EDITOR PICKS: OUR 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

By Symone Keisha, 25 December 2023

2023 has given us countless trends, iconic red-carpet moments and must-have prods (see: Made by Mitchell's viral Blursh), but it's all coming to an end *cries* 🥲 It's not all bad tho, it's actually the perf time for our editors to go through some of the things they really rated this year (there's been *SO* many). Keep it locked for a round-up of the best-of-the-best 🏆

BEST-DRESSED CELEB

'The competition was fierce (s/o Michelle Yeoh & Anok Yai), but I had to give it to Canadian it-girl ✨Taylor Russell✨ She started the year in red leather McQueen and ended it in a sculptural Schiaparelli dress at the BFAs. Iconic!' – Alice, Junior Editor

BEST SNEAKERS

adidas Originals Samba OG trainers, £90

'The Samba is my most-worn trainer of 2023, and I’m pretty sure they’re yours, too 👀 From 70s terrace style to the runway (looking @ u, Wales Bonner 🪩), there’s no denying their comeback.' – Emma, Sub Editor

BEST GROOMING BUY

Lab Series All-In-One Face Treatment 100ml, £46

'I'm a busy man, and that's why I love this all-in-one face treatment by Lab Series. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good pamper sesh, but when time's tight, you can't beat a prod that just does it all.' – Steven, Editor

BEST BEAUTY BUY

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum 50ml, £89

'PSA! This serum is magic in a bottle. Guaranteed to make you glow, I always apply it before a long flight, so as soon as I touch down, I'm ready to party 😜' – Gala, Brand Content Editor

FAVOURITE TREND

ASOS DESIGN premium asymmetric waistcoat with wool in camel, £35

'If you didn't catch the who buzz around quiet luxury this year, were you living under a 🪨? Sofia Richie and the Olsen twins have been my inspo for this, but I'm on a budget, so I've been doing low-key luxe. The best news is you can wear all these pieces right into 2024.' – Jazmin, Editor

BEST UNISEX FRAGRANCE

Malin + Goetz Leather Perfume Oil 9ml, £29

'Roll-on fragrances are the LOML and this scent is a big mood. Don't be fooled by the leather notes, it has a softer edge with green violet and lotus flower, too. TBH, it must be good because my gf keeps stealing it!' – James, Junior Writer

ACCESSORY OF THE YEAR

Kaiia oversized rose satin corsage in black, £12

'It has to be the corsage. They've had a HUGE moment this year and rightfully so – they're super femme and are an easy way to elevate the most casual 'fit. Case in point, this choker 😍' – Ayis, Junior Writer

FAVOURITE SONG

'My song of the year is Blood And Butter from Caroline Polachek's album, Desire, I Want To Turn Into You. It's a pop song with bagpipes that feels like being in love – new sub-genre unlocked 🔓' – Hannah, Sub Editor
