December 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Leggings are staples in many wardrobes given their versatile and comfortable nature. While some specific pairs are great for various workouts, the stretchy pants also work for those day-to-day looks when you’re out and about. Today, I thought I’d talk about the latter and showcase some of the chicest pieces to wear with leggings for autumn 2021.In reality, you could pair a smattering of items with leggings, but there are a few key pieces that I think will elevate your legging looks even more. I scrolled through Instagram to uncover the forward items some of my favorite fashion follows are styling with their leggings right now. There’s everything from a bold outerwear choice to a specific knitwear silhouette that’s quite polished.All of that shopping and styling inspiration is coming at you below.A white button-down shirt is timeless, and one in…

December 18, 2021 at 06:06AM When it comes to coats, I either opt for a tailored longline style or a trench in either beige, navy or tan. Some may say boring, I say classic. But when it comes to winter coats this year, I’ve branched out and got my first quilted puffer with checked sleeves from Baum Und Pferdgarten. Wild I know. And if I’m honest, my head has also been swayed by one for the most popular coats for women right now: cream coats. I’ve spotted so many of my fellow fashion editors and influencers alike sporting this particular colour. And while it’s an on-the-go coffee nightmare, I can’t stop thinking about how effortless they look with every outfit. Sure, you’ll need to splash out on dry cleaning more regularly than usual, but to look this good, I believe it’s worth every penny. All of the…

December 18, 2021 at 06:05AM Let’s face it: We spend so much time putting our everyday outfits together and reading up on and shopping the latest fashion trends that lingerie seldom gets a look in. When you’re pushed for time in a morning, those final five minutes before you rush out the door (or to your home office if that’s still the case for you) are typically dedicated to final applications of makeup or choosing which shoes go best with the rest of your ensemble. More often than not, underwear is an afterthought. But that shouldn’t be the case. Like with every other garment or accessory we wear, there are trends worth paying attention to. After all, as satisfying as it is to know that you’re killing it in the outfit department, isn’t it even more satisfying to secretly know that your underwear is equally on point?…

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM The longer I work in fashion journalism, the more I become convinced that in order to make the average person’s shopping habits more sustainable, they need to be presented with a genuinely appealing alternative. Rather than measuring individuals’ behaviour against fashion’s answer to the Ten Commandments (thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s high-street coat), we have to find creativity and excitement in new ways of consuming. Upcycled clothing has always seemed an exciting prospect in this regard, using the industry’s surfeit of waste and harnessing the limitless creativity of designers to create one-of-a-kind pieces that rival any fast-fashion find.Fanfare Label is one of a line-up of new fashion brands that are making upcycling a core part of their brand DNA. Launched by ex–fashion buyer Esther Knight in 2018, the brand takes pre-loved garments and gives them a new lease of life through a variety of innovative textile techniques. One of Fanfare’s most popular offerings is the “upcycle your jeans” service, where you can post a pair of your old…

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve noticed the dialogue around finding grey hair has really shifted over the years, and I, for one, am pleased. While, yes, seeing your first grey hair can be a shock, nowadays it seems like there is less of a head-first dive to cover them up and more of a move to work with the change of your tone. Grey blending is just the latest way to embrace the inevitable change to our hair, and experts agree that it’s the chicest way to transition colour.When it comes to applying this colour trend, it’s much like the highlighting services that we are used to. “With the grey blending service, hairdressers use techniques like babylights and balayage to blend grey hair into an overall look to give it a more natural result,” says Zoë Irwin, Wella…

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s no secret that the skin’s ageing process differs from person to person. While some people might start forming wrinkles in their late twenties, others might remain youthful and wrinkle-free until they hit 50. Skin ageing is a fact of life, and while genetics and lifestyle choices might delay the effects, at some point, it will catch up with you. And for most of us, this happens at some point in our forties. “Unless you’ve struggled with a specific skin condition like acne or psoriasis, during your twenties and thirties, you skin is likely to have been ticking along nicely, living off its own elasticity and hydration,” explains skincare specialist Jane Scrivner.So what exactly happens when we hit our forties? “It’s time to start replacing what your skin is losing during the ageing process. Your forties are the time to put…
