So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy.

Jennifer Aniston and J.Lo Both Wore the Denim Trend I’m Replacing Skinnies With

December 15, 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…

The “Dated” Trend French Women Still Love to Wear

December 15, 2021 at 06:04AM One thing we’ve noticed about French women is their shared ability to breathe new life into older trends—looks some might even deem “dated.” But with their natural flair and laid-back approach to styling, we find ourselves being influenced to wear trends previously written off once more. Enter corduroy. While this retro fabric has long been considered a basic, we haven’t seen it as much in the last few years. But make no mistake—if you follow the Gallic-girl dress code, it’s one of the season’s biggest trends.Although the material has roots in the ‘70s, French women are giving their corduroy staples a modern feel, wearing them in fresh new ways. Take Julie Sergent Ferreri, whose bright-pink corduroy suit was one of the sleekest looks we clocked during Paris Fashion Week. And Franny Fyne? She makes her classic tan corduroy blazer feel bang-up-to-date with the…

There Are 17,000 Pieces in the Net-a-Porter Sale—You Need to See These 25

December 15, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s no fancy way to say this but, wow, the NET-A-PORTER sale is looking good this year. After a mere 10 minutes scrolling through the first few pages, my internet tabs were edging close to 30 and covered an eclectic mix of 16Arlington feather-trim blazers, Preen printed tops and JW Anderson chunky knits. NET-A-PORTER really has left no stone unturned in its discount offering this year. At the time of writing, there are 17,113 results in the sale, which, if you browsed every item, would result in a lot of scrolling. That’s a hefty undertaking, even for a shopping editor. But I have some tricks up my sleeve that allow me to find the best bits, which I have now rounded up for you in one concise shopping edit—you lucky things. I’ve tried to pick pieces that I genuinely think are worth the investment and will stand the…

These Iconic Gucci Bags Will Always Be the Height of Chic

December 15, 2021 at 06:00AM It bags may come and go, but when buying a designer handbag and parting with such a significant amount of money, you want to be certain that it’s something that is truly deserving of the title of "investment piece.“ This is an item that you want to have by your side for years, if not decades. Yes, love is a big part of it, but this is also a purchase that requires a certain amount of research and consideration. There are certain heritage houses that are known to hold their value but that also create timeless, beautiful designs that ensure their key styles are continued for decades. Gucci is one of these very labels. Looking through a Gucci collection is like diving into an eclectic dressing-up box—you’re met with more crystals, bold colours, wacky prints and feathers than you’d see at an Elton John…

All My Favourite Party Buys Have This One Thing in Common

December 15, 2021 at 06:00AM Is there really anything more fabulous than feathers? It’s a rhetorical question because, of course, the answer is no. For me it always summons glittering visions of silver screen Hollywood starlets and the sort of unapologetically glamorous matriarchs who wear their diamonds to bed. Feathers are frivolous, yes, but they are also escapist, fun and guaranteed to put you in the party mood, whether you’re in a cocktail bar or lounging on the sofa.Fashion brands such as 16Arlington, The Sleeper and Taller Marmo have helped to bring feather-trimmed pieces into the mainstream over the last couple of years, and I have been a vocal supporter from the start. I wouldn’t exactly consider myself to be an extravagant dresser, but when it comes to party-wear I can’t resist a little bit of ‘extra’. For example, at my 30th birthday party a few weeks…

Spring/Summer 2022 Trends: The Only 17 Looks You Need to Know About

December 15, 2021 at 05:09AM I am so excited about S/S 22’s fashion trends. The overarching mood was one of real optimism, but where the previous season perhaps went into overdrive with the desire (desperation?) to get dressed up for even the most low-key of weekly grocery shops, the outlook for S/S 22 is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry. There are places to go, people to see and the many ensembles to suit. So while on the one hand there’s a very clear shift towards revealing, ultra-sassy, cut-to-here-and-slashed-to-there kind of dressing, there’s also a very chic, understated antithesis at play. It speaks to a modern shopper’s whims and natural inclination to change one’s mind. Some days you might channel Rosie…

It’s Official: These Are the Best Winter Boots From Nordstrom

December 15, 2021 at 03:20AM Let’s be honest: the first official day of winter might not be for another week, but the weather outside is pretty frightful. So if you haven’t already, it’s about time you stock up on sweaters, insulating coats, and some winter boots. But can we chat about the latter for a second? Sure, winter boots might be designed to keep our feet warm and dry - as well as keep us from slipping on those inevitable slick spots - but they don’t have the most stylish reputation. (When you hear the phrase “winter boots,” you probably envision a clunky pair that’ll weigh you down.) But what if we told you it didn’t have to be that way? That’s where Nordstrom comes in. As the arbiter of cool, the retailer has something stylish for virtually every aspect of your life…

We’re Tangled Up in Marsai Martin’s Lace-Up Corset Skirt at the Spider-Man Premiere

December 15, 2021 at 02:15AM Marsai Martin deserves full credit for single-handedly curing my arachnophobia in her lace-up Dolce & Gabbana outfit at the Spider-Man: No Way Home world premiere. Wearing a look that beautifully complemented Zendaya’s slinky spiderweb slip dress, Marsai stepped onto the red carpet looking like an honorary Spider-Girl, and we’d definitely cast her in the next Marvel film. The outfit featured an extra-high-waisted corset miniskirt in a subtle black-and-red leopard print that gave off major Far From Home Spidey suit vibes. The skirt was layered over an oversized bomber jacket with puffed sleeves that covered Marsai’s hands like gloves, and we’re only a little bit suspicious that she had a secret superhero costume on underneath (just in case the world needs saving). Marsai added a few finishing touches to the outfit with a pair of Le Silla heels that…
