Riann Phillip, British Vogue’s features assistant, recently donned an outfit reminiscent of Princess Anne—elbow-patched blazer, shin-skimming skirt, and knee-length riding boots—raising eyebrows. This aristocratic style, however, is experiencing a revival through designers like Laura Andraschko, Daniel Lee, and Miuccia Prada. The trend reflects qualities of traditional British clothing: durability, timeless style, and use of natural fibers like tweed and wool. Similarly, actor Simone Ashley was spotted in New York wearing a Harris Tweed minidress from Coperni's Pre-Fall 2025 collection, blending classic elements with modern flair. Designers attribute this resurgence to the enduring appeal of well-crafted, versatile pieces that transcend fleeting fashion trends.

Rosemary oil, highly concentrated, should be diluted with carrier oils like coconut or almond to prevent scalp irritation. Experts recommend a ratio of five drops of rosemary oil to 10ml of carrier oil for safe application. Massage the diluted oil into the scalp to boost blood flow and oxygenation, promoting hair growth. Leaving it on overnight, especially with a warm towel, enhances absorption after a patch test. For optimal results, use rosemary oil a couple of times weekly. Pre-mixed oils or leave-in treatments offer convenience. Vogue editors tested various rosemary oils for hair growth, focusing on improvements in length, fullness, and density without greasiness.
