‘I went to an Oasis gig and here's what all the cool women were wearing'
Our beauty editor Laura Mulley was at one of the Oasis shows in Manchester this weekend, and if you're wondering what to wear to your upcoming gig, here's some inspiration I was lucky enough to get tickets to see Oasis play at Heaton Park in Manchester on Saturday night, and it was as incredible as all the fans are saying; if you've got tickets for an upcoming show – or are hoping to buy some last-minute ones – you're in for a real treat. However, I ummed and ahhed about what I should wear to it for quite a while beforehand. It needed to be practical for the long day spend, in my case, in a field, yet as someone how loves fashion, I still wanted to look cool. Of course, the majority of people were wearing the band's merchandise, namely T-shirts and bucket hats; these can be bought in advance via the official Oasis store, or you'll be able to pick one up from vendors at or outside the venue. You'll also find loads of great options on the high street, including at Next, Debenhams and Amazon. As I attended Heaton Park, a fully open-air venue, wellies or boots and raincoats were definitely needed (I ordered this leopard print one from ASOS). If you're going to Wembley Stadium, however, trainers would be acceptable; keep with the band's connection to Adidas with a pair of Spezials. Here's what else to pair your merch with... A crossbody bag Safe and easily accessible yet stylish, a crossbody bag is perfect for gigs as it leaves your hands free. I took my everyday Arket black crossbody bag, but the cult classic Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag, £14.90, is perfect for this – it's lightweight and comes in loads of colours now. Remember that any bag you bring needs to be under A4 in size (no backpacks), and they will be searched prior to entry. Shorts Even if the weather's not baking hot, we're still talking summer here, and at Heaton Park almost all of the women were wearing shorts rather than jeans or trousers; paired with a band T-shirt, I think it gives a rock 'n' roll, festival look. If you're planning on sitting on anyone's shoulders, they're far more practical than a skirt. Go for a pair of denim cut-offs like these classic Levi's 501s, from £42, or this black pair from Nobody's Child, now better than half price at £22, and still available in all sizes. A bucket hat If you're going to wear any sort of headwear, make it a bucket hat, in keeping with the band's famous 90s style – so many men and women were wearing them at Heaton Park. If you want to buy a non-Oasis one that you'll get more wear out of, I loved this grey leopard print Adidas one my friend was wearing (£30). It's currently only available in one size though, so if you want more options, ASOS is a great place to look. This Adidas olive-coloured one is £23, while this £8 cream one is a great bargain option is you know you're not going to wear it much after the event. How to buy Oasis tickets Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. While they operate in a grey area, the resale websites including viagogo, StubHub and Vivid Seats have the biggest collection of tickets available right now. And these begin at prices including £350 and £400. These websites give fans the chance to buy tickets up to the day of the concert in question. And ticket-buyers are protected by each website's guarantee, meaning they are promised either entry to the event with their ticket, or their money back. No arrests required. Here's the links: Alternatively, the official retailers, Ticketmaster, Seat Unique and Twickets, are the only legitimate ways to buy tickets at this point in the tour. However, Ticketmaster and Twickets have not had any tickets come through for weeks. With that said, Seat Unique still has VIP and hospitality tickets available right now. These tickets come complete with complimentary food, drinks, early access, after parties, and more. Here's all the links fans need:

How to wear straight leg jeans like an off-duty model this summer
