September 06, 2021 at 12:00PM Think back to the late ‘90s. We watched Friends religiously, Green Day T-shirts were all the rage, nu-metal culture was on the rise, shoes came in the form of Etnies or DCs and you couldn’t move for the amount of Dickies and Carhartt being worn by the nation’s teenagers. Today, however, I want to talk about the '90s jeans we all wore. From my memory, the predominant look was an ultra baggy style had to be so long and loose they soaked up any amount of water on the floor. If it rained, you would inadvertently end up with a pair of two-tone jeans. And much like other Y2K trends, these trousers are back. Right now, one pair in question is incredibly popular: Weekday’s Rail Mid Loose Straight Jeans. It’s easy to see why—this pair is the classic '90s baggy jeans with a…

September 06, 2021 at 11:48AM With the Venice Film Festival this week and the rescheduled Met Gala on the horizon—mark your calendars for September 13—fashion fans are in for a real treat this month. It's still early in the festival, but celebrities have wasted no time turning up in absolutely stunning red carpet outfits. One look that caught my eye, in particular, was Dakota Johnson’s sheer number by Gucci. The dress has more crystals than any gown in recent memory and also features unique padded shoulders and a light-as-air fringed cape. Scroll down to see what Johnson, as well as Cynthia Erivo and the siblings Gyllenhaal, wore to the 2021 Venice Film Festival. WHO: Cynthia Erivo . WHAT: Attending the premiere of Last Night In Soho.

September 06, 2021 at 10:30AM In the world of beauty, it’s hard not to get swept up in the excitement of newness; fancy product launches that promise us the world or, at the very least, noticeably glowy skin, lengthened lashes, or fuller-looking lips. Sure, some do live up to their lofty promises, and may even become a firm fixture in our beauty bags, but it won’t be long before another wonder product comes along to steal the spotlight. The real objective of any beauty product should, however, be longevity—to be eternally relevant and adorned long after the initial social media fanfare. It takes time, but the products that are worth knowing are the ones that remain in-demand once everything goes quiet. However, sometimes a quietly unassuming beauty classic does offer all that, but is still unexpectedly swept once again into the spotlight due to TikTok hysteria.…

September 06, 2021 at 08:00AM Out of all our knitwear options, cardigans arguably have the greatest nostalgic associations, and while they might remind us of our school days, 2021’s high-street iterations are anything but childish. The ideal throw-on layer for the changeable British late summer, I’ve been wearing mine when sat at my desk and in need of warming or an extra layer, or when the temperature drops in the evening.Two of the brands that top our AW21 wishlist are not designer offerings, but Arket and & Other Stories. Clearly, the high street is the place to be right now when it comes to cardigans. A bit of online research confirmed this, and let’s just say we now have a few new additions to our new season capsule. From Arket’s clean-lined styles and H&M's longline knits to Stories's ccolour pop hues and Mango’s cute checked iterations, scroll down to shop our favourite cardigans on the high street now.Cosy up…

September 06, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

September 06, 2021 at 08:00AM As a fashion editor, I always get questions about the secret to a well-assembled wardrobe, to which I have the same answer: versatility. Ideally, your wardrobe should include some premium pieces mixed among more affordable items, with a dose of vintage and second-hand for good sartorial measure. It’s this eclectic mix of brands and price points that will ensure your clothing reflects your personality. As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life—and, naturally, you want your outfits to be spicy, too.That said, I understand the appeal of snapping up an entirely new outfit from just one store. First, it’s an effective use of your time, as it doesn’t involve having to traipse around every shop or browse every new-in section. Chances are it’ll also look seamlessly pulled together, as the brand’s honed aesthetic will be evident in every piece.While I…
