"Hey bitches! I'm not looking for Mr. Right. I'm looking for Mr. Right Tonight. I'm on UES. Where should I go?" read one post. Dozens of comments throw out places to head to in search of a free drink and male company sans judgement. Another said, "Hi bitches! I'm sooo curious to know what your thoughts are around preventative botox. Is it a scam? Will it be a game changer? How early is [too] early?" That post is filled with detailed answers about estheticians, injectors, and influencers. (If you're wondering about the majority consensus, one user put it bluntly: "Waste of fucking money, and the beauty industry gets you hooked." Noted!)

There's no question too stupid for this community. Thousands of queries have been asked and answered since the subreddit's inception in July 2023, and there's a dedicated master list filled with detailed recommendations on the best hairdressers and the best fertility doctors and tips for how to stay safe as a single female—all vetted firsthand by the subreddit's tight-knit community of stylish women who live throughout New York City's five boroughs. J, a 34-year-old finance professional, was one of them. Her thorough, glowing review of the Mario Badescu spa in Manhattan is one of the most upvoted posts in the forum.

"I wrote the same way I'd tell a friend at a cocktail party about my experience," J, who declined to use her full name, told Who What Wear in an email interview. After seeing consistent recommendations about the spa from other women in the community, she decided to pop in for a service. "It's important to me that I note this. I didn't want to gatekeep my 'find' after visiting the Mario Badescu spa. I've gained so much from the community—who am I to hold back blessings for other glowy-skinned bitches who don't want to break the bank?" she added.

J originally joined the community in 2024 after looking for local shopping recommendations, and it's since evolved into an A-to-Z lifestyle guide. "For me, being part of this Reddit community is less about where to shop and more about how to live," she explained. "[Women] come here to make friends when they're feeling lonely. They come here to find winter-ready trousers, the best workhorse handbags, and the best gift ideas for a friend who just got promoted or flowers and houseplants for one who got laid off. So many of the requests and valuable moments in the community are about celebrating others."

NYC Bitches With Taste's shopping recommendations revolve around finding your personal style while being mindful of your consumption. Dozens of women in the community swear by their capsule wardrobes, incorporating pieces from contemporary brands such as Madewell, Sam Edelman, and Vince for dinner dates, office meetings, and group chat–sponsored happy hours. Of course, there's a slew of luxury brands these women swear by. Think Khaite, The Row, and Toteme—all staples our editors love too.

The subreddit, often referred to as NYCBWT, has spawned its own IRL version, r/NYCBitchesWhoHangOut. The community's Discord chat is brimming with women making plans. Although our parents warned us not to talk to strangers, much less meet up with them, J says she's never felt more in community than with the women she's hung out with off of the platform.

"There was one woman who was a leader in fintech, another woman who was literally a stripper in Midtown, and there was a doctor and a housewife who drove in from Stamford, Connecticut. … On the surface, we have nothing in common, but when else are you going to have all these people in one room, sharing little inside jokes and chatting for hours?" J said. "You never know who you're going to meet. It's like a blind date."

J's insight is simple: Everyone wants to feel like they have something to offer—be it career advice or the secret spot for designer shoes on the low. We all crave validation and a sense of belonging. In the wake of the pandemic, much has been said about America's growing loneliness epidemic, an affliction that's only deepened as social norms continue to unravel and screen times rise. Young, single women have been hit hard by this crisis, according to The Guardian. Add the stress of life in one of the world's largest metropolises, and it's no wonder NYC Bitches With Taste has taken off. People are searching for authentic connection, friendships that feel real, and someone to yap with. This yearning for female friendship is more than just a desire—it's a primal need.

"With loneliness, it's a lot of us counting ourselves out [of the conversation] and saying, 'I don't have anything to offer,' but with these communities, it's like, 'Nope—you are inherently enough,'" J said.

Chic locales are at the heart of NYC Bitches With Taste. Whether you're looking for a cozy jazz spot for post-work drinks or a hot new restaurant to take your parents to when they're visiting the city, recommendations are never far and few between. The community loves places like The Django and the Salon 94 art gallery, high-end facialist Elizabeth Grace Hand at Ställe Studios, and elegant bars like Pebble Bar and Via Carota.

Although certain Reddit forums can act as a left-leaning respite from the red pill, alt-right-pipeline communities taking flight across the internet, there's still large work to be done when it comes to equitable gender representation on the platform. With women comprising just 38% of users, most communities remain largely male dominated. Female-centric subreddits like r/FIREyFemmes (71,000 users) struggle to gain sitewide traction when compared to their generalized counterparts—in this case, r/Fire (638,000 users).

The "tech bro" category Reddit tends to fall into as a platform can be off-putting to women, especially Black women and women of color who are looking for wardrobe solutions and luxury lifestyle content. While it's true that many fashion and style spaces—especially online—have historically catered to white women, NYC Bitches With Taste has made a conscious effort to break from that mold. The community has prioritized inclusivity and has numerous threads dedicated to sharing recommendations that reflect the unique needs and preferences of women of color. It's this focus on diversity and inclusion that really makes it stand out, creating a space where women from all backgrounds can feel seen and get honest, thoughtful advice.

It's time to get outside. NYC Bitches With Taste embrace living their lives to the fullest, whether it's carving out time in their schedules to meet with friends, Citi-Biking in the summer to save some money (hello, congestion pricing!), or partaking in simple movement routines like going to Pilates and walking to Sheep Meadow in Central Park for some dedicated "touch grass" time.

As an avid Reddit user since my high school days, I can say with certainty that there was nothing cool, curated, or chic about the platform until NYC Bitches With Taste came along. I stumbled upon the community early in 2024, seeking unfiltered, honest opinions about where I could find an aesthetically pleasing gynecologist's office in Manhattan. Sure, I had seen glowing reviews on TikTok about the healthcare provider I was thinking about going to, but I knew better than anyone that many of the reviews I had seen online had massive campaigns and thousands of dollars in ad revenue behind them. I was fed up with being sold a fantasy that every product, service, and upgrade would change my life—especially when the influencers hawking them were getting paid more for one post than I make in a month.

"Having a space where you're able to receive and provide information without it being sponsored, influenced, or overhyped is really important," explained Ashley L, an avid NYCBWT reader. The 26-year-old fashion sales marketing and advertising professional is surrounded by #ads at her job too. "I don't think there are any spaces left like this on the internet, really," she added.

Like most community members, she took matters into her own hands. Be the change you wish to see—Ashley's robust "Mid-Late Twenties Master List" has been downloaded and shared thousands of times on the site. In it, there are 73 points of advice and recommendations, and before you ask, yes, she's a Virgo.

"I'm actually surprised it garnered so much attention given how many low-effort posts were starting to pop up on the subreddit," she admitted over email to Who What Wear. "I wished someone would course-correct and get us back on track, and I had my Apple Maps pins and my opinions ready to go. [I] figured, Why not contribute and fix what I wanted to see?" Ashley basically became the people's princess overnight: "A girl's girl, a woman's woman, a queen's queen," one comment read. "This is an amazing list, and I am so thankful to you for sharing! As a Capricorn bitch who's been out of her element for a few years now, I feel so confident in finding myself again and upgrading," said another. It was clear. Ashley wasn't just giving recommendations; she was offering a blueprint for reinvention.

The community has exponentially grown over the last few months and spawned other iterations, like r/DC Bitches and the global BWT hub. Let's be real, though. It's New York City or nothing. NYC Bitches With Taste is a refreshing escape from the usual online circus. There are no polished façades and no hidden agendas—just real women swapping advice like they're texting their best friend after a long day. In a world that's always demanding their attention, the women of NYCBWT are redefining what true connection and community look like in the digital age. Honestly, what's bitchier than that?

With covetable style comes a covetable shopping list. Waller shared the seven items on his 2025 agenda. The picks in question will elevate any wardrobe due to their forward and versatile nature.

Keep scrolling to dive into Waller’s 2025 shopping list, complete with the specific items he’s eyeing in each of the categories.

