We’ve rounded-up the biggest trends and packaged them with all of your other favourites; nifty styling tricks, purse-friendly loungewear, hot new labels and chic interiors.

Fluid silkiness, in an almost nonchalant nod to dressing up, is key to this trend. This is all about draping the body in a luxe pool of silkiness, while avoiding VPLs and other pitfalls that might put you off satin. Instead, it’s elegantly oversized and both grown-up and achingly cool all at the same time. Style tip Try offsetting skirts and dresses with chunky knits to juxtapose texture and add instant grunge. Or wear pyjama-style suiting low slung, as seen on Drome’s catwalk…

An elegant affair Fringing can be fun for festivals, but it can also be very grownup when done correctly. Think luxe cashmere in grey or beige tones Double up Make like Leonie Hanne (right) and add fringing to all aspects of your outfit. If that’s too daring for you, try out a jacket and accessory combo Texture trials Not just for leather biker jackets, this trend has been seen on all materials, including this Bottega Veneta bag, perfect for cuddling! GET THE LOOK…

Before I wrapped the bump up in the cosiest of layers (predominantly from LA brand Rails), I headed to the West Country for a last-minute babymoon. As my boyfriend loves spending his free time immersed in nature rather than on a chic city break, I often find myself poring over Canopy and Stars’ gorgeous collection of quirky and outdoorsy staycation options to find happy ‘boutique’ compromises (aka wild but, like, you know, with hot water and soft pillows!). They came up with the perfect solution: three nights high up in the branches of a newly-opened, eco-conscious tree house in Somerset. The absolute dream! To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Mulberry has relaunched its best-selling bag of all time, the Alexa, but this time around made using leather from environmentally-accredited tanneries and…

Laura Weatherburn STYLE EDITOR I’d toughen up the dainty florals on this dress with a pair of stomping boots, keeping accessories simple, and layering a neutral blazer over the top. Francesca Scott FASHION ASSISTANT This dress is statement enough, so I’d pair it with sleek and simple accessories. Layering with a roll neck or pastel cardi will help to beat the late winter chill, too. Rachel Story FASHION EDITOR I’m fully invested in the sweater vest trend – I love how they can totally transform outfits. This ribbed style will look great layered over this dress. Jill Wanless EDITOR I love a dress that can transition seasons seamlessly. I’ll wear now over jeans with a teddy coat and boots, and later in spring with ankle-strap sandals and a big, fringed…

CHILL ZONE If icy winds, coupled with face masks and central heating, is making your complexion scream, it’s time to strip back your routine. Skip anything that could irritate, like exfoliants and acids, and cocoon skin in calming ingredients. For fast relief, slather on Scientia’s Green Supreme CBD Vegi-Tox Rescue Mask, £26 (left). It’s rich in moisturising fatty acids like hemp and soothing niacinamide. You can practically hear your skin saying ‘Ahh’. ESCAPIST SCENTS Forget what’s going on outside and let these fragrances transport you to good times. Jimmy Choo I Want Choo, £85, 100ml (1), bathes skin in a heady veil of steamy florals, jasmine and oriental red spider lily. Atelier Cologne Limited Edition Love Osmanthus Cologne Absolue, £95, 100ml (2), is a citrus done very well. Tangy and…

Colour correcting – it’s a beauty buzzword, but what does it actually mean, and does it add lots of products and unnecessary steps into your make-up regime? Using the colour wheel model that we learnt at school (were you paying attention?), there are a range of colours that can help correct and conceal for utter complexion perfection. After 17 years in the making, Givenchy has done the hard work for you by creating lightweight blurring powders, housed in a chic compact. “To recreate the skin’s natural colour, you need to combine and blend three to four shades,” says Givenchy’s creative director Nicolas Degennes. No wonder it’s a number one bestseller in the UK.…

