January 14, 2022 at 06:30AM If you’re not overly familiar with Dyson haircare, let me offer you a brief overview. Back in 2016, the brand, previously known for crafting high-end vacuum cleaners, hand driers, and fans, launched into beauty with the Supersonic Hair Dryer (£300). It promised intense power with minimal noise and, most importantly, minimal heat damage. Then, two years later in 2018, it released potentially one of the most innovative hair tools that the industry had ever seen: the Airwrap (£450), a multi-use tool (again with minimal heat) that offers a full blow-dry experience at home by utilising an air-flow Coanda effect for bouncy curls. In short, Dyson’s track record means that when the brand talks we listen. A small caveat, however, is that Dyson haircare products are exceptionally expensive. The Supersonic will set you back a cool £300, while the Airwrap varies in price from £400 to £450, depending…

January 14, 2022 at 06:03AM When it comes to adding new items to our wardrobe, none go through the same level of scrutiny that we put coats through. We want them to be versatile, look good,feelgood and elevate whatever we choose to wear underneath. That’s a lot. Throw adhering to a budget into the mix, and it might sound like you’re setting yourself up for failure—that it would be impossible to find a coat that ticks all of these boxes. Thankfully, I’ve always liked a challenge. Call it stubbornness or overconfidence, but I was sure I could find at last a handful of coats that fit the above brief—and, when I put my mind to it, I found 24 of them, which I’ve outlined for you below. My edit features coats that understood the assignment. Chic without being bank account–busting, every coat you see…

January 14, 2022 at 06:00AM There’s something so satisfying about when a true wardrobe classic is heralded a ‘trend’ on any given season. This essentially means that the item is, most likely, already sitting in your wardrobe and that its renewed energy will yield plenty of fresh outfit inspiration for the year ahead. This season, this has manifested in the humble Breton knit. Embraced by the likes of Celine and Toteme, the Breton 2.0 is defined by its stunning simplicity: The timeless cream, white and navy colourways, the lack of adornment, and the clean silhouettes that are usually reserved for menswear. Naturally, the high-street has followed suit, with Arket, & Other Stories and COS all offering up striped styles that have garnered their own cult following. In Lyst’s 2021 Year in Fashion Report, & Other Stories’s sellout striped knit was even highlighted as one of the year’s 'most wanted products’. “Searches similar to the retailer’s minimalist-leaning striped…

January 14, 2022 at 06:00AM A few weeks ago, I spent a very long weekend in Paris, which is one of my all-time favourite cities! As you can imagine, my trip was spent eating my way through the city, but I also spent a lot of time exploring the French pharmacies. While I'm fortunate enough to write about beauty on a weekly basis, I still somehow never get bored of discovering new products, and that’s exactly what I set out to do in my time in France.While rummaging through the pharmacy shelves, I found many products that I had heard of before and that are currently available in the UK, such as La Roche-Posay and Caudalie. But I also discovered several less familiar brands, including Horace, a Parisian natural skincare and grooming brand for men, and Rouje, a chic Parisian fashion and beauty brand that I’d seen all over Instagram but never in real…

January 14, 2022 at 05:57AM When it comes to ‘80s fashion, we have a (surprising) amount to be thankful for. While the decade previously hadn’t influenced our wardrobes for a long time, in recent years, we’ve come to the realisation that all the most current trends today are courtesy of the '80s. Now, if you’re not too familiar with the nuances of this era, there are a few standout looks we’re sure you’ll recognise: big shoulders, white jeans, underwear as outerwear and oversize jewellery. It was the decade of the power dresser but also of punks. It gave us Madonna, Sade, Tina Turner and Cher, plus numerous other superstars whose sense of style influences many right now.Don’t believe us? From the fact that Princess Diana’s archive is inspiring some of the world’s most influential designers to the more basic resurgence in women wearing blazers with…

January 14, 2022 at 05:00AM Ahhh, that January lull— you’ve probably watched most of Netflix by now, caught up with all your favourite Who What Wear articles and indulged in a little sale shopping— right? If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably also spent more time in pyjamas and loungewear than not over the past few weeks and the idea of getting dressed again in real clothes has become a little daunting. So, while we all have time to take a little breather, we thought we’d use it to search for some fresh outfit inspiration for us all. Yes, we may still be in the depths of winter but we’re all a bit bored of cold-weather dressing now aren’t we? Our coat and knit collections have been updated, and as 2022 dawns it can’t hurt to look forward to the new season ahead. And by the looks of…
