Polka Dot Nails Are the Retro Summer Trend Making a Big Comeback
Perhaps it was Hailey Bieber's recent outing, in which the Rhode founder stepped out in a pair of giant polka-dotted Capri pants, or maybe the triumphant return of the motif on the runways of Bora Aksu and Moschino—but it seems the divisive dotty trend has reemerged from the archives. Polka dots have started creeping back into nail art trends this summer, too. From micro-dots that play on 'quiet luxury' and monochrome detailing to louder, bolder dotted prints and mismatched accents, polka-dot nails have shed their cute connotations and the old-school print is being revived for summer '25. 'Polka dots have exploded in popularity this season, offering a refreshing shift from more intricate designs or, conversely, super-minimalist looks,' agrees Daisy Kalnina, CEO and founder of The GelBottle Inc. 'We're seeing some really fun variations on the polka-dot trend this summer, from classic black-and-white to more vibrant color combinations. We're also seeing techs playing with scale—from delicate micro-dots to bold, oversized spots that make a real statement,' she notes. The allure of polka-dot nails 2.0 is simple: They're both elevated and cool but highly versatile, too. 'The versatility of polka dots is a huge factor owing to its popularity, as they can be combined with other trends effortlessly—think butter-yellow or pastel dots over a sheer base,' she adds. While intricate nail art such as polka dots can be tricky to master if you're not a pro, Kalnina says you can achieve the nail art yourself, provided you have the right tools and techniques. 'The easiest method is to use a dotting tool, but if you don't have one, a bobby pin, a toothpick, or even the end of a dried-out pen can work for creating perfect small dots,' she shares. 'The trick is to dab a little of your chosen polish onto a piece of foil, then dip your chosen tool into it before carefully creating your desired pattern on the nail.' Below, Kalnina breaks down the manicure trends to note for summer 2025: Teeny-tiny white polka dots on a chrome base add a minimalist touch while still feeling like an upgrade to a classic glazed or glass manicure. To play with monochromatic detailing, why not mismatch your hands with black-and-white bases and contrasting polka dots? French tips are the perfect way to embrace the trend in a more subtle manner. Just ask your nail tech for a dotted French manicure or use a dotting tool at home. For a nod to polka dots that still feels subtle and chic, this soft nail art ticks all the boxes. Though it has a dark base, this inverted manicure still looks fresh and playful for summer. Lemon yellow is dominating as the heatwave sets in. This French manicure pairs perfectly with subtle gold polka dots and a bold zingy yellow tip.

The politics of clothes and their sizes
When is the right time to get new clothes? I like clothes. Unfortunately, clothes don't always like me. Sometimes I won't wear something for a while and when I put it back on it's changed: it makes me look chunky, or it's suffering from a well-documented condition known as wardrobe shrinkage – when an item is left unworn for too long and the fibre shrivels so that it no longer fits. These are generally clothes of the glad-rag variety, special occasion wear that gets an outing every couple of years. It happens to shoes too: they get higher if you fall out of the habit of wearing them, so much so that I now need a stepladder to climb into my Stella McCartney heels. What is a woman to do with all these beautiful fripperies collected over the years, these barely worn items with labels, darling, labels. I've kept things forever, reasoning that maybe one of my sons would meet a tall girl in size seven shoes. Instead, they shacked up with elves and now it's time to face facts: these aren't going to be worn in this house again. So I arrange to take them to a second-hand designer consignment boutique, my little black Moschino dress still sporting its dry-cleaning ticket, my Stellas still in their box. They'll fall on these with relish, I think. The owner flicks through my hangers and peers into my shoe boxes, then folds her hands across her lap, looking at me kindly. Your pieces are lovely, she tells me, however 'they're not vintage and they're not in style. Shapes have changed.' 'They're dated?' I suggest. She nods. She'll be taking none of them. It's weird how personal it feels, like she's talking about me: not vintage, not in style, and the shape has definitely changed. She suggests two more 'pre loved, gently used' shops, where again I am met with sweet, practised pity. It must happen an awful lot. However, one suggests a charity store specialising in upmarket clothes, so I donate them there and they're delighted. Yes, I mourn my clothes, thinking maybe if I just lost weight, or changed shape, or changed life we could've worked together, but I guess I was thinking that all along, and mourning a version of me that was younger, sleeker. Dated. And now there's space in my wardrobe and I know a great charity shop. NOW READ: When clothes speak louder than words

