It’s March, which means winter is finally over (…kind of). While the first two months of the year have us deep in the blistering cold, March offers us a reminder of the new season to come, with spring shining right around the corner. For the fashion crowd, the start of the month draws the autumn/winter 2024 show season to a close, with Paris Fashion Week rounding off a phenomenal month of eye-catching catwalks and show-stopping designs.
From the instantly viral Coperni handbag (made from 99% air) to a Kate Moss doppelgänger at Marine Serre, the last few weeks of fashion have provided much to talk about. Still, while style has been taking centre stage, beauty has been making movements too, with Pat McGrath practically breaking the internet with her porcelain-skin makeup at Margiela and Loewe proving that bowl cuts are the next “it” hair trend.
But just because fashion month is over, doesn’t mean that the beauty and style space doesn’t have anything exciting left to offer. In the coming weeks, an internet-favourite sunscreen is getting a makeover, alongside a star-studded campaign from a high-street sweetheart. To discover all the new March launches turning our heads this month, read on ahead.

COS Releases Their Spring Summer 2024 Collection Ad Campaign
There are few high street retailers that hold people’s attention more than COS. Popular for its chic simplicity at a (somewhat) affordable price point, the brand boasts some of the best chunky winter knits on the market. However, its warm-weather clothing is something to behold too, from fine linen trousers to expertly cut T-shirts. This year is no different, with the brand releasing their latest spring/summer campaign featuring tailored trench coats, lightweight suiting and laidback athleisure. Starring BAFTA-award winning actor Jack O’Connell and musician and Brit-award nominee Rina Sawayama, the ocean-set shoot has us craving the return of the sunshine and an Aperol Spritz-sipping fit to match.

FARM Rio x Adidas Celebrates 10 Years
You know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun, which is precisely how Farm Rio and Adidas are celebrating 10 years of collaboration this March. Unveiling a new capsule collection to mark the relationship milestone, the commemorative drop will continue to merge the Brazilian fashion brand’s bold and bright patterned pieces with the sportswear giant’s famous three-stripe designs. While the anniversary means there will be multiple collections released throughout the year, the first is composed of 11 pieces and pays homage to the sun’s warmth with a series of groovy prints in bold reds, yellows and oranges. From shirts to sports bras, this is one collection we have our eye on for the spring season ahead.

Rathbornes’ Dublin Dusk Scented Luxury Candle
This candle isn’t new — in fact the Dublin-based company dates back to 1488! — but they are 1000% worth a shoutout. The weighty pieces look like stunning centrepieces, the scents are subtle but robust (my fave, Dublin Dusk, has notes of oud, cedar and ginger) and they last way longer than a typical Bachelor relationship. (P.S. That long burn time is partially due to a two-day pouring technique.) I’ll take 100, please.
