The ultimate winter coat guide – from £75
The winter chill may not have fully set in yet, but now is the time to think about coats. At Marks & Spencer, online searches for “women’s coats” are up 400 per cent year on year. Aligne’s George wrap coat has just been restocked for the season, having sold out three times last autumn after Sienna Miller was seen wearing it. If there’s a style that you want, you need to move quickly, or risk missing out.

Helen Mirren has found the perfect party dressing formula at 81 – here’s how to recreate it
While most of us are focused on Hallowe’en, some A-listers have bypassed the witching hour entirely. For Dame Helen Mirren, at least, party season simply cannot come too early – as evidenced by her latest stunning red-carpet look.
‘A form of anti-status status’ – how much would you pay for a plain tote bag?
The ubiquitous carrier has been given a four-figure makeover. But why has an everyday bag associated with running errands and US supermarkets become so aspirational?

All the hits and misses from the new John Lewis x Rixo collection
John Lewis has had mixed success with its past fashion collaborations. There’s no issue with the partner brands (Awake Mode, Rejina Pyo), but they didn’t quite capture the zeitgeist or hype up the high street super-fans as effectively as M&S x Bella Freud or Victoria Beckham x Gap.

Jess Cartner-Morley on fashion: don’t want to get your Big Winter Coat out just yet? Try ‘onion dressing’
It’s time to learn the art of layering – and we’re talking a crew neck with a ballet wrap and blazer, not full-on outdoor explorer
Old-fashioned powders are back – and this time, they’re not cakey
If you told me a year ago I’d be enthusiastically pressing loose powder on my skin every morning as a final step of my make-up, I wouldn’t have believed you. I have long thought of powder as old-fashioned and cakey, and a one-way ticket to a matte, flat complexion.
After 15 years of wearing thongs, I’ve finally converted to granny pants
I recently counted the number of thongs in my underwear drawer. There are 73. That figure doesn’t include the dozen or so still stashed away in my childhood bedroom (“for emergencies”). Besides revealing a concerning inability to let go of old knickers – and, for that matter, something of a shopping problem – the sheer volume is proof of a devotion to barely-there underwear that has lasted almost half my life.

Annabel Croft shows more is more when it comes to mother-of-the-bride glamour
There is no woman more scrutinised for her fashion at a wedding – after the bride, of course – than her mother. Indeed, the mother of the bride has the nigh-on-impossible job of dressing both tastefully and stylishly for her age, and appropriately for the considerable role she has in the wedding, without ever actually overshadowing her daughter. It’s no mean feat.
Make-up tips for glasses wearers
Despite quite a significant prescription for short sightedness, I’ve always disliked wearing my glasses. Not only are the frames themselves uncomfortable on my face no matter what style I try, but having something extra on my sweat-and-oil-prone skin is a constant irritation. Adding make-up into the equation then, is frankly, a recipe for disaster as it forces me to rethink everything from product formulation to blusher and mascara application.
How to make your skin look and feel its best for autumn
Forget “new year, new you” – for beauty editors, autumn is the time of the Great Beauty Reset. We sharpen our pencils of all varieties; HBs, eyeliners and lip liners. While this reset normally happens in line with the children going back to school, given the lingering warmer weather, we’ve had a few extra weeks before de-summering our make-up bags and bathroom cabinets.

“For the apparel oft proclaims the man,” quoth Shakespeare, who would surely have made a fine contestant on Celebrity Traitors had he not died in 1616. The Bard would have loved the Machiavellian reality TV show, the second series of which certainly pays lip service to his famous quote – if only, in some cases, to deliberately subvert it.

Kemi Badenoch’s carefully calculated conference wardrobe
Unlike many politicians, Kemi Badenoch has spent this Conservative conference looking as though she cares about the way she dresses.

But she might be one of them.
