December 12, 2021 at 06:30AM Having a hairdresser for a mum has meant that I’ve done just about everything you can think of to my hair. I’ve been platinum blonde, mahogany brown and everything in-between. I’ve framed my face with feathering and had thick fringes cut in. I’ve had hair down to my waist and chopped to my chin. It’s fair to say I was pretty fearless with my hair. That is until I got older.I don’t know why, but for some reason, I’ve defaulted to long-length hair in a creamy hue with lived-in roots. But after witnessing some impressive hair transformations on Instagram of late, I’m finally going to give my ‘do a refresh. And the look I’m toying with is a blunt bob.The blunt bob has undergone a bit of a resurgence as of late. A far cry from the dreaded bowl cut, instead, influencers…

December 12, 2021 at 06:30AM It’s really no secret that I am terrible at doing makeup. Considering I spend most of my days learning tips and tricks from the best makeup artists in the business and getting the lowdown on the new formulas and products set to make application easier, it’s pretty shocking how subpar my makeup skills are.And while, over the years, I have become confident in my ability to apply a base, place my blusher and contour the hell out of my face, the one area I still need serious help with is my eyes. As every makeup artist loves to remind me, my eyes turn downwards and are slightly hooded, thus making following any sort of one-rule-fits-all eye-makeup tutorials incredibly difficult. And it is at this time of the year (i.e., party season) when a smoky-eye look reigns supreme that I find myself getting most frustrated. I…

December 12, 2021 at 06:05AM Given the recent chill and stormy weather, now feels as good a time as any to talk coats. Yes, it’s a topic we’ve been covering for the past couple of months already, but as we finally find ourselves fully immersed in winter, it’s now that the biggest coat trends have truly become known. These are the coats that feel the freshest and are yet to be overdone, making them the ideal addition to your outerwear line-up should you be looking to fill a gap or simply want to start 2022’s first cold weeks on a sartorial high. As style people, we’re always looking to our favourite brands and fashion friends on Instagram to inform what’s new and what’s next. And when it comes to coats, we’ve clocked six trends that will be the most important for the rest of the season.…

December 12, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to luxury fashion, Gucci has always been at the top. Alongside the other stalwarts of the fashion industry—Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, et al.—the Italian fashion house has remained popular. Founded in 1921, this 100-year-old brand is arguably the biggest it’s ever been. True, Tom Ford’s tenure shouldn’t be discounted (he gave the brand real sass during the ‘90s), but since Alessandro Michele took over the helm of creative director in 2015, Gucci has completely transformed.Michele was only appointed head honcho about half a decade ago, but in the past six years, thanks to the creative director, the brand has become the most popular and most profitable in the Kering family, which also owns Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. There’s no denying the effect of the new aesthetic Michele’s brought to the label. According to global fashion search platform Lyst, Gucci is…

December 12, 2021 at 06:00AM Marks and Spencer is one of those high-street stores that is so good at delivering wardrobe heroes that look 10 times their actual price, whether it’s winter boots, midi dresses or classic knits. This season, however, it was a particular jacket that piqued my interest. Coming in a wool-mix fabric with a wintry plaid print and stylish fringing, this jacket had me hooked from the moment I saw it. I knew that I had to wear it for our winter-coats shoot.It’s not always a given that high-street coats will look as good IRL, but I’m happy to report that this jacket passed the test with flying colours. The fit is quite boxy, so I decided to cinch with a black belt. However, thanks to its light fabric, I think it would also look fab worn loose and layered under a roomier coat. For this reason, I would also…

December 12, 2021 at 06:00AM We’ve gotten to that time of year when we’re starting to look ahead to January—it always helps when the final months of 2021 are looking a little limp. Armed with the S/S 22 runway looks (full trend guide coming soon), the editors at Who What Wear have been predicting what will be hitting stores in the next 12 months. With temperatures dropping below 10ºC, it only feels natural that we focus our attention on knitwear, specifically pieces that will look fresh next year but can also be worn now. Many of 2022’s jumper trends will have carried over from 2021, while others may well be styles you already have in your wardrobe (a win-win situation if you ask us). So what do we think will be given the sartorial spotlight in the New Year? Well, the preppy vibe is going nowhere, manifesting in everything from cable-knits to nerdy knitted vests…

December 12, 2021 at 05:00AM Let’s be honest here: Not all of us will be going out this New Year’s Eve. Last year lockdown left us with no option but to stay in, and although this year is allowing to hit the pub to see in 2022, not all of us want to go out and about. There’s something great about getting dressed up to stay in, and spending the night with your nearest and dearest in your own is even better than ever. No bar queues, no £££ tickets to see some fireworks and no waiting for a cab home. There are a lot of perks to choosing to be propped up in your kitchen or on the sofa instead of a busy soirée.NYE feels like that last opportunity to get dressed up in something sparkly and festive. I appreciate this sounds rather…
