A true pop star is a master of reinvention. Being able to ride the waves of hyper-trends and shifting cultural moods requires intense self-security. Charli XCX is a connoisseur of pop in this way, always in tune with herself and doing the unexpected, as she says: “Playing into the contrast is so much more interesting

With another topsy-turvy year behind us, who’s to say we don’t deserve to indulge in some retail therapy? Whether you’re in the market for an enameled cast iron after mastering the kitchen during lockdown or you need a new pair of kitten heels for a hybrid return to office, this year’s Black Friday and Cyber

Instagram is good for a lot of shameful things: stalking exes, spot popping videos, avocados. Lots of avocados. But one thing you can use it for (and admit to) is improving the way you dress, square by stylish square. The platform is a hotbed of even hotter fire ‘fits, but you have to know where

Nicole Richie famously caught on fire last week, but the truth is, she’s been hot for a while—so long, in fact, that some of her Gen Z fans have never even seen her 2003 TV breakout, The Simple Life. That’s because in the ensuing years, Richie has become a savvy style mogul in her own

Courtesy of Fendi and Versace In a world where luxury houses battle it out to stay on top, smart designers are joining forces. So far we’ve seen Gucci “hack” Balencaiga for its Aria collection. Raf Simons joined Miuccia Prada to co-design for the foreseeable future. And yesterday, Fendi and Versace presented a dual runway, a

Granted, reading FashionBeans probably equips you with more than enough style knowledge to pass an end-of-season exam. But if you’re the sartorial sage in your peer group, setting the agenda and the dress code for everything from a business-casual office to a few days in Ibiza, then you could quickly run low on modish pearls

The holy grail for guys who like to get the most out of their tailoring, separates – combining non-matching jackets and trousers – will not only breathe new life into an existing suit rotation, they also let you create a wealth of smart casual or formal looks. Yet while anyone can throw together two different

Gilbert Carrasquillo/Getty Images Nina Garcia: Your fall collection was a tribute to Broadway. How did that love affair begin for you? Michael Kors: The first musical I ever saw was Annie Get Your Gun, with Ethel Merman. I was five years old. I had no idea who Ethel Merman was. I was knocked out—loved it.

Colour can be a cruel mistress. Most of us know that we could stand to win a few style points by giving hues outside our comfort zone a go, but — like finding the right haircut for your face shape — selecting hues that work with your complexion is often easier said than done. With

By the looks of the recently concluded London Fashion Week, designers spent their lockdown downtime either delving deep into fashion history or craving the lights and EDM drops of clubland. While

If it’s true that a man’s outfit is assessed from his shoes up, then it’s their shade that first colours someone’s judgement. Footwear, like everything else in menswear, has grown less rigid recently these days you can wear Oxfords with jeans and trainers with a suit. But the key to pulling either off is in

September marks the dawn of fall and the urge to reinvent one’s wardrobe. Plush sweaters, trim coats, and boots of all kinds are seasonal pillars worthy of a refresh. But how to anchor it all with sharp day-to-day sophistication? You can’t go wrong with a poised handbag like the Coach Rogue. It’s one of executive

Statement jackets and the latest sneakers are always going to be top of men’s lust lists, but don’t let high-wattage clobber blind you to the essentials. The right pair of men’s trousers can be the most quietly powerful item you wear, but get it wrong and you’ll instantly dull the shine of the trending pieces

If ever there was a clear-your-calendar type of fashion show, it’s the Savage X Fenty Show Volume 3, a literal extravaganza that just debuted on Amazon Prime Video. It watches like a short film meets extended-cut music video, with gorgeous set design, amazing choreography, some seriously big-name appearances, and costumes that aren’t actually costumes but,

Accessories: no decent outfit is complete without them. They are what béarnaise sauce is to steak, butter to bread, an olive to a martini. You get the idea. But sometimes it can be difficult to know just how good an investment any of these stylistic accoutrements might turn out to be (we’re looking at you,

Daniel ZuchnikGetty Images We’ve all been here during the past year’s surge in online shopping: Clicking through a laundry list of stores, scrolling endlessly to find just one perfect jean or sweater—if we’re lucky. We know what we want, but our favorite retailers can’t always deliver it. The home of your go-to styling subscription might

When Kim Jones took over as Artistic Director of Fendi at the start of this year, the Renaissance man headed straight to the storied Italian house’s vast archive in the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana.
