]]> If you are looking for inspiration to finish off the last month of summer, look no further. Whether it is a festival or drinks with your girls, we have got you covered.

The nightclub outfit with short dress

Very short and minimal: with this dress, you cannot go wrong. You can focus on the classic black dress with thin straps or try with lamé fabrics in metal shades to impress under the strobe lights.

The nightclub outfit with low-rise pants

One of the strongest trends of summer 2021 is the “life” of trousers and skirts. If you have any doubts about adopting this fashion in everyday life, holidays are an opportunity to dare and show off style. The look is completed with micro tank top and top.

Cut-out Dress

Sensual, bold and dramatic in the openings that show the bare skin flaps. Cuts and portholes can turn a simple black dress into a weapon of seduction. We recommend jersey models, hyper adherent, to emphasize how the body moves when dancing.

The nightclub outfit with lace dress

Abandon for a moment the image of the classic sheath dress, perfect for the ceremonies in the diary and take a simple petticoat with a deep neckline and dizzying slit, cut in tulle with lace embroidery. Well, this is one of the hottest clothes you can wear to a nightclub this summer.

The nightclub outfit with shorts

Finally, a “classic” of summer and disco look: short shorts (indeed very short!). They are worn with micro tops, simple straps that cover the breast and transparent t-shirts ( tulle, mesh or silk chiffon).

The tulip skirt nightclub outfit

The hem is not necessarily short and the sophistication of an overlapping fabric that reveals itself only step by step, even when you move to the rhythm of music. The tulip skirt is perfect for the evening and so is it’s material: sequins, oroton or lamé and, also in this case, low-rise.

With the weather finally warming up, it’s time to retire our sweats. The excitement for spring/summer plans is piling up, and with it, so are our diaries for lunch dates. After being stuck in sweats and zoom-appropriate attire for a year, it can be hard to find the inspiration for dressy lunch dates, which is why we’ve put together a look book of lunch date looks to get you inspired!

With the Girls 

For the perfect casual yet dressy outfit for a lunch date with the girls, keep it simple with a white ruched skirt, paired with a graphic mesh top and accent colours in a shoulder bag and low sling-back mules. Throw your hair back into a claw clip and add a pair of cat-eye shades for an extra flash of class. Perfect for some midday cocktails or an elegant brunch on a sunny street.

Family Brunch 

Heading to meet the family in a cafe or restaurant for brunch? A preppy ensemble is your answer, with a V-neck knit sweater, a black tailored skirt, monogrammed tights, a pearl handle shoulder, and some chunky mules to polish it all off. 

‘60s Spring Lunch

The perfect ensemble to listen to ABBA in en route to your lunch date, try a patterned, brightly coloured open back top paired with some tailored shorts and accessorised with matching chunky heels, a mini bag, and chunky gold hoops. Try a silk scarf as a hair accessory to dress up the look even further.

Light Lunch 

For a light and airy spring lunch look, a white and pastel combo is ideal. A white cotton skater skirt paired with a pale green collared top makes for the perfect spring palette. Accessorise with a white shoulder bag and simple silver hoops to elevate the look. 

Lime ‘n Lilac

For a more casual approach, some denim jeans paired with a bright satin corset and low pastel-coloured heels are the perfect balance for a casual lunch attended in style. A subtle short chain necklace and a pastel shoulder bag to tie the look together fuses the colours seamlessly and makes for a pretty spring-toned look.

Cherry Sweet 

The perfect spring lunch date look is never complete without a puffy sleeve or some heart details. A puffy organza dress with a cute pattern, some white mules, and some heart earrings are perfect to create the cute look. Add a statement heart-shaped bag to match the earrings and make the dress pattern pop.

This week the remanence of Paris Fashion Week has filled our feeds with inspiration. We’ve spotted celebs in outfits hot off the runway, making us feel like we’re on the virtual front row – with an exclusive view of the glam accessories, flamboyant colours and flattering silhouettes. Instagram has also given us all the spring inspiration we need, we’ve spotted influencers in heat wave-ready attire; bright, bold and boujee. Time to start planning our going-out looks!

Dua Lipa

Dua looks like a tutti frutti cutie in her full Marshall Columbia outfit, with neon shades of pink, green, yellow and blue. Key trend alert: Argyle. Not only are the colours eye-catching but the check patterns tie it all together to give us major clueless vibes – and we’re here for it. Mwah. The message we’re taking from this is that bright colours are in.

Amy Hallimond

Badass chic is the energy this look is channelling. Amy has gone full monochrome in a zebra print co-ord, which reminds us that animal print is all the rave this season. But let’s just take a moment for the boots, which are a dream. Platform is back. You heard it here first. Style tip: pair with flares to look like a modern 70s godess.

Cinzia Zullo

Cinzia looks cool casual in her boyfriend jeans which she has paired with a scoop neck YSL tank and a satin head scarf. An accessory which can make any outfit look effortlessly stylish. Want to look like a y2k queen this summer? Then take some tips from this look.