Debenhams shoppers say £24 Moschino perfume 'that lingers' is 'total bargain'
Impressed perfume fans say the deal is "certainly a bargain at less than £25 for 100ml" Debenhams has wowed beauty fans by selling a designer perfume for a fraction of its original cost. The high-street retailer Debenhams transitioned to an online-only retailer in May 2021 after being acquired by Boohoo Group. The physical stores closed, and the brand now operates solely through its website. It sells a wide variety of items online, including perfumes, at discount prices. One of the deals currently getting rave feedback is its 71% discount on Moschino's I Love Love Eau De Toilette. A 100ml bottle of the designer scent typically sells for £83, but customers can grab it for just £24. The " irresistible joyful" citrus yet floral £24 perfume is described as "sparkling, lively and fun-loving". Its full description reads: "I Love Love is as youthful as the sentiment that inspires it, that oozing happiness from the very first moment." The top notes include orange, lemon, grapefruit, and redcurrant. The heart notes are cane, lily of the valley, tea rose, and cinnamon Leaves. Meanwhile, the base notes are Tanaka wood musk and cedar. The bottle sports a 'funky' design with a playful orange lid and a graffiti theme. Besides Debenhams, there are plenty of other floral and citrus-scented perfumes to consider. At Superdrug, you can get a 50ml bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau de Toilette for £34 - down from £70. At Boots, shoppers can get a 30ml bottle of Valentino Born In Roma Green Stravaganza Donna for £55 - down from £69. A 100ml bottle of Moschino's I Love Love Eau De Toilette on Debenhams currently has an overall customer score that's near-perfect - 4.9 stars out of five. One shopper said: "This perfume is so light and great for every day. I love the refreshing scent and I have used it for many years. A firm favourite for me." A second said: "Very refreshing citrusy scent, light and suitable for every day use. Perfect price on sale." A third put: "Bought this as a gift. Lovely attractive packaging. Will make a fab gift." A fourth was impressed by the cost, adding: "A real fruity, delightful, every day fragrance for all ages; certainly a bargain at less than £25 for 100ml." A fifth echoed: "Refreshing citrus smell, ideal as a daily perfume that lingers. Amazing price for 100ml." However, some weren't as impressed, with one commenting: "Unusual and fun looking bottle. It has fruity high notes which is pleasant but not memorable and doesn't stay long. However it's large bottle and was on offer, I wouldn't have bought it at the original price." Another had an issue with the scent, adding: "Smells nice but way too light." But, the majority of reviews were five star. A customer called Donna said: "Great value , lovely perfume, really fresh smell. Buy this regularly." Elle wrote: "I love it so much!! And it smells really good!!!!" Someone else said: "Beautiful smell as always with Moschino,and in the sale it was an absolute bargain." Debenhams only offers free home delivery on orders £25 and over, so if you are interested in the 100ml bottle of Moschino I Love Love Eau De Toilette, you'll need to bump up the price slightly in your basket to be eligible. Otherwise, the cheapest delivery option costs £2.99.

Black And Proud: 12 LGBTQIA+ Influencers Redefining The Culture
The Black LGBTQIA+ community has always been at the center of innovation. Despite being a marginalized group, their contributions to the culture run deep AF. Through fashion, beauty, lifestyle content, or music, the LGBTQIA+ creatives have transformed industries, challenged norms, and created space for authenticity to thrive. Today's gender-fluid fashion trends can be traced back to the ballroom scenes of Harlem, where Black and Latinx queer communities birthed and nurtured the art of the runway. Black LGBTQIA+ influencers like Jari Jones, Dexrated, and Aariana Rose Philip are now reshaping what representation looks like in high fashion. With campaigns for brands like Calvin Klein, Moschino, and Savage X Fenty, they're proving that queerness, Blackness, and style are not mutually exclusive—they are inseparable forces of brilliance. 12 Black LGBTQIA+ Influencers Source: Kristina Bumphrey / Getty In the world of beauty, Black LGBTQIA+ influencers are redefining standards and rejecting Eurocentric ideals. Creatives like Pradaolic (Myla), Ellesse Char, and Ericka Hart use their platforms to blend bold aesthetics with powerful messaging about body autonomy, race, gender, and healing. Their approach to beauty is not about perfection—it's about power, freedom, and radical self-love. From graphic liners to bald heads, glitter beards to no makeup at all, their choices are a reclamation of identity in a world that often tells them to shrink. Whether through home design, wellness practices, or entrepreneurship, Black queer and trans individuals are curating lifestyles that center authenticity, pleasure, and joy. They are living life loud and free. Figures like Jessamyn Stanley are creating space for fat, Black, queer bodies in the wellness industry, while voices like Jade Fox are reclaiming queer Black femininity in entrepreneurship. Their influence extends beyond aesthetics—it's about creating lives that reflect who they are, unfiltered, unafraid, and unapologetic. Music has ALWAYS been connected to Black liberation, Black resistance, and Black resilience. Within the LGBTQIA+ community, music holds that same power. From the soulful truth-telling of Kehlani, to the bass-heavy confidence of Saucy Santana, to the genre-blending poetry of Shea Diamond, Black LGBTQIA+ musicians are amplifying voices that have long existed in the margins. Their music challenges the binary, celebrates the erotic, and invites listeners into a space where identity is fluid and expression is infinite. Whether behind the mic or producing behind the scenes, their fingerprints are on every beat of modern sound. In a society that often tries to box in both Blackness and queerness, these individuals break the mold. They remind us that Black queer expression is sacred, it is necessary, and it is revolutionary. By living fully and publicly, they make it possible for others to do the same. Their work is not just style, sound, or vibe—it's survival, it's healing, and it's legacy. Black LGBTQIA+ creators are not a trend. They are architects of culture. It's time we do more than include them during Pride Month or Black History Month. Their contributions deserve permanent platforms, ongoing investment, and genuine respect. Let this not be a moment. Let it be a movement.

Her fashion moments serve sharp suits, elegant gowns, and powerful presence—both on and off the page. Queer, non-binary Black femme. A breast cancer survivor, educator, and style activist. Their fashion is political, body-positive, and bold as hell. UK-based Black queer makeup artist known for her graphic liners and Afro-futurist aesthetics. Her style is avant-garde and emotionally resonant. A queer beauty influencer fusing mental health, makeup, and queer culture. Expect intricate eyeliner looks, bold color palettes, and vulnerable storytelling. Plus-size queer model who's been featured in Savage X Fenty. His style challenges fatphobia in fashion, blending streetwear, runway glam, and soft sensuality. Actor, comedian, and fashion girlie.
