January 07, 2022 at 06:30AM Throughout my many years as a beauty editor, I have asked hundreds, if not thousands, of people what perfume they are wearing. I pride myself on being able to sniff out specific perfumes from across the room. The first time I ever stepped foot in the Who What Wear offices, the aroma of Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche filled the air. The person who sat next to me in a restaurant last week wore Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt. The mum of two that I sit opposite on the train most days is a big fan of both Marc Jacobs Daisy and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium. It is because of this slightly odd talent we beauty editors have that our perfume collections comprise mostly of under-the-radar scents. We all get a quiet kick out of knowing that our fragrance choices could…

January 07, 2022 at 06:28AM It can’t just be me—I had to do a double take when I saw these H&M finds because they’re just so stunning. Perusing the site’s new arrivals is a weekly activity of mine, and on my latest visit, I came across more than a few finds that actually stopped me dead in my scrolling tracks. While most of these pieces fall under the £150 mark, I wouldn’t blame you for assuming otherwise.As a fashion editor, I have a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details, and since I’m always looking at designer clothing, I can easily spot those luxe details elsewhere. And the H&M pieces you’re about to see below immediately reminded me of something I would see on a luxury retailer, whether it’s a buttery-yellow sweater or a pair of polished knee-high boots.To see them for yourself and shop all of the expensive-looking items in…

January 07, 2022 at 06:06AM If I can make it through the whole year without having to wear tights, I’m happy. I’m sure I’m not alone in struggling to find the right pair, be it through fit, feel, colour or look. It’s no mean feat to find the perfect hosiery, and I often think it can ruin the vibe of a great dress or skirt if you don’t get it right. My struggle with liking tights also comes from having to hoist them up to fix baggy knees, a low crotch or, worse, holes in the toe. So you can imagine my surprise when I started seeing tights on Instagram that I actually liked and more so wanted to wear. That’s right—I may have just told you all the reasons I’m not their number one fan, but I’m willing to give them a chance this…

January 07, 2022 at 06:03AM I am always open to discussing French style at length, but in the interest of keeping things on track, let’s cut to the chase: French women love wearing loafers. I see it on my feed every day. It’s also evident in real life, should you find yourself on the streets of Paris any time soon. However, I didn’t quite realise just how much they loved wearing them until recently. Having bought a fresh pair of loafers myself, I was looking for inspiration to style them—cue my favourite françaises, all of whom seem to know exactly how to wear their classic loafers chicly. Like the rest of us, French women rely on basics to help elevate their looks and give them timeless appeal, so naturally, jeans are a recurring them when it comes to styling their loafers. Other Gallic girls are serving up combinations involving…

January 07, 2022 at 06:02AM There are certain things that universally signify spring—flowers popping up in the parks, getting ready to order your first Pimm’s, and the fact that it’s lighter in the evenings. However, to us fashion types, nothing feels quite so spring-like as stepping out in a gorgeous dress (without the need for tights). And right now, while we’re still firmly in winter, we’re noticing specific dress trends emerge as new-season offerings start to drop in. Below, I’ve listed the eight dress trends that I think you’ll see for spring through to summer in 2022. Long-sleeve, denim and knitted dresses are perfect for the next few months of daily walks, while the bright-pink dresses and fun minis I’ve found below have rescheduled weddings written all over them.I’ve been sure to include a mix of classic, basic styles and more fashion-forward silhouettes and bolder options for those who want to just have…

January 07, 2022 at 06:01AM Building a winter wedding outfit is a process rife with problems. You want to be warm, but you don’t want to feel so bundled up that you can’t show off your outfit. Then there’s the issue of accidentally wearing all black and looking rather sombre for a lovely occasion. Indeed, it’s a sartorial minefield. But fear not, as there is no shortage of solutions to the cold-weather outfit dilemma. I’ve worked tirelessly to hunt down a few looks that are super easy to copy and will work for not only someone’s chilly nuptials but also any other occasion you might have coming up that you want to dress up for. And yes, they just might help you get some use out of pieces you already own. What can I say? I’ve always been partial to a bit of multitasking.Keep scrolling to unlock the winter wedding…

January 07, 2022 at 06:00AM The intricacies of French fashion are well documented, as are the style inclinations of both Londoners and New Yorkers. But the Scandi set? They’re a new entry to the line-up. And it’s fair to say that they’ve already made their mark on the fashion landscape. It comes as no surprise, then, that & Other Stories has picked Stockholm as its main source of inspiration for its first collection of 2022.Described as “fluid silhouettes and tactile textures in a warming palette of earthy hues,” this collection is the epitome of the particularly Scandi brand of elevated eclecticism that has proliferated in the last five years. We’re talking fuzzy knits paired with immaculately tailored trousers and pops of colour via vibrant accessories and statement coats. It’s essentially a ready-made capsule made up of hero pieces that are anything but boring.At…

January 07, 2022 at 04:00AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweep over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenberg. Also, during this period, mass-market, trend-driven fashion was more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques such as Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their looks more readily, which likely led…
