January 03, 2022 at 06:00AM I know the whole ‘new year, new me’ thing is a cliché, but when it comes to my wardrobe I’ve been really feeling the urge to give it a good old cleanse lately. Since that feeling coincided with the start of a new year, I thought it was the perfect excuse to step back and take stock of what I really wear, and what pieces are just gathering dust. It may have something to do with the fact that I recently turned 30 and moved house, but it’s also become obvious (since working from home more regularly) that I don’t wear half my clothes anymore. So a tighter capsule edit of perfect pieces is going to clear some much needed storage space and make getting dressed in the mornings a lot easier.And I know I’m not alone in this— every…

January 03, 2022 at 05:45AM Don’t panic! We’re not about to sit here and tell you to throw out your beloved cropped straight-leg jeans, or that skinny jeans are over. Because first and foremost denim, whatever form it comes in, is a classic. Certain shapes shift up and down fashion’s most-wanted list— but then they come back around again before you know it. That’s why it pays to invest in the shapes and brands that work for you and your body, and always keep hold of the styles you love, no matter what’s ‘in’ right now.That doesn’t mean, of course, that denim trends don’t exist. Each year brings with it some sort of newness, whether that’s subtle updates to a classic jean shape, the return of an old cut, or the introduction of a whole new fit. So while we’ll definitely still be wearing our…

January 03, 2022 at 05:03AM Of all the questions that I’m asked as a beauty editor, how to actually get rid of dark circles has to be up there as one of the most widespread enquiries. Dark circles are all-inclusive when it comes to who they target, from my teenage sister whose laid-back approach to studying often results in all-nighters spent at the library to my friend who has forgotten what sleep is since becoming a mum of three.Luckily, there are things that you can do to combat dark under-eye circles if they are bothering you—and one of the simplest places to start is with a decent eye cream.Kate Kerr, skin expert and director of the Kate Kerr London Clinic, told me that there are two main ingredients to look out for when selecting the best eye cream for dark circles: “L-ascorbic acid, a potent form…

January 03, 2022 at 05:00AM There’s nothing like finding a really expensive-looking piece of clothing and discovering it’s actually affordable, is there? As editors we do a lot of scrolling to pull research for our Who What Wear articles, and we’re used to seeing beautiful outfits from influencers and fashion people. But so often they’re made up of seriously high end designer pieces that most of us would probably have to spend a long time saving up for. We’re all for investing in quality over quantity, but when we do come across an amazingly chic outfit that turns out to be from the high street— you can imagine our excitement.  Jessica wears H&M co-ord.By now we’ve managed to work out some common threads between these expensive-looking outfits. Whether that’s the brands that pop up the most, or the specific styles the high street seems to be able to do best. So,…

January 03, 2022 at 05:00AM I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I have a thing for shoes. Out of everything I end up purchasing in my closet, shoes always win out as one of the pieces I’ll splurge on—perhaps matched only my bags. I see them as a true staple that get so much wear and can really transform an outfit. In fact, I count some of my designer shoe buys—including a pair of two-tone Chanel slingbacks—among my best purchases of all time.Over the last couple of years, I’ve practically been living in slippers and trainers but I’m very ready to break that habit now that my calendar is filling up with events, so I’m eyeing all of the best designer It-shoes on the market. It’s no surprise that fashion insiders are already wearing some of the most in-demand styles and I’m…

January 02, 2022 at 05:00AM If 2020 was the year of tracksuits, 2021 was the year of the knitted dress. Which feels like a natural progression, when you think about it. The jumper-dress was a way for us to feel put-together without losing that comfort factor we’d grown so used to; a way for us to cautiously reacquaint ourselves with our sense of style. Some of us were already fans and got the chance to show off our old favourites, while some of us have only recently discovered the joys of this chic but cosy piece. The same approach was taken to shoes— 2020 called for slippers but 2021 gave us opportunities to bring out those boots again, especially for all those walks. It was fateful, then, that the jumper-dress-and-boot combo became one of the fashion world's most popular outfits. Everyone from celebs and influencers to editors embraced this easy outfit choice and…

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM Leave it to Katie Holmes—the actress who single-handedly blew up the internet when she wore a cashmere cardigan–and-bralette duo from Khaite with vintage denim back in 2019—to debut the finest knit-and-jeans combo of the year thus far. On Monday, Holmes was spotted in New York City wearing what can only be described as my ideal fall look: a white T-shirt, Western boots, a cashmere cardigan and a pair of high-rise jeans that fit just right. Like so many of the Dawson’s Creek alum’s outfits, the look was casual and elevated at the same time, which I can tell you from experience is easier said than done. The real winners from Holmes’s outfit are her jeans (which are mid-wash and straight-leg) and her cardigan (a pink-and-gray knit by Kate Spade New York that is somehow still in stock). Called the Colorblock Cashmere Gallery Cardigan, the two-tone sweater costs £295 and comes in a total…
