Predicting what new-in Zara items will or will not sell out and how long it will take for the former to happen is a rather helpful skill I’ve come to possess over the last decade or so working in fashion. Call it my sixth sense. One scroll through the retailer’s latest arrivals page is all

Look, at some point, a large overstuffed wallet stops making sense. You don’t need randome receipts or a stack of loyalty cards you’ll never use. A modern man requires just the essentials. That’s where the leather card case comes in. Slim, clean and built to be carried in any pocket, it’s the kind of upgrade
I own 13 pairs of jeans—trust me, I counted twice. The Agolde 80’s Jean is my most recent addition. When it comes to denim, I’m always on the lookout for a new silhouette. So, when I tried on the tapered denim, I was certain I had nothing like it in my closet. It looked and

London’s restaurant scene has always had a certain allure. Whether it’s the old-world glamour of Mayfair’s fine-dining institutions, the cool, experimental charm of East London’s culinary hotspots, or the effortlessly stylish haunts of Soho, dining out in this city is as much about the aesthetic and atmosphere as it is about the food. And in
You’ve might’ve clocked it at your place of employment but office style has been loosening up. We’re not talking about sad business casual or sweats-on-a-Zoom-call kind of way. The shift is more subtle, driven by proportion and ease. Wider trousers replace standard styles or anything too slim, jackets are cut a little shorter to balance

I recently asked my mother what she wanted for Mother’s Day. Jokingly (or maybe not?), she said Chanel. FYI, little does she know (and I’m hoping she doesn’t read this) that I purchased the heavenly Chanel Chance hand soap. I have it in my powder room, and she always compliments it, so I thought it

Vintage shopping in Tokyo is, without exaggeration, my personal Olympics. I train for it (mentally), I map it out obsessively, and I absolutely expect to win. By “win,” I mean walking away with at least one perfect, slightly unhinged, impossibly good find that makes the entire trip worth it. I go to Japan almost every

There’s a new metallic in town. While fashion people have always loved silver and gold designs (and always will), Kerry Washington just demonstrated that copper is the next big, shiny trend to hit the red carpet. Recently, Washington took the stage to accept the Courage Award at the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s gala. While the

I realise that might sound like a bold take, but the ubiquitous jeans-and-trainers pairing has never quite sat right with me. There’s something about the way denim bunches around a chunky sole that, on me at least, never, ever looks polished. In contrast, black leggings offer a cleaner, more streamlined base that lets your trainers
To fully get it, you have to understand where Kojima came from. Growing up, his formative influences weren’t zen gardens and meticulous raked gravel, they were music, skateboarding and tattoos. “At the root of everything was street culture,” he says, thinking back. Deeply influenced by American culture, he was the kind of kid who understood
When it comes to handbags, the options can feel surprisingly binary. On one end, you have the ultra-luxury heavyweights, The Rows and the Chanels of the handbag world; the forever pieces that come with a four-figure price tag. On the other, high-street styles that look the part, but don’t always go the distance. If, like
Have you noticed more and more solid fragrances on the market? So have we, but there’s a reason these solid colognes are taking off. They’re discreet, portable and just a little more intentional than a traditional spray—something you apply, not announce. The waxy formulas sink in and hang on the skin, creating a more subtle,
If you’re searching for a one-step upgrade to your spring wardrobe, my best tip is to ease away from jeans and trainers and towards a more polished two-piece: cream satin trousers and sandals. Whilst denim will always be a dependable staple, it simply can’t match the inherent elegance of a fluid, glossy pair of trousers—especially
