The crop top is one of this season’s biggest statement pieces, on and off the runway. Rocked most confidently by those with bodies that can, the crop top’s been seen on celeb midriffs from Diane Kruger to Rihanna and most recently by two of Hollywood’s favourite edgiest dressers.

The crop top trend has made a good friend of Miley Cyrus, who after being photographed in a demure Chanel dress earlier the same day, returned to flaunting her abs for an appearance on Good Morning America. There to promote Las Vegas’s iHeart Radio Music Festival alongside Ryan Seacrest and Keith Urban, Cyrus wore striped and perforated black and white crop top and full skirt from Marc Jacobs’ Resort 2014 collection. Keeping things decidedly simple, Cyrus accessorized with thin layered necklaces by Jennifer Meyer, white pointed-toe heels by Celine and a signature red pout.

Or see fashion by age: IN YOUR 20s | IN YOUR 30s| IN YOUR 40s | IN YOUR 50s | IN YOUR 60s | IN YOUR 70s

How important is it to dress age appropriately? This is a question that, when asked, will generate a variety of different answers. Fashion by age is hardly a new phenomenon, but the contrast between what is or is not appropriate for certain ages has changed overtime. There may be some styles that are thought to be more suited to one age over another, but as we all know by now, fashion is never that black and white.

Keeping that in mind, check out our selection of the best spring pieces that work for a variety of different ages. From bright printed pants to classic blazers, these beautiful bouquet pieces can work for any age.

With temperatures soaring, summertime is the perfect time to ditch the dark colours and lighten up with the perfect white dress (the PWD?). Jessica Biel showed us that white can be sweet and sexy with the two white-hot looks she rocked last week—first at the ESPY Awards, where she donned a flouncy Dior frock with killer Nicholas Kirkwood pumps, and again at Comic-Con, where she played up her feminine figure in a sexy peplum curve-hugging number. Caroline Sieber showed us that white can be demure with the gorgeous Chanel sheath the stylist wore during couture week, and we love the way her fedora gives the ensemble the perfect punch of summer style. This season it’s all about white with a twist, and we’ve got ten white-hot picks that will give you standout style all summer long for less than $155.

View every look Kate Middleton has worn since her engagement »

Last night, Will and Kate departed from their usual routine of charity events and public appearances to attend a meeting of the Thirty Club at Claridge’s Hotel―an exclusive group of media and advertising elites who have apparently been courting the prince for some time now. And, because there must be significance to everything the royals do, Will decided to finally be the guest of honour due to it being the year of his thirtieth birthday. However, as per usual, all eyes were on Kate, and here’s why:

Kate Middleton is notorious for her High Street style (think: Topshop, Oasis and Zara dresses) but not everyone is a fan—especially shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood, who told The Daily Beast about his higher footwear hopes for the princess:

While some seem doubtful, we feel that Kate has the chops to one day become a style icon rivaling her late great mother-in-law. Kate, if you’re reading this (Hi!!!), we think all it would really take is branching out from your jersey dresses and pea coats and embracing the incredible talent that London fashion has to offer. For the couple’s impending honeymoon (rumoured to be taking place in either Australia or Africa), we picked a slightly more daring designer honeymoon wardrobe that we think would be sure to help Katie that secure her a spot in royal fashion history.

The Bay’s full-tilt foray into high fashion continues apace. This Thursday and Friday, the Toronto Queen Street store is hosting a two-day extravaganza of British fashion, dubbed God Save the Queen. The Room will be transformed with installations and the opening night soiree will let the guest list-only crowd mingle with the cool kids of London fashion–Mark Fast, Marios Schwab, Erdem, Jonathan Saunders, Charlotte Olympia Dellal, Nicholas Kirkwood and Giles Deacon, who will be demonstrating his DJ prowess.