Suede Everything

"Suede continues from F/W 24 into spring with literally everything in suede, but in lighter tones for spring; I can't wait to wear suede blazers, suede sneakers, suede bags, and suede shirts. It's going to be a bohemian renaissance thanks to Chloé, so suede will be everywhere." — Waller

East/West Bags

"A continuation from last year, EW styles will still dominate as more brands put their spin on the trend. Offered in different sizes and fabrications." — Waller

Dark Denim

"Darker washes all year long in both bottoms and tops; tailored dark-denim pieces like wide-leg dark-denim trousers, structured denim button-ups, and jackets. The whole point is dressing up denim this year in darker washes in sophisticated cuts." — Waller

Boxing/Flat Sneakers

"Vintage-inspired styles with a flatter and sleeker profile." — Waller

Shield Sunglasses

"I've always loved big sunglasses because I feel like they complement my face the best, so I'm looking forward to them trending this year, especially ones that are obnoxiously large. I want that goggle-like, chic Phoebe Philo look." — Waller

Workwear/Utility Jackets

"I love jackets for all seasons, so I'm excited to get more wear out of my canvas barn jacket in early spring and transition to lightweight nylon jackets as the season progresses. Think waxy Barbour jackets, streamlined bombers, and utility jackets." — Waller

Big Bags

"Also from last year, but some styles are more exaggerated, especially crescent-shaped bags. The whole point is to carry everything you could possibly need and more. More is better this year when it comes to the shoulder bag for me." — Waller

It's a well-known fact that if you live in a place that experiences true winter, your coat is the most important factor in your wardrobe. For an entire season (and then some), the outerwear you choose to wear is all you wear, at least from an outsider's perspective. No one's going to see what fantastic ensemble you've assembled underneath it. All they know is the coat you put on top. So if elegance is the reputation you want to build around your style this winter, finding a sophisticated and expensive-looking piece of outerwear is the only essential step. (A great bag, some fun earrings, a cool pair of leather gloves, and a standout hat help, but those are buys for another day.)

Fortunately for anyone in the market for an elegant coat style right now, I have just the selection for you coming up. I grew up in Chicago, where my hair would freeze if it was at all wet on the way to school in the morning. I went to college in Iowa where the land is so flat that nothing can block the wind from whipping you around. And then, did I move somewhere warm and coatless? No, I came immediately to New York City, where it "felt like 2ºF," according to AccuWeather, every morning for the last week. Let's just say I know a thing or two about purchasing a good coat that's both utilitarian and worth showing off when nothing else about your outfit matters.

Without further ado, scroll down to peruse the most elegant 34 coat styles of 2025.

We already know that denim works well with "classics" (and we've never seen a cardigan and jeans outfit we didn't like), but if you're tired of wearing the same knit and blazer jacket on rotation, you may be looking for some new ways to wear your jeans over the next 12 months. Thankfully, outfit inspiration is our forté, and after sorting through the looks that we like and the looks we really love, we've come up with a few ideas that might just help you make up your mind.

So, if you too have jean fatigue and you've been wondering what to wear with them that doesn't feel too "samey", below you finally have the answer. Keep scrolling to see the 8 trends to pair with denim now, you may already have them in your closet.

1. SUEDE

Style Notes: If you were following us through autumn and winter 2024, you'll know just how much of an impact luxe suede has had on our wardrobes. The beauty of this trend is that whatever it touches, suede has the power to make it look instantly expensive (including blue denim), so whether you're throwing on.a suede jacket over a white tee, adding a suede tote to your outfit or stepping into a pair of suede loafers, you can rest assured that your everyday look will be dressy enough for even a smart dress code. What other fabric can do that so easily?

2. 90's BASICS

Style Notes: On the days when you need convenience, there is a failsafe denim formula that always works. Jeans + minimalist basics = pared-back perfection, and this is an easy look you can wear all year round. Spring? Try a white tee. Summer? A tank top or cami will be your best friend. Autumn/winter? Bodysuits and stretch turtlenecks are a layering wonder. Calvin Klein's vision for the minimalist '90s looks as good the second time around as it did then, and it helps that it takes no more than five minutes to assemble.

3. ANIMAL PRINT

Style Notes: Snake, leopard, zebra, mock croc—every year and every season we're treated to a new animal print trend, a testament to the fact that these wild prints never go out of style. Whatever your preference, you may be tempted to keep things simple by pairing prints with black, but denim works just as well by acting as a neutral base to let faux skins do the talking. Leopard print coats and jeans are natural soul mates, but we also love Sabrina's statement boot combination [pictured above] as an alternative to the expected black or brown.

Shop Animal Print:

4. DOUBLE DENIM

Style Notes: Tired of seeing double denim outfits? No, we aren't either, and for any sceptics who needed further proof that double denim is actually one of the chicest pairings there is, take a look at Sylvie's off-duty cool [pictured above]. So many other pieces could have worked here—cardigans, cable knits, blouses, and of course, the plain white tee, but there's something about the slouchy fit of the shirt and matchy-matchy wash that makes this feel much more considered.

Shop Double Denim:

5. BOMBER JACKETS

Style Notes: Spring is just around the corner, and with bright, sunny skies but inevitably low temperatures ahead, a good spring jacket is a wise investment. Handy then that everyone is wearing bomber jackets again, as now the market is full of options that are perfect for the transitional period. Size up for a slouchy fit that works particularly well with baggy jeans and sandals, or trainers on the days when comfort is king.

Shop Bomber Jackets:

6. WESTERN BELTS

Style Notes: 2025 has only just begun, and already we're picking up on belt trends left, right and centre. From skinny, understated belts to dressy, gold chains, there's a finishing touch for every style, but the one I predict fashion people will wear on repeat for the rest of the year and beyond are western inspired belts with subtle details like studs and metal tips that help them stand-out from the crowd. Who said belts had to be purely functional anyway?

Shop Belts:

7. DISTRESSED LEATHER

Style Notes: There's something decidedly polished about dark indigo and black washed jeans, so it makes sense to opt for high/low styling and mix elegant jeans with the ultimate cool-girl staple: a distressed leather jacket. "Lived-in" looking leather never goes out of style (just like denim, now we come to think of it), so this combination might be trending now, but it will still look as good as 5 years time.

Shop Distressed Leather:

8. BLUE SHIRTS

Style Notes: There's a handful of key pieces I would expect to see in the British style set's wardrobe: blazers, loafers, cardigans and t-shirts, but one thing that keeps cropping up in the modern French capsule is an oversized blue shirt. Given just how many style lessons we've picked up from our friends across the channel, this is one worth noting—blue shirts and blue jeans are a match made in heaven, and topping the look off with a pair of loafers or ballet flats adds that je ne said quoi that makes humble denim feel special.

Shop Blue Shirts:

There's arguably no nail design more elegant or timeless than simple French tips. They flatter any nail shape and length, making you look instantly polished, and there are myriad ways you can play—from rainbow-topped manis to mix-and-match prints. The classic look will always have a place in my heart, but I'll see your French tip and raise you a nail crown, a design that has been hot since the festive season and is showing no signs of cooling off.

If you love French manis, trust me. You're going to fall head over heels for this trending iteration. (I, for one, have been obsessed since spotting it in WWW associate beauty editor Maya Thomas's nail inspiration guide.) The tiny tweak ramps up the elegance by 1000%. But don't just take my word for it! Below, celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec spills all the details you need to know.

What are nail crowns, and why are they trending in 2025?

The name says it all—chic, tiny crowns for your nails. Yes, that basically refers to a gemstone-adorned French mani, but "nail crowns" has a much nicer ring to it, don't you think?

Rather than a constellation of gems on the nail plate, nail crowns feature a uniform layer of jewels placed on the tip of the nail right where you'd paint a French tip. "Just outline the smile line," Kandalec explains. She recommends using teeny-tiny gems for a minimal flash of sparkle. "It's a little more chic," she notes.

Of course, we have nothing against full-on Starry Night nails. Glitzy, bedazzled tips will always have their time and place—especially during the festive season—but there's something about a tiny nail crown that just screams taste. "We were having a moment over the summer where jewels were sprinkled randomly around [the nail]," Kandalec adds. "This is more of a precise way to wear them when it's just on the tip."

How to Create Nail Crowns at Home

First things first: Choose your gemstones. Kandalec recommends placing the tiniest jewels in the corners, and gradually going larger, and placing the biggest gem in the centre—a pretty tiara moment! "It's more flush on the sides, and you'll get much longer wear as well," she notes. "A lot of kits nowadays come with multiple sizes [of jewels], so you can do this really easily without having to buy separate sizes." (Don't worry; she recommends some below.)

Once you have your jewels picked out, follow these easy steps.

• Work on one nail at a time. Apply one layer of topcoat on the entire nail plate, then dip a dotting tool into a little bit of topcoat to pick up your gem of choice.
• Place it on top of that wet polish ("It kind of comes up around the gem," Kandalec explains), and hold it into place. Repeat this process until you have your whole nail crown outlined.
• "I usually go back over it with another coat of topcoat so it's really encased in between the two layers," Kandalec adds. Especially if you're using a bigger gem, you'll want to make sure it's secure between those two coats.
• If you're using gel polish, follow a similar format: "Pop that gem right into the uncured gel, cure it, outline it with a little more gel, then cure again," she explains. It's important to add your second layer of gel around the gemstones, not on top of them, as a top layer of gel will dull the jewels' facets.

