Year: 2020

July 04, 2020 at 05:00AM As we’ve been spending time cleaning out our wardrobesover the last few months, we’ve gone over a smattering of pieces—from basics to jeans—that we’re thinking of getting rid of in favour of other items. Well, today we’re going to focus on the summer items we potentially want to ditch as we head into those warmer-weather months. Below you’ll uncover a range of summer pieces our fashion editors will never remove from their wardrobes given their versatile and inherently chic nature. Alternatively, you’ll also spot a selection of items our team members aren’t as into at the moment. Of course, all of this is based on personal preference—and you should always wear whatever you love, no matter what anyone says. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the items we’re into this summer.

If you’re currently feeling tempted by a fringe, there are certain looks that can suit any of us, regardless of these elements. “A parted sweeping fringe will suit any face shape,” explains Maxine Cooke, a creative stylist at Nicola Clarke at John Frieda salons. “The length just needs to be adjusted to complement the face shape.” Maxine also recommends opting for a side-swept fringe if you want minimum commitment, and Paul Windle, the founder of Windle London, suggests picking a fine long fringe with a couple of sections, getting longer from the centre into the sides. As for which styles can be hardest to pull off, Maxine says micro-fringe requires a lot of commitment. “That being said,” she explains, “when it’s done right on the right person, it’s the most striking and beautifully edgy fringe there is.” And while we do urge that you wait until you can get to salon before you take the plunge, taking inspiration from these 18 chic fringe hairstyles can’t hurt, right? The classic fringe style for a bold, timeless look.  Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner tries on a full fringe for style, which was cut
