The days are getting warmer, and my monthly pedi has been reinstated, so it can only mean one thing: spring has officially sprung. As I try to push the gloomy, grey days of winter out of my mind, there’s one thing that always lifts my spirits: shopping for a new investment piece. Much like the weather outside, my capsule wardrobe had begun to fall a little flat and was in need of some TLC. To rectify the situation, I looked to the chicest dressers I know: the fashionable people on my social media feeds.

From spring-ready jackets to cigarette jeans, boho-coded blouses to on-trend trainers, these content creators deliver on styling inspo and are often the first to purchase the pieces we soon come to covet. So naturally, picking their brains about what they’re shopping right now makes a lot of sense.

With something for everyone, they offered up plenty of luxurious shopping picks. Tobi Ojora can't get the Saint Laurent Mombasa out of her mind, whilst Lena Farl is planning to channel Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in a Toteme slip dress. The Danielle Guizio Paloma midi skirt is top of mind for Maya Fidel, whilst Savannah Elizalde is all about the Carelli Dolly, a faux-fur deer-print jacket currently taking social media by storm. Like the sound of these picks? That's just the beginning. Keep scrolling to discover their full spring wish lists.

If ever there was a swimwear season for travel restrictions to be reduced and our suitcases to reflect the excitement, it is this year—2022's swimwear trends are ready to go. I am a self-confessed swimwear obsessive and after over a decade as a buying director for my own swimwear business, I’m always on the lookout for the next big designers and trends. I’m always asked why I love swimwear so much, and to be honest it just kind of happened. I have so many beautiful memories of dreamy summers spent on the beach with my family in Puglia growing up so for me swimwear is synonymous with being happy and having fun—I always felt my most confident in the sun and that was mostly down to the swimwear I picked up on shopping trips with my mother. Then there's the fact a bikini or swimsuit can have a longer life than many other fashion purchases—in fact, most swimwear styles rarely date and if you buy well, you will hold onto pieces for years to come.

But how to know which styles will actually suit your body shape? Well, that takes a little practice with trying on different styles to see what suits your own body. If you’re a swimwear rookie sometimes the best way is to order a selection of styles to try on at home and see what works and what you feel most comfortable in. There are many beautiful designs that standout on the page but may not all actually translate into being flattering, comfortable or practical—this is what ultimately sets one swimwear buyer apart from another. 

For 2022's swimwear trends discreet need not apply. If you’re lucky enough to get away this year then summer 2022 is all about getting dressed up for the beach. Minimalism has no place here. Even the most streamlined of swimsuits have delicate cut-out details, wrap-around straps or standout 3D corsages. These swimwear trends are so fabulous they really speak for themselves so here are my 5 top swimwear trends for 2022. I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as you like reading this too!

Next up, read about the celebrity bikini trend we're all talking about!

As we've already pointed out, less is more when it comes to this season's big trends. Specifically, cut-outs. It's a craze that completely makes sense when you put it into perspective–we're all pretty eager to shed the many layers of puffer coats and heavy knits that are currently swamping us. Now here's your chance for some stylish ventilation: the midriff cut-out.

It stands out from the other "naked" microtrends we've spotted and reported on last year, in that the abdomen is the main star. From big designers like Khaite and Off-White to Dion Lee and Cult Gaia, the midriff cut-out has marked its place on some of spring's coolest dresses and tops. The detail is gaining traction in a big way, so it's only a matter of time before it blows up on the Instagram and celebrity styling front.

In anticipation of its furor, we've gathered a ton of midriff cut-out pieces you can buy now to get you right for the season ahead. Whether you're looking for a bodysuit to elevate all of your basic jeans and sweatpants or a chic dress to get gussied up, we promise you'll want to add these gems to your cart.

Do you ever scroll through Instagram and get an odd sense of déjà vu, feeling as if you've seen an image—or, more specifically, an outfit—before? As a fashion editor, it happens to me all the time. I'll spot a dress that seems familiar, only to realise it's graced my feed one, two, or three times previously on various other stylish people I follow. 

From a specific shoe to a statement handbag, often, several members of the fashion set will be spotted wearing the same item. And while it used to be considered a fashion faux pas to be wearing the same look as someone else, now it is simply the sign of a trending item.

Already this autumn, we've noted multiple influencers in the same dresses from brands including H&M, Song of Style, and Cult Gaia. With Jéan, in particular, has been extremely popular, as influencers have embraced its Andy Dress in shades of both orange and green.

Between knit midi dresses and long-sleeve minis, it's easy to see why the versatile dresses below have gained such popularity and earned themselves the coveted cult-buy status. Interestingly, with each of the seven trending dresses, no two outfits are ever completely the same, as each influencer has put their own unique spin on the garment.