In terms of colours, feel free to go as minimal or bright as you please. A silver crown is always elegant, or you could opt for an array of colourful sparkles. Kandalec herself is partial to an Elphaba-Glinda moment ("Pink and green are just beautiful colours together, anyway," she shares) or a bold pink-and-black combo.

"I'm someone that really likes colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel—like blue and green, green and purple, red and yellow, pink and purple," she continues. "I think those together are really subtle, and they can be really chic as well." No matter which gems you choose, keep your base polish nude so those sparkles can really make an impact.

More Nail Crown Ideas to Try

If this all sounds terribly time-consuming, don't fret. You can find easier avenues like stickers and press-ons to try. They might not give you as much creative freedom as the DIY method above, but they still look elegant. Find more of Kandalec's tips below.

• Stick-on gems: Kandalec is a fan of Deco Beauty nail stickers, namely Sparkle and '90s Baby. Remember those fun stick-on earrings you played with as a kid? They make incredible nail decals, says Kandalec. (Kylie Jenner agrees, FWIW!)
• Magnetic polish: Cat-eye manis aren't going anywhere, but you can upgrade the look by creating small dots on the tip of the nail with magnetic polish, then waving a magnet over it to achieve that three-dimensional effect. "It gives you that texture to look like a gem without having an actual loose one," Kandalec shares.
• Press-ons: "Press-ons are always fun," she adds. "Kiss has some looks that are already done. … [They're] easy to find, and that's an easy way to wear it as well."
• Glitter polish: You could also just give yourself a glittery French mani and call it a day. The sparkles at the edge of the nail do resemble mini crowns, especially if you use a metallic gold or silver polish.

Since then, I have spent seven years trying to reclaim my previous complexion, and I can count on one hand the number of genuine compliments I have had in relation to my skin throughout that time. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that if you have skin issues right now, I get it—and I will never be frivolous with my handing out of advice as a result. So believe me when I say that the single best thing a skin expert has recommended was to introduce a niacinamide serum into my daily skincare routine.

Despite the fact I have long considered niacinamide to be one of the best ingredients for my skin, it has only been for the past six months or so that I have stuck to my daily niacinamide serum application religiously. There have been previous periods in which I have dabbled in niacinamide application, but it wasn't until one of my go-to facialists seriously recommended it to me last summer that I really stuck with it for a prolonged period of time.

The result? Clearer skin, refined pores, faded scarring, and a generally healthier-looking, more glowing complexion. In fact, for the first time in years I have been receiving compliments on my skin—and by the bucketload, too. Just ten minutes before I sat down to write this story, a colleague pulled me aside to say how great my skin has been looking recently. So what exactly do niacinamide serums do, and why might you need one? I've asked the experts to clear things up.

What Is Niacinamide?

Let's start with the basics. "Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3," says Dr Shendy Engelina, consultant dermatologist and clinical service lead at Dermatica. "As a water-soluble vitamin, the body cannot produce it on its own, so we typically need to obtain it through our diet or skincare. Niacinamide is a key component in many of treatments and can address a wide range of skin concerns, from acne to signs of skin ageing and everything in between."

What Are the Benefits of Using a Niacinamide Serum?

For the most part, niacinamide is considered to be a bit of a wonder ingredient amongst skin experts. "Niacinamide has a number of skin benefits including minimising pore size, evening skin tone, and diminishing dullness, fine lines and wrinkles. Niacinamide also works to reduce inflammation and redness," says Dr Alexis Granite, consultant dermatologist and founder of Joonbyrd.

Due to its impressive anti-inflammatory properties, Dr Engelina says that niacinamide is particularly effective at reducing the appearance of skin conditions "such as acne, rosacea, and eczema". Notably, niacinamide is also considered a somewhat effective ingredient in helping to reduce the appearance of inflammation-related scarring and post-breakout marks.

"Niacinamide is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive, dry, oily, and combination skin. Additionally, it’s gentle enough to be used alongside other active ingredients without causing irritation," adds Dr Engelina.

What Are the Disadvantages of Using a Niacinamide Serum?

For the most part, there shouldn't be much upset from incorporating a niacinamide serum into your routine. However, in a small number of people niacinamide is known to cause some irritation. "Niacinamide is generally very well tolerated. However, rarely niacinamide can cause a flushing reaction and should be discontinued if this occurs," warns Dr Granite.

It is thought, however, that some of this irritation relates to certain formulas and certain routines. "Possible side effects include skin irritation, such as redness or itching, and in some instances, it may lead to sensitivity, particularly when used at high concentrations or combined with other exfoliating actives like acids," reveals Dr Engelina. My advice? Carry out a patch test before committing to a new niacinamide serum to ensure your skin can tolerate it well, and look for gentle formulas to start with.

Can You Use a Niacinamide Serum Every Day?

In short: yes. Niacinamide is considered best applied in serum form to really maximise its effects, and these niacinamide serums can be applied daily. "To maximise absorption, cleanse your face before application. Start with a lower concentration (between 2% and 5%) applied once daily, and gradually increase to twice daily as your skin builds tolerance," advises Dr Engelina.

The best part about using niacinamide serums, in my opinion, is all in their versatility—they are essentially foolproof. "Niacinamide can be layered with other ingredients. It has been shown to boost the hydrating properties of moisturiser and works well alongside ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and fatty acids. It can be used alongside actives such as vitamin C, tranexamic acid, liquorice, and bakuchiol for brightening; as well as with retinol and peptides for collagen boosting and texture improvement," says Dr Granite.

What Is the Most Effective Niacinamide Serum?

To be quite honest with you, I am yet to meet a niacinamide serum that I really dislike. However, having really committed to trying every formula that has come my way, I feel as though I am in a pretty good place to advise your next niacinamide purchase.

While niacinamide is somewhat of a wonder ingredient, it's worth knowing that different serums tend to target slightly different skin concerns. Because niacinamide can be successfully combined with so many different ingredients and actives, the overall formulas of each serum vary greatly. Luckily for you I've tried loads—these are the best niacinamide serums for every skin type and concern.

Whether styled with sharp tailoring or relaxed knitwear, grey skirts have quietly taken over the streets of the most fashionable cities, offering a sophisticated yet wearable alternative to your standard black or beige options. After spotting grey-skirt outfits on chic Parisians on the Left Bank and downtown Manhattanites with a minimalist edge, I couldn't help but notice how this one piece is evolving across different style capitals. Each city's approach to wearing a grey skirt is undeniably distinct, making it one of this season's most versatile pieces.

What makes the grey skirt so compelling is its adaptability. In Paris, it's often paired with clean lines—think midi skirts worn with structured blazers and slingback heels, exuding that effortless elegance the French are known for. Meanwhile, in London, where personal style leans towards the eclectic and experimental, you'll find grey skirts styled with chunky knits and knee-high boots, balancing practicality with trendiness.

In New York, it's all about sleek, workwear-inspired looks, like pencil skirts teamed with white shirts and pointed-toe heels, echoing early ’00s power dressing with a modern twist. Personally, I love a grey maxi skirt for its quiet-luxury appeal. I'll usually wear mine with a fitted cardigan and loafers for a modest, polished look. But after seeing someone in Soho pair a grey maxi with an oversized shirt and trainers, I made a mental note to try something a bit more unexpected next time.

The recent resurgence of grey skirts isn't just a street style phenomenon—it's been reinforced by runway trends too. Miu Miu, Prada and The Row all presented grey skirts in their autumn/winter 2024 collections, each offering a unique take on this understated piece. There's also something nostalgic about this comeback. The early-'00s office siren is back, and grey skirts are leading the charge in bringing that polished office-chic aesthetic to our everyday lives.

Below, I've curated five grey-skirt outfits that are trending right now. Whether you're after a high-street find or a designer investment, there's something for every wardrobe.

5 CHIC WAYS TO WEAR A GREY SKIRT

1. Grey Midi Skirt + Fitted T-Shirt + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: This look is all about balancing simplicity with statement-making footwear. Tuck a fitted tee into a classic grey midi skirt and add knee-high boots for a polished, fashion-forward finish. Perfect for transitional weather, this outfit works well with a trench coat draped over the shoulders for added drama. Opt for a soft jersey or ribbed T-shirt for a comfortable yet flattering fit, whilst tall boots in leather or suede will elevate the outfit and a sleek belt can help define the waist for a more tailored silhouette.

