November 21, 2021 at 06:30AM If you’re asking us, we’d say winter is the best season to invest in a new fragrance. Not just because it’s Christmas and perfumes make for the best gifts, but because it’s during the winter months that you really get the most out of them. For starters, we tend to be out and about a lot at festive soirées and get-togethers, meaning we’re never short of reasons to pull out our favourite scents. On top of that, unlike lightweight summer spritzes that evaporate in a matter of minutes, the cold weather means your perfume is much more likely to stay put all day long.And sure, while warm, heady perfumes tend to reign supreme in winter, that’s not to say there isn’t a winter fragrance for every perfume taste. Whether you like heavy woody notes, sweet gourmands or even fresh earthy scents,…

November 21, 2021 at 06:30AM At Who What Wear, shopping is what we do. It’s what we’re good at. And if you’re currently reading this, we have a hunch that you appreciate all forms of retail therapy just as much as we do. We trust, then, that the term “Christmas shopping” isn’t going to make you break out into a cold sweat. So let’s cut to the chase. The festive season is coming—this we know. And it makes sense to start scouting out the perfect gifts for your nearest and dearest early. And one gift that always goes down well is beauty products.Beauty buys always make for a brilliant gift suggestion. Sure, we all have favourite products upon which we rely. Still, there’s nothing quite like receiving that new cult eye shadow palette that you couldn’t justify buying for yourself or unboxing a gift set…

November 21, 2021 at 06:04AM As we hit the halfway point of November, it seems as though winter has finally caught up with us. Temperatures are dropping below 10ºC, piles of leaves are congregating on kerbs and Christmas decorations are starting to appear on high streets across the country. Naturally, this time of year requires a bit of a pivot clothing-wise, and we’ve spent the last week brushing up on our layering game and digging out sturdy boots, chunky knits and enveloping coats. If, in the course of your cold-weather sorting, you realise that you need to fill in a couple of holes, then allow me to show you some of my favourite pieces from high-street heroes Mango, Reiss and Marks and Spencer.Covering everything from party-ready separates to versatile cashmere knits, I’ve tried to hand-pick items that I believe will not only feel suitably fresh this season but…

November 21, 2021 at 06:07AM For a moment, I actually believed the only coat/jacket I would see this season is that The Frankie Shop quilted style (we all know the one). Then, to my surprise the fashion people pulled through with yet another form of outerwear to fill my Instagram feed. Although not all from the same brand this time – even though they look extremely similar – they all have the same thing in common, and it’s all about the colour. Let me introduce you to the salt and pepper coat, aka your new best friend. Usually used when describing dark hair with grey or white flecks in, the coat in question is much the same. A mix of grey, white and black threads creates a textured herringbone or flecked effect that’s proving to be a huge hit this season. Best part? It’s the high street brands that are…

November 21, 2021 at 06:03AM Coming up with your own Christmas wish list can be harder than buying presents for anyone else. I know, I know—this is hardly the biggest problem anyone has ever faced, but I always dread having to answer the inevitable question posed by your parents, partner, or siblings: What do you want for Christmas? Of course, what you actually want for Christmas might not be the thing you tell them. While I always default to candles and skincare, I would never dream of telling my mum that the candle I would really like costs £145 (more on that later). This got me thinking—what would my no-holds-barred, wildest-dreams Christmas wish list look like? I decided to find out.Over the last few weeks, I’ve been making a fantasy list of gifts ideas for women that would make me speechless on 25 December. It’s indulgent—and it’s…

November 21, 2021 at 06:02AM As the runways become increasingly seasonless, so do our wardrobes. This, of course, is aided by the fact we live in Britain, where only a few weeks in the summer and winter feel truly distinguishable. As a consequence, boots have become something of a year-round staple, which makes investing in the right pair so important. Get it right, and you’ll have purchased something you could very realistically wear for near-enough 300 days out of the year (give or take). And it just so happens now is the perfect time to discuss the boot trends that matter in 2021 that you can carry through to next year, too. After considering the most noteworthy ensembles with boots from the 2021 runways, you can see there are some key looks that are perennial and don’t feel tethered to any particular season. Still, this is…

November 21, 2021 at 06:00AM & Other Stories is widely known for its stylish and affordable knitwear, and every season we discover a new style that captures our attention. This season, it comes courtesy of a classic collared cardigan. Simple? Undoubtedly. But it’s a winning staple that you’re bound to wear for many years to come. We’ve also lost track of the number of fashion editors we’ve seen wearing this cardigan, which is always a good sign. Coming in five different colourways—from cream and green to purple and black—the cardigan can be adapted for every occasion and wardrobe. We reckon it would look just as good with jeans and boots as it would with midi skirts and dresses or even layered over a slim-fit roll-neck for that matter. Now that’s what we call good cost per wear. So if you’re in need of an affordable winter knit to keep you cosy for many…
