November 12, 2021 at 08:00AM Until December 2019, according to Google Trends, there were next to no searches in the UK for the shoe brand Nodaleto. But then, an explosion: In January of 2020, Bella Hadid stepped out wearing a pair of knee-high, platform-soled boots from the French label, and suddenly the world tuned in and started investigating. The truth is fashion people had already clocked the emergence of this brand and its signature curved platforms. It was the first time in a long time that single-sole, dainty heels were being questioned as the most on-trend option, and you could say that this niche collection of Mary Janes and boots has paved the way for a full-blown stacked-shoe revival. Not only was the aesthetic entirely in check, but the agenda-setting “souliers” brand was created by Julia Toledano, the daughter of Sidney Toledano, the CEO of LVMH, so there…

November 12, 2021 at 07:20AM There are two types of people right now: those who are already in the festive swing and playing Mariah Carey from the rooftops, and those who are not quite there yet. If you’ve already got the party playlist on then you may be ready to embrace sequins in all their sparkly glory. If you’re sticking to a classic cold-weather wardrobe, you may need some gentle encouragement to embrace sparkles. And this is where we come in. The sequin–most likely midi–skirt has been making an appearance on our Instagram feeds lately, and we are here for it. An inevitably cool way to step (not leap) into party season dressing is to follow the London laid-back look. Similar to wearing a dress with trainers, wearing a sequin skirt with a casual chunky knit, a humble cardigan or polo top is the way…

November 12, 2021 at 06:56AM In fashion terms, there is something uniquely potent about the power of an investment buy—an item of clothing that is able to hold its value and beauty and keep us coming back for more, season after season. In a world of micro-trends, next day delivery and more shopping options than one could ever need, the gentle plod of a timeless piece is not to be underestimated.For the weather-beaten Brit, the coat has to be one of the items of clothing that carries the heaviest load in our wardrobes, as it needs to get us through at least six months of the year (if not more) and must be warm enough to keep out the chill while still looking the part. Perhaps more so than other bits in our wardrobe, a coat is also an item that is least likely to be swept up…

November 12, 2021 at 06:30AM We’ll say it: no one nails the art of effortless beauty like French girls. Call it a stereotype if you’d like, but French girls always seem to have the most beautiful makeup looks. Considering that France is home to some of beauty’s biggest names (think L’Oréal, Guerlain and Clarins), it only makes sense that the French way of life is laced with nods to the country’s roots in beauty. It only takes a couple of minutes of roaming the streets in Paris to spot that French women know how to apply their makeup. Their skin is plump, smooth and glowing, their brows appear effortlessly preened, and their cheeks radiate a flush so healthy it leaves you wondering what their secret is. But wonder no more because we’ve reached out to French makeup artist Ewa Ciezkowska to uncover the six makeup tips French girls…

November 12, 2021 at 06:00AM There are two types of people in this world. Those who know their star sign and exactly what it means and those that don’t. If you fall into the latter, we guess you aren’t likely to be reading this article in the first place. But for all you horoscope obsessives and fans of all things celestial— oh, have we got a treat for you. Put away your tarot cards and stop religiously checking your Co-Star app because Missoma (home to our editors’ favourite affordable jewellery, as you well know) has just launched a new drop of beautiful layering necklaces that take inspiration from the Zodiac.

November 12, 2021 at 06:00AM A couple of the Who What Wear editors and I were discussing the high street's A/W 21 trends the other day, and the main thing we noted was how similar they were to last year’s offering. And you know what? It really is a breath of fresh air. Scroll through any new-in category right now, and you’ll see plenty of cold-weather heroes: puffer coats, chunky boots, crew-neck knits and clean-lined tailoring. The emphasis seems to be on classics over gimmicks and versatility over novelty. Has the concept of trends taken a bit of a bashing over the last 12 months? Undoubtedly, and it shows.So what does this mean for our relationship with the new season? Well, it simply means that there’s less of a chance that you’ll be craving large quantities of newness, as you’ll most likely already have many of the items sitting…