2. Grey Knitted Skirt + Turtleneck + Slingback Heels

Style Notes: A knitted co-ord always looks elevated, and pairing a grey woollen skirt with a matching turtleneck creates a chic, monochromatic look. This outfit is ideal if you want to keep warm without sacrificing style. Keep accessories minimal to let the texture take centre stage. Add slingback heels for a sophisticated touch that keeps the outfit from feeling too casual.

Shop the Look:

3. Grey Herringbone Skirt + Grey Blazer + Mesh Heels

Style Notes: This tonal outfit channels the polished elegance of Parisian street style. A grey herringbone skirt paired with an oversized blazer creates a powerful silhouette, whilst mesh heels keep things fresh and modern. When styling a tonal look, play with textures—mixing thicker fabrics with tailored pieces creates depth.

Shop the Look:

4. Grey Maxi Skirt + Cropped Cardigan + Loafers

Style Notes: For those who lean towards modest dressing, this outfit is a perfect choice. A grey maxi skirt paired with a cropped cardigan offers a modern take on covered-up style. Loafers add a preppy touch that bridges the gap between polished and cool. My tip is to keep the cardigan slightly fitted to balance out the flowy silhouette of the maxi skirt.

Shop the Look:

5. Grey Pencil Skirt + Shirt + Black Heels

Style Note: Channeling early-'00s office style, this outfit features a sleek grey pencil skirt styled with a crisp shirt. It's ideal for workwear but can easily transition into after-hours by adding statement earrings. For a modern twist, consider an oversized shirt tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt. Black heels keep things timeless, but you can also swap them for pointed flats for a more comfortable option.

Shop the Look:

Injecting your current or capsule wardrobe with this luxurious wool is as simple as throwing on a gorgeous cashmere coat, saving the final layer of your outfit for a touch of sophistication, without compromising on cosiness.

Not only has this staple been heralded by Who What Wear UK's editors as one of the best cashmere pieces to own, but it's also graced the shoulders of some of the most stylish women, from Alexa Chung to Adwoa Aboah, making it a modern must-have for the ages.

What is Cashmere?

For the uninitiated, cashmere is sourced from the undercoat of cashmere goats, making it a highly lucrative and increasingly rare material. Not only that, it’s regarded as one of the most lush and supple textiles to shop because of how durable and breathable it is.

While fleece is a catch-all term for any textile taken from mammals, if it's long-lasting and opulent natural fibres you're after, there are plenty of types of wool worth adding to your vocabulary. As a starting point, we'd recommend familiarising yourself with merino wool, which is typically derived from Australia, and mohair, a kind of fabric found on Angora goats.

Are Cashmere Coats Worth it?

When it comes to any new purchase, the first point of call is typically to consider the price. Given the desirability of the material, cashmere coats have traditionally erred on the more expensive side.

While there are plenty of affordable options to shop these days, the purchase still begs the question: Are cashmere coats worth it? When factoring in cost per wear, cashmere boasts the ability to remain in great shape for decades, meaning this is a forever item you really need only purchase once.

Is Cashmere Good for Winter Coats?

While this piece is regarded as the ideal chilly companion and a cornerstone of easy winter outfits, the ultra-fine fibres have made cashmere coats an indispensable part of city dressing, irrespective of the climate or season.

Of course, a cashmere coat is practical enough to survive cold snaps, withstand freezing temperatures and even tackle London’s mercurial downpours. This is because of cashmere's ability to regulate temperature and provide insulation. The fibres are lightweight and trap air, making the silky fabric warm without suffocating.

These qualities alone make it a worthy contender for your new go-to jacket, but the best cashmere coats also offer endless styling options thanks to their versatility and timelessness.

How Long Will a Cashmere Coat Last?

Each season may bring about a new crop of iterations to the market, but one of the best things about cashmere coats is their ability to last the test of time, surviving storms and wet weather with polish and aplomb.

What Do You Wear Under a Cashmere Coat?

Whether you’re trotting to after-work drinks at a wine bar or bracing the morning at your local farmer markets, the elevated silhouette and smooth-as-butter feel ensures you always appear put together.

As for what you can wear under a cashmere coat, the oversized nature of the piece provides endless styling options. For evening outs, pull a cashmere coat over a tailored mini-dress à la Tom Ford’s time at the helm as creative director for Gucci. Slide on top of a pair of ballet flats and a vintage-inspired silk slip dress for a more romantic look.

Or, for those seeking to bring a bit more structure to their street style, opt for a double-breasted design or a cashmere coat that ties at the waist. The most daring pairing comes in the form of matching an elongated cashmere coat with micro shorts and a cropped t-shirt, something we’ve seen It Girls like Camille Charriere gravitate to.

I, for one, love making my cashmere coat the centrepiece of my outfit, adding a simple kitten heel like these pointed-toe python print options from St Agni, one of the best Australian fashion brands, to truly make the outerwear the hero of my look.

With a multitude of styles available at a modest price point, we’ve covered all bases and compiled your comprehensive guide to the best cashmere coats currently available to shop. Bundle up with flair, below.

I think part of the reason these flats look so right with her leggings is because they're the closest shoes you'll find to the actual shoes that are worn in ballet class: leather shoes with elastic straps. Bieber's The Row flats are undoubtedly the luxury version of those ballet class shoes, which she opted for in black leather to complement the black leather trench coat she also wore.

Whether you're looking for shoes to wear to and from your own pilates classes or just want to elevate your leggings to wear them as pants, elastic-strap ballet flats would be a great option, as proven by Bieber. Keep scrolling to shop for a pair of your own.

The outfit Waterhouse wore was in keeping with her signature retro cool-girl style, and she effortlessly made her denim cutoffs winter-appropriate by pairing them with a faux-fur coat, camel sweater, sheer black tights, and Western boots. Honestly, if this outfit doesn't make NYC girls want to wear denim shorts during the winter, I don't know what will. It's that good. I'd say the key pieces here are the cozy fur coat and the tights, but I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to copy the outfit exactly as is.

Though some may dismiss cuffed jeans as "dated," they are undeniably one of the standout denim trends of 2025. Their popularity has surged in recent months, fueled by their prominent appearance in street style and among influential fashion people on social media. It’s evident that cuffed jeans are far from going out of fashion—they're here to stay.

Case in point: Blackpink's Lisa just shared photos from a tropical vacation where she donned a Louis Vuitton logo bikini. Her choice of a revealing swimsuit with an eye-catching logo has left commenters divided, but there's no doubt that her Instagram post is going viral with nine million likes and over 70,000 comments.

Fashion lovers seem to be divided into two camps lately: those who love some flashiness and those who are all in on a logo-less world. As with every other fashion dilemma, there are no right or wrong answers. It always comes down to wearing what you like and what you feel comfortable in.

Satin everything has been everywhere this winter, and I anticipate this will be the case well into spring, so it's not too late to buy into the trend. And if you don't know where to start, take a cue from Sweeney and shop for a short A-line dress in a rich color (like her navy one, which featured a lace deep-V panel). It's one of the easiest ways there is to feel a bit fancy with minimal effort—just whatever you do, don't forget your coat.

A new year calls for new shoes, replacing all those scuffed, scraped, and scratched heels, boots, and flats that you held on to for far too much of 2024 already. If your holidays looked anything like mine though, big investments in footwear aren't exactly in the cards right now. (Buying gifts, going out to dinner, and travel costs really add up.) Fortunately for us, I stumbled upon a gold mine today. That is, H&M's new-in shoe selection, which houses everything from patent-leather peep-toes to boat-ready moccasins. There are also satin ballet flats, classic ankle boots, slingbacks, and so much more. The best part? They're all under $100 and somehow still in stock (for now).

Any regular H&M shopper knows just how quickly the brand's chic new arrivals sell out, so if you know what's good for you, you won't dillydally when it comes to shopping the forthcoming shoe options. Instead, you'll get right to work securing the pairs that appeal to you, which I'm 99% sure will be all of them. Scroll down to get started on your 2025 footwear refresh.

Rabanne, the French fashion house with a 59-year history, is heading into 2025 on a high note. It 1) recently released a brand-new fragrance that has some serious signature-scent potential and 2) announced that global supermodel and all-around It girl Gigi Hadid is the face of it. The fragrance is called Million Gold for Her Eau de Parfum, and it's inspired by "feminity" and "glittering gold success."

