It manages to feel warm and woody, but it also possesses a creamy richness, which makes it the perfect base note for a wide range of fragrances—not just the sweet, spicy or musky types you might initially assume. Whether you’re already a fiend for sandalwood like us or are new to or unsure of the popular note, we’re going to go ahead and say adding a sandalwood perfume to your winter fragrance wardrobe is one of the best moves you can make this season (especially in the “you smell so good" compliment department). Thanks to its surprising versatility, we’re of the strong belief that the perfect warm and inviting sandalwood perfume exists for anyone who loves…

January 06, 2022 at 06:15AM Balancing form and function over the winter months can be tricky to navigate for fashion lovers, especially when the weather switches from gentle autumnal breezes to harsh Arctic tundra. When temperatures drop below 10°C, you know it’s time to bring out the big guns and get a little smarter with your layering.

Lined winter boots.Edinburgh-based contributor Maxine Eggenberger swears by a shearling lining for keeping toasty in the chilly northern hemisphere. “I stumbled on this cold-weather trick by accident.

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.

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.

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…

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…
