The Boots Important Fashion People Have Been Wearing Forever

January 12, 2022 at 06:02AM Anyone who has ever watched Friends will know that you have to be very careful when investing in a pair of knee-high boots. One wrong move and you can end up like Monica Geller, piggy-backing barefoot after wearing an ill-fitting pair for too long.Most boots look better with heels; however, this means they can result in a lot of hobbling and blisters, dramatically bringing up that cost per wear. Get a new pair of boots right, though, and you can wear them every day and with every outfit (maybe Monica was right about spending a little more on an investment pair). Knee-high boots are a classic that won’t go out of style, so it’s no wonder we continuously spot so many people in the know wearing them in the pre-spring period. On the high street, Arket, Mango and & Other Stories have created some headlining…

I’m 5’2″, and These Are the Only Long Puffer Coats I Would Actually Wear

January 12, 2022 at 06:00AM There are many pros to being a petite woman, but unfortunately, being able to shop with carefree ease is not always one of them. I would know—I’m a 5’2” (at a push) fashion editor. I’ve spent my career styling models in samples that would drag metres on the floor for me, dangling my legs off benches at fashion week and making weekly trips to my local tailor for alterations. AĂŻda wears an Arket puffer.Of course, we muddle our way through, don’t we? And over the years, my fellow petite editors and I have made an effort to record all the helpful insider tips we’ve learned along the way—like how to build a capsule wardrobe of petite staples or where to find the best petite pieces on the high street. Most recently, I’ve been trying to decode some of the biggest trends of the…

20 MATCHESFASHION.COM Buys I’m Bookmarking for 2022

January 12, 2022 at 06:00AM There might not be anything particularly inspiring about the weather right now, but I have to admit that as I’ve been browsing the new-in section of MATCHESFASHION.COM, I can’t help but feel my spirit lift in anticipation of the year ahead. There are a few themes, in particular, that I’ve been keeping an eye out for, some of which are classics that remain on my “forever” shopping list while others are pieces that are designed to add a little oomph to the basics already residing in my wardrobe.First and foremost, I’ll be sticking to investment buys that can be worn now, while the mercury remains around the 8° mark, but will also have the capacity to be updated for spring (and in some cases, summer). A shearling jacket is a definite cold-weather hero that will never not be on my…

Everyone in Hollywood Owns This Wardrobe Basic, and You Should, Too

January 12, 2022 at 05:23AM For the longest time, I didn’t see the point in spending a lot of money on basics, especially jersey staples like T-shirts. I would’ve rather saved up for the latest It dress, arm candy, or shoes, scrimping on the foundation pieces that make a wardrobe more concise and ultimately more expensive looking. But as I’ve gotten older, I want to get more out of the clothes I own, and while the sentiment doesn’t necessarily always apply in the world of fashion, I’ve found that you get what you pay for in terms of basics.Gigi Hadid styles her Wolford bodysuit with a checked shirt and tucked into slouchy jeans. Before lockdown—the first one in 2020—I don’t think I’d ever spent more than ÂŁ20 on a pair of leggings. To be fair, they weren’t as integral to my outfits as they are…

How to Style the Clothes You Already Have

January 11, 2022 at 10:58PM While it’s easy to get hung up on the latest trend or the season’s It bags, style really isn’t something that can be bought. Sure, editors and insiders have their share of chic gear, but the reason why some become icons and inspirations is because of how they put the whole look together.

With that in mind, we’ve zeroed in on ten quick ways to wear your clothes - small ways to tweak your jacket or cuff your jeans that have a major impact on how your whole outfit looks.

Sorry Euphoria, But Kesha Did the Glitter Eye First

January 11, 2022 at 10:22PM It was a simpler time in 2010. Sure, we had swine flu, but the concept of a pandemic like COVID-19 would have seemed like a far fetched reality. And besides, some of us had twee looks to recreate and Tumblr blogs to run. In this pre-Vine era, “Tik Tok” was the name of your favourite Kesha song — not a social media app. Over a decade later (yes, 2010 was 12 years ago), we’ve waved goodbye to skinny jeans and side parts and traded in Gossip Girl for Euphoria. A decidedly darker take on the lives of high school students, the HBO series is back for its highly anticipated second season. Set at a Project X-level house party, the Euphoria girls return to their fullest forms, bringing fashionable chaos to every scene. But as we follow Rue and the students…

Katy Perry Ushers In a New Style Era In a Silicon Dress, Seemingly Covered in Wet Hair

January 11, 2022 at 09:50PM Hair that’s stuck in the shower drain, but make it … sexy? This is the exact description that came to mind upon seeing Katy Perry’s skintight dress in her “When I’m Gone” music video, and before you dismiss shower-drain hair as decidedly unsexy, just hear me out. About 30 seconds into Katy’s latest video, she pops up to crush some dance choreography in a sheer one-shoulder minidress that appears to be covered in soaked strands of hair, somewhat mimicking her own wet hairstyle. There’s no denying Katy looks pretty incredible as she shows off the asymmetrical hemline and figure-hugging fit from all angles - and yes to those knee-high boots! In reality, the dress is actually made of layered stockings - as in elastic hosiery, not the type you hang on your fireplace for Christmas - and silicone…

I Found Modern Versions of Princess Diana’s Classic Looks at Zara

January 11, 2022 at 08:10PM Princess Diana has remained a subject of fascination in fashion circles long after her unfortunate passing, and for good reason. The princess often subverted conventional dressing standards to create refreshingly cool, effortlessly elegant, and head-turning looks whether she was dropping off her sons at school, attending the Met Gala, or posing on the red carpet at a movie premiere. I’d be remiss not to mention her iconic revenge dress, which is forever etched in my mind. The Princess of Wales has given us many fashion moments to live for, so to honor that legacy, I set out to find lookalike or contemporary items inspired by some iconic Diana looks. Zara has several affordable styles you can combine into incredibly chic looks that live up to her sartorial standards. Scroll on for our favorite picks. Related: Kristen Stewart Recounts…
