The Deuxmoi effect The new Gossip Girl is an IG influencer who takes anonymous tips from DMs.

Stomach rolls Currently seen in M&S’s beautifully realistic (and skin tone-inclusive) new underwear campaign. More, please.

Horror-core Debbie Harry’s blood-red “Psycho” dress is our summer goth inspo.

80s gymwear Pangaia’s new candy-coloured collection makes modern athleisure look a little bit joyless.

The beach But make it fashion. See the Prada, Grace Wales Bonner, Rick Owens and Burberry shows.

Going down

Weather app chat British obsession is reaching mind-boggling levels.

Hot Girl Summer Love the sentiment but the phrase is so overused it has jumped the shark.

‘Dump’ The new social media shortening of “photo dump”. Sounds a bit gross, tbh..

Body brushing It’s now all about the bum mask. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, they “nourish, soften and reduce fine lines”.

Dog-fluencers Squirrels are now fashion’s animal of choice. One features in JW Anderson’s new collection.

Euro 2020 A weekend without it. Sad times.