Hadid's high-fashion campaign reflects the brand's bold and unapologetic stance on celebrating female success. In one image, she strikes a powerful pose while wearing a crisp, tailored suit. In another, she wears a glittering two-piece set. In yet another, she wears nothing aside from the brand's distinctive XL link jewelry.

Along with the striking images, Rabanne released a brand-exclusive Q&A with Hadid as part of the new fragrance campaign. Keep scrolling to learn more about this new scent and gain an intimate insight into Hadid's world—including info on her personal fragrance preferences, her earliest beauty memory, and why she calls herself a "classic Taurus."

What does Rabanne mean to you as a brand? What do you think the brand stands for?

Rabanne to me is powerful. Powerful, strong, sexy—someone who walks into the room and owns it.

Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, Françoise Hardy have all been Monsieur Rabanne’s muses. How does it feel to be part of that amazing cast of strong, memorable women?

It's crazy! I've been a fan of the brand for so long. They've had so many iconic muses and been such an iconic part of fashion history. To be part of that, and to be able to work with such a great team, is amazing.

How would you describe the Rabanne woman?

Confident, strong, sensual, energized. Powerful.

Rabanne's manifesto is to galvanize the next generation to forge a more creative and inclusive future. Do you share these values?

Of course, totally. I feel like so much of that galvanizing is in encouraging people to find their way of expressing themselves; finding what makes them feel powerful and ready to take on the day. No one wakes up feeling like a million bucks, regardless of who you're talking about. We all have to find the things that we armor ourselves with in order to go out into the world. Fragrance can be such a strong tool for that.

When was the first time you encountered a Rabanne fragrance, and what are your memories of that moment?

An ex of the past wore Rabanne for Men. That was 10, maybe 13 years ago. I think that it reminds me of a young, fun part of my life. I don't know exactly the first time I smelled a Rabanne fragrance, but thinking about it does take me on kind of a time machine; little movie snippets of that time of my life, which is always fun.

How do you choose a fragrance to wear?

When I find something new that I like, I'll wear it on its own for a while. Then it gets added to the collection. Once it gets added to the collection, I might start to mix it with others. That’s almost like emotional alchemy, like you’re trying to figure out how you want to feel that day and the scent that will help you feel that way. Mixing emotions or thoughts inspired by each fragrance is fun.

Different fragrances make me feel different things and make different sides of my personality come out. In general, I love floral, or a floral that’s mixed with something a little bit deeper. Scent tickles parts of your brain. It can be such a great way to express yourself, and when people find ways to express themselves, life becomes so much more fun.

How would you describe Million Gold for Her in three words?

I would say invigorating. I like when something wakes up a part of your brain. My second word would be sexy. And third, I mean, it's hard to just call it floral, because it's more than that. I'm going to go with a "feeling" word more than a descriptive one. I’ll say mystical.

Million Gold for Her is about empowerment and excellence. What does empowerment mean to you?

Empowerment to me is finding yourself and being unafraid to express that in all ways. It’s being unapologetic and knowing your work and your value and not diminishing that based on anyone else's thoughts or what the world tries to put on you.

How do you define excellence?

Excellence is waking up every day and trying to learn something new. It’s never feeling like something is too much to learn. I think excellence is continuing to rise.

How would your friends describe you?

Level-headed. Creative, maybe. I guess this goes with level-headed, but I'm more easygoing and goofier than most people would think.

Do you have a personal mantra?

I don't know if I have a mantra. I think there have been certain parts of my life where I might have used a mantra, or had a certain outlook, but then once I'm past that point… I don't know. I move on. I'm pretty much a classic Taurus, at peace with the rhythm of life, the ups and downs. I see the benefit in both sides. And I'm pretty good at trying to find the lesson in everything. So if I had to name a mantra, I guess it would be "one day at a time."

What do you love about modeling now, as an adult? What’s your favorite sort of work to do? When do you have the most fun? What is the most challenging?

I think what makes it fun now is the contrast—modeling versus being a mom to my daughter. When she's with her dad is when I try to work the most. I have that time to pack in the jobs, and I choose work that means enough to me to fit it in. So I end up with a schedule full of things that are really fulfilling and that I really want to be there for. I’m also lucky to have a co-parenting relationship where when I show up to work, I can really focus on my job and feel like I'm there to give it my all and do the best that I can. Finding that balance made me confident both as a mom and as a model. I was like, "Okay, I can figure this out, and I can be good at all the things I want to be good at." But I think that that can be scary for anyone.

How do you unwind after a hectic week? Do you have any guilty pleasures?

I don't have any guilt for the pleasures that I partake in. Period. But I can really indulge in silence and being by myself. I think that when you're around so many people during the day, you can take on the energy of everyone. So I love to just be at home and light a candle. If there's someone around, play a board game. I love crafty stuff. This is not that calming for most people, but I love a crime documentary. I like to wind down with crime.

What makes you feel beautiful?

Something that I feel good and comfortable in. And also when my friends and loved ones can really see me, and when I feel good and happy. I think other people see me more beautifully then, too.

How would you define beauty at this stage of your life, and how is that different from how you might have defined beauty when you were younger?

I don't know if it's because I'm a Taurus, but I've always felt like my mentality's remained the same throughout all stages of my life. How do I explain it? I've always felt beautiful for the same reasons, like taking care of myself and my well-being and my mental state and the people I surround myself with and the relationships I put myself in. When I'm in a good place and those things are balanced, then I feel beautiful.

What’s your earliest perfume memory?

I can’t remember exactly, but I can picture the bottles. My mom had this beautiful tray of bottles in her bathroom. I wasn't just drawn to spraying them to try the fragrances but was also drawn to the bottles themselves. I think that that was my young brain just being so interested—as it still is now—in creativity and making products and in design. I was interested in how different bottles can make you feel, how seeing the fragrance coming out of it can make you feel. Thinking about perfume now makes me realize I was interested in products and design ever since I was a kid.

What’s your favorite way to wear fragrance?

I put it on my wrists, the front of my chest, my neck area, and then the back of my head, right where my hair meets my neck. I like the idea that when someone hugs me, they’re taking in that scent.

From Paris to L.A., skinny jeans are staging a quiet but undeniable comeback. Instead of leaning into the super-tight styles of the 2010s, these influencers are styling their skinny jeans with an elevated, minimalistic approach that feels so… French.

How do you make skinny jeans feel 2025 ready? The key lies in the styling. Think on-trend jackets, timeless loafers, and subtly sexy tops for good measure. Scroll on to see how French fashion influencers are making skinny jeans cool again.

1. All-Black Outfit

When it comes to styling skinny jeans the Parisian way, an all-black outfit is your ultimate power move. Start with high-waisted black skinny jeans with a slightly cropped hem, and pair them with a fitted black T-shirt or a sleek cashmere sweater for an effortlessly polished base. Add a tailored black jacket or faux-fur outerwear to instantly elevate the look. Voilà—a monochromatic outfit that's anything but boring. It's sophisticated, stylish, and very French.

2. Showing Some Shoulder

If we had to play favorites, this outfit duo would win our vote. Skinny jeans with a side of shoulder is the French-woman secret. We especially love how Sabina Socol styled her tank-and-cardigan set slightly off the shoulder, revealing just a hint of skin. No notes.

3. Mocha Outerwear

From Mocha Mousse (Pantone's color of 2025) to a toasted mocha, it's all about this shade when it comes to the outerwear you style with your skinny jeans. Whether you opt for a dark wash or classic true blue, the combo creates a cozy and chic look. Finish the outfit with a leather belt and silver hardware for the ultimate French vibe.

Shop the look:

4. Loafers Only

In France, women love their loafers, and they love styling the flat-shoe trend with denim. Start with slim black or medium-wash skinny jeans to create a streamlined base and pair them with classic black or colorful leather loafers—bonus points for subtle embellishments like gold hardware. Add a relaxed button-down shirt or an oversize blazer for that quintessential Parisian look.

5. Pretty Open-Front Top

The French always know how to exude just the right amount of sexiness when it comes to their outfits. Case in point: pairing the dated denim with flirty tops that show a hint of midriff. Think tie-front tops, zip-up cardigans, fitted button-down shirts, and more. This combination offers a perfect blend of polished and playful.

Hot take: In my dream world, we would fast-forward through winter and sunny spring weather would greet us as soon as the calendar hits January 1. I like to think of myself as a patient person, but I don't want to wait months to see blooming flowers in Central Park, to wear a miniskirt without freezing, or for it to finally be warm enough to order iced bevies without getting weird looks from strangers. Even though balmy temps aren't exactly in the forecast for the next couple of months, there are still a plethora of new beauty launches that'll bring me enough joy to last me until spring. Keep scrolling to shop the ones I'm absolutely freaking out over—including Chanel's just-released spring makeup collection and Prada's dreamy new fragrance.

