STYLIST’S COLUMNIST BILLIE BHATIA shares what’s on her mind this month Of all the accessories I thought I would be lusting after this summer, nothing has had me in a fiercer choke hold than a branded cap. In the space of three months, I’ve amassed caps into the double digits. Some I’ve gathered on my travels in place of a dud anklet that drops off before your return flight, some I’ve sought out as commemorative merch (read: bragging rights) from events, and some I’ve spent excessive amounts of money on because I saw someone cooler than me wearing it. Why, you might ask, am I collecting caps faster than a thirty-something golf bro? Because I, like the rest of the internet, want to look Sporty and Rich. When my mum asked why I…

stylist advertorial Are the gut and the immune system linked? Dr Emily Prpa, nutritionist and science manager at Yakult, explains why this relationship is so important 1. make the connection “Put simply, your immune system is powered by your gut,” says Dr Emily Prpa, when asked about the gut-immune axis. “70-80% of your immune cells sit within the gut and these are in constant communication with your gut microbiota. Often, we will only start thinking about looking after our immune system during the autumn and winter months, when there’s the fear of catching a cold or flu looming large. But our immune system is constantly working and it’s our gut which is the driving force behind it. Looking after your gut contributes to the proper functioning of your immune system…

here to stay Out with the subtle, in with the bold: meet the new era of beast-mode fragrances packed with statement notes and made to last - here with a creative twist from street artist Bambi Let me set the scene: you pick up your perfume of the day and apply it onto all the usual areas – a spray behind the ears, a spritz on your wrists and even a quick mist into the air that you dance a little shimmy through. You leave the house surrounded in a cloud of light, gorgeous, citrus notes as you embark upon your daily commute. But by the time you’ve taken a seat on the Elizabeth Line, you notice that your perfume seems to have completely disappeared. Sound familiar? Finding a long-lasting…

stylist’s editorial director lisa smosarski shares her career wisdom Earlier this year, a piece of research revealed the average office worker spends roughly five years of their life in meetings.* Five years. I didn’t really believe it until I calculated I’d spent over 1,000 hours – 41 solid days and nights – in meetings discussing Stylist covers alone. I’ve since totted up that I’ve lost months to meetings that should have been emails. That said, meetings have been career-defining for me, too. When Hillary Clinton agreed to guest-edit Stylist, we were given 24 hours’ notice to get to New York. What followed was a series of adrenaline-fueled meetings: three of us sitting on the floor of a Heathrow departure lounge mapping out how to use our time effectively, brainstorming over the Atlantic,…

sole searching Whether you’re Team Foam or Team Cork, fashion’s favourite shoes prove that  it’s cool to be comfy… “WE’RE LIVING IN AN AGE OF CROC SUPREMACY. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE” No shoe has enjoyed a redemption arc quite like the Croc. Launched as a protective clog for boaters in 2002, for most of my adult life they’ve inspired the kind of vitriol usually reserved for people who chew with their mouth open. According to a YouGov poll from 2018, Crocs were the third most “reviled” item of clothing in the UK, beaten only by Speedos and leather trousers. Then, during lockdown, I got bored of laughing at my boyfriend’s pair adorned with Jibbitz (the official name for those little charms you stick through the holes), slid my feet into their perfectly…

stylist advertorial From subtle staples to layered separates, The F&F Edit, curated by Abbey Clancy, is taking supermarket style to a whole new level… September is always an exciting time. Yes, there is cause to feel sad about the end of summer, but there’s something infectious about September’s ‘back to school’ feeling. Not only do we embrace a slower, cosier outlook but we also start swapping florals and floaty fabrics for those relaxed, more transitional pieces that make up our essential autumn wardrobe. Long coats, chunky knits, oversized layers – yes, we are very much here for all of it. And this season, it’s neutrals (from warm biscuit and fawn tones to soft greys) that are currently having their sartorial moment. Luckily, whatever your size, shape and budget, tapping into this trend…

knocking on hollywood's door With Anna Wintour’s backing and a bulging contacts book, Amy Astley has taken Architectural Digest from stuffy design magazine to the cover celebrities covet When Amy Astley joins my video call from her glass office in lower Manhattan, it takes everything I have not to welcome her with a cheery, ‘Hi, AD!’ I’ve seen Gwyneth Paltrow do it, opening the huge Crittall doors to her Montecito mansion. I’ve seen Lily Allen do it, too. And Serena Williams, Kendall Jenner and Naomi Campbell. When you let the most influential voice in interior design into your home, shouldn’t you greet them accordingly? Astley can only see the rectangle of my east London flat that’s visible behind me – but, to be fair, that is most of it. I…

letting go Last year, content creator and campaigner Sasha Pallari, 31, had a picture-perfect wedding. Eight months later, her unhappiness became impossible to ignore. Here, she tells Stylist why getting divorced is the bravest thing she’s ever done When you tell people you’re getting divorced at 31, the questions come thick and fast. “Why did you go through with it? Did something awful happen? Was he emotionally abusive? Did you meet someone else?” People want to pinpoint exactly what went wrong, maybe so they can scan their own horizons for warning signs. But the truth is, my husband wasn’t awful, and neither was my relationship. It just wasn’t enough. Saying that out loud was like coming up for air. As a content creator and campaigner, I’ve built a career and…

express yourself Bright make-up is 2023’s most joyful comeback, with sunshine yellow, poppy reds and luscious greens taking centre stage. Here, make-up artist Andrew Gallimore demonstrates the trend we’ve been waiting for If I say the words ‘blue eyeshadow’, what springs to mind? For me (and probably, many of you), those two words are synonymous with memories of the early 00s. Inspired by Aaliyah’s We Need A Resolution music video, I’d crack open a frosty blue eyeshadow from Miss Sporty (swiped from my older sister’s dresser), somewhat aggressively dab a brush into the pan and sweep it over my eyelids. I can still remember its powdery scent. At the time, the word ‘blending’ was something I associated only with cooking and so, off I went to meet my friends, my metallic…

From the jelly and ice cream at Jelladrome in central London and arctic rolls at Jikoni, to the soft boiled eggs and brioche soldiers served in Tom Seller’s new Mayfair restaurant Dovetale, the comfort food of our childhood is cropping up everywhere. It’s inspiring us to recreate the classics we used to love at home, too, and this fish finger sandwich recipe from the Mob crew hits the spot. Using Bombay Mix to make a crunchy, flavourful crust for the fish and an easy tikka mayo that you’ll want to put on everything, it’s exactly what we fancy as the days draw in. preparation time 15 mins cooking time 15 mins ingredients (serves 4) 200g Bombay Mix5 tbsp tikka…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 20 PROBING QUESTIONS Ahead of her collaboration with OMNES, what will the actor make of our questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? Style is unique to everyone and everybody defines it in their own particular way, but it’s really about self-expression. What item of clothing makes you feel nostalgic? I have a dress I bought in Costa Rica a couple of years ago; it’s summery, linen and floaty. I spent lockdown there – I thought I was going to be there for two weeks but stayed for three months. That dress reminds me of feeling free (I had zero responsibilities) even though the world was locked down. When do you feel most alive? When I’m at work, with the pressure of having 80 pairs…
