5 Classic Hairstyles That Never Go Out of Fashion

October 10, 2021 at 06:00AM While we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest trends, there’s something to be said for forgetting about what’s cool and embracing the classics. When it comes to hair especially, the mix of trending haircuts and celebs undergoing colour transformations can make visiting the hair salon feeling like you’re about to sit an exam. After all, what if you go for a daring new chop only to regret it a couple of weeks later? To help, I’ve done a little research into the hairstyles that have stood the test of time and come up with an edit of five that always look timeless. From Alexa Chung’s bob to Jennifer Aniston’s long, layered locks, there are certain tried and tested formulas that never seem to go out of style.Keep scrolling to find out what the five styles…

The 9 Brands Fashion Editors Always Buy Their Basics From

October 10, 2021 at 06:00AM If you asked any fashion editor which part of their wardrobe got the most attention, it would probably be basics. Forming the essential groundwork for all outfits, these hard-working buys may fade into the background, but they can be surprisingly hard to get right. After all, the lack of adornment or distraction means there’s more emphasis on perfect fit and quality fabrics—essentially, there’s nowhere to hide. Everyone has their preferred brands for the different basics in their wardrobe: for example I always go to Arket for white T-shirts and crew neck knits. There are, however, a handful of brands that are widely regarded as failsafes in the basics department, both at high-street and designer ends of the market. So, I did a bit of a poll amongst my fellow editors to find out which brands they turn to again and again for those perfect jeans, boots, roll…

I Try Hundreds of Skincare Products a Year, But These 15 Are My Holy Grails

October 09, 2021 at 08:00AM Being a beauty journalist is wonderful for so many reasons. First of all, we get to write about beauty products all day long. Then there’s the fact we get first dibs on all of the new products before they even hit the shelves. And need I even mention all of the advice we get day in, day out from the best experts in the industry?And while we beauty editors hate to complain about anything to do with our jobs, there is sadly one major downside. You see, testing out products all day long isn’t exactly what one might call a solid routine—and skin really likes routine. Constantly chopping and changing products does not a good skincare routine make, and our skin knows it.In fact, my skin gets pretty stressed. More often than not, I’m dealing with breakouts, dryness, redness and/or irritation. And stressed skin makes me…

Hair Experts Say These Will Be the Biggest Hair Trends for Autumn

October 09, 2021 at 08:00AM While most of us are still desperately clinging to the final weeks of summer, industry experts have their sights firmly set on the season ahead as they make their predictions for the biggest autumn trends in the worlds of beauty and fashion. And with so many trending hairstyles emerging in 2021 already, I was particularly keen to find out what’s in store for our strands as we head into autumn. “In summer, we all love to experiment with our hair, trying out different styles from braids to beachy waves and opting for shorter haircuts that are less maintenance,” says Callum Standen-May, creative stylist at Bond Shoreditch. “However, in autumn, some of us can find it difficult to find the right hairstyle or cut that will continue to look healthy throughout the colder months.”All of the experts that I spoke to stressed that adding a nourishing hair mask or strengthening treatment to…

Without a Doubt, These 13 Autumn Nail Colours Always Look Classy

October 09, 2021 at 08:00AM It’s safe to say that this year, we’ve fallen back in love with getting our nails done. Having been denied the salon experience for so long, I—and, judging by the difficulty I had getting an appointment with my manicurist, so many of you—have been working hard to make up for lost time. When I did finally get my turn in the salon chair last week, I was curious to find out which colours were proving popular right now, to which my manicurist responded, “Everything autumnal—in here, summer’s over.”That’s right—while our wardrobes may still be clinging to the last few weeks of warm(ish) weather, as far as our nails go, our approach and preferences are absolutely geared towards autumn. I’m no exception, either, for the colour I chose was a rich, deep shade of burgundy, which I thought would help bridge…
