What is gender-neutral fashion

General

Gender-neutral fashion is a trend that promotes clothing and accessories that are not specifically designed for men or women.

How to wear patterns and prints for spring 2022

Lifestyle

Spring is traditionally the time for ditsy florals, garden blooms, a touch of tribal and graphic monochromes, However, 2022 is the season of the supersized print.

But how to find suitable trousers for the pear shaped? And what about swimwear? Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, UK style gurus, have a lot of good advice on this. Read on… Aim in Dressing the Pear Shaped Body You have an enviable upper half, so emphasise it! Pears have neat boobs, slim arms, and tiny waists.

We think not. As early as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hollywood's biggest stars have been sporting the classic style - and even copycats. They've donned Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Tom Cruise, and Corey Feldman. As big a craze as the metal framed Aviators from the same sunglass-magnate, Ray-Ban, Wayfarers are the "must-have" for every generation. Today, there's a Wayfarer to match every style.
