October 18, 2021 at 06:48AM & Other Stories is our go-to retailer for many things—great basics, cosy cardigans, and chic blazers among them. Though this season, we’re seeing an overwhelming number of our readers head to the high-street retailer to purchase a pair of winter boots. From chunky Chelsea boots to minimalist block heels, our analytics have revealed that many of our readers are turning to & Other Stories to stock up their shoe collections this season. With this in mind, we thought we’d give you an edit of the boots that our editors (and readers) are loving most this autumn, and (in no particular order) we have shopped out a curated selection of the most in-demand & Other Stories boots below. The current footwear collection is filled with boots made in real leather, meaning they often look incredibly elevated despite their high-street price tags. The brand…

October 18, 2021 at 06:30AM I think it is often underestimated just how difficult shopping for perfume is. For starters, the stuff is expensive. While parting with a few quid on a foundation that isn’t quite right doesn’t feel like a huge financial loss (and with a bit of mixing you can usually find a way to make it work), dropping three figures on a perfume that isn’t all you hoped is more difficult to swallow.We’ve all been there. You spritz something on counter and fall in love at first sniff, or smell something divine on someone and add it straight to basket, only to get the goods home, douse yourself in the stuff and realise it gives you a nauseating headache.And to make perfume shopping even harder, we’re now faced with what feels like hundreds of snaps of painfully pretty bottles every time we log…

October 18, 2021 at 06:11AM A few years ago, I made a solemn vow never again to wear shapewear. It came after an uncomfortable evening wearing shapewear underneath a dress that, although perfectly fitting, was made from a clingy fabric, and I thought said shapewear would be me a seamless silhouette. How wrong I was. Instead of the no VPL look I was hoping for, I found the areas where the shapewear stopped, and my body began now boasted bulges that weren’t there in the first place, thus making me insecure about things I wasn’t insecure about previously. The experience was enough to wear me off the stuff for life. That was until I started hearing the growing buzz around Skims shapewear.The brainchild of Kim Kardashian, Skims is the star’s very own brand of shapewear, which offers nine different colours that include bodysuits, shorts,…

October 18, 2021 at 05:04AM As much as we love talking about trends here at Who What Wear, the fact of the matter is that they’re nothing without wardrobe basics. Pretty much every outfit needs basics, but not every outfit needs trends. Since you’re reading this, it’s probably safe to assume that you consider your style to be at least somewhat classic. But if that’s not the case, we’re firm believers that many of the following pieces deserve a place in any wardrobe, no matter how you’d define your style.Our definition of a smart dresser is someone who has the tools to quickly put together a great outfit because they own versatile wardrobe staples for each season that never go out of style and that can be worn over and over without anyone really noticing. You could probably guess what some of those tools are,…

October 18, 2021 at 05:03AM The sayings everything comes back around and that everything new is old certainly apply to fashion. We doubt that there’s any designer among us who doesn’t extensively look through archives when working on a new collection, and those trends hit the catwalk then trickle down to fast fashion. The point is pretty much any “new” trend is at least an iteration of one we’ve seen before. This phenomenon is something that most fashion lovers actually appreciate. Dressing like Brigitte Bardot or Bianca Jagger without looking like we’re in costume is something we can get behind. If it feels like there are a lot of comeback trends at the moment, you’re not wrong, and we’re not exactly sure why this is. Every decade from the ‘60s to the early 2000s is cool again all at the same time, and it’s leading to quite an eclectic mix…

October 18, 2021 at 05:00AM This simple Instagram caption from Sylvie Mus really jumped out at me: “Autumn in Paris." There’s definitely is vibe to go with "autumn in Paris”. Now, I’m not actually in Paris, so I can’t claim to be an expert,  but after I saw the outfits of several of my favourite influencers based in Paris, it became clear that many of their current go-to outfits are in line with the kind of look I’m generally interested in right now anyway.The silhouette in question? A pared-down look (very “French”) that’s easy yet elevated. I’m talking about something similar to the ensemble Mus wore in her post—a ribbed knit and jeans. I, too, am wearing a version of that look at the moment. In addition, this autumn look Aïda Sané is wearing in Paris with the oversize blazer, tee, and loose jeans also fits within my current aesthetic.With all this in mind, keep scrolling for simple outfit ideas…

October 17, 2021 at 10:00AM As a beauty lover long before becoming a beauty journalist, I have fond memories of saving up my weekly college money and heading to Superdrug and Boots on my lunches with my twin sister to check out (and ultimately buy) the latest makeup and skincare products on offer. There was something about it that would give me the biggest boost of serotonin and still to this day, I love nothing more than taking myself on solo shopping trips to check out what’s in store.As I’ve gotten older the amount I spend on beauty products has definitely increased but isn’t extreme. I realised quite early on that the price of a product whether affordable or on the higher-end doesn’t determine how you get on with the product.Now, the most I’ve spent on a serum is probably around the £30 mark. I’m yet to personally spend…
