My Mum Is 46 Years Older Than I Am, But We Both Use These 8 Skincare Products

October 21, 2021 at 06:00AM My mum is no stranger to the Who What Wear scene. Of course, she’s a member of my family, so it’s a given that she has to put up with me talking about and testing beauty products 24/7, but since she has her own background and experience in beauty, trading secrets, application tips, and fave products with her is all the more fun. As I am a beauty editor, you’d think I’d be the one teaching her all of the things, but in reality, she’s taught me some of my most treasured beauty secrets and has turned me on to some of my most beloved products. (Plop her in a drugstore aisle, and she'll pull together an all-star ensemble of cheap makeup picks that will look so expensive on your face.)As someone who had years of experience in front of the…

6 Pairs of Trainers That Any Sneaker Expert Would Recommend

October 21, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love sneakers. I spend a fair amount of time wearing them and own quite a few pairs. I find I nearly always turn to trainers rather than heels, which, as a fashion editor, isn’t the usual choice. And despite the fact that trainers have become way more acceptable in the fashion world, I’m probably still a bit of an outlier. Today, I want to talk about the best designer trainers. The thing is it’s actually quite hard to nail down what designer trainers are. Yes, you could just easily say sneakers created by the biggest fashion houses today, such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga. However, as a self-confessed trainer obsessive who has spoken to various experts over the years, these aren’t always the kind of sneakers that are recommended. Instead, they’re more…

The Flat-Shoe Trend Celebrities Are Wearing on Repeat This Autumn

October 21, 2021 at 06:00AM Of all the shoe trends there are each season, flat-shoe trends are the ones that always seem to come back around every few years—ballet flats, mules and brogues, for example. But perhaps the most likely style to keep coming back around over and over is loafers. We never get sick of them, and we never get rid of them when we’re cleaning out our wardrobes.Loafers are classic and cool, and there are plenty of little tweaks that brands can make to them so that they feel especially fresh. This year, it’s adding a lug sole. But flat penny loafers and the like are great, too, and they’ll never go out of style. Obviously, celebrities have different aesthetics and shoe preferences, but for one reason or another, they consistently love wearing loafers. Scroll on to see how they’re styling them so far…

37 Ways to Wear Baggy Jeans, Because They’re Back and Perfect For Chill Outfits

October 20, 2021 at 11:30PM If you’re unbothered by bold silhouettes and/or strictly clothe your body in ubercomfy clothing, baggy jeans are undoubtedly a look to try.

How Lana Del Rey and Flower Crowns Helped Me Come Out as Trans

October 20, 2021 at 10:36PM During the year I spent in Scotland, I listened almost exclusively to an all-girls playlist. Hits by my role models Charli XCX and Sky Ferreira fuelled my spirits and imagination as I pretended to live the ultimate cool-alternative-girl fantasy of the mid-2010s. But my reality was very different. Of all the countless musical strolls I went on during those 12 months (and there were many), one will always stand out in my memory. As I was walking back from my job as a French-language assistant, I passed the various clothing stores along Glasgow’s Buchanan Street with my headphones on and was surrounded by women’s clothing. I passed window after window, each filled with countless pairs of shoes, oversized hats, skinny jeans…. You name it, it was there. And then there was this black dress — an elegant tight…
