December 25, 2021 at 06:00AM If I’m honest, I’ve never really been into leggings. Although, you would think I’m lying if you see how many activewear styles I have, sat there ready and waiting in case I ever set foot in the gym I pay monthly for. But when it comes to leggings to wear as part of a daily uniform, I’ve always avoided them. Until now, that is. And it’s all thanks to recent outfit inspo on Instagram. While it’s tricky to find a pair that doesn’t bag at the knees and sag at the crotch, so many brands – including Commando, Spanx and Totême – have nailed it with well-fitting styles. It’s all about getting the right thickness, too. Unlike opaque tights, you don’t want them to be sheer as this is what can make them look cheap and scruffy. Instead, thicker (more luxe) materials…

December 25, 2021 at 06:00AM 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…

December 25, 2021 at 05:00AM When you think of fashionable films, you might immediately hearken back to Sex and the City or The Devil Wears Prada—which isn’t wrong. Carrie Bradshaw is a style icon in her own right, and I would still let Andrea Sachs step on me in those Chanel boots. But even films that aren’t obviously focused on fashion use style as a plot tool.After all, the best characters are stylish, and if done right, a character’s style can transport the viewers to another realm; indicate a time period; signify class, race, or gender identity; or say what’s left unspoken by the actors. So which films’ costume designs possess the ability to transport you? Ahead, we’ve rounded up 13 stylish movies that you can stream right now to get your fashion-and-film fix. Grab your popcorn because the costumes and cinematography in these movies will have you…

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM As a millennial beauty editor, I am often left a little confused (and sometimes infuriated) by some of the things I see on TikTok. Typically, messages that promote using lube as primer or using a banana to apply winged liner aren’t the sorts of things that fill beauty editors with confidence. However, when Gen Z took to TikTok earlier this year to brand side partings as “cheugy,” I wasn’t totally aghast. Personally, I think that flipping your hair over to the side is one of the simplest and most effective ways to elevate and volumise any look. However, I do have to agree that the middle part is a superior way to style your hair.As someone who spent most of her adolescent life straightening her side-parted fringe and spraying can after can of Batiste into the roots to try to get some volume into my obscenely side-parted…

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for winter 2021. As we enter November, while we are no longer in lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably remain an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we're jumping at the opportunity to go “out out,” chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function.The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on for a chilly November morning, but this year, it comes with more streamlined quilting, which is perfect for layering. There’s also plenty of colour via the saturated shades that hit the runways at Prada and Bottega Veneta. From…
