Not All Street Style Is ‘Out There’— These 7 Chic Looks Are So Easy to Copy

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…

10 Tips for Dressing for the Races and Still Feeling Like Yourself

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…

This $65 Quilted Jacket Will Be the Star of My Spring Wardrobe

February 24, 2022 at 11:45PM I’m so excited for spring that I’m trying to manifest warmer weather through my wardrobe. So far, it’s safe to say that it’s not working - it’s currently snowing where I live in Minnesota, and the seven-day forecast looks seriously bleak. Nevertheless, I’m not-so-quietly building my closet up for less dire temperatures. Last week, I stumbled across the perfect pair of subtly distressed high-rise jeans. This week, I’m living for the Old Navy StretchTech Oversized Quilted Shacket ($65), my latest pre-spring purchase. I bought the shacket in Terrestrial Green, resisting the urge to also scoop it up in the white Wish Bone color. I fell even more in love with the shacket’s quilted texture IRL; it gives the casual coat a luxe look. My only complaint? Upon trying it on when it arrived, I realized that one thing’s…

Julia Fox Sat Front Row at Diesel in a Yellow Leather Set and Latex Bandeau Top

February 24, 2022 at 07:20PM Julia Fox is enjoying something of a fashion renaissance. As the news of her breakup with Kanye West swarmed the internet, the actress was prepping backstage at Laquan Smith during New York Fashion Week, getting ready to open the show in a racy black cutout design dubbed the new revenge dress. A week later, the “Uncut Gems” star took to the streets of Milan to showcase her edgy fashion sense, brightening up Diesel’s front row in a yellow leather ensemble designed by the brand. Setting aside the dark aesthetic she adopted as West’s muse during Paris Fashion Week, Fox embraced a sunnier vibe with a trucker jacket with white stitching, layered over a black latex bandeau bra top and a pair of yellow “pantaboots”. She retained some of her signature edge, however, by accessorizing with black latex gloves,…

Texture Talk: How I Learned to Box Braid My Own Hair

February 24, 2022 at 05:58PM Growing up, I had one of those moms that could do almost anything. She cooked jerk chicken, built shelves and, most importantly, she could braid. When I was younger, I would sit on a pillow in front of the TV and get my hair done by her capable hands. After marathoning Charmed or One Tree Hill for hours, I would leave the flattened pillow with a bruised butt, a tender scalp and gleaming braids. At the time, I wasn’t interested in the process. I was interested in looking cute and watching toxic couples break up and make up (Phoebe and Cole forever.) When I moved to Toronto for school and noticed my lack of Black girl beauty skills, doing my own hair still didn’t cross my mind. Instead, I suffered through a few braidless years before meeting my…

4 Nail Colours That Everyone Will Be Wearing in 2022

February 24, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to the world of beauty, 2021 will go down as the year that nails ruled supreme.

9 Easy Jumper-and-Trouser Outfits That Look Next-Level Chic

February 24, 2022 at 08:00AM My sartorial needs right now are simple: to be warm and comfortable. So that means nothing is coming between me and my jumpers at the moment. Still, after pulling on my favourite cream cable-knit jumper for what feels like (and probably is) the 500th day in a row, I’m in need of some fresh inspiration on how to style it as we head into spring.Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Jumper-and-trouser outfits are hardly groundbreaking—they’re one of the most basic combinations out there. But aren’t the simplest things always the most effective? I certainly think so. Putting jeans, leggings and joggers to one side, I was keen to discover how fashion people are assembling their jumper-and-trouser outfits for spring in an attempt to make my own ensembles more polished (though no less comfortable). And what I found was seriously impressive.From…
