January 19, 2022 at 08:00AM My friend Shayna Kossove is 42. She is also my colleague at Who What Wear, meaning I see her a lot and have plenty of opportunities to gaze upon her surprisingly, confusingly youthful visage. As two of the company’s veteran employees, we’ve worked together for almost eight years, and I promise I am not exaggerating when I say she looks exactly the same as when I started at the company. It is confounding. There’s a general consensus among the editors that Shayna looks 10-plus years younger than she is. Naturally, I needed to know what beauty witchcraft was going on, so I decided to get her exact anti-ageing skincare routine and copy it—and copy it and copy it—until I, too, would begin to age in reverse. I stuck with it for five months, and it worked. Here’s an in-depth look at her fountain-of-youth routine,…

January 19, 2022 at 08:00AM In recent years, it was typical to see leggings paired with sneakers or a pair of slide sandals from time to time, but that’s about it. This winter, celebrities have been wearing them outside of the gym a lot more than usual, even dressing them up with chic outerwear and jewellery. And the particular shoe style that’s most often worn with jeans this time of year? Ankle boots.Yes, you read correctly—leather ankle boots (and not just Uggs) have made their way back into celebrities’ legging outfits, many of which have heels. We’ll admit that they look very, very chic. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and black suede ankle boots. Want to see more proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and–ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit (and shop stylish leggings and ankle boots, of course).On Jennifer…

January 19, 2022 at 07:00AM Whistles knows a thing or two about elevated yet accessible fashion. As one of the longest standing high-street brands (46 years to date), it has managed to establish itself as a go-to for stylish wardrobe staples that feel a little more premium than your average high-street buy. And this was long before the likes of Arket and COS. Well, this week, I stumbled across a dreamy jacket that proves Whistles' enduring appeal remains as strong as ever.With a bonded shearling collar, boxy leather fit and zip-up fastening, I was instantly drawn to the jacket's premium aesthetic. Then, when it came to seeing it IRL, my suspicions were confirmed—it truly rivalled many of the designer leather jackets I have tried on in the past. For reference, I’m wearing a small here (I’m a UK 8-10) and I found the fit just the right amount of oversized. Yes, I acknowledge that £449 is not…

January 19, 2022 at 06:30AM I'm not sure about you, but after going without hair cuts and colour for a big chunk of last year, ever since salons reopened, I have been feeling somewhat overwhelmed in the run up to my hair appointments. Should I go for a full-on transformation and get my hair chopped into short bob or embrace my current long hairstyle and add a fringe?

January 19, 2022 at 06:00AM It’s that time of year again: February is just around the corner and we're gazing into our fashion crystal ball to see what the year ahead has in store for us (if you haven’t seen our SS22 report yet, check it out it here). As always, I’m here to bring you a vintage-alternative shopping guide to the season’s hottest looks, particularly the styles that lend themselves to the second-hand format. Essentially, I’ve done all the hard work for you—you’re very welcome. For SS22 I was totally spoilt for choice in the vintage department—it always helps that so many of the season’s key looks have strong throwback references. We’re talking dramatic, oversized blazers (top tip: check the men’s department), ankle-grazing hemlines, Y2K styling and a good dose of designer logos. I mean, why buy a new version of a trend when you can have the one-of-a-kind original? These days there are…

January 19, 2022 at 06:04AM Some people love the cold; others would prefer to live in perpetual heat. Me? I’m somewhere in the middle, in that I like dressing for the cold, but as for being cold? I hate it. That’s why I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to style myself through the winter months. With a few months of the season still ahead of us, I thought a fresh dose of winter outfit inspiration was something we could all do with right about now. So, I set off on a quest to find some elevated examples. What I didn’t expect to stumble across were the six trends that, try as I may, just kept cropping up. I dove deep into an Instagram hole, scouring the platforms of the most stylish dressers I know. When I came up for air, a handful of very specific winter outfit…

January 19, 2022 at 06:00AM As fashion editors we can be guilty of neglecting the ‘sensible’ foundations of our wardrobe, and dedicating our attention (and spending money) towards more exciting purchases, such as dresses for weddings or party shoes. However every now and then our collection of staples deserves a little TLC too, whether that’s a new pair of leggings or loungewear that we will actually be excited to wear.  The thing about basics is that even though they might be simple and practical, you need to pay extra attention to the design and detailing to ensure they will last and elevate your outfits. A poorly fitting T-shirt or sagging pair of leggings can really change the whole vibe of an outfit, and so can require an extra attention to detail.Gilly Hicks is a brand that focuses on underwear, loungewear and activewear, and sits alongside the loved American brand Hollister.

January 19, 2022 at 05:56AM Jessica Skye wears a double-breasted cream Zara blazer. You don’t need to be a shopping editor to know that certain high-street stores do certain items best. Personally, I find Mango always has the strongest coats. Arket is where I automatically head to stock up on knitwear, and & Other Stories dresses are easily my favourite. As for Zara? While I could talk at length about its excellent shoe selection and could-be-designer arm candy, there’s another piece for which the brand is known: blazers. Hannah Crosskey wears a navy-and-red checked Zara blazer. It’s almost impossible to think of a time when blazers didn’t dominate my wardrobe. Sure, I’d worn them at school. (I was probably one of the only students who dutifully did so and, dare I say, enjoyed it.) However, after leaving high school and enrolling at art school, they served no purpose in my closet.…
