Dressing for spring in the UK can be challenging due to unpredictable weather. The shredded skirt offers a stylish solution, striking a balance between high summer mini skirts and corporate midis. This laid-back fashion piece, characterized by its frayed edges, exudes fun and carefree vibes. Sienna Miller recently showcased its versatility with a white shredded skirt paired with a brown jumper and knee-high boots, perfect for fluctuating temperatures. Evolving from Charli XCX's Brat miniskirts, the shredded midi provides a more mature take on the party-girl aesthetic, subtly hinting at nightlife adventures without overt extravagance. Brands like Christopher Esber and Marques’Almeida offer chic variations of this trend.

White trainers are a versatile footwear choice, favored by designers and supermodels alike. Phoebe Philo notably popularized Adidas Stan Smiths in the late Noughties. The ideal white trainers maintain a fresh appearance while avoiding an overly new look; slightly worn-in pairs can add charm, making vintage or thrift store finds worthwhile. Vogue offers a guide to caring for these sneakers and presents a curated selection catering to various tastes and budgets. Options range from sporty Asics Gel Kayano 14 to sleek Dries Van Noten leather trainers, including retro styles like Adidas Japan trainers and classic running shoes. Categories include suede, leather, technical, and retro white trainers from brands such as LOEWE, Nike, and Converse.

Addison Rae, known for her pop culture-inspired beauty looks, draws influence from icons like Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Rae frequently uses red lipstick, favoring Lisa Eldridge’s Velvet Enchantment, applying it to her lips and cheeks for a natural look. For her latest beauty creation, Rae channeled Lindsay Lohan's 2010 court appearance nail art, opting for a floral manicure that subtly references Lohan’s bold "f**k you" design. Instead, Rae opted for "June 6," marking her album release date. Celebrity manicurist Natalie Minerva used OPI shades to create a subdued leopard print tie-dye effect reminiscent of Lohan's style, shared on Instagram.

As anticipation builds for the 2024 Met Gala on May 6, attention turns to who will grace the red carpet and what they will wear. Vogue highlights past stylish attendees, with Selena Gomez standing out as a fashion icon. Gomez's Met Gala appearances have consistently showcased her classic and glamorous style, from her debut in 2014 in a Diane von Furstenberg gown to her futuristic 2016 look by Louis Vuitton. Notable moments include her 2015 Vera Wang dress with orchids in her hair and her ethereal 2018 Coach creation. Fans eagerly await her potential return this year, hoping she continues her tradition of stunning red-carpet appearances.

Fast fashion refers to the rapid production of trendy clothing at low prices, significantly impacting both the environment and workers in the industry. Originating from a two-season collection model post-Industrial Revolution, fast fashion accelerated in the 1990s with brands like Zara and Forever21 producing up to 52 "micro-seasons" annually. Today, online brands such as Shein and Temu use algorithms for ultra-fast fashion, releasing styles within days. Despite growing interest in sustainable fashion, fast fashion's market value in the U.S. is projected to rise from $45.97 billion in 2025 to $67.77 billion by 2032. Controversially, it contributes up to 10% of global carbon emissions and relies heavily on oil-based textiles like polyester, exacerbating environmental concerns.

Over the past decade, high streets have faced significant challenges due to digitization, leading to the decline of many once-beloved brands.

Known for its tailoring, this season Cos embraces the utility trend with sand and khaki hues in oversized shirts, cargo trousers, and multi-pocket jackets, alongside classic staples such as white tank tops and minimalist tote bags.