Aime Pradis

The colour coordination is perfect. Aime is giving us real-life ruby vibes in her cherry red look, a colour which you can look gorgeous in for every season. Key trend alert: Rimless Sunnies – accessories are everything and with the y2k takeover happening at the moment these rimless, wraparound sunglasses seem to be back. Let’s be honest, they complete every outfit.

Kehlani

Warning: extra hot. Kehlani wears new Savage x Fenty which she’s showing off under a risqué mesh piece. It’s hot girl summer ladies. She’s topped off the look with a pair of platform Doc Martens making it timeless, and showing us that matching anything this Spring with a pair of platform boots will elevate the look.

Jordyn Woods

Miss Woods is really serving in her Fayth Feels Dress – an asymmetric masterpiece, Jordan is proving in the most flawless way possible that sporty glam is in style this season. Figure flattering stretchy silhouettes, big reflective sunnies – all tied together with lace-up heeled sandals. Wherever we’re allowed to go this summer, this outfit is guaranteed to make you feel high-end.

Chloe Davie

We can’t get enough of these Nasty Gal chain detail jeans. A key trend this season: cut-out pieces. Like we saw last week with cut-out tops and dresses, this pair of jeans fit right in. Make them your staple piece and the rest of the look falls together.

Joy Crookes

Brown and boujee. Embracing more neutral tones, no one can do it like Joy Crookes, and street style sarees are now our new favourite thing. Style tip: accessories can elevate a look and this season a mini handbag is essential.

Jorja Smith

New number, who dis? More from the cut outs trend and Jorja Smith is killing it. A whole new feed and she’s come back strong wearing a stunning all white bodysuit. White is definitely a colour to wear this season. We’ve added some accessories for you to shop to complete the look. 

Kim Kardashian

Hot off the runway, Kim K is dripping in new Givenchy – showing off her curves in an olive-green figure hugging body-con embellished with crystals, matched with a diamanté fringed bag. This season is all about being extra and loving yourself, steal the look and expect many compliments on your daily walk, the only form of social interaction at the moment.

Kristen Noel Crawley

Glam seems to be a key message from the runways – Kristen looks dream-like in her MIU MIU co-ord, embellished with bright pink and orange sequins. Notice the backless and low-rise silhouettes, two trends you NEED to get your hands on this season.

Double Denim is a timeless and universal look; its constant presence throughout the fashion world generates a plethora of choices when styling outfits. Love it or hate it this article will avert any calls to the fashion police and persuade you to join ‘Team Double Denim’ with some killer celebrity looks. Take inspiration from these creative outfits; appreciate how they rock double denim with confidence and flair styled in unique and contemporary ways.


Hailey Bieber: Denim Rainbow
The different shades of denim throughout Hailey’s outfit are fun and unique. The light and dark washes are arranged in diagonal blocks, her top and jeans contrasting in direction. This creates an effect where the eye is encouraged to bounce across the diagonals of her outfit, showcasing the complete ensemble. Hailey’s double denim look is a fun expression of colour and lines; moving away from single coloured denim, she experiments with a variety.

Gigi Hadid: Pop of Colour
Diffusing the sea of blue, Gigi has made her outfit eye-catching with the addition of red accents peeping through the denim. She creates a cohesive outfit with consistent shades of colour, giving her look structure and harmony. Wearing double denim is a bold move; wearing red is a bold move- these two elements work great together, screaming confidence through their striking appearance.

Kylie Jenner: Triple Denim
Many people shy away from double denim due to the shape and thickness of the fabric. Kylie Jenner has answered all of these problems through her iconic triple denim look. The highlight of the outfit is the denim belt, completing the outfit. By styling skinny jeans with an oversized jacket, Kylie maintains a casual look but the cinching of the belt elevates it to another level, it ensures her outfit flatters her figure. This is a useful accessory to incorporate into your wardrobe as it provides the opportunity to create diverse looks with the same items of clothing.

Rihanna: Double Denim Night-Out Addition
Typically covering a huge proportion of the skin, jeans and long sleeve shirts tend to be associated with the double denim realm. Rihanna has defied this assumption through her gorgeous night-out vision, where she has taken elements of a daytime look and transitioned it appropriately into a sleek and sexy outfit. Creating a V-neck, off-the-shoulder look is so simple but cool. The same shades of denim in her mini skirt give the impression her outfit was
designed to be worn in unison, looking polished and sassy.

Whether it is incorporating different shades of denim, experimenting with the shapes of denim or using external accessories to jazz up a look. These celebrities have offered plenty of styling tips to inspire personal enjoyment through exploring ways to modernise denim on denim ensemble. Love it or hate it, double denim is here to stay and Voir will be leading the love campaign.

The Channel 4 series It’s A Sin made waves recently for its exploration of gay culture during the 1980’s, when the HIV and AIDS crisis began to unfurl in the UK. The show was praised for capturing the hearts of the nation and educating many on a topic that was considered very taboo in the past, with 18.9 million views on All4, this show has a buzz about it that will last.

Costume designer Ian Felcher took the reins for the characters’ outfits, looking into 80’s fashion beforehand to investigate LGBTQ+ culture, youth tribes, and overarching fashion staples. The result took many viewers back to the decade with its authenticity and diversity of references.

