February 13, 2022 at 06:05AM Each year, fresh It pieces arrive on the fashion scene that are scooped up by all of the insiders. The year ahead is no exception. While we’re still just getting started in 2022, there are already some major designer It items that have arrived at cult status and will define fashion this year. Here, I’m focusing on pieces that are having a moment but also have serious staying power.Just because they're trending doesn’t necessarily mean they’re brand-new, so I’ve included the just-dropped designer pieces everyone’s talking about and luxury heritage pieces that are now more popular than ever. Ahead are the 10 It pieces that are already defining fashion in 2022—from the designer trainers that are nearly sold out everywhere to the platforms that are about to be huge to the iconic bag that’s somehow cooler than ever.Celine’s Triomphe logo has won me over in all of…

February 13, 2022 at 06:00AM I have to confess I had planned that this story would be about new styling ideas for 2022 from the spring summer collections. After completing my research for the piece, I looked through my saved images and noticed that 7 out of 8 of the styling ideas that had stood out to me all involved a pair of trousers. So here we are, this is now a story about how to wear trousers in 2022, because it’s clearly all I am paying attention to right now.Our most-read stories of the month are pretty much all about wide-leg trousers, so clearly I’m not alone in my trouser obsession. It seems like we’re all ready to get out of the leggings and comfortable trousers, and return to more tailored styles. Designers such as Peter Do, Proenza Schouler and Victoria Beckham…

February 13, 2022 at 06:00AM There is much to love about spring—a shift from heavy coats to lighter, brighter knits, a joyful colour palette that shakes off the gloominess of winter, and an excuse for some fresh nail art to celebrate the changing seasons. However, there’s one seasonal switch-up that excites me about all others and that’s the chance to bid farewell to my heavy winter fragrances (you know, the ones that are as warming as your favourite cable knit jumper and as heady as your nan's sherry at christmas) and hello to lighter, brighter spring perfumes. However, as someone that truly loves all that spicy vanilla and warm wood aromas that come as standard in typically autumn-winter scents, it has taken me a while to get my head around what constitutes a great-smelling spring fragrance. Typically, spring perfume equals floral. And while that’s great if you love a big bouquet of scent, if…

February 13, 2022 at 06:00AM There’s a deep, dark section of the internet (2009 Facebook albums) where you will see the highlights of my highlighting fails. The streaks across my cheeks could be used to light a landing strip for a red-eye flight from Heathrow– it was a very bright look. I didn’t take heed of the fact I needed an illuminator that meshed with my warm undertone and instead seemed to only want to counteract this with ice white highlighters. To be fair to me, the choice back then was so limited. The formulas were mostly powdery and catered to very limited skin tones, let alone undertones as well.Luckily, now there is a lot more choice and better textures to play with too. I do prefer a liquid illuminator over powder as I find them easier to apply in a rush; they…

February 13, 2022 at 06:00AM I’ve been a fashion editor for many years now and one of my favourite items of clothing that I always turn to when I want to look put-together is wide-leg trousers. The only problem is, I'm 5'2 (just) and it’s often a difficult balancing act between looking chic and looking swamped. Find the right pair though, and this pants style works wonders for leg lengthening, making you appear taller and, I always think, smarter. It took me a long time to discover the joys of this trend though. Being on the shorter side meant I avoided them like the plague, ogling from afar at tall girls wearing them in the office or at fashion week. It was only when I was forced into a pair for an event and received some compliments that I became determined to make the trend work for me and my petite…
