Trousers are a year-round staple, this we know, but the time they prove themselves to be most useful, in my humble opinion, is in spring. During the winter, black tights, skirts and knee boots serve as my go-to, while summer is all about lightweight dresses in linen and cotton. For spring, with its inconsistent temperatures

You ProbablyNeed More Most adults would benefit from eating more than the recommended daily intake of 56 grams, says Donald Layman, Ph.D., a professor emeritus of nutrition at the University of Illinois. The benefit goes beyond muscles, he says: Protein dulls hunger and can help prevent obesity, diabetes and heart disease. So how much do
If it seems like all anyone can talk about lately is spring—or, more specifically, their spring wardrobes—you’re not the only one who’s noticed. And for someone who has pretty minimalist taste, I always find navigating the realm of spring colours a huge undertaking. It’s not for lack of inspiration, as the S/S ’24 shows were
Mastering Grind Size & Consistency The grind size of your coffee beans significantly impacts the extraction process and is directly related to the type of equipment used in brewing your coffee. For instance, French Press and Pour Over requires a coarse, chunkier grind. Your drip coffee brewers need a medium grind (the size of kosher
As someone whose wardrobe is comprised almost solely of capsule wardrobe staples, when I stumbled upon Marks & Spencer‘s new single breasted blazer I couldn’t keep it to myself. A lightweight yet smart style, the blazer features a singular button closure, two side pockets and a neat but relaxed silhouette. Available in grey, black and
There’s nothing particularly wrong with having a go-to cologne. After all, the heart (and the nose) wants what it wants, right? And there’s something to be said for having a signature scent. One that you can rely on or that people associate with you. But then again, there is a phenomenon known as “nose blindness,”
Usurping its fiery younger sister, the burgundy fashion trend is set to take the lead this spring. In a more agreeable and grown-up tone to the letterbox reds that dominated last summer, this sophisticated shade has been creeping up all around us as of late. In the form of elegant handbags and slingback shoes, the
Winter has been long and the weather has been pretty tough. Spring is on the way, but spring break is even closer. If you don’t have a seasonal vacation planned yet, then let this be your sign to book a trip somewhere. But before you leave, make sure you grab some fresh gear to upgrade
There’s nothing I love more than unearthing a fresh classic designer buy and spring’s chicest comes in bag form. Spotted in the clutches of fashion people in Paris and New York, Savette‘s symmetry bag is the new fashion favourite that’s rivalling heritage styles in the graceful stakes. Cut to a neat rectangle shape, the graceful
Our lives move pretty fast these days. Things have never been more convenient, so we’re constantly finding new ways to optimize the day-to-day. We have so many subscriptions and life hacks, we’re able to breeze through life without feeling like mundane chores are “slowing us down.” The downside to moving so fast is that your
For the longest time, the item that dominated my wardrobe was dresses. Being 5′ 3″ and a true hourglass shape, I always found it hard to find the right sort of trouser fit. Slim-fit styles would often pull across my tights while simultaneously gaping at the waist. Wide-leg styles would swamp me and be at
Your Face Frequency: Two to three times a week If you really want to see improvement in the texture and clarity of your skin, start exfoliating your face. By clearing away the dead skin cells, you uncover the fresh, healthy ones underneath while kickstarting the cell renewal process. That all translates to clearer, brighter, smoother
I honestly don’t know what I wore during summer before Reformation existed (or year-round for that matter). The highly influential and beloved brand remains as popular as ever, and we’re reaching the time of year when everyone will be trying to get their hands on summery Ref dresses for sunny vacations, parties, and everything in
It’s not exactly a pleasant experience, encountering someone who’s basically having a meltdown. Maybe they’re justifiably angry or only mildly upset or perhaps even in the throes of a panic attack. But a gentleman always takes control of a situation. It might not be your job, but everyone will be better off if you help
Like most the leading items, silhouettes, and trends defining spring 2024 style, what’s old is new again. We’ve been seeing a number of retro styles reemerging whether they be pretty A-line dresses or sophisticated east-west handbags and now there’s one more were adding to the growing list of trends that are plucked right out of
Maybe it’s generational. Because a proper introduction feels like something of a bygone era. Like three-martini lunches or smoking in the office. It’s just not something we do all that regularly. Of course, there are lots of upsides to today’s casualness. You feel less burdened by arbitrary rules and expectations, you can practically wear whatever
