The Ultimate 2022 Capsule Wardrobe, In 9 Simple Buys

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Try as we may, right now, all we can seem to think about is 2022 and the new trends that come with it. If you’re a loyal Who What Wear reader, as I suspect you might be, you’ll have already devoured our spring/summer 2022 trend report, outlining every notable look, garment, and accessory we saw during September’s Fashion Month showcase. If this, however, is not the case, I suggest you take a look at it and meet me back here once you’re up to speed.Okay, now that you know precisely what the new collections look like, let’s talk about how to channel them in real life. We know the runways present an exaggerated interpretation of the trends. Still, I’m always interested in seeing how I can realistically add them to my wardrobe and work them into my daily outfits—this…

Kate Middleton Just Endorsed the Puddle-Pants Trend That’s Set to Take Over

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM When Kate Middleton wears jeans, they’re usually skinny. When she wears dresses, they’re midi, and when she wears trousers, they’re usually wide-leg. Such was the case today when she and Prince William visited volunteers at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London. Middleton showed her support for Ukraine by wearing a blue-and-yellow pin on a blue sweater. She also wore block-heel pumps and a pair of wide-leg trousers that can best be described as puddle pants. Puddle pants (and jeans) are basically loose and so long that they pool around the ankles. So in this case, save yourself a trip to the tailor and keep the ultra-long length intact—just don’t step out on a rainy day…Middleton’s pants are by British brand Jigsaw (did you know she once worked for them?), but plenty of others are getting in on the trend, and there are options at every price point.…

Blame Bridgerton—Here Are 11 Ways I’d Style a Corset Top This Century

March 26, 2022 at 06:58AM If you haven’t been on Instagram or TikTok in the past six months, let me fill you in on the main takeaway: Corset tops are trending. Though, I have a feeling demand for the piece is going to reach its peak over the next few days. Why? Because of Bridgerton, dear reader. The second season of the hit series has just begun streaming on Netflix, and if you’re one of the 63 million who succumbed to the first—which aired almost a year and a half ago, if you can believe it—will know that the show’s return is a pretty big deal. While RĂ©ge-Jean Page might not be resuming his role as the duke (something I’m still coming to terms with), there is one thing I know I can count on being the same: the fashion.Bridgerton is having a serious effect on our wardrobes. I’m always…

It’s Official: These 9 High-Street Stores Do the Best Jeans

March 26, 2022 at 06:49AM As far as shopping experiences go, finding a great pair of jeans on the high street used to be tough (IRL or online, TBH). But over the past few years, there’s been an influx of affordable styles, lengths and shapes that suit every body shape. It’s no longer good enough that “cheap” jeans should feel cheap, so gone are the days of ill-fitting, saggy pairs made of fabric that quickly wears away.Seeing as I only have one body (and different figures suit different jeans), I decided to put the question to our Facebook group So… Should I Buy This? on the jeans the members rate on the high street right now. There were some brands that were mentioned several times, and while I wouldn’t say there were any surprises, it’s clear that jeans have a lot of people talking, with over…

I Have Acne Scarring, and These Are the Only Products That Help

March 26, 2022 at 06:30AM For most of my life, I have been blessed with pretty clear and even skin. While many of my friends battled with acne at school and throughout their teenage years, my skin stayed clear and blemish-free. That was until I hit my late 20s and I started to develop adult acne. Since then, I struggle to name a time that my face hasn’t had some sort of breakout or blemish. It is as though every time a spot started to heal, another would crop up. And so, I have been in a three-year cycle of breakouts, healing and scarring.However, since seeking professional help from a dermatologist last year, things have been looking up. I haven’t had a notable breakout in four months (which is almost miraculous), and in terms of active spots, my skin is probably the clearest it has been…

I’ve Been Looking for the Perfect Spring Trousers, and COS Has Just Delivered

March 26, 2022 at 06:00AM When you’re searching for the perfect version of a certain wardrobe basic, it can come down to the smallest of details: the curve of a neckline, the exact shade of blue or the way a hemline grazes your calf just so. Well, this has definitely been the case in my recent search for the perfect pair of spring trousers.Despite being a confident dresser, I find that I struggle during the warmer months, and it doesn’t exactly help that I don’t wear many dresses. My thinking was that I’d just live in loose beige trousers, white T-shirts and chunky sandals for most of the summer. However, this meant finding a pair of beige trousers that didn’t look like I had just stepped out of a university sports club social.So what was I looking for? I wanted a wide, slouchy leg; ever so slightly low-slung waistline; and a pale…
