November 09, 2021 at 07:00AM When the M&S Christmas ad airs on TV, you know that we’re officially entering the festive season. Over the last week or so, the high street has well and truly embraced the spirit of the season with everything from stocking fillers to party dresses to glitter-strewn decorations. (I’ve even spotted the odd Christmas tree in a few living-room windows.) Is it just me, or are people keen this year? And let’s be honest, after last year’s Christmas, we are very much deserving of full-blown festivities. Naturally, as a shopping editor, I have already started my wish list. (Yes, I am one of those people, and I’m okay with it.) And M&S’s Christmas edit has provided plenty of yuletide inspo.From cosy homeware and enviable accessories to classic coats and beauty buys, there’s so much to love from this high-street stalwart. Naturally,…

November 09, 2021 at 06:30AM Like carrying a designer handbag, there’s just something about a fresh manicure or a sleek pedicure that makes you walk taller. It’s a small luxury that goes a long way in making you feel more confident, which is precisely why nail appointments are so in-demand. When salons reopened earlier this year, we vowed we would never take our manicure appointments for granted ever again.However, with that being said, after many months of giving our nails a bit of a rest from gel manicures, we did notice our nails started to feel healthier and stronger without them. In fact, there was something quite freeing about being able to switch up our nail colours at home with ease.And although our efforts cannot and will never compare to that of a professional, what we did discover after a year of at-home nail painting is that not all nail polish…

November 09, 2021 at 06:30AM My hair has recently reached that awkward in-between length: it’s no longer the mid-length lob that I visited the hairdressers for last year but it can’t quite be considered a long hairstyle yet. Instead, it’s sitting rather uninspiringly on my shoulders causing me to seriously consider going for the chop. I’ve experimented with shorter hairstyles over the years but have never taken the plunge into a full-on bob.However, with my Instagram saved folder full of some of this year’s biggest hair trends, I have to admit that I’m seriously tempted to forgo my lengths in favour of something shorter, choppier and infinitely cooler. And a quick look online confirmed Kourtney Kardashian to Lily James, so many celebrities have undergone major short hair transformations over the last couple of year, and their styles look seriously amazing.So much so that the idea of going for a bob has never been more appealing. If you’re unsure what style…

November 09, 2021 at 06:12AM Like sandals are to summer, ankle boots come winter are a sure thing. This particular piece of footwear is a cornerstone of colder-weather wardrobes, and for good reason. Choose carefully, and you’ll live in them for the whole of this winter and the next one too. Scratch that—you’ll wear them all year, even on those chilly spring and summer days. This, however, makes choosing that all-important pair of ankle boots all the more difficult. Sure, you want them to be versatile, but you also want them to feel trendy, too. So, if you haven’t quite made a decision on which ankle boots you’ll be investing in this year, then allow us to help. A couple of notes before we delve into this season’s coming ankle-boot trends. While last year there was definitely a focus on those classic hero pieces, in 2021 there’s a…

November 09, 2021 at 06:08AM Dressing for winter doesn’t need to be all black woollen coats, blue jeans, and oversized beige jumpers (though that’s not to say these classic pieces don’t deserve a place in your wardrobe). There’s plenty of fun and creativity to be had when it comes to assembling your cold-weather get-ups, and the high street is the perfect place to find new additions to breathe new life into your existing wares. This is why I decided to curate an edit of the best high-street winter fashion 2021 has to offer. Basma Kahie’s Arket trench coat, boiler suit, and white boot look is perfect for winter. The high street is always the first place I turn when I’m in need of a fashionable fix, but that doesn’t mean their appeal is fleeting. In fact, some of my favourite pieces that I pull out year after year come…

November 09, 2021 at 06:06AM If there’s anyone who has mastered the art of wardrobe basics, it’s Zoë Kravitz. The actress has been on my Pinterest boards and Tumblr mood boards for as long as I’ve been interested in celebrity style, and I’ve yet to tire of her simple yet effortlessly cool outfits. If you’ve been keeping up with all things Kravitz, you’d know that she’s been stepping out in New York (with boyfriend Channing Tatum, no less) in outfits that have been making the internet lose its mind—this editor included.While 2021 Zoë Kravitz is a total vibe, taking a look at her recent street style has inspired me to do a deep dive into the archives of some of her all-time best ensembles. After spending the morning going through tonnes of street style imagery, I’ve decided that, in order to emulate her incredibly simple yet chic aesthetic, I need…

November 09, 2021 at 06:05AM If there’s one boot trend I’m excited for this autumn it’s a style that manages to walk that tricky tightrope between casual and sophisticated. This magical trend is at once super-smart (and therefore a refreshing break from stompy track-soles, even though I’ll still keep going back them, LBH) and yet still not so OTT or uncomfortable that I’ll have to compromise on ease or daily wear opportunities. Enter, the kitten-heel, pull-on, knee-high boots that will make every outfit feel a little more elevated with very little effort. I’m a big knee-high boot fan in general, so it didn’t take much persuading, but many in my existing wintry collection are very high of heel. After more than 18 months in the comfiest of flats, it’s hard to know whether I’ll ever shift back into full-on stilettos or platforms on a regular basis, but a lower lift…

November 09, 2021 at 05:00AM Have we always been obsessed with knitwear? I’m not sure we have. Looking back at the biggest fashions over the past few decades, there isn’t really much about the humble jumper or even cardi, save that moment in the ‘90s with the grunge cardi. But—and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here—we’re living in the days of great knitwear. A golden era, if you will. This vital part of our wardrobes, especially for those of us living in the northern hemisphere, has been turned from just a cosy item that keeps us warm to a real fashion statement. And how do we know this exactly? By working on the front line of trends and fashion, of course. Over the past few years at Who What Wear, we’ve seen an incredibly high interest in particular items…