That’s exactly the revelation I had when I encountered my first chain belt. After spotting a series of chic outfits featuring this metallic marvel, I found myself questioning how I'd gone without one for so long.

Adding texture, dimension and a touch of metallic sheen, a chain belt can instantly elevate even the simplest outfits. Whether worn around the waist of a tailored blazer, looped through jeans or cinching a flowy dress, this trend offers more versatility than you might have imagined.

Bridging the gap between edgy and elegant, chain belts have a unique ability to energise an outfit. Pairing beautifully with everything from classic jeans or tailored trousers to more eclectic pieces like maxi dresses and boho skirts, chain belts are a surprisingly adaptable wardrobe addition.

Whilst this accessory trend has recently caught my attention, whispers of its revival have been building for some time. On the spring/summer 2025 runways, several designers embraced the chain belt as a standout piece. Adding a relaxed touch to their collections, this trend brings a soft bohemian energy to waist-cinching, offering a fresh alternative to the more structured leather belt.

One notable highlight came from Chemena Kamali’s debut collection for Chloé, where the golden chain belt—emblazoned with the Chloé logo—made a triumphant return, building on its initial success from its debut the previous season. Meanwhile, Miu Miu brought its signature playful edge to the trend, layering multiple chain belts within a single look. Styled over structured leather pieces, the layered effect added a whimsical touch to even their most polished ensembles.

I’m not ready to part ways with my trusty leather belts, but the addition of a chain belt has been a game-changer for revitalising some of my most worn pieces.

Enter Autry, a label quietly but confidently carving out its place in the trainer world. Known for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and understated charm, the brand delivers shoes that feel both nostalgic and modern. And I have to assume it's because of this that Autry’s trainers have caught the eye of actor and style icon Katie Holmes, who has been reaching for these just-under-the-radar trainers on repeat across the weekend.

A master at identifying a surefire trend before it's taken off, Holmes has been weaving Autry’s classic Medalist Low Leather Sneakers (170) into her off-duty looks a lot lately. Pairing them with blue jeans and a fuzzy sheepskin coat on chillier days, she also styled her chic trainers with relaxed denim, a plaid shirt, and a warm beanie when the weather allowed.

Cutting through the noise of the colourful trainer trend that's seen people pack away their simple styles in favour of yellow, red and blue alternatives, Holmes’s choice of Autry’s clean white pair proves that there's still an appetite for a classic trainers this season. Chunky but not overwhelming, these trainers feel refreshingly timeless in a market awash with fleeting, trend-driven designs.

Priced at £170, Autry trainers sit alongside other cult-favourite labels. While they may not be the cheapest option, their versatility ensures an impressive cost-per-wear potential—making them a smart investment that’s likely to outlast many other pairs in your wardrobe.

As a gym-goer and reformer Pilates devotee, I'm no stranger to the allure of activewear that strikes a balance between performance and style. Whilst I typically stick to leggings and sleek trainers for indoor workouts, my friend—a dedicated runner who braves the outdoors year-round—can always be found in a lightweight jacket and breathable tank.

It's no secret that activewear has undergone a high-fashion makeover over the past few years. Remember when that Off-White X Nike collaboration hit the runway, and suddenly jogging bottoms were being paired with designer coats? Athleisure's runway takeover cemented its place in everyday wardrobes, and now, the line between performance gear and street style has never been more blurred. Whether you're reaching for a pair of high-performance running shoes from new favourites On, or a retro-inspired, insulated jacket that doubles as a chic layering piece by Adidas, today's jogging outfits are about more than just comfort—they're a style statement in their own right.

I believe style is just as crucial as functionality, whatever kind of exercise you do. That being said, the activewear pieces I look to must meet a few key criteria: they need to be breathable and flexible, provide support where needed and offer weather-appropriate layering options. Breathable fabrics with moisture-wicking properties are non-negotiable; they help regulate body temperature and keep you dry rather than sweaty, and proper support is equally important, especially when it comes to leggings and sports bras, as they provide the stability and compression needed for comfortable high-impact movement.

Flexibility is another top priority—no one wants to feel restricted mid-run—so opting for pieces with four-way stretch ensures you can move freely without any uncomfortable pulling or pinching. Lastly, I always consider the weather: a sporty windbreaker is perfect for cool, breezy days, whilst an insulated jacket is essential for winter jogs. Shorts with built-in liners and tanks with mesh panels also make a big difference during summer runs. In short, finding pieces that balance technical performance with comfort is the key to building an athleisure wardrobe that works for every season and activity.

With that in mind, I've put together four jogging outfits that perfectly marry fashion and function. From streamlined leggings and form-fitting tees to thermal tops and sleek running shorts, these outfit formulas cater to every type of runner, whether you're training for an event or just jogging the dog around the block.

Scroll on for four solid jogging-outfit combinations, and trust me: you'll want to wear these beyond your runs.

1. Form-Fitting T-Shirt + Leggings + Trainers

Style Notes: It goes without saying that leggings are a go-to staple for most of us, especially for those who go running in the cooler months. Whether you go for high-waisted styles for added support or moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you dry, pair them with a fitted T-shirt for a streamlined silhouette and finish with lightweight trainers. ON's Cloud shoes are my top pick, as they offer just the right amount of cushioning for high-impact movement.

Shop the Look:

2. Insulated Jacket + T-Shirt + Fitted Shorts + Trainers

Style Notes: For those cooler days when a bit of extra warmth is needed, an insulated jacket is your best friend. Sweaty Betty's Pro Run jacket is made from a lightweight insulated material that makes jogging in the coldest weather feel doable. Pair it with fitted running shorts and a classic T-shirt for a functional outfit that will keep you comfortable from start to finish.

Shop the Look:

3. Sweatshirt + Long-Sleeved T-Shirt + Joggers + Trainers

Style Notes: On those crisp mornings when you need a bit more coverage, jogging bottoms paired with a long-sleeved tee and sweatshirt provides warmth without sacrificing mobility. Consider Sporty & Rich when you want a chic athleisure brand that'll still work for your runs—the outfit below works well for everything from a quick jog to a leisurely weekend walk.

Shop the Look:

4. Lightweight Jacket + Tank + Running Shorts + Trainers

Style Notes: If you prefer a minimalist look whilst jogging, running shorts and a sleek tank are a classic combo, with a lowkey jacket to protect against the elements. Let's just take a moment for the Alo Yoga trainers— they're super supportive and have plenty of sole cushioning, but the espresso colour is what sold me.

I'm sure some people wouldn't want to admit it, but I know I'm not alone in this, so I came up with another way to pass the time until the season opener in Australia that perfectly balances my obsessions with fashion and the sport. Below, you'll discover all the fashion trends I spotted in the F1 paddock during the 2024 season on WAGs, high-profile attendees, and, of course, seven-time World Champion and 2025 Met Gala co-chair Lewis Hamilton—from Lily Muni He's Hermès Bolide on Wheels at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to Caroline Daur's Miu Miu motorcycle boots in Monaco. Scroll down for a perfect distraction this offseason.

Maison Margiela Tabi Ankle-Strap Pumps

On Lily Muni He: Maison Margiela Tabi Ankle Strap Pump ($1150); Hermès bag

If you ask me, professional golfer Lily Muni He is the best dressed WAG and probably the second best dressed person in the entire paddock weekend after weekend. (I bet you can guess the first.) Why? You can tell she genuinely appreciates fashion. She dons unique, hard-to-find pieces, like vintage Miu Miu and Chanel in Monaco and JW Anderson's iconic Pigeon Bag during an Italian vacation in August with her partner, Williams driver Alex Albon, ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. Her most iconic paddock fashion moment came at the end of the season in Abu Dhabi, when she styled Maison Margiela ankle-strap Tabis with a white minidress and the very limited-edition Hermès Bolide on Wheels Bag from 2023.

Rhode Lip Case

On Alexandra Saint Mleux: Zimmermann Eden Handkerchief Dress ($790); Jimmy Choo Ixia 80 Garnet Patent Leather Pumps ($975); Bottega Veneta bag; Rhode Fall Lip Case ($38)

Monaco-based artist and content creator Alexandra Saint Mleux—who's been dating Scuderia Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc publicly since early 2023—made Rhode's Lip Case a regular sighting in the F1 paddock this season, always keeping her Peptide Lip Tint on call during race weekends. It was perfect, then, that Hailey Bieber selected her as the face of a "matching phone case" campaign in November. (That's called smart marketing.) Saint Mleux's paddock 'fits almost always feature the viral case in one of its four color options, and she often coordinates it with her ensemble. At the Singapore Grand Prix in September, she chose a sheer, baby-blue Zimmermann dress, pairing it with a matching Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie bag and burgundy Jimmy Choo pumps.