Are you ready for the return of straight leg jeans? For the longest time, it felt like baggy jeans were the only choice for the street style crowd—ideally low-rise, with some pointy or Tabi boots being swallowed up by the pooling hems. In recent months though, and as the weather's picked up, another style of jeans has been shuffling their way onto our moodboards. I'm talking, of course, about straight leg jeans—not baggy, not skinny, but that sweet spot in between. I first started seeing a noticeable return to the humble straight leg around fashion month earlier this year, when it was clearly the go-to uniform for off-duty models slouching around Paris and New York. Usually low or mid-rise, and worn with loafers, ballet flats, or boots, the straight leg feels casual and low effort, without totally swamping you like some baggy jeans can. And if, like me, you'll never be on board with a return to skinny, the straight leg is an easy alternative that feels like a classic. Getty Getty Bella Hadid—who I consider a sort of soothsayer when it comes to jeans—has also been on the straight leg jeans trend for a minute. Often pairing hers with a vest and trainers, or sometimes a lil stiletto, the 28-year-old model has got straight leg outfit combos down to a fine art. She's also not averse to a high-rise straight leg with a belt, which feels very 'early 2010s mom' in the best way possible. Controversial take, but: I feel like she eats in a straight leg even more than she does a bootcut. Getty Fortunately, finding the most perfect straight leg jeans for summer is a relatively painless experience—unlike, say, piling a gazillion bootcuts into a harshly lit changing room. My colleague Alice Cary swears by vintage straight legs, as the denim has a bit more life to it. 'The pair of Levi's 501s I found in a vintage store in the US several years ago are perfectly worn-in and will continue to age as I wear them,' she wrote for British Vogue recently. 'They have a finish that's hard to replicate in a factory.' Obviously, models look good in anything—that's literally their job. But if there's one trend that's worth replicating this year from the GOATs of low-key cool, it's the straight leg. Whether you're a model or not, I truly believe you can't go wrong with this straight up-and-down classic. Courtesy of Uniqlo 1 / 6 Uniqlo wide straight-leg jeans, $65 Available at Uniqlo.

Celebs love Levi's jeans — shop styles worn by Pamela Anderson, Beyonce and more
When it comes to a wardrobe that stands the test of time, well-made, figure-flattering jeans are essential. Whether you're wearing them for a low-key date night or running errands, comfortable jeans that fit like a dream just work because they're so versatile. You can dress them up with heels, jewelry and the right makeup, or keep them casual with sneakers and a simple T-shirt or sweater. Levi's has been in the business of making high-quality jeans for over 100 years, and it's safe to say that the iconic brand has perfected the art. Regular shoppers (myself included!) give its denim rave reviews, but Levi's also has a host of famous fans including Pamela Anderson, Beyonce and Blake Lively. Curious about which styles A-listers trust for strutting their stuff? We rounded them up below, and good news — they're all under $100. Back in 2024, Pamela Anderson gave us a masterclass in denim-on-denim dressing when she paired classic Levi's 501s with a denim shirt. She finished the 'fit with a blazer and heels, proving that, yes, the Canadian tuxedo can be totally chic. Queen Bey doesn't just sing about Levi's jeans; she actually wears them. She recently modeled a pair of leg-baring 501 denim shorts that should be a staple in any warm-weather wardrobe. Olivia Rodrigo likes the Levi's Ribcage Straight Jeans so much that she was spotted wearing them not once, but twice last year. Yahoo Senior Home and Garden Editor Jessica Dodell-Feder is also a fan. "In my opinion, these are the perfect wide (but not too wide) jeans," she says. "They feel timeless and also trendy, which is pretty impressive!" The perfect not-too-constricting jeans to run around town in? The Levi's 94 Baggy style that Hilary Duff was spotted in earlier this year. She paired them with rain boots and a cashmere sweater, but they look just as good with sneakers and a tee. Or, consider dressing them up with heels and silky tank top. Like Pamela Anderson, Blake Lively also makes a convincing case for adding a pair of iconic Levi's 501 jeans to your collection. She wore them back in December for a night out, proving denim can definitely be dressed up with the right accessories. Way back in 2016, Rihanna stepped out wearing a Levi's denim skirt and a matching jean jacket. Nearly a decade later, her look is still fab and totally worth recreating on your own. Sadly, Riri's OG skirt is no longer available, but you can't go wrong with the brand's Icon Skirt. Your wardrobe isn't complete without a denim jacket, so take a cue from Hailey Bieber and snag the oversized trucker style she wore in a 2021 Levi's campaign. It's a great year-round piece that you can wear over a tee in the warmer months and over a sweater when the temps drop. The stylish jeans Emma Roberts wore to channel some serious French "it girl" vibes back in 2024? The uber-flattering (and sometime controversial) Wedgie cut. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

