July 09, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

July 09, 2021 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Who What Wear readers are obsessed with two things: dresses and shoes. These two subjects always dominate our So Should I Buy This? Facebook group, and now that we find ourselves on the cusp of bare-leg season, they’re proving to be all the more practical.While we’re quick to cover the latest trends across both wardrobe items, we thought we’d go back to basics and have a look at the shoes we should be wearing with dresses this summer. As such, we can conclude that there are seven key footwear styles that seem to suit dresses more than other shoe types.Chances are you’ll already own some (if not all) of the shoes on our list, but that’s the beauty of taking a step back from the noise of the trends and, instead,…

July 09, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

July 09, 2021 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…

July 09, 2021 at 08:00AM I really love jeans. While I’m not about to change my name to Levi Strauss, I do own around 20 pairs, which is probably quite a lot. But in my defence, they make up the majority of my wardrobe, and half of the pairs have been in there for a long time—from the skinny Topshop Joni’s I keep just in case (no matter how “cheugy” they are) to a pair of boyfriend jeans I snapped up in a sale for a tenner 10 years ago which I still wear today. Currently, I have a couple of favourites I wear on repeat: wide-leg ecru jeans from L'Agence and a pair of dungarees from Frame. While I don’t want to admit that I’m a big fashion-editor cliché, both the aforementioned pairs are very much on-trend right now. It’s why, then, that I wasn’t really expecting this last jeans trend to…

July 09, 2021 at 06:09AM I don’t know if it’s a ripple effect from the last year and a half or a byproduct of being in my 30s, but now more than ever, I find myself gravitating towards simple outfits. While statement-making looks—particularly those found on the red carpet—are always fun to look at, when it comes to getting myself dressed, I’m into ensembles that require as minimal effort as possible whilst still looking cool, of course.This might sound like a lot to ask for, but I’ve already found the solution. You need only scroll past a handful of images on your Instagram feed to see that oversized shirts are summer’s breakout buy. Fashion types have seemingly bought them in bulk to throw on with everything from straight-leg jeans and drawstring shorts to elegant midi skirts.I’ve pulled together six chic but discerningly simple looks I…

July 09, 2021 at 06:04AM Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through cooler days (which will probably be here before we know it) and right into the time when it turns really cold. Thankfully, online retailers are preempting our shopping whims and are already starting to slowly fill their new-in sections with knitwear and trench coats. So although it might seem early, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it.The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions which feel really relevant for the upcoming season. Think chunky track-sole boots worn with slip skirts,…

July 09, 2021 at 06:00AM If you’re not overly familiar with Dyson haircare, let me offer you a brief overview. Back in 2016, the brand, previously known for crafting high-end vacuum cleaners, hand driers, and fans, launched into beauty with the Supersonic Hair Dryer (£300). It promised intense power with minimal noise and, most importantly, minimal heat damage. Then, two years later in 2018, it released potentially one of the most innovative hair tools that the industry had ever seen: the Airwrap (£450), a multi-use tool (again with minimal heat) that offers a full blow-dry experience at home by utilising an air-flow Coanda effect for bouncy curls. In short, Dyson’s track record means that when the brand talks, we listen. A small caveat, however, is that Dyson haircare products are exceptionally expensive. The Supersonic will set you back a cool £300, while the Airwrap varies in price from £400 to £450, depending…

July 09, 2021 at 06:00AM Georgia May Jagger is into beauty in a big way. “My parents were a little bit strict with me not being allowed to wear mascara or anything until I turned maybe 13, so as soon as I was allowed to wear makeup then I was fully in,” laughs Jagger. It makes perfect sense, then, that the British model is the face of the new Hourglass Refillable Curator Eyeshadow Palette—a sustainable, customisable palette that allows consumers to pick from 40 beautiful powder eyeshadows to create a unique-to-you compact. “I just love the concept,” explains Jagger. “I think it’s amazing because I was able to curate it myself. I love playing with makeup and I think it’s really important to be able to pick out colours that work for you." But with direct access to some of the biggest names in beauty…

July 09, 2021 at 06:00AM We fashion journalists like to talk a lot about “forever items” and “staples,” and in all honesty, I do think that both the industry and the general public are slowly becoming better at having a more measured approach to deciding what we actually need in our wardrobes. But sometimes the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and so I wanted to share with you one particular item of clothing that I’ve now owned for over eight years that is still going strong: a simple black blazer from Theory. I stumbled across the blazer in TK Maxx the year after I graduated, and I was instantly won over by the impeccable fit and 100% silk fabric, which felt so premium yet wearable at the same time. Not only that, but it was also priced at a very budget-friendly £50, so I did not hesitate to…