When we speak to David Hodgson on the phone, it’s raining heavily outside and his French bulldog, Peggy, is sitting as close to the radiator as possible, uninterested in a walk. The dog is one of the reasons David and husband Henry Holland (who founded fashion label House of Holland and now has a podcast, What Were You Thinking?), moved to Victoria Park, a particularly green neighbourhood, in east London. Accessories designer David was made creative director at Lulu Guinness two years ago, the first designer to take on the role, besides Lulu herself. “Lulu contacted me to say she was taking a step back from the brand, she’s still very much involved, but wanted someone to come in and help with the next chapter. “It was amazing for me,…

Kyle De’Volle, originally a celebrity stylist to the likes of Rita Ora, Lily Allen and Cara Delevingne, has been working in the fashion industry since his early teens. “I’ve always had an interest in fashion and growing up in Portobello, west London, it’s such a melting pot of people with different careers,” he tells us, adding, “I was clued-up for a 14-year-old, while everyone was going to Whiteley’s hanging out by the water fountain, I was doing shoots”. However, more recently, Kyle is focusing on his modelling career, which is growing momentum. He’s a regular on the catwalk at London Fashion Week, and has appeared in campaigns for Viu eyewear, Wandler and Jean Paul Gaultier (a brand he works closely with) and has founded the Courage 4 Kids & Equality…

1 NOMIS Created for experimentalists, Nomis jewellery is designed to be versatile. A cuff can embellish your ear as well as your fingers. Pieces are multipurpose and compatible with modern life. Made from 18ct gold and lab-grown stones, each diamond and emerald used in the collection is hand-picked by brand creator Alyona Kiperman. Her jewellery doesn’t define sexuality, or the difference between natural and man-made stones. It’s all about expressing your style through the pieces. 2 MARIA LUCA Already spotted on Instagram cool girls, from Lucy Williams to Blanca Miro and supermodel Irina Shayk, Maria Luca first burst on to the scene this winter with her lust-worthy clompy boots. For spring we love the brand’s quirky sculptural heels and signature threads of fine gold chain on court shoes and wrap-around…

A relative newbie on the street style scene, this Paris-based beauty has a classic French style, but gives it a new lease of life with bold colour. Wearing all the labels we love – think Rouje, Sandro and Claudie Pierlot – her Instagram feed is a lesson in perfect dressing (check out her YouTube videos on everything from how to date the French way to a tutorial on styling your ‘bangs’). Her 60s fringe, generous pout and doe-eyed look make for instant Jean Shrimpton vibes, matching her effortlessly cool style. Slouc y chic Ever so French, pair your blazer with a rock’n’roll style shirt, like this bird-printed number, buttoned open as low as you dare Back to basics Let the outfit do the talking and pair with simple black accessories,…

Although Kristine Froseth might love nothing more than nature and horses, while wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants, she also does glamorous. Very well. The American-Norwegian model and actress, who grew up between Drøbak and New Jersey, was recently chosen by Chanel as its newest US ambassador – her elfin features, and long glossy hair are perfectly sur-le-point for the brand. And the feeling is mutual, the red lipstick-loving ingenue has been embracing the French powerhouse on Instagram (orange tweed suit, furry logo headscarf), what’s more she chose to wear one of its black feather and pearl-adorned haute couture gowns for her first Met Gala in 2019. The 23-year-old, who has shot campaigns for Armani and Miu Miu, acquired her acting breaks with Sierra Burgess Is A Loser (2018) and The…

SCANDI COOL There’s something effortless about Scandinavian style. The soft stripes, neutral tones, shearling-lined slippers and relaxed, yet put together aesthetic looks just as good outside the house as it does inside. FONDANT FANCY From candyfloss pink to cornflour blue, there’s something inherently cosy about cashmere and silk in sorbet shades. Nothing beats a slinky PJ set with fluffy slides, or a sweater over a dress come spring. SHE’S ECLECTIC The very best eclectic clothing is a cohesive blend of old, new, colour, texture and pattern. A little bit Iris Apfel, a little bit Alessandro Michele, and a touch of eccentric auntie, with cat-printed cushions. SLEEK & SIMPLE Minimalism, a mode of living centred around simplicity, means focusing on clean silhouettes and monochromatic palettes, mixing and matching together with total…

