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…

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM My friend Shayna Kossove is 42. She is also my colleague at Who What Wear, meaning I see her a lot and have plenty of opportunities to gaze upon her surprisingly, confusingly youthful visage. As two of the company’s veteran employees, we’ve worked together for almost eight years, and I promise I am not exaggerating when I say she looks exactly the same as when I started at the company. It is confounding. There’s a general consensus among the editors that Shayna looks 10-plus years younger than she is. Naturally, I needed to know what beauty witchcraft was going on, so I decided to get her exact anti-ageing skincare routine and copy it—and copy it and copy it—until I, too, would begin to age in reverse. I stuck with it for five months, and it worked. Here’s an in-depth look at her fountain-of-youth routine,…

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM Until December 2019, according to Google Trends, there were next to no searches in the UK for the shoe brand Nodaleto. But then, an explosion: In January of 2020, Bella Hadid stepped out wearing a pair of knee-high, platform-soled boots from the French label, and suddenly the world tuned in and started investigating. The truth is fashion people had already clocked the emergence of this brand and its signature curved platforms. It was the first time in a long time that single-sole, dainty heels were being questioned as the most on-trend option, and you could say that this niche collection of Mary Janes and boots has paved the way for a full-blown stacked-shoe revival. Not only was the aesthetic entirely in check, but the agenda-setting “souliers” brand was created by Julia Toledano, the daughter of Sidney Toledano, the CEO of LVMH, so there…

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM I’m not sure about you, but when winter comes knocking I get lazy with my makeup routine. The minute temperatures hit single figures, any motivation I once had to sit in front of the mirror first thing and apply a full-face is totally diminished. If you’re asking me, it doesn’t matter how good the season’s trends are, I’d much prefer to spend an extra 10 minutes in bed rather than get up early on a dark winter’s morning to spend more time on my makeup.I know this makes me lazy (and a bad beauty editor to boot), but it’s the truth. This year, however, I’m feeling a little differently. You see, the events of last winter meant that my seasonal loathing for doing my makeup was defunct. Having no reason to need to apply my oodles of makeup (because…

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM Discovering and fine-tuning your personal style is a journey. For Roz Kaur, the process is near to her heart given her adoration for fashion as a way to express herself. She’s been experimenting with style for a long time—especially with her work as a stylist over the last 24 years. While she continues to uncover new inspiration to shape her style, she now has a defined aesthetic. On that note, there’s one trend that’s stuck with her over these years that’s signature to her: the tailoring trend. In fact, she basically considers it a “forever trend” because it’s one she’ll always stand behind thanks to the timeless nature.“I don’t believe in menswear or womenswear,” she said. “I wear what I like, and below is how I make these beautiful, functional, and adaptable pieces my own.” If you keep scrolling, you’ll see the tailoring…

January 02, 2022 at 08:00AM The naked-dress trend is back, people, and it’s more naked than ever. While this look doesn’t ever seem to fade away, it’s definitely packing quite the punch for 2021. We’ve seen various iterations of the trend over the years, but right now, it seems to fit in one of two different camps: a skin-colour body-con dress or a barely-there dress that’s transparent or sheer or has a strategically placed piece of material (or even a combination of all three). Cher wearing a dress by designer Bob Mackie at the Met Gala in 1974. The naked dress has a long history, of course. Those who are big Cher fans (and who isn’t?) will recall the star’s dedication to creations by designer Bob Mackie, who regularly designed risqué items for the singer. Before that, however, there was Marilyn Monroe’s infamous sheer dress she…

January 02, 2022 at 06:02AM Winter can be a sartorial challenge, even for the most confident of dressers. The shift in temperatures proves to be the biggest hitch as, after months of giving little thought to whether your ensembles will be warm enough, this swiftly becomes your primary concern. And, let’s face it, it can be difficult to feel chic when you’re laden down in knitwear and wool. Difficult but certainly not impossible.Some of our favourite celebrities have taken winter in stride, flaunting their brilliant cold-weather looks on Instagram for all to see. Sporting gorgeous coats, the sleekest of boots, natty knitwear, cosy co-ords and luxe bags, these A-listers prove that looking slick and being appropriately dressed for the elements can go hand in hand.Amongst the most noteworthy attire is Emily’s sheepskin coat, SJP’s logo-emblazoned socks, Rosie’s sharp blazer and Alexa’s embroidered cardigan,…
