ED’S LETTER

Glamour

LOOK

Let’s celebetra! • South Africa is and has always been a nation that turns to music and dance to help us connect and overcome adversity. This year, Sunglass Hut celebrates turning 50. So to commemorate the brand’s indelible impact on the world of style over the last five decades, we turned our clocks back to Africa in the ’70s – part-disco-part-Sophiatown.

SORBET dreams • Soft-hued sandals will put a spring in your step this summer.

The bold type • It’s time to ditch dressing down and laying low in favour of coming out of our shells and going all out. Let’s overcompensate for lost time. Why not be bold in your choice of colour, texture and silhouette? It’s been a minute since we’ve all dressed up, so let’s do exactly that!

Crop that! • The crop top is once again gracing runways. Add layers to embrace this trend without forfeiting comfort.

Dancing Queen • Young and free, only… OK, enough of the Abba lyrics. We’re all in desperate need of letting our hair down and dancing our blues away. Make sure you’re wearing something sparkly and glittery!

Walk this way • Sexy summer heels are a must-have in every fashion loving girl’s wardrobe. We love the variety of colours and square-toe options available this season. Don’t worry if you can’t walk in the skyscraper variety; the kitten heel is just as good an alternative.

WHAT’S ON OUR Fashion Radar? • CREATIVE. COLLECTIVE. CONNECTED.

Out with THE NEW • It’s time to take a hard look at your shopping habits.

PAN-AFRICAN FASHION Roundup 2021 • If you thought Africa’s fashion industry was going to disappear into the background whilst the world moved toward a pandemic-adjusted reality, 2021 proved you wrong.

Switch To digital • With a digital subscription, you’ll never miss an issue of Glamour, GQ or House & Garden. Here’s how to get the latest issues – without leaving home – in just a few clicks.

FEEL

Shades of saturation • Dripping in crystals and dipped in bursts of colour. This is all the party season fever inspo we need as we kiss 2021 au revoir.

WHAT’S ON OUR Beauty Radar? • We’re here for healthy and radiant skin, luxurious makeup collaborations that make us feel joyous and edibles that have multiple benefits. Here, our favourites for this season.

SUN SAFETY • An absolute must! Sunscreen shields your skin from harmful UV rays and prevents early signs of ageing, amongst other benefits. Find the best protection for your face and body here.

HAIR heritage • She’s the epitome of African success, talent and beauty. A modern African queen who celebrates her femininity and breaks boundaries whilst remaining true to who she is. Boity Thulo takes us down her hair memory lane and reveals why she partnered with Halo Heritage, and who inspired her on this journey and everything in between.

WHAT'S IN OUR EDITOR'S HANDBAG • Tis the season to spend, chuckle our Editor-in-chief Nontando Mposo and Beauty Editor Jesé Lillienfeldt-Hartman. Here, the must-have items currently in their handbags.