And if, like me, you'll never be on board with a return to skinny, the straight leg is an easy alternative that feels like a classic. Really, it's no wonder that models have jumped aboard the straight leg train en masse—the style has made an appearance on the catwalk more recently, too. Think: The low-slung straight leg jeans for Diesel's fall 2025 collection, or all the shimmery and glitter-studded straight legs at Versace's fall 2025 show, or even the slouchy, not-quite-skinny jeans for Dsquared2's fall 2025 collection. While the straight leg jean has become a fave in the run up to summer, the style clearly isn't going anywhere. Bella Hadid—who I consider a sort of soothsayer when it comes to jeans—has also been on the straight leg jeans trend for a minute. Often pairing hers with a vest and trainers, or sometimes a lil stiletto, the 28-year-old model has got straight leg outfit combos down to a fine art.

Set alerts, use filters and buy less: everything I've learned about secondhand shopping
While waiting for a show during London fashion week in February, I and a few fashion writers, stylists and editors were admiring each other's outfits. Surprise, surprise, we discovered that the pieces we loved most were preowned (and largely from charity shops, I might add). The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. It's no secret that industry insiders love secondhand fashion: Kate Moss is known for her love of vintage; British Vogue recently hosted a vintage sale in collaboration with eBay; celebrities such as Zendaya, Kendall Jenner and Miley Cyrus are turning to archive looks for their red carpet appearances; even Selfridges now offers Reselfridges, a range of preloved designer bags and accessories. I love buying secondhand. I am nearly always wearing something vintage, whether it's the Levi's 501s I discovered in a thrift store or one of the many classic Ralph Lauren Oxford shirts I've bought from every resale marketplace going. I love the thrill of stumbling on something you can't get anywhere else. My fashion week piece of note, for instance, was an unusual silk tie that I found in a Shelter charity shop in west London. And I once bought a vintage Christian Dior shirt for just £60. Writing about how to shop online for secondhand clothes for the Filter, therefore, was pretty much my dream commission. Yet fashion insiders aren't the only ones wise to the perks. The global secondhand clothing market is expected to grow almost three times as fast as the overall global clothing market by 2029, according to a report by ThredUp. Besides the obvious benefits of more affordable prices and one-of-a-kind pieces, this rapid rise is also down to an increasing concern for the planet, and recognition that fast fashion is contributing to the mountains of waste. By saving old clothes from landfill, shopping secondhand extends the life cycle of each garment and reduces its overall environmental impact. That means using fewer resources, and less energy and water – Oxfam reported last year that buying one pair of jeans and a T-shirt secondhand can save the equivalent of 20,000 standard bottles of water compared with buying them new. With the fast-fashion market at an all-time high, buying preloved could be the sustainable antidote the world needs. Where do you start? My first choice is Vinted, but I also regularly browse eBay and Depop, as well as thrift stores and, most of all, charity shops. I keep tabs on the brands I like, saving searches with alerts on my favourite luxury labels, such as Wales Bonner and Bode, as well as preppy names like Gant and Aimé Leon Dore for the classics. I always use filters to limit the results to listings that are the right size and fabric – there's nothing more frustrating than finding the perfect piece that's slightly the wrong fit. I delve into all this and more in my guide to vintage shopping, covering everything from how to use the 'trending' sections of platforms to how to stop impulse buying: even when you're shopping secondhand, the 'buy less, buy better' mantra rings true. I also highlight preloved sites that may not be on your radar. So, the next time you get complimented on your (secondhand) outfit, you know who to thank.
