Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, our monthly newsletter where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.
It’s March, which means winter is finally over (…sort of). While the first two months of the year have us deep in the cold, March reminds us of the new season to come, with spring shining just around the corner. For the fashion crowd, the beginning of the month brings the Autumn/Winter 2024 season to a close, with Paris Fashion Week rounding off an amazing month of stunning catwalks and eye-catching designs.
From immediately viral Coperni bag (made of 99% air) to a Kate Moss doppelgänger at Marine Serre, the last few fashion weeks have given us a lot to talk about. But while style takes center stage, beauty is also making moves, with Pat McGrath almost breaking the internet with her porcelain skin makeup at Margiela and Loewe proving that bowl cuts are the next hair trend.
But just because fashion month is over doesn’t mean the beauty and style space has nothing exciting to offer. This month, an internet favorite sunscreen gets a makeover, alongside a star-studded campaign from a high street darling. To discover all the new March releases turning our heads this month, read on.

Veja Reissues OG Sneaker
Even if you don’t own a pair yourself, everyone who loves footwear knows about Veja. The French brand launched 20 years ago and quickly became known for its chic styles, eco-friendly approach to design and fans (hello, Meghan Markle). Now, to celebrate the important milestone, Veja has re-released its original sneaker, The Volley. Inspired by the Brazilian volleyball shoes of the 1970s, The Volley is now available in nine different colorways, made from ultra-soft leather from Uruguay and features rubber soles for extra comfort.

Molly Goddard launches new bridal collection
When we think of Molly Goddard, we think of voluminous gowns with sparkling layers of tulle and taffeta that look like they belong in the pages of a fairy tale. The London-based designer offers all of this — and more — with her latest bridal collection. The line includes four dresses, each named for a spring month. March, for example, boasts a scoop neck and full skirt, while June is a more subtle silhouette with a cinched waist.

Warby Parker x Theophilio
When Jamaican-American designer Edvin Thompson of buzzy New York label Theophilio and eyewear brand Warby Parker began talking about a possible collaboration, Thompson knew he wanted the resulting products to reflect his past, present and future. That’s how the limited-edition Shaunie sunglasses — available in four Jamaican-inspired colorways (including a cool green-red combo and a sunny yellow) — were born. “These sunglasses are like a memoir for me,” Thompson said in a press release. “I see my teenage years and my parents in them, but I also see the shape of things to come. This collaboration is about where I’m coming from as a designer and where I’m going next.”

COS releases the advertising campaign of the Spring Summer 2024 collection
There are few retailers that capture people’s attention more than COS. Popular for its stylish simplicity at a (somewhat) affordable price, the brand boasts some of the best chunky winter knitwear on the market. However, his warm-weather attire is a must-see, from linen pants to stylish tees. This year is no different as the brand has released its latest spring/summer campaign featuring tailored trench coats, lightweight tracksuits and relaxed athletic looks. Starring BAFTA-winning actor Jack O’Connell and musician and Brit-nominee Rina Sawayama, the ocean shoot has us longing for the return of sunshine and an Aperol Spritz to match.

Kayali launches Oudgasm Smoky Oud 07 EDP
Saying goodbye to winter is a lot easier when we have a new and refreshing scent in our arsenal. Luckily, Kayali has us covered this month with the release of the fifth fragrance in their Oudgasm collection, Smoky Oud. In the family of earthy and woody fragrances, oud is known for its sticky and smoky aroma. The latest fragrance in the collection has been described as the “most intense” by founder Mona Kattan, with the fragrance combining spicy saffron with cedar and white powdery musk to create a warm and luxurious scent. Infused with balsamic rum and aromatic geranium to round out the fiery scent, this is one for those who like their scents strong and sensual.

Fresh Launches Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Ointment
While winter may be behind us, that doesn’t mean the remnants of cold weather haven’t put our skin through its paces. Enter: Fresh’s Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Ointment. For those obsessed with lip balm, this new treatment promises to take the hydration game to the next level, thanks to one sweet and simple ingredient: sugar. Aimed at restoring dry and flaky lips, the humble ingredient is scientifically proven to soothe uncomfortable areas with long-lasting hydration.

FARM Rio x Adidas celebrates 10 years
You know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun, just the way Farm Rio and Adidas are celebrating 10 years of partnership this March. Unveiling a new capsule collection to mark the milestone relationship, the commemorative drop will continue to fuse the Brazilian fashion brand’s bold and bright pieces with the sportswear giant’s famous three-stripe designs. While the anniversary means several collections will be released throughout the year, the first consists of 11 pieces and pays homage to the warmth of the sun with an array of groovy prints in bright reds, yellows and oranges. From shirts to sports bras, this is a collection we’re keeping an eye on for the upcoming spring season.

Dublin Dusk luxury scented candle by Rathbornes
This candle isn’t new — in fact the Dublin-based company dates back to 1488! — but they are 1000% worth it. The heavy pieces look like amazing centerpieces, the scents are subtle but strong (my favorite, Dublin Dusk, has notes of oud, cedar, and ginger), and they last much longer than a typical Unmarried relationship. (PS This long burn time is partly due to a two-day pour technique.) I’ll take 100, please.

Five students were selected to create imaginative, youthful, fresh women’s sneakers, which are now available at Nordstrom for a limited time. Styles include patchwork denim sneakers, pink and orange platforms, and white crystal embellishments. Prices range from $120 to $180.
