I Tried On 10 Pieces From & Other Stories’s Autumn Collection—See What I Loved

September 28, 2021 at 05:00AM Welcome to The Great Try-On. With autumn on the horizon, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best autumn pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the most foolproof way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to some successful autumn purchases.& Other Stories happens to be my (and my fellow editors’) favourite destination for pieces that are the perfect balance between polished and trend-forward, so when I got the opportunity to test-drive the brand's autumn arrivals, I was ecstatic. The brand features expensive-looking basics you’ll want in your wardrobe but adds the teeniest touches of trending elements, whether it’s a pop of colour, fun buttons, or a subtle print. It took quite some time to make my…

Fashion Editors Agree: These 5 Autumn Pieces Are Worth Investing In

September 27, 2021 at 03:29PM After years of reporting on different trends as fashion editors, we often end up eschewing said trends altogether when it comes to our own wardrobes. Whether this is a result of feeling overwhelmed with the pure volume of clothes out there or a direct reaction to seeing trends come and go so quickly, many of us have ended up with a more streamlined selection of investment pieces that we wear year after year. Not only does this simplify things when getting dressed in the mornings, but it’s also a more sustainable approach to dressing. Of course, everyone has their own personal style and thoughts about what actually counts as an investment buy, but there are some key items we can all agree on. For autumn, this list includes buttery soft leather, premium knitwear, versatile shirts for layering and, of…

Experts Say Great Skin Is All About Breaking These 6 Beauty Habits

September 27, 2021 at 08:00AM Getting to grips with exactly what sort of beauty practices are right and what are wrong can feel quite overwhelming. One minute, double cleansing is all the rage, and the next, everyone’s preaching that it’s wasteful and unnecessary.

So if you’re fed up of spending a fortune of anti-ageing lotions and potions to no avail, it could be worth taking a long, hard look at your routine as a whole.

Don’t Fight It: This Y2K Jeans Trend Is Officially Back

September 27, 2021 at 08:00AM People got really hyped up about Y2K. It was the turn of the century, you could finally listen to that Prince song and mean it, plus there was a lot of talk about how there was a computer bug that was going to turn everything off at the stroke of midnight, as our PCs wouldn’t be able to understand the switch from 1999 to 2000. While programming disasters were (mostly) averted, I can’t say the same for fashion. Y2K was a particular sort of era. Sure, it was a simpler time when people could still wear jeans or a nice top and trousers to a red carpetevent, but there were fedora hats, Juicy Couture trackies and lots of pointy-toe heels that everyone seemed to wear with bootcut jeans (shudders).The thing is Y2K trends are booming. Thanks to Gen…

So Many People Are Buying These High-Street Jeans, and I Can Totally See Why

September 27, 2021 at 08:00AM 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 that 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—these are classic '90s baggy jeans with a lowish waist…

39 of the Best Bob Hairstyles to Inspire Your Next Haircut

September 27, 2021 at 08:00AM My hair has recently reached that awkward in-between length: it’s no longer the mid-length lob that I visited the hairdressers for last year but it can’t quite be considered a long hairstyle yet. Instead, it’s sitting rather uninspiringly on my shoulders causing me to seriously consider going for the chop. I’ve experimented with shorter hairstyles over the years but have never taken the plunge into a full-on bob.However, with my Instagram feed starting to fill up with dramatic, post-lockdown haircuts, I have to admit that I’m seriously tempted to forgo my lengths in favour of something shorter, choppier and infinitely cooler. And a quick look online confirmed Kourtney Kardashian to Lily James, so many celebrities have undergone major short hair transformations over the last year, and their styles look seriously amazing.Keep scrolling for 38 celebrities and fashion girls that are stepping out in the best bob hairstyles right now. Trust me—these are the looks to copy…
