After a long, hot Euro summer, it’s time to turn our attention to September and one of our favourite moments of the year: fashion month. It’s runway noise and street style at full volume. It also means the return of the September dress code, the shift from beach to boardroom that can catch us out each year. To help you navigate this shift, here are a few trusted style and beauty staples to make your morning routine a little more straightforward.

These are the fashion and beauty picks Team Service95 turns to on the regular. Clothes, accessories, skincare and more to have you ready without a second thought, whether you’re pounding the pavement between shows or building a new ‘uniform’ for your 9 to 5.

The Shirt You Can Wear Everywhere

Chosen by Samantha de Haas, Head of Production: I’ve just come back from holiday, and I pretty much lived in this cotton-silk shirt by Asceno. Whether that was thrown on over my bikini, or over a pair of jeans in the evening – it meant most of my other clothes remained firmly in my suitcase. I’ll be wearing it all September, too.

The Mask That Will Bring Your Hair Back To Life

Chosen by Leila Wilkinson, Social Coordinator: I’ve never tried a hair mask like this one from Cécred. It has 12 moisturising butters and oils to hydrate and smooth cuticles. It only needs about 20 minutes to get to work – and it really, really does work. While it’s designed for curly and coily hair, it works across all textures in need of some moisture (even extensions and wigs). A new haircare staple for me.

The Sunglasses You’ll Wear Even When There’s No Sun In Sight

Chosen by Pia Brynteson, Partnerships & Content Manager: I’ve had my eye on these Jimmy Fairly sunnies all summer, to the point where they’re now all over my Instagram feed. I love a big shade – if the outfit isn’t quite giving what it needs to, a statement pair immediately does all the work for you. Instant polish, without you having to try.

The Blazer To Throw On For Instant Polish

Chosen by Olivia McCrea-Hedley, Commissioning & Features Editor: I’m rarely seen without a blazer. I have linen summer ones and woollen winter ones, and this AirSense one from Uniqlo is just right for between seasons. It’s lightweight, breathable and I like to shop from the men’s range for a boxier fit. Wear as a suit, with jeans, over dresses – anything, really. That’s the thing about tailoring: it instantly pulls a look together.

The Skin Cleanser Made For City Living

Chosen by Bronte Winnem, Team Assistant: This purifying cleanser is designed specifically for people living in cities who might be in need of a deeper cleanse, thanks to added pollution and other stressors. Moussse’s dermatologist-backed formula lathers up into a vitamin-rich mousse (it’s in the name), helping to lift impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils. A deep cleanse with none of that tight, dry feeling afterwards.

The Plant-Based Boost For Tired Skin

Chosen by Ben Olsen-Miura, Chief Sub & Production Editor: I picked this up in Iceland for my makeup artist partner – but quickly started sneaking it into my own routine. Bioeffect is a sustainably minded brand based outside Reykjavik, which has pioneered the use of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a skin-rejuvenating protein extracted from barley grown using geothermal energy. The result: a serum that supports collagen production, reduces wrinkles and delivers deep hydration.

The Bag You Can (And Will) Carry From Day To Night

Chosen by Olivia McCrea-Hedley, Commissioning & Features Editor: My kind of bag is one that will come with me to work during the week and to drinks at the weekend, and Coach’s Chelsea has become that girl for me. Its slouchy finish means it’s deceptively big, without feeling bulky. I like to tuck it under my arm like a pouch for more formal events – it’s the only thing I’ll be carrying for fashion month.

The Cuff To Dress Up Any Look

Chosen by Jaime Lee, Creative Lead: Jewellery is the finishing touch that makes even the simplest outfit feel considered and this cuff from Monica Vinader is one I keep coming back to. The green onyx adds a subtle pop of colour, while the sculptural gold vermeil design feels timeless rather than trend-led. It’s the kind of piece I wear daily, stacked with other favourites or on its own as an understated statement – and the stone matches my engagement ring.

The Fresh Flush That’ll Last All Day

Chosen by Pia Brynteson, Partnerships & Content Manager: I love blusher. Even if I’m having a ‘no-makeup’ day, I’ll still put some on to make me look alive. My collection is vast but curated – so know that when I introduce a new one, it must be good. I’ve worn Wonderskin’s Blush Stain in Toasty all summer. It’s a deep, almost burgundy shade that really complements a tan. Dab onto bare skin or over foundation for a gentle flush that won’t budge.

The Loafers, For Comfort That Still Looks Sharp

Chosen by Olivia McCrea-Hedley, Commissioning & Features Editor: I’ve been shopping in the men’s department again. (What can I say, I’m tall and the shoes cater to my size nines.) That’s how my love affair with Duke & Dexter loafers began. They’re handmade in London from buttery soft leather with designs that range from classic black to graphic-print ones if you’re after something more fun. This monochrome pair is classic, with a twist.

The Foundation Made For Your Skin, In Under Two Minutes

Chosen by Keshia Hannam, Global Editor in Chief: I haven’t typically worn foundation but that is mostly because I couldn’t be bothered to figure out my skin tone match. Enter Dcypher, which has created a real-time, mixed-to-measure beauty technology that you can go and visit in-store at John Lewis across the UK. It involves an AI skin scan – then you watch a completely bespoke foundation get squeezed out in front of you, mixed and bottled on the spot. Give me that 99.4% shade-matching accuracy.

The Actually Seamless, Actually Comfortable Underwear

Chosen by Ella Marlow-Gilks, Brand & Community Strategist: Every good outfit starts with a good base. My friend has been raving about the comfort of Underdays underwear for years, so when it announced it was launching bras, I was curious to check them out. Made from ultra-soft Tencel, the Soft Balcony Bra is supportive, flattering and so comfortable you’ll forget you were wearing it in the first place.

The Body Serum For A Little Self-Care

Chosen by Liv Thompson, Head of Business & Brand: My little end-of-day treat, which feels less like slapping on body lotion and more like you’ve booked yourself in for a treatment. The gel-to-oil texture melts in, the actives get to work improving skin texture and it smells like a warm cashmere jumper. Ten minutes massaging it into tired legs and arms before bed and you’ll feel like you’ve walked out of a treatment room, rather than your bathroom.

The Trainers That Still Look Sharp

Chosen by Jaime Lee, Creative Lead: I’m always on the hunt for trainers that balance comfort with style and these ones from Asics, designed by Griff, tick every box. The all-black colourway makes them endlessly versatile, whether I’m running between meetings, heading into the office or dressing down a more tailored look at the weekend. They have that effortless street-style appeal while still feeling polished enough to wear every day.
