It’s Official—These Are H&M’s Best-Selling Items of 2021

December 28, 2021 at 05:00AM If you weren’t already an avid H&M shopper before 2021, chances are high that you probably are by now. Despite an increasingly difficult market to succeed in, the high-street mega-brand has only gone from strength to strength this year, continually wooing us all with affordable basics, statement sellouts, conscious collections and, of course, all those collaborations. The design team seems to have a knack for nailing exactly what we want to be wearing, and so, unsurprisingly, the brand is consistently one of the top-selling on Who What Wear UK. Of course, some items are more popular than others, and given we’re always nosy about what other people are buying, we thought you might also like a sneak peek into what H&M’s actual best sellers were in 2021. As it turns out, you’re all as mad about expensive-looking basics as we are. Most of the…

BTS’s LA Fashion Is a Reminder That They’re the Best Dressed Celebs on the Planet

December 27, 2021 at 11:30PM Wherever BTS goes, they will leave a trail of broken records and sold-out fashion items in their wake. It’s inevitable: just look at the frenzy that followed the idols from Seoul as they traveled to America for their record-breaking mini-tour Permission to Dance in LA. When the confetti settled, the global superstars had sold 214,000 tickets, earning $33.3 million for the four-night run, and injecting an estimated $100+ million into the Los Angeles economy (thanks to their legion of fans, ARMY, flocking to the city from all corners of the world). And they looked fly as hell doing it. From award shows to performances to (well-deserved) days off, Bangtan’s brief Los Angeles residency was a parade of sartorial serves. Let’s relive that glorious LA run and the pure fashion bliss BTS gifted us. Continue Reading… Author Katie Donbavand…

How Many Bags Could Emily Have Possibly Bought in Paris? Anyway, I Want Them All

December 27, 2021 at 09:10PM The handbags in Netflix’s Emily in Paris season two are certainly not for the faint of heart. Fashion know-it-alls might be surprised to spot even more designer purses than they did in season one, according to costume designer Marylin Fitoussi, who consults the renowned Patricia Field on the show’s wardrobe. “Many brands were responding in a very enthusiastic way to working with us and collaborating with us on this project. That was absolutely not happening in season one. So, we received a lot of things that we never had, like handbags. Everybody wanted to have their handbags showing in season two,” Marylin told POPSUGAR. Among the luxury fashion house staples, such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Dolce & Gabbana, Marylin was also sure to include many smaller Parisian brands. “[Field] gave me carte blanche - complete and total…

Zara Is Absolutely Nailing These 7 Trends Right Now

December 27, 2021 at 08:02PM There may be other places we turn to for investment buys and extra special pieces, but for of-the-moment trends and instant wardrobe refreshes, it has to be Zara. Don’t ask us how, but they always seem to be ahead of the season’s biggest trends which is impressive and honestly unusual for a high street brand. It’s part of the reason we (and you) love it so much. Right now, there’s endless pieces on Zara we’ve got our eyes on (if you saw our basket, it would almost be embarrassing), but out of all of it there’s 7 trends we’ve noticed them doing *particularly* well. This should help us whittle down our shopping lists to the best of the best. And considering they’re also some of the biggest trends going into spring 2022, the list below can help prepare your wardrobes in the best way…

My Favorite Zara Jeans Are on Sale Right Now – Grab Them While You Still Can

December 27, 2021 at 08:30PM If there’s one article of clothing that will always be in style no matter what, it’s a great pair of jeans. The right denim can make or break any outfit, which is why finding the perfect pair is so important. I used to think that a great pair of jeans had to come with a hefty price tag, but I recently learned that definitely is not the case. A few years ago, I discovered a pair of Zara jeans I became absolutely obsessed with, and I loved them so much I ended up purchasing them in 3 different washes. While I used to only visit Zara for trendy pieces and the occasional blazer, the brand quickly became my go-to shop for quality denim at an affordable price. I recently discovered a new style that I’ve been wearing nonstop:…

According to Insecure’s Costume Designer, “Where’s Molly’s Top From?” Was the Pregunta of the Night

December 27, 2021 at 07:37PM If you were watching Insecure’s finale on Sunday night wondering if (hoping?!) Issa and Lawrence would end up together, you obviously weren’t alone; but if the other big pregunta on your mind was where Molly’s insane cutout top was from, you definitely weren’t the only one. According to costume designer Shiona Turini’s IGS, that was the question she got asked the most following the final show, because between the drama and the romance, we were admittedly distracted by this bit of sexy fashion. When the crew threw Issa a surprise birthday party in the last episode, it was a veritable buffet of standout looks with Issa in a khaki minidress, Kelli in a printed blazer, and Quoia in a shimmering layered look; but it was a full stop when we saw Molly in a long-sleeved black top with…

Everything They Wore on Insecure’s Final Season

December 27, 2021 at 06:45PM With a first look at Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany’s outfits at their college reunion in episode one, Insecure’s fifth season would also be a fashion finale with a tour de force of looks. We were treated to a glimpse of the girls’ easy takes on denim, a sporty tracksuit and fresh plaid for Issa, and a memorable scene with Molly’s Amina Muaddi heels right off the bat, putting style front and center in their story. These covetable yet relatable looks are another testament to the expertise of costume designer Shiona Turini, who took the helm of the show’s wardrobe again for the last season. Between the Nathan-or-Lawrence drama, Shiona’s high-low wardrobing was a constant, balancing emerging labels and vintage items with favorites like Telfar. And, while Insecure has always made style a central theme; we venture to…

Insecure: Molly’s Wedding Was a Celebration of New Beginnings and Oscar de la Renta

December 27, 2021 at 05:33PM The epitome of growth. On Dec. 26, Insecure wrapped up its fifth and final season, giving fans closure and characters happy endings in a string of flash-forwards. While the show has been centered around Issa Dee (Issa Rae), it’s her group of girls and their professional and personal plot lines that have kept us locked in since 2015, which is why it was so important for the finale to touch on each of them. But we’re here to talk about Molly (Yvonne Orji) and Taurean (Leonard Robinson) and their beautiful love story that was complete with a stunning Oscar de la Renta wedding dress. Fans were ecstatic to see Molly and Taurean tie the knot in a gorgeous European ceremony accompanied by bridesmaids in red dresses, a tear-jerking father-daughter dance, and a beautiful tribute to Molly’s late mother.…

We Like the Things Gabrielle Union Keeps in Mind When Buying a Bikini

December 27, 2021 at 04:23PM Gabrielle Union-Wade celebrated the end of the holiday season (and the entry into the new year) sitting poolside in a purple drawstring bikini by Andrea Iyamah. The glow of the sunset in the distance might have been one factor that led us to stop in our tracks, but the design detail is also pretty extraordinary. Featuring a striking cut that frames the bust with underwire and also gives way to ruched cap sleeves, the crop top is immaculate, while the bottom is gathered at the center and comes in a flattering high-rise silhouette. It’s no surprise we noticed - Nigerian designer Andrea Dumebi Iyamah, who is also famous for her striking resort wear, has been churning out pieces that celebrate her African heritage and her own contemporary take on femininity since 2011. You’d be hard-pressed to find a…
