Abercrombie & Fitch has come a long way since the 2010s when it was famed for its ultra low rise skinny jeans, white lace cami tops, flip flops and slogan jumpers that dominated our teenage wardrobes. 

In fact, we’d go as far as to say the American fashion retailer has almost ditched its former Cali vibes to deliver on trend and versatile staples, and we’re here for it. 

The skimpy dolly dresses have been replaced with chic mid-length creations that rival design brands, while the jeans category is ever expanding and offering alternative cuts to the skin tight stereotype. 

Speaking of, we have spotted an ultra flattering pair of High Rise Wide Leg Trouser Jeans that couldn’t be further from A&F’s former styles, which are proving hugely popular already. 

High Rise Wide Leg Trouser Jean

Crafted from a cotton and lyocell blend, these full-length jeans are comfortable, lightweight yet structured. It features a high rise waistband and a wide leg fit from the hips to the ankles. Available in nine colourways. Sizes range from waist 23 to 38, as well as extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long lengths.

Not only are we fans of the High Rise Wide Leg Trouser Jeans, but so are fellow shoppers. According to the website, this style is top-rated with glowing reviews from shoppers, and has almost sold out, which is a testament to its popularity. 

The High Rise Wide Leg Jeans have been crafted from a cotton and lyocell blend, which are soft, comfortable, and lightweight yet structured – hence the hybrid ‘Trouser Jean’ title. 

The title of this wardrobe staple doesn’t leave much to the imagination. It boasts a high rise waistband, which elongates your legs, cinches in your stomach, and provides extra coverage. These jeans hug the waist, but fall into a wide leg cut from the hips all the way down to your feet. 

These full length jeans are ideal to wear all year long, as you can style with flip flops, ballet flats, trainers, heeled boots and kitten heels. 

The classic wide leg jeans are available in nine colourways, including black, grey wash, dark denim, a rinsed denim, washed denim with frayed hems, as well as pale pink, butter yellow and ecru with embroidered detail. 

While these jeans do not have any stretch or elastic in the fabric blend, they are available in various waist and length sizes so you can find the perfect fit.  The waist ranges from 23 to 38, while the leg length spans from extra short to extra long. 

Select sizes in certain colourways have either sold out, or have limited sizes, so you will want to shop quickly so not to miss out on the staple, which fetches £75. 

We would pair these wide leg jeans with a classic white tank top and sandals for the last of the summer sun, slip on a linen or cotton shirt for coverage, or a suede jacket for extra warmth and trainers. Alternatively team with Western cowboy boots and a fringed jacket in the Autumn, a crisp white shirt, or a glitzy top, blazer and heels for date night. 

While we consider Abercrombie & Fitch’s Wide Leg Trouser Jeans a capsule wardrobe essential, you may want to hear it from other shoppers. 

One shopper, who goes under the title Nui, hailed these the ‘perfect jeans’, while a separate customer added: ‘Perfect fit. Super comfy. Love that different lengths are available. They sit just above the belly button, so it’s very flattering.’

Kaylah weighed in: ‘Abercrombie always makes the best jeans. Super flattering and the perfect length (bought the short).’

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, looked stunning at the Women’s Rugby World Cup Match at the weekend, and Prince William’s wife rewore her vintage Chanel bag.

Kyle Richards of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills looked incredible at her daughter Alexia Simone Umansky’s wedding, wearing a fabulous purple sequin dress. Also in attendance was her ex, Mauricio Umansky.

Princess Eugenie looked incredible in a polka dot Rixo dress as she partied in Seoul with DJ and producer Peggy Gou. The stunning dress is a classic style that could be worn at any age.

‘I’ve physically not been able to put my arms down because the pain’s been so bad,’ Ellie says on TikTok.

She’d been using Mitchum’s 48-hour deodorant throughout the summer and began getting angry red marks under her arms and ‘weeping spots’.

‘The marks have been awful, not only unbelievably painful but also embarrassing for people to see, especially during holiday season,’ she adds.

What’s more alarming, is she’s not the only one having problems with the cult antiperspirant.

Ellie’s TikTok amassed 2.6million views in 24 hours, and is just one of countless videos sweeping the internet, where people are showing their armpits covered in the same red rash.

Another Mitchum user, Olivia, tells Metro: ‘After a few days of using it, I noticed I was getting a rash and really itchy underarms to the point where it was distracting me when I was trying to sleep.

‘The sensation was more like a stinging, like when you have dry hands and then use alcohol and gel on them – but the itchiness was the worst part.’

She’s since stopped using the roll-on and her irritation cleared up.

Another loyal Mitchum user of seven years (@marmite.12) had a similar reaction, claiming her pits were ‘on literal fire’ and she had an infection as a result.

Amongst the nearly 2,000 hashtags on the app relating to this issue, TikToker @summerx posted: ‘Mine was really bad to the point my whole armpit was blistered up and swollen. I’m left with permanent scarring on my armpits because of it!’

‘I’ve had the same issue,’ said TikToker Esmee Lewis. ‘Started off with awful burns that scabbed over, now they itch like crazy! I still can’t use deodorant… It’s awful.’

