From Dinner to Disco: 20 High-Street Party Buys We’re Bookmarking

December 06, 2021 at 06:00AM Everyone has a different idea of what the perfect party outfit looks like. After a year of lockdown, many of us fashion magpies will be inexorably drawn towards anything sparkly while others may wish to lean into their newfound love of low-key celebrations. Whatever your chosen approach, making a decision about your outfit remains a tricky one. Well, that’s where we come in.

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

December 06, 2021 at 06:00AM 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 (ÂŁ297); Wolford turtleneck; Nili Lotan Oakland…

These Coats Are So Warm They Feel Like Actual Duvets

December 06, 2021 at 06:00AM Approximately 10 minutes after it was announced about the lockdown back in November 2020, I started a hunt for a coat that could actually double as a duvet. If my life was going to be al fresco, I wanted to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. After a week of searching, I settled on an oversized puffer from Arket, which is made from recycled down and is quite possibly the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my body, and I have a feeling it will remain a staple for winter 2021. In my research, I looked at every puffer coat on the internet, so I thought I’d share with you my rather extensive shortlist of coats, many of which are back in stock this season. If you have a higher budget, Moncler, Max Mara and Prada are the clear front runners, and unsurprisingly, I’ve found that Scandi brands really…

You Should Never Get Rid of These Classic Jeans—We’ve Got Proof

December 06, 2021 at 04:17AM There’s a big debate about how to wear slouchy jeans—yes, the relaxed style that dominated your teenage wares—and it goes very much like this: Should you wear heels or flats? And as for tops? Some argue that to counteract the looser fit, you should opt for something more fitted to elevate the denim to a more sophisticated look. Others say that you should embrace the slouchy style and choose a chunky knit and trainers.Much like skinny jeans, we imagine that a pair of slouchy blues are lurking in your wardrobe. But thanks to other styles getting more attention (straight legs or cropped flares, for example), perhaps they haven’t been your go-to for some time. But when you look at some recent street style pictures, we’ve noticed other fashion types haven’t been so quick to forget about them, and perhaps it’s high…

Zendaya Serves Us Spider Web Earrings and Thigh-High Boots Dripping With Jewels

December 06, 2021 at 12:31AM With Spider-Man: No Way Home premiering on Dec. 17, it’s just the start of Zendaya’s inspired press tour looks for the third film of the franchise, dreamed up and brought to fruition with the help of Image Architect Law Roach. The duo worked with the Roberto Cavalli team to repurpose a gold spine-like gown from the 2000s archives for an appearance in Paris, and now they’ve selected a spring/summer 2022 Alexander McQueen look straight off the runway for a photo call at The Old Sessions House in London. The oversize, double-breasted gray blazer is dripping with the same chandelier crystals as the thigh-high stocking boots it’s made to match. And while all those raindrop jewels would have been enough for some, Zendaya took it one step further with spider web earrings that didn’t distract from the rest of…

December 05, 2021 at 06:38PM Lil Nas X was presented with the 2021 Innovator of the Year award at the Variety Hitmakers event by his good friend Chloe Bailey.

36 Blunt Bobs That Are Making Me Completely Rethink Having Long Hair

December 05, 2021 at 08:00AM 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. Now, though, 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…
