What to Never Wear on a Plane, From a Flight Attendant

October 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…

A Dermatologist Told Me These Moisturisers Are Key for Plump, Dewy Skin

October 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Pretty much everyone wants hydrated, dewy, plump skin, right? Well, having healthy skin is definitely important to me. After writing about skincare for a while and also just going through life, I think I have a handle on what it takes to keep my skin on track. Some things include eating well, getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, keeping up with my skincare routine, and using the right products with ingredients that work for my specific skin type.One ingredient that I’ve learned can be a huge help in keeping your skin moisturised and healthy? Collagen. “Collagen is the main structural protein found in the extracellular matrix of most of our body’s connective tissues,” explains board-certified dermatologist Naissan Wesley, MD. “It is found throughout the body in different types, in most of our tissues including bone, ligaments, tendons, teeth,…

The Dress-and-Boot Combos That Work Every Time

October 10, 2021 at 06:31AM If you can find a more iconic fashion duo than the dress-and-boot combo, do tell. This pairing is so easy to fall back on right now when the days are shortening and the weather is dull so we’re not able to get as creative with our wardrobes. Grab a go-to dress, throw on a pair of sheer tights and your favourite boots and you’re ready. We’ve spotted some of our favourite influencers wearing excellent dress-and-boot combinations recently, which inspired us to start the shopping list below. Although you can be pretty safe in the knowledge that most boot styles go with most dresses, these street style looks might just inspire you to leave your comfort zone and try a new pairing this season. I’m on the lookout for the perfect black chunky pair to balance out the feminine maxi dresses I’m lusting…

Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 22 Are Fantastic

October 10, 2021 at 06:32AM If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with tights in winter or with bare legs and sandals during warmer months. I even…

I Practically Collect Zara Blazers—Here Are 25 New Styles I Really Rate

October 10, 2021 at 06:04AM Jessica Skye wears a double-breasted cream Zara blazer. You don’t need to be a shopping editor to know that certain high-street stores do certain items best. Personally, I find Mango always has the strongest coats. Arket is where I automatically head to stock up on knitwear, and & Other Stories dresses are easily my favourite. As for Zara? While I could talk at length about its excellent shoe selection and could-be-designer arm candy, there’s another piece for which the brand is known: blazers. Hannah Crosskey wears a navy-and-red checked Zara blazer. It’s almost impossible to think of a time when blazers didn’t dominate my wardrobe. Sure, I’d worn them at school. (I was probably one of the only students who dutifully did so and, dare I say, enjoyed it.) However, after leaving high school and enrolling at art school, they served no purpose in my closet.…

The Best High-Street Buys We’ve Seen on Instagram This Month

October 10, 2021 at 06:02AM The team at Who What Wear UK prides itself on uncovering cult items before they’ve even made it off the production line. We’re keen, to say the least, and a great portion of our time is spent documenting and analysing the Instagram posts of the thousands of cool women we follow on Instagram for high-street sightings.

5 Classic Hairstyles That Never Go Out of Fashion

October 10, 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. When it comes to hair especially, the mix of trending haircuts and celebs undergoing colour transformations can make visiting the hair salon feeling 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 come up with an edit of five that always look timeless. From Alexa Chung’s bob to Jennifer Aniston’s long, layered locks, there are certain tried and tested formulas that never seem to go out of style.Keep scrolling to find out what the five styles…

The 9 Brands Fashion Editors Always Buy Their Basics From

October 10, 2021 at 06:00AM If you asked any fashion editor which part of their wardrobe got the most attention, it would probably be basics. Forming the essential groundwork for all outfits, these hard-working buys may fade into the background, but they can be surprisingly hard to get right. After all, the lack of adornment or distraction means there’s more emphasis on perfect fit and quality fabrics—essentially, there’s nowhere to hide. Everyone has their preferred brands for the different basics in their wardrobe: for example I always go to Arket for white T-shirts and crew neck knits. There are, however, a handful of brands that are widely regarded as failsafes in the basics department, both at high-street and designer ends of the market. So, I did a bit of a poll amongst my fellow editors to find out which brands they turn to again and again for those perfect jeans, boots, roll…
