The M&S Leather Trousers That Have Been a Huge Hit With the Fashion Crowd

February 12, 2022 at 06:00AM In the contemporary wardrobe, leather trousers are one of those wardrobe items that were previously considered statement items, reserved for the rock stars and Kate Mosses of the world (with the odd cameo from Ross from Friends). However, in recent years, they’ve settled into a more mainstream strata, embraced by brands at both ends of the fashion market. I mean, if someone had told fashion editors 20 years ago that M&S would create its own pair of faux-leather trousers and that the fashion crowd would snap them up, they probably wouldn’t have believed you.But here were are, and I have to admit that these ÂŁ40 high-street faux-leather trousers present a good challenge to some designer iterations I’ve seen thanks to their perfect straight-leg and high-waisted fit. I’ve already seen this pair on the likes of Francesca Saffari and Karina from Style Idealist, who have styled them with everything from quilted jackets to striped knits. We…

The 6 Spring Trends Our Editors Are Impatient to Wear

February 12, 2022 at 06:00AM I don’t know about you, but this winter has felt like the longest on record, so boy are we excited to be edging ever closer to spring. It’s been almost two years since we first went into lockdown, so we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate the feel-good fashions that will be brightening up our wardrobes this season. After all, if the last 24 months have shown us anything, it’s that what we wear can really have have an impact on how we feel.So really, it came as no surprise that when I asked our editorial team which trends they’re impatient to wear for the new season, they came back with colour, prints and polish. We’ve got Editor in Chief Hannah Almassi, who has wholeheartedly embraced the bright-colour trend—surely the most obvious manifestation of our joy at spring arriving? Or Emma Spedding’s penchant for a statement print…

These 13 Mascaras Are All Under ÂŁ15 and Are Genuinely Amazing

February 12, 2022 at 06:00AM I’m a firm believer that mascara is one of the places in your makeup routine that you absolutely do not need to invest heavily in. Some of the best mascaras I have tried and continue to repurchase have been available on the high street or when I’m doing my food shop. I have long, straight lashes, so I always curl them before applying mascara. I’ve found that the best affordable mascaras will hold the curl all day and won’t droop or crumble off. Of course, no mascara is perfect (except maybe one—we’ll get to that), so below, I’ve noted the pros and any cons with each mascara pick.If you have short or curled lashes, look out for mascaras that have a plastic brush. These seem to work best for lengthening and gripping shorter lashes without leaving an imprint on your lid, a…

The Story Behind J Lo’s Major Wedding Dress Moment in “Marry Me” 

February 11, 2022 at 10:30PM “When you work with somebody who’s at the level of Jennifer, you have to bring your A-game every second of every day,” says Caroline Duncan, the ultra-talented costume designer who kept J.Lo looking fabulous in every frame of her new rom-com “Marry Me.” “She cares so much about the visual, and she has a real feeling for it.” It was a thrill, Duncan tells POPSUGAR, “to collaborate with someone who has such an understanding of fit and storytelling through clothing… Jennifer is an amazing choreographer of all moments.” Duncan was tasked with an interesting challenge when she joined the crew of “Marry Me.” The costume designer, who has worked on productions helmed by Ava DuVernay, M. Night Shyamalan, and Steven Spielberg, to name-drop just a few lines from her impressive resume, was given the ultra-meta job of dressing…

Chloe Bailey and Gunna’s Couple Style Is Already So Good

February 11, 2022 at 09:05PM Are Chloe Bailey and Gunna the next stylish couple to watch? The two first sparked dating rumors a few months ago, when they were spotted courtside in a pair of eye-catching outfits. And while they’ve continued to deny a romantic relationship, they sure looked like a couple on Wednesday. Walking hand in hand with the rapper, Bailey stepped out in a unique outfit styled by William Ylvisaker, which consisted of a high-waisted ripped body-con skirt and a corset top in a graphic print. She tucked the skirt, a custom LVDF piece, into patent-leather boots. For accessories, she wore metallic fingerless gloves and a colorful choker from Seyit Ares, as well as Jack Eller earrings and sunglasses also custom-made by LVDF. Gunna, on the other hand, opted for a monochromatic blue outfit, wearing jeans, a blue-gray shirt, and a…

30 Heart Motif Style Items to Wear (Even After Valentine’s Day)

February 11, 2022 at 08:13PM The heart motif design back, and it isn’t just for Valentine’s Day. Remember the heart-shaped statement earrings and intarsia crewneck sweaters all over Tumbler and MySpace in the 2010s?

Ciara Brings Her Signature High Slit to the NFL Honors

February 11, 2022 at 05:35PM A red carpet veteran, Ciara has constructed a go-to outfit formula over the years, usually involving a dangerously high slit, a plunging neckline, or some kind of cutout. For Thursday night’s NFL Honors in Los Angeles, she chose a Roberto Cavalli spring 2022 runway number featuring all of the above. The V-neck dipped down to the stomach, meeting the top of the thigh-high slit, with draping held together by the designer’s signature gold tiger brooch. Ciara, who recently launched her own luxury fashion brand, paired the revealing dress with Marli New York and Le Vian diamond rings, as well as black stiletto sandals. The singer attended the awards event in support of her her husband, Russell Wilson, who was being honored with the Bart Starr Award. Wilson posed with Ciara in his own all-black suit, wearing a velvet…

A Lover of Themes, Katy Perry Dressed Like a Football at the NFL Honors

February 11, 2022 at 05:20PM Katy Perry loves a theme. Take, for example, her patriotic Inauguration Day outfit or the chandelier she wore to the camp-themed Met Gala, which was followed that same evening by a very detailed, sparkly cheeseburger. So while attending the 2022 NFL Honors on Feb. 10 in Los Angeles ahead of the Super Bowl, Perry dressed like a football, naturally. “Damn should I retire,” Perry wrote in her caption, most likely alluding to Tom Brady’s recent announcement. Styled by Tatiana Waterford, the outfit consisted of a ruched Alex Perry chocolate-brown column dress with matching opera gloves, as well as Messika hoop earrings and a trendy two-stone ring not unlike Megan Fox’s engagement ring. Perry also carried a crystal Judith Leiber football clutch, the same one Ciara brought to the 2021 Met Gala, where she wore a sequined Dundas gown…
