February 04, 2022 at 06:00AM The last five or so years have seen midis dominate the skirt stakes, manifesting in everything from slinky, ‘90s-inspired slips (remember that sellout Topshop style?) to form-fitted knitted styles (#lockdownlife), but 2022 is set to bring a more eclectic selection of skirt silhouettes to the fore, and we couldn’t be more excited. The S/S 22 runways were awash with a plethora of skirt trends: Nanushka experimented with a throwback maxi-skirt-over-trousers pairing, while Miu Miu opted for preppier pleats that had a definitive school-days spin.Of course, we also have to acknowledge the storming return of the miniskirt, with Prada sending out silken minis styled with oversized leather biker jackets and COS adding an edge to its black minis with knee-high boots. There’s also a generous offering of statement fabrics to balance out the minimalist offering, and we can’t stop thinking about the high-shine vinyl of Gucci’s new-season kilt and the pea-green hues…

February 04, 2022 at 06:01AM Not a fan of colour? Be prepared to be converted. If Zara has its way, we will all be adorned in every vibrant, punchy shade the rainbow has to offer. And we’re here for it. What better way to step into the new season than wearing joyful colours that are bound to give you a confidence boost as soon as you put them on? Sure, the minimalists out there may be shocked and alarmed at the idea of zesty orange, punchy pink and all shades of highlighter greens, but we have something for you, too. Every piece in all its colourful joy is sleek, fuss-free and a twist on a classic. So these colour trends are not as in-your-face as you may think on first inspection.We’re talking colour-block minidresses that’ll look effortless teamed with buttery cream and tan, bright wide-leg trousers…

February 04, 2022 at 06:00AM I love trying new beauty products. What a surprise, right? But after nearly a decade testing pretty much every new launch, I do sometimes get a bit disillusioned by newness. When you receive information about a “never before seen” product range every week, you truly wonder how much newness could possibly exist under the sun, but every now and again, I’m wowed by a delivery enough to rave about it to anyone who’ll listen. This year, there are already a few launches that have caught my eye across the beauty spectrum, from bodycare to makeup, and the price spectrum, too.Wearing Exa foundation, Saie Dew Blush in Dreamy, Saie Glowy Super Gel in Starglow and the About-Face Light Lock Lip Gloss in Such Great Heights.From blushes that give the perfect flush to body oil that cocoons dry skin, these are the…

February 04, 2022 at 05:00AM We don’t really know what we’d do without H&M. It’s one of those high street heroes you can always rely on to come through for you— whatever you’re looking for. From expensive-looking coats to work-appropriate wide-leg trousers, everyday basics and even homeware. And while we often spend a lot of time here highlighting the trendiest H&M items: like the latest designer collaboration or cult pieces, today we’re here to focus on the more versatile basics that have just landed on site. They’ve still got H&M’s stylish mark, of course, but also that particular wardrobe staple quality that means they’ll fit into your favourite outfit formulas effortlessly. There’s A+ items like classic denim cuts that could be dressed up or down and easy-to-style knits, perfect for layering right now. There’s also expensive-looking finds like slouchy blazers (similar to the one pictured above) that can elevate an outfit on…