Vintage Levi's 501 Jeans + Hermès Oran Sandals

On Kika Cerqueira Gomes: Gucci Jackie Small Shoulder Bag ($3800); Levi's 501 '90s Jeans ($98); Hermès Oran Sandals ($800)

Content creator Kika Cerqueira Gomes has mastered the art of casual elegance in the F1 paddock, a fact that was proven on the first day of practice ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. She arrived to the track in a billowy button-down shirt, vintage Levi's, and matching cognac-brown accessories in a Gucci Jackie bag and Hermès Oran Sandals. As someone who witnessed her debut this look up close, I can confidently say that it was even better in person than it appears here. She was cool, calm, and collected—the complete opposite of her partner, French Alpine driver Pierre Gasly, and his entire team after he raced his number 10 car to a spectacular podium in Brazil this season. (I was equally elated, but I cried tears of joy from my apartment in New York, not São Paulo.)

Miu Miu Moto Boots

On Caroline Daur: Cult Gaia top; Gucci skirt; Celine sunglasses; Hermès bag; Miu Miu Leather Boots ($2550)

When I asked German fashion and fitness influencer Caroline Daur for a 'fit check before the Monaco Grand Prix, I didn't actually need her to tell me. I recognized and envied everything about her look, from her Celine sunglasses to her Hermès Kelly bag to her Miu Miu motorcycle boots that I've been dreaming about since they debuted on the F/W 22 runway. Daur has become a regular on the F1 circuit, and because of her close relationship with Tag Heuer, she'll likely continue to grow her presence now that the watch brand is returning as the official timekeeper of Formula One in 2025. (Fun fact: Tag Heuer was the first luxury brand to appear on an F1 car way back in 1969.)

Baby Pink

On Lewis Hamilton: Marni jacket, pants, and shoes; Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses; Polite Worldwide necklaces

Lewis Hamilton doesn't wear viral items—he makes them go viral. He does, however, lean into trends in his own way with his iconic paddock 'fits week after week. For the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton and his stylist Eric McNeal worked with Marni to create a custom baby-pink jacket-and-pant set (despite the May heat and humidity in Miami) inspired by a look from the brand's F/W 24 collection, according to renowned Lewis Hamilton outfit ID'er @hamazinglew aka Rashi Gaur. He accessorized with Marni shoes, Jacques Marie Mage eyewear, and Polite Worldwide necklaces. Baby pink was the color trend the season in the spring/summer 2025 runway collections, showing up at Alaïa, Khaite, Valentino, Carven, Chanel, and more throughout September and early October. This fact makes Hamilton's ensemble all the way back in May even more genius. I'm not saying he inspired designers to lean into the pastel shade, but I'm not not saying that either…

Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers

If the baby-pink Speedcats above aren't your color of choice, don't fret. With Puma being the official supplier of merchandise for F1, you know the brand has a massive presence in the sport, so it was no surprise to see its viral motorsport-inspired Speedcat sneakers all over the paddock this season in a variety of colors. The sneaker brand especially leaned into the Las Vegas Grand Prix, hosting editors, influencers, and celebrities—many of whom styled their Speedcats throughout the weekend. One such person was Ashley Graham, who wore a black version with slouchy black trousers, a leopard-print bra, and a sheer shirt on top. Immaculate.

Alaïa Le Coeur Bag

On Kelly Piquet: Alaïa Le Coeur Leather Shoulder Bag ($1400)

Though Alaïa's Le Teckel bag is the one everyone's talking about at the moment, it's the long beloved heart-shaped Le Coeur bag that appeared in the paddock this season at the Italian Grand Prix, carried by content creator and model Kelly Piquet. She wore the black version for a walk through the pit lane and styled it in a very effortless, Italian-inspired manner—with a belted white shirt, a matching midi skirt, and flat sandals.

Bulgari Serpenti Watch

On Muni He: Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas Watch ($9900)

Luxury watches are a dime a dozen in the F1 paddock. Practically every F1 team has its own watch sponsor, so the drivers and team principals are rarely without their high-end timepieces—unless they're inside the cockpit. In this case, they might even have a picture of their watch printed on their gloves. Mercedes works with IWC, Ferrari and McLaren are partnered with Richard Mille, and Red Bull's sponsor is Tag Heuer. Outside of the teams, race weekend attendees in the paddock are often decked out in their finest timekeepers, from Rolex Day-Dates to Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks. My favorite watch wearer, though? Muni He, who regularly shows up to the track in her Bulgari Serpenti watch. Here, she wore it with a white halter top and slouchy trousers in Abu Dhabi, undoubtedly inciting an abundance of jealousy throughout the paddock.

Saint Laurent Leopard-Print Bag

On Saint Mleux: Saint Laurent Le 5 À 7 Supple Small Bag ($2500)

Last but certainly not least is Leo, the dachshund that stole the entire F1 community's heart this season when he was adopted by Saint Mleux and Leclerc. Just kidding—I'm here to talk about Saint Mleux's bag, one of 2024's most viral and sought-after styles. Throughout the Italian Grand Prix weekend in August, she carried the Saint Laurent leopard-print Le 5 à 7 bag, which ended up quickly selling out upon its arrival in stores and online. The style was also spotted on Laura Harrier, Zoë Kravitz, and Hailey Bieber, and the similar Bea shape was seen on Kate Moss in Paris. Unfortunately, there's a wait list for anyone wanting to get their hands on the bags, but the French fashion house did recently release a weekender version in the same leopard-print pony-hair fabric that's available to purchase right away.

Basics are typically considered the backbone of a wardrobe given their ease and versatility. Go-to basics for many (myself included) are items like white T-shirts, straight-leg jeans, and so on. There are also staples that are considered “next-level basics,” or as I’m referring to here as “beautiful basics.” These pieces are still versatile and can be styled with a range of pieces but have design features that feel particularly refined.

Below, I rounded up four gorgeous basics because of elegant silhouettes and trend-forward fabrics. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration and a range of shopping recommendations if you want to add one or all of the basics to your closet in 2025.

Tailored Blazer

A tailored blazer or a cinched-in silhouette is inherently sharp yet pretty. You can team one with anything—from jeans to a skirt—and your look will be forward and elegant.

Beige Cardigan

Yes, beige is chic. There's something subtly beautiful and effortless about a more fitted beige cardigan when styled with other elevated selects like a textured skirt or trousers.

Suede Trench

The fashion crowd will continue to embrace suede trench coats in 2025. While certainly in the "next-level basics" category, this style is quite versatile. You could literally toss a suede trench over any outfit and look instantly chic.

Short-Sleeve Turtleneck

Yes, a classic turtleneck is always polished, but a short-sleeve style or one at elbow length feels so pretty and regal. It's also a fantastic transitional piece into spring.

The thing is, not all moisturisers will cut it when you're up against a combination of dry skin, central heating, harsh winds, and icy temperatures. In my experience—and having spent the winter testing and trying as many moisturisers I could get my hands on—the best hydrating moisturisers for dry skin are often the most basic ones. That's right, ignore the bells and whistles, leave the brightening and boosting to your serums, and look for the face creams that focus primarily on one thing and one thing only—hydration.

Dry skin develops when your skin loses water too quickly and becomes dehydrated—so to remedy this, it's important to not only add moisture back into skin, but to ensure that it's sealed in and can't escape. For this reason, dry skin will respond better to thick creams, which add hydration in via ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, but seal it in with the likes of squalane and ceramides.

What should you look out for in moisturisers for dry skin?

As a general rule, when it comes to texture, the thicker the better. Rich cream and balm formulas will provide the nourishment that dry skin needs. In addition, look out for ingredients like ceramides, omegas, squalane, and hyaluronic acid—proven hydrators that provide deep and lasting moisture.

It's also important to remember that you'll get the most out of your moisturiser if you're applying it to damp skin, so use a hydrating face mist and serum before applying your moisturiser.

What should you avoid in moisturisers for dry skin?

Light, gel-textured moisturisers may not provide the level of hydration that dry skin needs. If a moisturiser absorbs too quickly this is a sign that your skin probably needs something richer and thicker.

