I’m a Fashion Editor—These Are the 6 Print Trends I’m Wearing in 2022

January 06, 2022 at 06:03AM Critics will say that a lot of fashion comes down to reinventing the wheel—that it’s hard to come up with a previously unexplored idea. This, I’ll admit, is true. If there’s anything I’ve learnt in my 11 years as an editor, it’s that fashion is cyclical, and what goes around will eventually come back around. What you can’t predict, however, is how the designers will interpret it when it does make its way on to the style agenda once more.Today, we’re here to talk about the spring/summer 2022 print trends that are already shaping the season ahead. I’ll tell you now these are prints you’ll have seen before. Heck, these are prints that you might find lurking in the depths of your wardrobe. But showcased on the runway in some pretty unexpected ways, suddenly, they feel fresh again.As we hurtle…

How to Look Infinitely Chicer Each Spring Without Spending Any Money

January 06, 2022 at 06:02AM It might be chilly and dark in the morning, but we find ourselves less enamoured with the thought of wearing sweatpants and hoodies—at least, not on a daily basis. So in an attempt to reignite our fashion fires, we’ve started thinking up all the ways we can start making our outfits feel more on-trend and spring-like and, in turn, more joyful. Of course, there’s our big shakedown of spring/summer 2022’s trends you can mull over for high-fashion inspiration, but we’re aware that, before such advanced outfit stages, a few practical, minor tweaks can be made so you feel up to speed. From the achievable level of leg exposure (we don’t think anyone is ready for full thigh in this weather just yet—props to you if that’s the case) to the simple coat switch you can employ for instant warmer-weather power, we’ve…

We Can’t Believe Katie Holmes’s Gorgeous Mango Coat Is on Sale for Under ÂŁ90

January 06, 2022 at 06:01AM Apparently, we’re not the only ones scouring every last page of Mango’s sale. Katie Holmes, who is frequently spotted wearing covetable pieces from the Spanish fashion brand, appears to likewise be knee-deep in the sale. How do we know? The Dawson’s Creek alum was just spotted in New York City wearing a stunning, knee-length coat that just so happens to be included in it. Even better, it's somehow still in stock in selected sizes. Along with a sage-green Chanel crossbody bag and a pair of white-and-blue 327 trainers from New Balance’s ultra-popular collaboration with Staud, Holmes bundled up in an oversize, hunter-green coat, currently priced at just under ÂŁ90 from ÂŁ150.

PSA: COS’s Sellout Crossbody Bag Is Finally Back in Stock

January 06, 2022 at 06:00AM Listen up, everyone. I’ve found the perfect bag. Not only is it ideal for daily life⁠—it fits your wallet, a mask, hand sanitiser and even a bit of makeup⁠—but it’s also great for evenings out. Don’t believe me? Well, the good news is I’ve collected the evidence to prove how versatile and chic this bag actually is. But first, let me give you the details. It’s a black leather crescent-shaped handbag with a thick strap. It’s smooth and pretty featureless, other than a couple of silver belt studs and a well-hidden zip. There’s no denying that it bears more than a resemblance to The Row’s Banana Bag, but it comes at a much more affordable price point. So far, I’ve spotted minimalist queens Marisa Martins and Alexis Foreman wearing this bag. Foreman opted for a tee-and-skirt look with hers, while Martins went for…

Diane Kruger Is No Longer the Ingénue

January 06, 2022 at 05:00AM “I’m really grateful” is something I hear about a dozen times in various forms during my hour-long Zoom call with Diane Kruger—be it for the unexpected opportunity to spend a year at home with her daughter and fiancĂ©, actor Norman Reedus, during lockdown; the honor of having gowns custom-made for her by close friends like Prabal Gurung and the late Karl Lagerfeld; or the chance to work with “really kick-ass women who are all mothers and working and successful at what they do” in her latest project The 355. The female-led action flick—in which she, along with Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Fan Bingbing, and PenĂ©lope Cruz, is put in charge of saving, well, everyone from World War III—is one of six projects in the works for the 45-year-old actress. And if all that (in addition to styling herself into…

This Is How Easy It Is to Style a Gucci Belt

January 06, 2022 at 04:20AM If there’s one brand that has been inescapable over the past few years, it's Gucci. Since 2015, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, the brand has become one of the hottest fashion houses around. Thanks to Alessandro’s exciting and fresh vision, countless other designers and high-street brands have followed the “edgy grandma from the ‘70s” trend. But the real secret of the fashion house’s success lies in its accessibility. While some opt to wear the brand sunglasses to platforms, others dip a toe in with a bag or a pair of shoes. But one of the easiest ways to get the Gucci look? The now-iconic double-G belt.It has a cool but goes-with-everything-in-your-wardrobe appeal that makes it a must for both diehard fashion lovers and your mum. To keep it interesting, the brand has reimagined the GG belts in different ways—from the classic black, brown and white…

Julia Fox Wears a Very Polarizing Trend – Thong Pants – For a Night Out With Kanye West

January 06, 2022 at 03:35AM The internet is buzzing about rumored new couple Kanye West and Julia Fox after the two were spotted on back-to-back dates just a few days into the new year. Most recently, on Tuesday evening, the rapper and actor went to see Slave Play on Broadway and headed to dinner at Carbone afterwards, sparking more chatter about whether the duo were dating. I was admittedly curious as well, but not so much about their relationship status - I was more fascinated by Julia’s date night outfit of choice, which consisted of a lot of Balenciaga and low-rise cutout pants. The Uncut Gems actor was photographed walking with Ye wearing head-to-toe black, including a short-sleeved fitted top with a high neck, leather trench coat, and croc-embossed purse, all from Balenciaga, of course. It goes without saying that Kanye has heavily…