Jill Baxter (played by Lydia West) became an icon of the show as an LGBTQ+ ally, standing on the frontline to raise awareness of the growing pandemic and support those who were diagnosed. The character was based on Jill Nalder, an activist and actress who lived in London during the peak of the AIDS crisis. Noticing how many young men simply disappeared and later losing many of her close friends to AIDS, Nalder went on to raise money for research into the disease and visited many patients in hospital who didn’t have visiting family.

Every time an episode of It’s A Sin aired, #bemorejill would trend on social media platforms. In recognition of the importance of HIV and AIDS awareness and the strength of Jill’s character in the show, we’re taking a look at how to “Be More Jill” in both spirit and fashion. Check out our list below to see how you can incorporate a bit of Jill into your life and wardrobe.

High-Waisted Jeans

Jill’s style is characterised by casual streetwear, and nothing says casual like a good pair of jeans. 80’s trends favoured high-waisted fits that were snug at the waist (we love a good cinch) and fell into a straight or tapered leg. A common trend amongst teenagers was ‘pegging’ jeans – rolling them up at the cuff so that they fit snug around the ankle.

Denim Jackets

Most of the cast of It’s A Sin can be spotted wearing a denim jacket or two, often paired with jeans in the same wash. Jill’s denim jacket was a staple of her wardrobe, and you can see her wearing one throughout the entire series. More oversized than fitted, Jill styled her denim jacket with jeans, jumpers, and dresses, and in true 80’s fashion wore an upturned collar.

Blazers and Suits

The 80’s saw more women than ever wearing suits, both for the workplace and as an edgy style staple of performance culture. The introduction of the shoulder pad created a new iconic silhouette that emphasised the angularity of the shoulders. Jill is seen wearing a suit for her singing performances with Ritchie, a look which plays on the androgyny and ‘dandyish’ suit styling of the New Romantic movement (which was made popular by queer icons such as David Bowie and Boy George). You can see that Jill pulls the suit together with an oversized white shirt, a thin black belt, dangling earrings, and a pink scarf tied around her neck.

Oversized Jumpers and Cardigans

An oversized knit was a common trend of the era, and one which Jill is seen wearing on multiple occasions in It’s A Sin. The oversized fit was popular amongst younger people at time, favouring bagginess and paired with denim jeans. Jill’s jumpers and cardigans followed the trend by incorporating vibrant colours and patterns, from stripes and flowers to diamonds and block colours.

Shirts and Blouses

Shirts and blouses saw a revival of 1940’s fashion, with an emphasis of collars, bows, and ties. Patterns became incredibly popular and included stripes and abstract patterns, as well as tropical and floral prints. Vibrant colours combined with silky materials gave the 80’s shirt a glamourous finish that fit well in the club scene. Jill’s turquoise shirt with faint diamond patterning is a prime example of this style; worn for a house-warming party, the shirt is a bright pop of colour that is emphasised by a pair of dark striped trousers.

Graphic T-Shirts

The t-shirt was brought to the forefront of popularity in the 80’s through the numerous ways prints could be applied to it. Images of celebrities, TV and film characters, and company logos such as MTV could be printed across the front of t-shirts to indicate a person’s interest in current pop culture. The t-shirt also became more widely used for rallies and protests, as seen in Its’ A Sin, where the cast are seen wearing t-shirts with the words “AIDS NEEDS AID!” for a peaceful protest against unethical practices of pharmaceutical companies. The t-shirt is a prominent symbol to raise awareness of AIDS in the show, and Jill’s character is shown wearing hers proudly throughout the rally.

Shirtwaist Dresses

A shirtwaist dress – collared, buttoned down the front, and cinched at the waist with a belt – was a popular design for young women in the 80’s. As with shirts, the style was a revival of 1940’s fashion and was often put together with a denim jacket and lots of jewellery. Jill’s mint-coloured shirtwaist dress is worn on a night out with the gang, bringing a brighter note to the more muted colour palette worn by the rest of the cast. Her dress falls below the knee and is worn with a thin belt, brown shoulder bag, and a gold watch.

Chunky Jewellery

Big, bold, and flashy jewellery was on trend for much of the 80’s, with an emphasis on stacking, mixing, and matching individual pieces to multiple variations of one look. Large earrings, in particular hoops and dangling earrings, were a popular staple of ‘going out’ wear and were often paired with matching bracelets and necklaces. Bangles and cuff were also often used to finish off an outfit, stacked together in twos or threes. The promotional posters for It’s A Sin see Jill adopt this trend in all its vibrant glory, stacking multi-coloured bangles and donning blue tear-drop shaped earrings to offset her dress.

Hair Accessories

The hairstyling of the 80’s is iconic for more than one reason. Voluminous curls were all the rage, and bows, clips, barrettes, headbands, and scrunchies were the preferred means of styling hair. Jill is seen on multiple occasions were brightly coloured scrunchies to either tie her hair up or wear it in a half-up, half-down style. However, it was her use of a bandana as a headband that caught our eye. Seen wearing it during her first interactions with Ritchie, Jill’s headband is iconic for its incorporation of colour and a large bow.
