November 28, 2021 at 07:47AM Leggings are a wardrobe staple we’re not sure we could ever live without. When you’re lounging or heading to a workout class, there’s really nothing else that comes close to them in terms of comfort and versatility—until now. It’s not that leggings are going anywhere, but there's a new athleisure trend emerging that may jeopardize their long-standing reign: activewear bodysuits.If the thought of wearing a bodysuit (and nothing layered over it) scares you, you’re not alone. It's a rather divisive trend, to say the least. But sure enough, the celebrity crowd has already taken to wearing bodysuits in place of their leggings. We recently spotted Jennifer Lopez and Alessandra Ambrosio—two celebs who are seemingly always en route to the gym and clad in leggings—testing out the trend. They both opted for the same bodysuit from Beyond Yoga, a black capri-length one-piece with a halter tank–style top.We’re well aware that…

November 28, 2021 at 06:30AM I’m putting it out there: I’m a candle hoarder. I have drawers full of them. From fresh, airy scents to woody, spicy aromas, I’ve got a plethora of options in my collection—one for every mood. And as a candle obsessive, we’re finally entering my favourite time of the year. With Christmas approaching, I’m gearing up to unwrap all of the most festive scents in my collection and turn my home into a Christmassy grotto.The only problem is that when it comes to Christmas scents, I’m seriously fussy. The idea of filling my room with the sorts of traditional heady, sickly scents associated with Christmas makes me want to run for the hills. I like my festive candles to smell fresh and crisp but with a warming (but not headache-inducing) base that makes me want to snuggle up under a blanket.…

November 28, 2021 at 06:30AM After a feature on the affordable beauty products that I love just as much as their high-end counterparts, I had an influx of questions coming from friends and colleagues about what other beauty dupes were lurking on the shelves of the high street. Well, it turns out there are plenty.Today, I’m going to be honing in on skincare—mainly because when it comes to my beauty routine, this is what most of my dosh goes on. Skin is big business in the industry, and generally, I think there’s a perception that spending more money on a skincare product means that it will work more effectively. Well, friends, I’m here to tell you otherwise.While there are plenty of luxury skincare options in my regular routine, I’ve also found a fair amount of affordable alternatives for when you don’t want to…

November 28, 2021 at 06:04AM Hands up who wants to dress like the French? That’s everyone then. Although we’re adamant part of their innate power to always look incredible is down to the items they wear, it’s also down to how they wear them. Backing basics for decades–from the Breton tee and trench coat to oversized blazers–the women in France know how to put pieces together. And this, friends, is how we can learn to copy their style credentials. There’s a certain way French women always wear jeans, and lately it seems to be with the ever-versatile shacket that’s been loved for many seasons now. And when it comes to knitwear, the French girls are making a case for cardigans (and knit vests) over supersize collar shirts. Proving that basics needn’t be boring, these are the three outfit formulas French women rely on to look…

November 28, 2021 at 06:00AM Here in the UK, we have become pretty adept at the art of good outwear. We spend roughly 80% of the year cocooned in coats, so it figures that they should become a key part of our year-round capsule. I like to consider myself a bit of a coat aficionado and over the years have tried to identify the styles that are worth the investment in the long run.While there will always be a place in our wardrobes for those clean-lined classics (you can’t go wrong with a tailored coat in navy or black, IMO), I have also found that timeless doesn’t always have to mean minimalist. Sometimes a pop of colour or statement fabric can be a fun way to add interest to your cold-weather basics. It’s just about keeping your mind open and considering what will fit well into both your…

November 28, 2021 at 06:00AM Back in November, we gave a shout-out to all our readers to find out exactly what it was that you wanted to read. An overwhelming number of you asked to hear more about the independent fashion brands that needed our extra support in the midst of the pandemic. Well, we would expect nothing less, and of course, we were more than happy to oblige. While restrictions are starting to ease, we believe it is more important than ever to continue supporting these brands. It’ll be a long road to recovery, but it’s a cause we’re ready to fight for.We are self-confessed small-brand obsessives here at Who What Wear, and there’s nothing we love more than to champion those labels that are doing exciting things in the industry, whether it’s dedicating themselves to fairer wages or creating garments out of upcycled fabrics. Really, we’re spoilt for choice, but we’ve put our…
