January 10, 2022 at 06:00AM Cut-outs are a trend I’ve always had time for, particularly if they fall on the waist. For me, that is the part of my body I don’t mind highlighting. However, even I found myself double-taking at the latest peekaboo iteration that’s currently in favour with the fashion set—not in a judgemental way by any means, but more awe-stricken curiosity. I love seeing women dressing for themselves, and this is at the centre of the holes-in-dresses trend that’s everywhere lately. Yes, you read that right—holes in dresses. I’m not talking about small details on a neckline or down the sleeve of a jumper. These are cut-outs you could crawl through. I reiterate, holes. Kai Collective is the brand that has cemented this trend through its Añuli dress and Adanna skirt, both of which have become cult pieces on Instagram and TikTok. So…

January 10, 2022 at 09:00AM If you’ve been scrolling Instagram recently you’ve probably seen some of Raey’s coats already. So many influencers are, understandably, obsessed with theirs right now as we enter into the colder months of winter. But unlike other cult items, these minimalist, oversized wool coats aren’t anything new— and that’s a good thing. They’ve been a hero piece of MatchesFashion’s in-house label’s offering for years now, so you can be sure they’re seriously timeless if you’re considering investing.Made from heavyweight wool in classic colours like black, navy, cream and grey, it’s hardly surprising these beautiful coats are still proving so popular with the coolest girls we know. Classic they may be, but they’re also far from boring— most feature exaggerated fits and androgynous tailoring that gives them an edge over your average wool coat. And it’s these traits that keep them feeling…

January 10, 2022 at 08:00AM We may have to wait a while longer before we can start donning the clothes spring/summer 2022 has to offer (that or risk freezing—winter has just begun after all), but there is one item from the runway that we can start adding to our wardrobes imminently: handbags. Ideal for impatient types, handbags are the easiest way to kick-start your new-season capsule. And seeing as bags were at the bottom of our shopping priorities at the start of 2021, due to the pandemic and spending time indoors, now’s the moment to make up for lost time.Luckily for said impatient types, we’ve discovered that many of the top handbag trends we spotted on the runway are already on the shopping circuit.

January 10, 2022 at 08:00AM Having a hairdresser for a mum has meant that I’ve done just about everything you can think of to my hair. I’ve been platinum blonde, mahogany brown and everything in-between. I’ve framed my face with feathering and had thick fringes cut in. I’ve had hair down to my waist and chopped to my chin. It’s fair to say I was pretty fearless with my hair. That is until I got older.I don’t know why, but for some reason, I’ve defaulted to long-length hair in a creamy hue with lived-in roots. But after witnessing some impressive hair transformations on Instagram of late, I’m finally going to give my ‘do a refresh. And the look I’m toying with is a blunt bob.The blunt bob has undergone a bit of a resurgence as of late. A far cry from the dreaded bowl cut, instead, influencers…
