FULL BLOOM

#LOOK • A FASHION FOCUS

That sweet spot • From playful pastels to bold hues, bring your wardrobe to life in all the shades of the rainbow.

Nights in satin • Slip into something satin this spring; either a midi skirt, flowy blouse, sexy slip or an array of accessories. Designers Jonathan Simkhai and Bec + Bridge are big fans, as seen in their latest shows.

Squared up • Even shoemakers couldn’t differentiate between left and right when the OG square-toed shoes were first introduced back in the 1800s. We’re living for this year’s resurgence.

Rodeo and Juliet • This year, ‘Old Town Road’ by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus topped the charts and (almost) everyone wore chaps to Coachella.

FASHION RADAR? • First impressions matter: be ahead of the crowd and take the spotlight with everything we’re loving this month.

Slow fashion is on the rise • The future of fashion is in sustainability. Here’s how to ‘shwop’ till you drop to protect our planet.

POWER PLAY • Forget the old boys’ club: the new tailoring is all about sharp looks – from louche and loose to high and tight.

GET THE LOOK • Ready for a new uniform? The new suiting styles are bigger, slouchier and much easier to pull off than you think.

Nkateko Dinwiddy • The Shield ambassador and founder of Rockingnheels dance studio shares her road to success and self-care tips.

FUTURE BEAUTY • Meet the ‘tweakment’ – a new, invisible approach to cosmetic surgery, pioneered by Dr Marwa Ali.

Q & A • She’s the beauty and brains behind salon chain Candi & Co, entrepreneur Candice Thurston shares all things beauty, and the rituals she swears by.

BEAUTY RADAR? • Goodbye bad hair days! Say hello to an extensive range of fun hair colours and our favourite makeup staples to get you through the season.

the personal touch • Envision a world where your face cream is tailor-made for your DNA, your hair mask knows you got highlights last Thursday, and your serum has a better handle on your likes and your dislikes than your partner. Innovators from the worlds of tech and beauty are dreaming up these super personalised beauty products right now. If half of the predictions pan out, the next generation of lipsticks and hydrators will be virtually unrecognisable.

#INSTABEAUTYCRUSH • We’re crushing hard on influencer, momager and DJ, Sithelo Shozi, who is serving us the sleekest beauty inspo on Instagram, from head to toe.

Is your sunscreen safe? • In May, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) announced it would be re-evaluating the safety of every single chemical sunscreen agent. Makes you a little nervous, right? Us, too. And since we’re not going to...
