13 Ways to Make Your Leggings Fancier

January 16, 2022 at 08:00AM Leggings seem to yo-yo in and out of favour within fashion circles, but in 2021, the chicest of dressers are revisiting black leggings. Tight-fitting trousers are rapidly regaining popularity, as many influencers and buyers are wearing skinny jeans and slim-fitting leggings—and not just with slippers for waist-up outfits for Zoom calls. The key to making them feel fresh is to play with proportions and contrast the tightness of the legs with oversized knitwear, huge boots and smart pieces you wouldn’t typically expect to pair well with leggings. Think of black leggings as your base layer. Then, add on either a pair of chunky tread-sole or hiking boots or elegant knee-high leather boots and pile on the expensive-looking knitwear, from zip-front jumpers to camel crew-necks. The key to making leggings look put-together in 2021 is to pay attention to the details. Finish off…

I Tried 60 Samples of Expensive Beauty Products in 30 Days—Here’s What I’d Buy

January 16, 2022 at 06:30AM I should probably start by clarifying: Even pre-COVID, 50% of my job entailed unboxing, testing, reviewing, and re-testing beauty products. This is not a luxury I take lightly, and while it might seem like a mundane task, my fellow beauty editors and I take a lot of pride in our ability to test and provide thoughtful feedback. (We quite literally receive hundreds of packages each month, so you can understand how this makes up a big part of our job!) Some of this feedback is just between the three of us on Slack, some of it goes to a brand’s PR team or even its CEO, and a lot of the time, it comes directly to you!With so many swipes and swatches under my belt, it takes a lot to impress me, and I’ve admitted on more than one occasion that I’ve…

Two Years Later, We’re Still Obsessed By the Chanel Logo Tights

January 16, 2022 at 06:22AM In early March 2020, just weeks before the world went into lockdown, Chanel hosted its autumn 2020 runway show. Pairs of models stormed the runway in knee-high boots, strutting in unison while dressed in shades of tweed with bows in their hair. And while Chanel runways are always much-talked-about events, this season, in particular, one accessory seemed to steal the show. The brand debuted a range of logo-embellished CC tights, which the majority of models were wearing on the day, either in a white or black colourway. And as if by some kind of fashion editor intuition, the moment I saw them I just knew they would become a cult favourite. Unsurprisingly, almost two years, the item remains in high demand, appearing on the Instagram feeds of several high-profile influencers, including Emili Sindlev, Pernille Teisbaek, Bella Thomas, and more. According to British Vogue, the…

5 Winter Trends That Look Perfect With Skinny Jeans

January 16, 2022 at 06:03AM I think it’s safe to say that we no longer need to debate the relevance of skinny jeans in the fashion person's wardrobe. While they might not be the It pair of the moment, the style has transcended trendiness and is simply a staple everyone should (and likely does already) own.That said, when styling your skinnies, at times you might feel like you’re hitting a sartorial wall as far as how forward you can make your outfit feel—and it’s only natural. You may be used to styling them with whatever was popular at the time you bought them or are simply accustomed to pairing them with your favorite basics. However, today I’m here to both tell and show you how you can make your favourite skinny jeans feel brand-new for winter by combining them with some of the season’s biggest trends.From outerwear to footwear, just keep…

34 Simple Spring Pieces Guaranteed to Freshen Up Your Wardrobe

January 16, 2022 at 06:00AM With the change in seasons, inevitably comes a change in how we approach our wardrobes. I, for one, am a particularly seasonal dresser— in winter I’m all about those cosy layers, rich jewel tones and fancy textures. As soon as the sun starts to shine in spring, however, I feel myself getting drawn to light, bright and breezy pieces. My denim choices change from black to blue and my beige blazer is switched in for pastel jackets. Of course, not all change happens instantly, and for now whilst our heads are looking forward to spring but our bodies are still in winter, I find picking one or two fresh pieces and layering them up with a trench or bright jumper does just the trick.The below pieces are some of the most simple but effective throw-on styles that will freshen up your wardrobe instantly and make it…

I Wasn’t a Skirt Person Until I Saw These 17 Styles

January 16, 2022 at 06:00AM There’s aren’t many wardrobe categories that I haven’t plundered over the years. Jackets? The more the merrier. Trousers? I’ll have a pair in every colour, please. But skirts? For some reason they’ve never really piqued my interest. Maybe it was their fussiness that required more thought, whether it was around shoe pairings or seasonally-appropriate lengths. I also like to feel free to move, and in this context, trousers tend to best serve me best.However, something has shifted this season, and the maxi skirts that were sent down the SS22’s runways unexpectedly tugged at my heart strings. They were daring, dramatic and satisfyingly statement making, whether it was via bright prints, high-shine fabrics or unusual cuts. LYST confirms that I’m not the only one loving statement maxi skirts right now: "Short hemlines might be defining the current season, but maxi long lines are coming in hot for the next one. ‘Oversized’ and 'maxi’ are…