The brand’s Instagram page has also been flooded with comments over the past few days, claiming they’ve had burns on their arms.

What’s going wrong with Mitchum’s deodorant?

Discussion online centres on speculation that brand had changed an ingredient in it’s Mitchum 48-hour 100ml Roll-On anti-perspirant and deodorant formula — but Metro can reveal this isn’t the case.

In fact, we’ve solved the Mitchum mystery as the brand revealed the real truth to us.

‘We’re aware of reports from some customers regarding reactions to select batches of Mitchum 48-hour 100ml Roll-On anti-perspirant and deodorant sold in the UK, Ireland and South Africa,’ the brand tells Metro.

‘Consumer wellbeing is always our priority, and we are truly sorry some of our customers have experienced temporary irritation. This is not the experience they expect from us. We take this kind of feedback extremely seriously and have worked hard to investigate the cause.’

And now, Mitcham have finally got to the bottom of what’s going on.

‘We want to reassure there has been no change to the formula of our products, but we have identified a change in the manufacturing process affecting one of our raw materials,’ the spokesperson adds.

‘This has impacted how the roll-on interacts with the skin of some users.’

Mitchum says its now resolved the issue and it’s working to remove the products from the shelf, while also reverting to the original manufacturing process. This means you can buy Mitchum deodorant in peace, without having to worry.

It adds that it’s an isolated issue and that no other products it sells have been affected.

‘We ask that any consumers experiencing issues contact our Customer Care team and give us a chance to make this right,’ the brand says.

Why were we so loyal to Mitchum?

Since the brand was first launched in 1959 it’s become a cult product that thousands of us rely on to smell fresh. In fact, it’s the number one best seller on Amazon out of all antiperspirants.

It’s also been named one of the 16 best deodorants by Harpers Bazaar – that’s some pretty damning evidence.

Endorsed by the likes of Dr Alex, it’s popular for good reason. Redditors have dubbed it the ‘holy grail of antiperspirants’, purely because it does what it says on the tin – stopping you from sweating and smelling.

One customer said: ‘I’ve always used Mitchum roll-ons. They’re infallible, I never sweat or smell after I’ve used this.’

‘It took me ages to find the best deodorant and I now have this is it,’ another wrote.

So it’s not hard to see why so many were upset that their go-to solution for smelly pits was suddenly causing more harm than good.

At least we can all rest easy knowing we’ll soon be back to our regularly scheduled freshen up soon enough.

Topshop has made its long-anticipated return to high street, and we couldn’t be happier. 

The runway show over the weekend was impressive, and there are a number of items we bookmarked from the catwalk show. Thankfully, Topshop has its own website so you can shop the runway looks, and much more, now. 

So, it’s unsurprising we have a long list of items in our shopping basket, including the Flood Length Cupro Maxi Bias Skirt, which we think looks very similar to Faithfull The Brand’s Elise Skirt – just £183 less. 

Topshop Flood Length Cupro Maxi Bias Skirt

Crafted from a viscose and polyester blend, this floor length maxi skirt is lightweight and floaty. The maxi style skirt features a mid-rise waist and has been cut on a regular fit, which skims the body for a comfortable fit. It features a contrast stripe print on a diagonal, and is available in various colourways. It comes in UK dress sizes 4 to 18.

Topshop’s Flood Length Cupro Maxi Bis Skirt is a welcome alternative to the classic satin slip midi skirts we have lived in for years. Why? Because this design is longer in length, and offers a regular fit that allows this skirt to flow elegantly down the body without restricting mobility as much as the figure hugging midi bias skirt. 

This design has been crafted from viscose and polyester blend, which combine to create a lightweight woven fabric that can see you through all seasons. 

The skirt is a mid-rise design, though you can easily cinch it up higher for more coverage because there is length in the skirt to play with.

The Topshop design has a stripe front pattern, and it’s the blue, brown and cream variation that reminds us of Faithfull The Brand’s Elise Skirt. Though it is available in other colourways too. 

Similar to Topshop’s design, Faithfull The Brand’s original design has been crafted for a dual fabric blend, but the designer variation blends cotton and linen, which is lightweight, breathable and ultra comfortable. 

Though unlined, the material combined with the straight fit of this skirt lends itself to a floaty skirt. 

The main difference is the Elise skirt is a midaxi length as it falls to the ankles, rather than the long length alternative. 

While Topshop’s skirt is a slip on design, Faithfull The Brand’s skirt features a hidden zip closure, which offers a secure fit. 

This design features a diagonal stripe, though it is a finer asymmetric stripe than Topshop’s variation. 

The Topshop design is more inclusive as it is available in UK dress sizes 4 to 18, whereas Faithfull The Brand’s skirt comes in XS to XL sizes. 

The other huge difference is of course the price tag; Topshop’s skirt costs £42, while Faithfull The Brand’s design fetches £225. 

While you can style the Elise skirt with the matching bandeau top, which is sold separately, it can also be paired with a linen shirt, tank top, or oversize T-shirt. We would style the Topshop skirt the exact same way, but we would also pair with a chunky brown knit sweater in the winter and boots, so it is more versatile in our opinion than the designer buy.