1. CARRY AN EGG We’re not talking egg and spoon here, this season the new It bag to hold is an oval shape. The hero label of the street style set includes newcomer Coperni with its now cult Swipe bag (right). Carry yours by the top handle to really show it off or wear neatly tucked under the arm. 2. ALL TIED UP While we’ve found all sorts of tricks, from tying them in our hair or on to a handbag, the neckerchief is back doing what it does best. Whether it’s tied at the side – think air hostess vibes – or neatly tucked into your shirt collar, it adds a pop of interest to your tailoring. Look for silky styles in retro prints to nail the trend. 3.…

I hope you were expecting my call,” giggles supermodel Natalia Vodianova in her native Russian accent, which is laced with a French inflection. She is phoning us from her bathroom in Paris, where they are in a national lockdown. “This is the second time. The children are going to school this time around and we are working from home without them, which feels better, as we were all on top of each other before.” A further adjustment between lockdown 1.0 and 2.0 is Natalia is now a Mrs, having tied the knot with French businessman Antoine Arnault, with whom she has two sons. A video of them being showered in rose petals was shared on her Instagram in September with the caption ‘oui’ accompanied by lots of love hearts. Here,…

Oh, so fresh Marc Jacobs has done it again with this limited-edition fragrance. Inspired by the feeling of carefree spring days, think delicate pink peonies mixed with creamy fig notes. Spring Eau de Toilette, £60, Marc Jacobs power perfume Dainty, sunny scents are expected in spring, but throw caution to the wind with heady hibiscus bottled with jasmine and patchouli. Red Hibiscus Cologne Intense, £134, Jo Malone London* Spicy spritz Fans of Floral Street will love this interesting cocktail of Balinese coconut, Madagascan black pepper spices, jasmine, fig and salted musk, making for one exotic blend. Arizona Bloom Eau de Parfum, £60, Floral Street Delicate dream Created to be a good luck charm, Lucky is light and seriously fresh, bursting with lily of the valley accords that drape skin in…

Renowned as a hedonistic playground, Mykonos is the stuff of legends – and we’re not talking about the mythological variety. Champagne-fuelled beach parties are a very real thing (as are the hangovers) but, much like its rival Ibiza, there’s more to this island than dancing until sunrise. The gastronomic scene is second-to-none, as are the stunning views and countless fashionable boutiques to explore in the Old Town. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends or on a romantic break, be prepared to fall head over heels for the destination’s magical charm this year. THE GASTRONOMIC SCENE IS SECOND TO NONE, AS ARE THE STUNNING VIEWS STAY Dreaming of a beachfront haven or a secluded retreat? Luxury rental agency The Greek Villas is guaranteed to have exactly what you are looking for,…

SPRING TREND REPORT In a season like no other, there was a tangible sense of optimism. Here’s our round-up of the biggest trends to inspire… SIMPLE LIFE A return to the basics propelled pared-back palettes to the forefront of many designers’ minds. It’s about looking simple and effortless through tonality and fluidity. Of course, Hugo Boss and Nanushka had this nailed, but it was also the likes of Fendi and Chloé who stripped back to practical minimalism. Style tip Head-to-toe white is a fierce way to work this trend, just be sure to wear with nude underwear. Creamy-yellow hues help to slightly soften the look BABY DOLL There was no shortage of pink on the SS21 runways, from the unapologetically ladylike froth and frills at Rodarte, to the (albeit surprising)…

