May 02, 2020 at 11:00AM Rihanna is brilliant, isn’t she? She’s consistently delivered us hit songs (seriously, drop the new album already), but then in 2017, she launched Fenty, her own beauty line that caters to a wide range of skin tones in an industry that often falls short. But, not content with all of that, she then decided that she wanted to create a lingerie line that mirrored her cosmetics collection: inclusive and incredibly cool. Savage x Fenty offers sassy underwear for a broad range of sizes. It is easily one of the best lingerie brands out there, especially for bigger busts. However, RiRi’s not alone in offering up a great line of lingerie for larger cup and dress sizes. Thanks to plenty of brands no longer just catering to a particular size, there are some incredible options out there, from ASOS, which offers up pretty lace bodices as well as fitted crop tops, to Figleaves, which has more traditional structured bras to cater for those who need additional support.

May 02, 2020 at 09:00AM When we asked you what you wanted to read during this time, a lot of you reached out to us requesting at-home beauty routines and expert guides on how to get those salon-level treatments from the comfort of your own home. One particular request we’ve seen coming in increasingly as time goes by is for a step-by-step guide on how to trim your own fringe. Now, if you’ve ever had a fringe cut in, you’ll know how frequently you need to pop into your local salon for a trim. Whether you have a feathered look and it needs thinning out or you’ve gone for a blunt style and are now struggling to see through it, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. To start with, we were a little wary of writing this up ourselves given the high stakes. We can certainly write about hair products and hairstyles with expertise all day, but when it comes to picking the scissors up? We thought it best to get the experts in.  When I thought about who to go to for answers we could trust, there was only one person who came to mind. Phoebe Summers is East London’s most in-demand bob chopper and blonde-hair colourist, from Hackney- and Brooklyn-based salon Kennaland. Being a fringe bearer herself, she certainly knows a thing or two about trimming those eye-skimming strays.  Keep scrolling, then, for Phoebe‘s step-by-step guide on how to trim your own fringe whilst a salon snip isn’t an option.

May 02, 2020 at 08:00AM Despite the fact we’re not spending much time outside, many of us will still be thinking about the gaps in our summer wardrobes. It pays to start with sandals, as many of us choose to invest in one new pair a year. Last year, it was the black Tevas with Velcro straps that we spotted everywhere. But the trekking look doesn’t appear to be going anywhere in 2020 either. This year, plenty of other brands have got in on the Velcro-sandal action, with the likes of The Row and new brand Arizona Love offering up their own versions. While black is still acceptable, there are some more colourful options around too. These all go perfectly with satin slip skirts and midi dresses (as shown below) but are also a practical shoe choice for any activity—even if that’s just going out for your daily walk. Keep scrolling to see how to style them then go on for our edit.  Style Notes: Who What Wear’s Hannah Almassi wears her Tevas to the office with a knitted midi skirt and Prada handbag.  Style Notes: Monikh pairs the logo Prada sandals with a satin slip skirt and makes them look even more summery with a shell anklet.  Style Notes: Lucy Williams is also a big fan of Velcro sandals and wore hers with a printed H&M co-ord.  Style Notes: Match your pink sandals with a pink dress.  This piece was published at an earlier date and has since been updated. Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2020 fashion trends you
