Nicholas Galitzine Knows How to Wear a Suit When You’re Yoked

Nicholas Galitzine Knows How to Wear a Suit When You’re Yoked

Published by Jenni Sidey

Nicholas Galitzine has the power—the power suits to level up his red carpet looks, that is. The Masters of the Universe actor bulked up (reportedly aided by consuming 5,000 calories a day) for his upcoming role as He-Man, and he hasn’t ditched the muscle mass just yet. Playing the ’80s superhero known as Prince Adam, who transforms into the scantily clad He-Man once he wields the Sword of Power, Galitzine ditched the lithe physique that helped him ascend to fame in Red, White, and Royal Blue to play the comic-book hunk with the body of a Pumping Iron bodybuilder. And now that it’s time to promote the film, the British actor’s stacked stature hasn’t prevented him from wearing a nice suit. If anything, it enhances the experience. In an appearance on The Tonight Show this week, Galitzine looked comfortable in a grey double-breasted suit with a white spread-collar shirt and a green geometric tie, swapping out dress shoes for slick leather boots. Working with stylist Ben Schofield (whose roster also includes fellow English heartthrobs Callum …

Published by Akaay

Some of the greatest summer films all share a certain mood: languorous afternoons spent escaping the heat in wardrobes that seem to have been edited by the sun itself.

Glamour UK Slammed Over Post On What To Wear To ‘Feel Cute’ Giving Birth

Glamour UK Slammed Over Post On What To Wear To ‘Feel Cute’ Giving Birth

Published by Sam Flores

An Instagram post from Glamour UK has been criticised for telling expectant mothers what to wear to give birth in so they “still feel cute”. The post featured a photo of TV personality Sophie Habboo in hospital before she gave birth (though she wasn’t mentioned in the article), and was overlaid with the text: “What to wear when giving birth (so you still feel cute).” The article itself, which was written by a Glamour editor, shared a series of suggestions for comfortable items expectant parents might want to buy, such as a £136 Skims lounge set, a £30 Boux Avenue nursing bra, and a £32 H&M pyjama set that “looks pulled together”. “One thing nobody really tells you about giving birth? What you wear afterwards actually matters,” read the caption for the Instagram post. “Between nappies, nipple cream and tiny baby outfits, it’s easy to overlook what would make you feel comfortable, practical and still a little bit like yourself.” Why has there been a backlash? The post has received numerous comments from women who …

Tell us: did you decide to wear a suit rather than a dress to your wedding like Dua Lipa? | Wedding dresses

Published by Sam Flores

Dua Lipa got married this weekend in a beautiful outfit that appeared to pay homage to Bianca Jagger’s wedding to Mick Jagger. The singer wore a Schiaparelli couture white skirt suit paired with a Stephen Jones hat as she tied the knot with actor Callum Turner at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on Sunday. In 1971, Jagger married the Rolling Stones frontman in a Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking jacket and bias-cut skirt, finishing off the look with a floppy hat and veil. We would love to hear from people who were inspired by Bianca Jagger’s wedding outfit and paid homage to it at their own weddings.

What Color Shoes Should You Wear With a Gray Suit?

What Color Shoes Should You Wear With a Gray Suit?

Published by Jenni Sidey

Choosing the right shoes to wear with a gray suit usually begins with color: black, chocolate brown, maybe something more seasonal. And that’s a good place to start. It’s not where the decision ends. “The biggest determining factor in finding the right footwear for a gray suit is going to be your cloth,” says Chase Winfrey, editorial director of the New York bespoke tailor J. Mueser. “That makes up so much of whether a suit is casual or formal. A worsted wool charcoal suit… feels much more formal than a linen suit.” In other words, listen to the suit. Color is a baseline. Fabric, texture, and even the cut determine whether a pair of shoes actually works with a certain suit. Here’s how to determine which color shoes you should wear with your gray suit, according to tailoring experts. Styling the spectrum from light gray to charcoal Shade is a great way to narrow things down. On the one end of the spectrum, light gray suits lean more casual, so lighter, softer shoes like tan …

Rochelle Humes has spoken about her fear of wearing “anything nice” in London over crime fears. The Saturdays star, 37, said: “You can’t wear [a Rolex] in London now” on her podcast Ladies Who Launch. Humes is often spotted wearing jewellery worth tens of thousands of pounds on her Instagram page, which has more than two million followers.

The singer said: “You can’t wear one in London now. It’s too scary to have anything nice.” Earlier this year, an investigation by the Standard revealed that more than £22 million of luxury watches, handbags and jewellery have been stolen by thieves across London in the past two years. Jenson Button’s wife Brittny, Loose Women’s Christine Lampard and Tim Hortons boss Axel Schwan are among recent high-profile victims of the capital’s high-end theft epidemic.

3 Reasons Not To Wear Perfume Outside This Summer

3 Reasons Not To Wear Perfume Outside This Summer

Published by Sam Flores

I like a great fragrance as much as the next person. But if you’re planning on treating everyone to a noseful of your most prized perfume this summer, some experts advise doing so indoors. That’s partly because of pests, UV rays, and efficacy; basically, sun and scents don’t always mix. Here are three reasons why: 1) Certain perfumes attract wasps At least, that’s according to BBC Gardener’s World, which said you shouldn’t wear it in your garden because wasps are sometimes drawn to the smell. Dazed reported that fruity and floral scents might be especially tempting. Look out for ingredients like linalool, phenylacetaldehyde and benzyl acetate, which essentially act like nectar signals for our flying friends. These, they say, are commonly found in the following scents: jasmine, tuberose, ylang‑ylang, and orange blossom perfumes. White flowers and summer fruit scents, like strawberry, are typically draws for wasps. 2) Perfume might make your skin more reactive to sunlight In a Facebook video, dermatologist Dr Niki Ralph said that you shouldn’t put perfume on skin you’re going to …
