The Fashion Editor’s Secret Weapon for Expensive-Looking High-Street Denim

February 14, 2022 at 06:00AM Fashion editors love their little style secrets, but due to the nature of our jobs, we’re not very good at keeping them. Case in point: Over the last few years, I’ve heard multiple times on the grapevine that high-street stalwart Marks & Spencer is actually a gold mine of premium-feel and (most importantly) well-fitting denim. Indeed, the brand has just dropped an even more comprehensive edit of silhouettes that would tempt even the most denim-phobic individual.From classic straight legs and ‘70s flares to Y2K baggy fits and boot cuts, it’s safe to say that the gang’s all here. Who What Wear’s very own Emily Dawes recently did a story in which she tried on all of the new-in M&S jeans, and we are happy to report that they passed with flying colours. My personal favourite, however, has to…

High-Street Leather Jackets Are Looking So Good RN: Here Are 5 of the Best

February 14, 2022 at 06:00AM If anyone else watches the high-street as closely as I do (anyone? Just me?) they’ll know what I mean when I say that brands have really upped their game when it comes to premium pieces over the last couple of years. A perfect example of this shift is the sheer number of elevated leather jackets that have flooded the high-street this season. While there will always be a market for more affordable pieces, it’s great to see brands offer-up higher-quality alternatives, especially in hard-wearing fabrics. Only last week I tried on this leather shacket from Whistles and I honestly couldn’t believe it was from a high-street brand—it could so easily be mistaken for a designer buy. Plenty of other brands have got in on the action, and we’ve seen our readers snap up premium leather pieces from the likes of H&M and & Other Stories. Yes,…

Mary J. Blige’s Mirrored Thigh-High Boots Just Won the Super Bowl

February 14, 2022 at 02:30AM Mary J. Blige outshined the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday during a star-studded performance at the 2022 Super Bowl in Inglewood, CA. As the Cincinnati Bengals and LA Rams took a moment to regroup during halftime, Blige, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg hit the field for a history-making halftime show that left fans shouting for more. While belting out a medley of hip-hop hits, Blige sparkled from head to toe in a custom white Peter Dundas outfit covered in a shimmering leopard-print design. Commanding the stage, Blige wore a long-sleeve crop-top with lace-up detailing across her midriff and a matching boy short that was just inches from syncing up with her Dundas by Sergio Rossi thigh-high boots. Complete with a custom fedora, the entire outfit was embellished in silver leopard-patterned mirrors, Swarovski crystals, and pearl…

Jhene Aiko Nails Her Super Bowl Debut in a Sequin, High-Slit Gown

February 14, 2022 at 12:15AM JhenĂ© Aiko nailed the challenge of her Super Bowl performance debut, as she blew fans away with her impressive vocals on Sunday. The singer looked as incredible as she sounded in a floor-sweeping, burgundy sequin gown featuring an alluring high slit. Adding her own flair to the iconic song “America The Beautiful,” Aiko commanded the audience with her red carpet worthy look as she recited the lyrics written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1895, set to music by Samuel A. Ward. The formfitting ensemble included long sleeves and a gathered neck, with a floor-length hem that pooled elegantly at her feet. Equally as stunning was the jewelry that accessorized her left ear, which she put on full display as the 33-year-old singer kept her hair tucked behind it. If Aiko was nervous about the performance, she certainly did…

Trust Us—If You Only Get One Haircut This Year, Get This One

February 13, 2022 at 08:00AM When the now-popular shag haircut started garnering attention towards the end of 2020, we knew it would be the sort of hairstyle that would stick around. You see, over the past couple of years, how we approach our hair has totally changed. For starters, we want our hairstyle of choice to be as effortlessly wearable as possible. Pre-2020, we were used to reaching for heat-styling tools every single day, nowadays, we’re feeling much more comfortable simply embracing our natural texture. On top of this, we’re also leaning towards styles that don’t require regular salon appointments. After spending the best part of a year unable to get salons, it’s safe to say we’re appreciating low-maintenance styles more than ever. And it is for those two reasons that the shag was bound to become a go-to style.Supermodel Julia Stegner’s long shag haircut is…

11 Reasons Victoria Beckham Looks So Amazing at 47

February 13, 2022 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…
