:04AM What to wear to the races? Let’s find out… When it comes to occasion dressing, knowing what to wear to the races is perhaps the most challenging. Thanks to the strict dress codes and age-old formal traditions, it can be easy to not feel like yourself and end up buying something you would never ever wear again. Because really how practical is a fascinator that looks like a tropical bird? And, for that matter, how much do you even want to own one?Races such as Goodwood are the chance to dress up and wear something you wouldn’t usually, but there are some key things you need to bear in mind so you aren’t that barefoot racegoer hobbling in the rain with a hat in your hand.If you’re planning on attending any races this year, or simply want to apply…
