October 30, 2021 at 06:03AM For the longest time, I only had eyes for block-heel ankle boots; no other boot style got a look in. However, a few years ago, I invested in the first knee-high boots I’d had since my teens, and they were a game changer. Aside from jeans, I very rarely wear trousers. Nine times out of 10, you’ll catch me wearing a midi dress. And after years of enduring chilly calves and not-quite-right hemlines and boot heights, knee boots swooped in and made every outfit (read: dress) I wore so much chicer and more put-together.Fast-forward to 2021, and I currently have four pairs of knee-high boots in my footwear rotation: an on-trend chunky pair from M&S, which I bought as soon as I saw them on editor Emma Spedding; a beige suede option from Sézane, which I invested in hoping it would make…

October 30, 2021 at 06:02AM Ah, jeans. Where would we be without them? As someone who avoided wearing them for the first 20 years of her life, in the decade that’s followed, I have integrated jeans into my wardrobe as easily as I have knickers and bras. I honestly don’t remember how I ever got dressed without them. And while they might not always be the most exciting thing to wear, they do open up countless sartorial possibilities.Fellow denim devotees will tell you that jeans have the potential to unlock excellent outfits, and you need only look to Instagram for proof. From Lauren-Nicole’s sleek take on the Canadian tuxedo to Ada Oguntodu’s penchant for retro flares to the way Felicia Akerstrom wears ecru jeans, you’re going to look at your denim drawer in a totally new light after seeing these next-level looks. Keep…

October 30, 2021 at 06:00AM While we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest trends, there’s something to be said for forgetting about what’s cool and embracing the classics. Especially when it comes to hair, the mix of trending haircuts and celebs undergoing colour transformations can make visiting the hair salon feel like you’re about to sit an exam. After all, what if you go for a daring new chop only to regret it a couple of weeks later? To help, I’ve done a little research into the hairstyles that have stood the test of time, and I’ve come up with an edit of five that always look timeless. From Alexa Chung’s bob to Jennifer Aniston’s long, layered locks, some tried and tested formulas never seem to go out of style.Keep scrolling to learn about the five styles and for plenty…

October 30, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite only being on the fashion scene for the last six years, Rixo has become a byword for trend-led party dressing. Whether it’s repping florals for a summer wedding or experimenting with sparkles for the first time since lockdown, the brand’s vintage-inspired pieces never fail to hit the mark. Considering that this year will be our first party season in over 18 months, I thought I’d take a little trip to Rixo’s store on the King’s Road to test some of the best pieces from its festive edit.In true Rixo style, it was a joyous celebration of print, throwback details and versatile silhouettes. The brand’s confetti print is a key theme in this season’s offering and reminds me of the sort of looks you’d see on ’90s runway models. Speaking of ‘90s, the shimmery Sandie top also won…

October 30, 2021 at 06:00AM If you haven’t already marked it in your diary, here’s a little reminder that the clocks go back tomorrow. And while I will certainly be mourning the dwindling daylight hours, I will also be secretly looking forward to fishing out my favourite chunky knits, sturdy boots and cocooning coats as the mercury starts to drop. Winter is almost here, and it’s time to embrace the cosy. You know you want to. We don’t really believe in items of clothing being explicitly "in" or “out” here at Who What Wear. However, we do like to take the opportunity to try new things as a new season arrives. That might mean swapping your faithful beige knits for a brighter shade or digging out your old bomber jacket and giving it a 2021 update with a midi skirt and chunky boots. After all, almost all fashion trends come and go;…

October 30, 2021 at 06:00AM I don’t know about you, but post-lockdown there was one thing that I was desperate to get back out and enjoy: IRL beauty treatments. Sure, there are plenty of treatments that we can do at home when necessary (nails, brows, and hair colour, to name a few), but there’s nothing like letting a professional go to town at what they do best. There’s no denying that in-salon treatments can be costly. (And for good reason—your treatments are being conducted by a pro with years of experience under their belt.) However, in my years as a beauty editor, there have definitely been times when I’ve been left feeling underwhelmed by a buzzy facial or trending massage—and when it’s your own money on the table, I think it’s important to know which treatments are genuinely worth your time and cash.Thankfully, team…

October 30, 2021 at 05:05AM One of the perks of being a fashion editor is that we sometimes get to try brand-new items before they’re even available to purchase. When we recently got the opportunity to try a new denim (and leather-pants!) launch from a perennially buzzy brand, we jumped at the chance. Amsterdam-based Wandler is already very well-known for its covetable handbags and shoes, so when we found out that it was getting into the trouser game, we were understandably thrilled and eager to get our hands on the goods. (Fun fact: Founder Elza Wandler used to be a designer for Levi’s premium Made & Crafted line.)The jeans and leather pants come in a variety of on-trend styles that are also timeless. Each is constructed of 100% cotton and features special signature details such as a leather belt loop at the back and a minimalistic silver-and-gold button. Four of us…