As the director of fashion partnerships at Instagram, Eva Chen is at the forefront of ideas behind the content we scroll through daily. Many of Eva’s 1.6 million Instagram fans followed her fashion-forward feed and life as editor-in-chief of Lucky magazine, where Eva coined her #evachenpose, before making the leap to work at Instagram. Here, the mum-of-two shares her creative fashion knowledge with a tech audience, even helping to come up with the idea of Instagram stories – now used by 400 million people every day. And, if that’s not impressive enough, Eva is also a children’s author. We caught up with her to find out more…. What tips do you have for readers looking to make a business from their social media platforms? Brands have been a key part…

Each season, Erdem Moralioglu MBE delves into an endless wealth of resources. The fashion designer, who was mentioned on the Queen’s birthday honours list last year, is one of the most successful designers that shows on the official London Fashion Week schedule. Each of his beautifully complex, and often romantic, collections contains a strong narrative, things that he “stumbles upon” while travelling, visiting galleries or through his love of books and flowers. “I’ve always been looking for that trigger, and then my mind will start spinning and I’ll weave a story around it. I’m constantly looking for a fresh story that propels me forward into creating a collection.” For SS21, Erdem was inspired by The Volcano Lover , by Susan Sontag, a book he read during lockdown. The story tells…

CHECK MATE If you’re unfamiliar with London-based label Ghospell, then let us introduce you to a fashion editor’s best-kept secret. As sister label to the popular Sister Jane, you can expect trend-led pieces in premium fabrics, but with a high street price tag. For SS21, there’s a focus on checks, big collars, puffed sleeves and oversized silhouettes. If you love Ganni, we guarantee you will fall for absolutely everything – because we did……

London-based brand Kitri has joined forces with influencer Jessie Bush to create a capsule collection inspired by their mutual adoration of print and colour. We caught up with the social media style icon to discuss the collaboration and why it’s bound to be a sell-out success… What drew you to working with a brand like Kitri? I’ve worked with them in the past and it’s always a joy to collaborate with their enthusiastic, tight-knit team. We’re definitely aligned in our creative approach and love of colour. During the first lockdown, we were all obviously encouraged to work from home, which led to my husband and I shooting Kitri’s SS20 collection; from there, together we discussed the idea of potentially collaborating on a capsule collection at some point. So, when Haeni,…

What it is Did you know that the average person blinks around 15,000 times a day? It’s little wonder that your eyes can look much older than any other part of your face. “The soft tissue around the eyes naturally lacks supporting elements, like fat and muscle, so it can be more susceptible to sensitivity, as well as crow’s feet and hollowness from loss of elasticity,” says Dr Elif, dermatologist and founder of drelif.co.uk. The skin is ten times thinner, too, and can lose moisture 50% quicker than any other area of the face. So what can be done? Alas, without the help of a needle, bags and hollowness are here to stay. That being said, a targeted eye cream can make improvements. If you struggle with dark circles, vitamin…

HIGH STREET REFRESH Too much activewear? No such thing. The latest collection from M&S’s price point-friendly range, Goodmove, is a one-stop shop for everyone from gym-goers to runners and loungers (read WFH). The new Flexifit sports bra ticks all of the boxes. Stretch fabric, flattering longline style and medium impact for all activities. The expensive-looking quilted puffer coat is an on-the-go staple and, for yoga, the snug-fitting Go Balance leggings offer a flattering wrap-front waistband and blackout technology to ensure no show-through when you’re in your downward dog. Wear this GREAT OUTDOORS Old trainers won’t do for adventuring.You’ll need something cosy and supportive, like these Sorel Explorer Joan II boots, £160 (above). They have a cushioned midsole to avoid rubbing and are packed with insulation and super-soft fleece to…

Promising to be ‘super boutique luxury’ the elegant offering includes a gastro tavern, Japanese-Mediterranean fusion restaurant and rooftop bar with fire pits perfect for “gazing and grazing”. thelondoner.com 2. Music KINDRED SPIRITS English indie-folk singing trio Emily, Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor (aka The Staves), release their third studio album, Good Woman , this spring.
