Friday FavesOctober 29, 2021 at 11:42AM Hi friends! Happy Friday and Happy Halloweekend 🙂 What do you have going on? I’m so excited for this weekend. The girls have a costume parade at their school, we’re carving pumpkins and have Trunk or Treat on Saturday, I’m teaching a barre class and a live Fit Team workout, and Sunday night, we’re taking the crew trick-or-treating with my dad and stepmom. I hope you have a fun weekend ahead, too! We had Trunk or Treat at the squadron last weekend, so it was fun to walk around and see all of the different trunks (some were so elaborate! My favorite was the one offering margaritas to the adults) and the kids spent the evening living their best sugar-buzzed lives. Liv wore her dead bride costume and P wore a giraffe costume we’ve had for years.…

5 Items That Aren’t Really “Basics” But Should Be

October 29, 2021 at 09:18AM Whether it be for autumn, another season, or year-round, we all know the typical checklist for fashion basics. It includes (but isn’t limited to) tees, jeans, button-downs, trainers, and more. However, there are certain pieces not on those lists that—within my own wardrobe, among our editorial team, and throughout the fashion industry at large—are, at this point, so common and essential they’re due for an upgrade. Sure, they seemed just like regular trends at first, but when something sticks around long enough or makes a big impression within a short amount of time, it deserves to be recategorized accordingly.As you probably guessed, today, I’m here to show, tell, and sell you on six such pieces. From shackets to sweater sets, these are the cool, new “basics” every fashion person is wearing on repeat. Trust me—you won’t regret investing in…

Zoë Kravitz Wore This Underrated Boot Trend on a Day Date With Channing Tatum

October 29, 2021 at 07:08AM Who’s your favorite Hollywood couple right now? I know newly engaged Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are definitely one of the buzziest pairs around, but I can’t help but obsess over ZoĂ« Kravitz and Channing Tatum. Photographed on a stroll in New York City this week, they looked like the picture of domestic bliss in coordinating cream sweaters.Kravitz’s outfit reminded me of one boot trend that I haven’t paid much attention to: front-zipper boots. While searching for shoppable products for this story, this style was hard to find compared to popular silhouettes like lace-up and lug-sole boots. That said, there are more than enough options to choose from if you want to copy Kravitz and try out the trend for yourself. Scroll down to shop her outfit. A must for winter days ahead. This looks way more expensive than it really is. This turtleneck…

These Top-and-Jeans Outfits Are the Lazy Way to Do Party Dressing

October 29, 2021 at 06:54AM Ah, jeans and a nice top. Where would we be without this classic fashion combination? Usually our go-to for festive drinks and easy going-out ensembles, it’s certainly served us well over the decades, but last year, it took on an even greater significance as we found ourselves on the lookout for low-effort, sofa-appropriate (and dare I say Zoom-ready) party looks. When heels and form-fitting frocks were the last things we wanted to be wearing after months of comfy loungewear, a nice top and jeans were the perfect way to dress up with minimal effort and maximum impact. Luckily, despite the fact that the country has opened up again, this low-effort approach to party dressing is sticking around for 2021, and our favourite influencers have provided us with more than enough inspiration in this department. We’ve found a plethora of top options—from sequins to sheer organza—cropping up on our feeds, all…

The 7 Blazers That Have Stood the Test of Time in My Wardrobe

October 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Here at Who What Wear UK, we’re all about delivering the latest and greatest shopping edits, as approved by our team. That’s why we’ve created The Joy of Shopping, a shopping column which will see me, Joy Montgomery, discussing the brands, buys and ideas that are preoccupying my mind this month. Think homewares, outerwear and everything in-between. Is there something you’d like me to cover? Make sure to tweet or Instagram me your requests!Dear readers, I want to just apologise on behalf of the fashion-magazine industry for our overuse of certain phrases. The trouble is, there are only so many ways we can say “this is a nice top,” so we default to flashy buzzwords as shorthand for really quite simple concepts. For example, the term “wardrobe basics” is essentially our way of saying “you’re going to wear this item of clothing a lot, it won’t look out of date in 12 months’…

24 Products That Actually Make Your Hair Thicker

October 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Generally speaking, when it comes to hair, there seems to be one main thing that people want from their strands: thickness. In fact, when friends and family reach out to me with hair-related queries, it’s most frequently to ask what the best products for thin hair are. I’ll be honest, though: While I adore a good volumising product, hair thickness has never really concerned me. My individual strands are quite fine, but they’re coarse in texture and there’s a lot of them. I’m more likely to be testing products that promise hair hydration or strand-sleeking results than anything that makes hair look thicker. Until last year, that is.After having my first child, I experienced the much-talked-about postpartum hair loss, and wow, was it intense. After enjoying even thicker, glossier hair during pregnancy, I was shocked to see the huge amounts of hair that I was losing every day…
