Shop the post: a spring wish list

Balenciaga Le City moka calf suede

The clocks just went forward, so even though it’s still freezing, it’s officially spring in my world. To mark the occasion, here are a handful of new-on-my-radar fashion and lifestyle bits …

White jeans. I’ve outgrown all my Arket Rose Cropped jeans and they don’t seem to make them any more. I’m wearing Arket Snow* as a placeholder; they’re a nice straight cut in 100% cotton but could be a heavier weight denim and a tad wider in the ankle.

Buy it now: Spring blues

Three new spring discoveries to share.

I’ve yet to try B Sides jeans but I think now may be the time to make it happen. The new collection features two relaxed-fit styles designed to look like you’ve had them for years. Fey (above) in Leo dark sun fade is a straight-cut, slightly loose-thigh jean with a long rise, while Elissa (inspired by stylist Elissa Santisi) in Klein (below) is a wide-leg, slouchy fit that also sits on the natural waist. Buy here and here. Both styles are 100% cotton and made in the USA. (more…)

Bringing back the blazer and jeans

Paris Vogue

Who’d have thunk it: blazers are about to make a post-Covid come back.

It’s been widely noted that the novelty of WFH sweats has worn off and some of us like a bit of corporate-lite cos-play. For those going back to offices, even if it’s part time, they want to dress the part. And for the never-going-back-to-the-office brigade, a tailored blazer is still the easiest thing to throw on for impromptu Teams calls. I guess old habits die hard.

The best route for this then is ye olde blazer and jeans combo and fortunately it’s an easy one to shop your closet. Here’s three ways to wear… (more…)
