December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM I wouldn’t say that Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have similar personal styles. The latter’s tends to be much more bold and experimental. But here they are wearing identical outfit formulas in the same week in the same city. Who would have thought? They were both photographed in Los Angeles wearing black turtleneck sweaters, flared jeans and top-handle bags. Are you taking notes yet?Flared jeans happen to be one of my favourite denim trends right now—one that I’m willing to swap out my beloved skinny jeans for. In my opinion, they’re so much dressier than skinnies and help you look instantly polished. Scroll down to see how both well-dressed women style the same outfit combo and to shop similar pieces for yourself. On Jennifer Lopez: Hermès Birkin bagJen and Ben are still going strong. On Jennifer Aniston: Oliver Peoples Nisen Glasses (£297); Wolford turtleneck; Nili Lotan Oakland…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in rainy Wolverhampton today for a series of engagements and proved, yet again, that denim is not the only way to pull together an easy, chic outfit. Wearing a look that was very reminiscent of a navy ensemble she chose on a royal tour last year (more on those looks below) she assembled a fitted coat over a polka-dot, contrast-collar blouse and with a trouser style that is fast becoming her signature: tailored flares.On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch Silk Satin Polka Dot Blouse; Jigsaw trousers. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her wide-leg trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM The moment I saw Who What Wear's Emma Spedding in Marks and Spencer’s cleated black boots, I knew that she had stumbled across a real high-street gem. Coming in this season’s trending chunky-sole-meets-knee-high silhouette, the boots give designer iterations a real run for their money. It was then that I started to spot similar styles across the board, but there were two other pairs, in particular, that caught my eye: one from Arket and the other from H&M. Spedding wearing Marks and Spencer Chunky Cleated Knee High Boots (£50).All coming in black and with comfy flat soles, they instantly sparked inspiration for my autumn outfits. While the style looks undeniably cool with Emma’s pink minidress, I can imagine all three looking so chic with black leggings and a belted oversized blazer. They would also pair nicely with a longer dress, perhaps in a knitted fabric. After all, this boot style is ideal…

December 26, 2021 at 08:00AM Why is it that we’re surprised by the arrival of winter every year? I mean, the sudden drop in temperature around November time is as predictable as Anna Wintour wearing sunglasses on the FROW, yet we exclaim at its coming all the same. If you’re like me, what typically ensues is a last-minute scrabble to find the winter coats that have lain dormant in your wardrobe for the last nine months and a hurried reacquainting with the art of layering. Well, as always, we’re here to give you a helping hand in the fashion department. Our first port of call? Winter basics.We all know that staples are an important part of a wardrobe, yet we find that during the colder months, having your foundations in place is more important than ever. It’s all about simple pairings: a chunky knit and straight-leg…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Working at a fashion website has its benefits. We spend day in, day out inspecting the collections and trawling the internet for the items that are absolutely worth sharing with you. As you know, if you’re a regular reader, we try to cover a range across prices and brands—that might include picks from the high street we’ve seen our fellow fashion editors and influencers loving, investment buys that are truly worth your hard-earned cash or impressive lesser-known pieces from smaller independent brands we keep our eyes out for. The positive of this is we have a very good idea of what is going to work the hardest in a wardrobe. With budgets more considered and trends less predominant these days, finding those useful hero pieces is more important than ever. The collateral of this situation is that, as you can imagine, we end…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Often, the “celebrities, they’re just like us” adage applies to what they wear, especially when it comes to shoes. They love a good pair of walkable, versatile shoes… just like the rest of us. And since winter has hit pretty hard, even the L.A.-based celebrities have been forced to ditch their Birkenstocks and other foot-exposing shoes in favour of more weather-appropriate ones. Translation: It's boot season.You may recall that all anyone wanted to wear last winter were track-sole Chelsea boots. This winter is similar but a little different. What we’re seeing celebrities embrace thus far is a little less specific: platform boots. Some have laces or zips, some have track soles, some have small platforms, and others have thick platforms. Whichever specifics they choose, it’s clear that they’re craving cool, comfortable boots that offer a little height. And honestly, same.Ahead, we’ve collected some examples…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM As far as shopping experiences go, finding a great pair of jeans on the high street used to be tough (IRL or online, TBH). But over the past few years, there’s been an influx of affordable styles, lengths and shapes that suit every body shape. It’s no longer good enough that “cheap” jeans should feel cheap, so gone are the days of ill-fitting, saggy pairs made of fabric that quickly wears away.Seeing as I only have one body (and different figures suit different jeans), I decided to put the question to our Facebook group So… Should I Buy This? on the jeans the members rate on the high street right now. There were some brands that were mentioned several times, and while I wouldn’t say there were any surprises, it’s clear that jeans have a lot of people talking, with over…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM As a beauty editor, I honestly feel like a week doesn’t go by where there isn’t a “new” wonder ingredient that is supposedly going to shake up our beauty routine. Sometimes it’s a groundbreaking addition like hyaluronic acid, and sometimes it’s something that needs to be left in the kitchen cupboard. When I started hearing more about rice water, I needed to get to the bottom of whether it was actually a good addition to my hair routine or not.Despite it being used for many years, originating from the Yao women of China, recently, the ingredient has gained traction on social media thanks to the TikTok #ricewaterchallenge. “Using rice water has been around for generations in Eastern countries, but in the UK, it’s a recent discovery thanks to TikTok,” says Martin Crean, owner of Mode Hair. “It has various benefits…

December 26, 2021 at 06:00AM When I say I don’t shop on the high street that often, don’t take it the wrong way. It’s not like I’m swanning up and down Sloane Street or getting regular Net-a-Porter deliveries instead. In a bid to be more conscious with my shopping, I pulled back on all my purchases a few years ago and tried to focus less on cheap impulse buys and more on considered ones instead—quite a tough feat as a fashion editor. Yes, that has sometimes meant investing less often in more expensive pieces, whether that’s for the quality, eco-credentials or opting for a smaller independent brand. But it also means even my high-street purchases have had to become much more refined, focused and really, really worth it. Wearing Zara suit.Being in the industry helps with this, I think, as we see and try so much from the high street…