“I describe OPI Black Cherry Chutney as a deep, vampy plum with a hint of cherry undertone and a touch of shimmer,” says Jessica White, Pro Nail Artist & Educator. “It has that classic, polished feel while still being eye-catching thanks to the way that it catches the light.”

And while it looks beautiful as a block colour nail, look, it makes for a versatile shade if you prefer a more minimalist manicure too. “OPI Black Cherry Chutney works beautifully for French tips paired with OPI’s Bare My Soul as the base,” explains White. “It also looks lovely as a cuff design [also known as a reverse French manicure] for a subtle but striking result.”

But while the experts might rave about it, and I love how it looks on other people’s nails, I’m notoriously rigid in my own nail choices and always opt for a classic bright red manicure when I get my nails done. However, in the interest of beauty research, I picked up a bottle of OPI Black Cherry Chutney for my own at-home manicure this week. But what did I think?

My honest review of the OPI Black Cherry Chutney nail polish

This is definitely a deep manicure colour—in fact, at first glance I'd say that it looks almost black. However, the magic of OPI Black Cherry Chutney is that it transforms in the light. A true blood red with a hint of plum, it looks purple in some lights and almost black in others, but the flecks of shimmer give the nails an almost iridescent gleam that look so expensive.

When it catches the light these nails illuminate and the flecks of gold and pearly shiner really do take centre stage. For this reason I can see this being the kind of colour that I’d reach for for special occasions and nights out, but it's so versatile that it's also made the cut as my first at-home manicure of 2025. I have to say, now that I’ve taken a walk on the dark side I’m not sure that I’ll be able to go back.

Recently, the bag trend that I'm finding European women have similar feelings about (that feeling being love) is leopard-print bags, a trend that U.S. celebrities have already been embracing. I've spotted European women styling them with everything from casual weekend outfits to dressed-up special-occasion looks to classic office-ready attire. It just goes to show how surprisingly versatile and wearable the loud trend is. Leopard-print everything is trending right now, but it's bags that Europe-based fashion people find to be the best way to wear the trend.

I kick myself daily because I didn't invest in this Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 Supple bag before it sold out.

Another fast sellout was Prada's east-west bag.

A leopard-print clutch with a polished outfit is one of the chicest ways you can wear the trend.

Having spent enough hours in these comfortable flats to know for sure that they're something I'll always come back to, this year I'm considering expanding my collection. Tempted by the chic shades that have trended over the past month, I've gone on a mission to track down the chicest loafer colour trends that have been circulating this season.

Read on to discover the colour trends to shop right now.

6 LOAFER COLOUR TRENDS I KEEP SEEING ON FASHION PEOPLE

1. WHITE

Style Notes: Fresh and vibrant, a crisp white loafer can add lightness and brightness to a heavy winter outfit without feeling out of place or seasonally pre-emptive. Best to reserve for brighter, mud-free days, this elegant flat feels grown-up and polished, without looking too serious.

SHOP WHITE LOAFERS:

2. RED

Style Notes: The red colour trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down, and one of my favourite ways to wear the shade is in the form of a bright red shoe. Adding a flush of colour, without overwhelming your look, this clever pairing can energise your styling with ease.

3. GOLD

Style Notes: Metallic gold shades were heavyweight players on the spring/summer 2025 runways—paving the way for the trend to take over later this year. I'm looking to get ahead of the forthcoming influx by shopping for a chic pair of gold loafers right now.

SHOP GOLD LOAFERS:

4. BURGUNDY

Style Notes: Most of the time I keep the colour palette of my wardrobe neutral and easy—only occasionally incorporating a splash of colour, but one of the shades I'll always have space for is a rich burgundy hue. Expensive-looking and elegant, this grown-up colour is so easy to slip into a capsule wardrobe.

5. BROWN

Style Notes: A welcome alternative to the greys and beiges that often dominate a winter wardrobe, a swash of chocolate brown can instil your outfit with a rich depth that other neutrals can't match.

SHOP BROWN LOAFERS:

6. BLACK

Style Notes: A classic for a reason, simple black loafers are a wardrobe essential I'll never tire of. Styling well with a crisp white sock for an ultra-polished finish, and wearing equally well sans socks with shorts or a skirt, the wardrobe chameleon is one of the most important items in my collection.

SHOP BLACK LOAFERS:

There's arguably no nail design more elegant or timeless than simple French tips. They flatter any nail shape and length, making you look instantly polished, and there are myriad ways you can play—from rainbow-topped manis to mix-and-match prints. The classic look will always have a place in my heart, but I'll see your French tip and raise you a nail crown, a design that has been hot since the festive season and is showing no signs of cooling off.

If you love French manis, trust me. You're going to fall head over heels for this trending iteration. (I, for one, have been obsessed since spotting it in WWW associate beauty editor Maya Thomas's nail inspiration guide.) The tiny tweak ramps up the elegance by 1000%. But don't just take my word for it! Below, celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec spills all the details you need to know.

What are nail crowns, and why are they trending in 2025?

The name says it all—chic, tiny crowns for your nails. Yes, that basically refers to a gemstone-adorned French mani, but "nail crowns" has a much nicer ring to it, don't you think?

Rather than a constellation of gems on the nail plate, nail crowns feature a uniform layer of jewels placed on the tip of the nail right where you'd paint a French tip. "Just outline the smile line," Kandalec explains. She recommends using teeny-tiny gems for a minimal flash of sparkle. "It's a little more chic," she notes.

Of course, we have nothing against full-on Starry Night nails. Glitzy, bedazzled tips will always have their time and place—especially during the holidays—but there's something about a tiny nail crown that just screams taste. "We were having a moment over the summer where jewels were sprinkled randomly around [the nail]," Kandalec adds. "This is more of a precise way to wear them when it's just on the tip."

How to Create Nail Crowns at Home

First things first: Choose your gemstones. Kandalec recommends placing the tiniest jewels in the corners, and gradually going larger, and placing the biggest gem in the center—a pretty tiara moment! "It's more flush on the sides, and you'll get much longer wear as well," she notes. "A lot of kits nowadays come with multiple sizes [of jewels], so you can do this really easily without having to buy separate sizes." (Don't worry; she recommends some below.)

Once you have your jewels picked out, follow these easy steps.

• Work on one nail at a time. Apply one layer of topcoat on the entire nail plate, then dip a dotting tool into a little bit of topcoat to pick up your gem of choice.
• Place it on top of that wet polish ("It kind of comes up around the gem," Kandalec explains), and hold it into place. Repeat this process until you have your whole nail crown outlined.
• "I usually go back over it with another coat of topcoat so it's really encased in between the two layers," Kandalec adds. Especially if you're using a bigger gem, you'll want to make sure it's secure between those two coats.
• If you're using gel polish, follow a similar format: "Pop that gem right into the uncured gel, cure it, outline it with a little more gel, then cure again," she explains. It's important to add your second layer of gel around the gemstones, not on top of them, as a top layer of gel will dull the jewels' facets.

In terms of colors, feel free to go as minimal or bright as you please. A silver crown is always elegant, or you could opt for an array of colorful sparkles. Kandalec herself is partial to an Elphaba-Glinda moment ("Pink and green are just beautiful colors together, anyway," she shares) or a bold pink-and-black combo.

"I'm someone that really likes colors that are next to each other on the color wheel—like blue and green, green and purple, red and yellow, pink and purple," she continues. "I think those together are really subtle, and they can be really chic as well." No matter which gems you choose, keep your base polish nude so those sparkles can really make an impact.

More Nail Crown Ideas to Try

If this all sounds terribly time-consuming, don't fret. You can find easier avenues like stickers and press-ons to try. They might not give you as much creative freedom as the DIY method above, but they still look elegant. Find more of Kandalec's tips below.

• Stick-on gems: Kandalec is a fan of Deco Beauty nail stickers, namely Sparkle and '90s Baby. Remember those fun stick-on earrings you played with as a kid? They make incredible nail decals, says Kandalec. (Kylie Jenner agrees, FWIW!)
• Magnetic polish: Cat-eye manis aren't going anywhere, but you can upgrade the look by creating small dots on the tip of the nail with magnetic polish, then waving a magnet over it to achieve that three-dimensional effect. "It gives you that texture to look like a gem without having an actual loose one," Kandalec shares.
• Press-ons: "Press-ons are always fun," she adds. "Kiss has some looks that are already done. … [They're] easy to find, and that's an easy way to wear it as well."
• Glitter polish: You could also just give yourself a glittery French mani and call it a day. The sparkles at the edge of the nail do resemble mini crowns, especially if you use a metallic gold or silver polish.
