October 06, 2021 at 12:00PM There’s nothing that makes us quite as excited as the discovery of an affordable item that could easily pass as designer. This week, this moment came in the form of a jumper courtesy of high street stalwart Marks and Spencer. Of course, good ‘ol M&S has always been prized for its cashmere offering, but when I saw this particular striking ombre number, I couldn’t help but yelp with excitement (it’s my job, okay?) Coming in a statement-making shade of red, but with a classic crew neck silhouette, there’s something about this jumper than just feels so premium. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s impactful without being obviously 'trend-led’, and the cashmere fabric makes it feel undeniably luxurious. I also think it’s the sort of style that will look good for many seasons to come. Both WWW editor Emma Spedding and I were desperate to try the jumper on…

October 06, 2021 at 06:54AM The Who What Wear take on autumn/winter 2021’s top fashion trends has been curated just like any other season: it is, has been and always will be entirely grounded in what you’re going to want to wear. You can consider this is your ultimate edit and a checklist to keep referencing, rather than a vast, overwhelming, never-ending stream of runway pictures and examples of unrealistic looks that won’t/don’t translate into the majority of wardrobes up and down the country. It’s a gargantuan task, but someone’s got to do it, and who better than a team of editors known for their ability to not only decode trends but predict them too?Traditionally, the darker, colder months are a time for cocooning, but I think we can agree that we’ve all had our fill of that. The short days and chilly temperatures provide us with an opportunity to…

October 06, 2021 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing I’m asked most frequently as a shopping editor, it’s what designer bags are worth the investment. It’s a pretty big question to answer, as so many things come into play. After all, one person’s idea of what is affordable and expensive depends on their budget. There’s also the practicality consideration—some of us would happily forgo a roomy interior for an attractive design, whereas others require their handbags to fit everything except the kitchen sink.I’m probably somewhere in the middle. I find it hard to get on board with the micro-bag trend, and I require my bags to be versatile. However, I am the sort of person you’ll see lugging around a canvas tote bag with a water bottle, laptop and tissues while my handbag remains unsullied by such weighty responsibilities. I find that midsize bags, such as my Wandler…

October 06, 2021 at 08:00AM When you think of the best anti-ageing products around, it’s likely that your mind turns straight to the line-reducing powers of retinol or protective powers of SPF and vitamin C. And while there’s no doubt that those three powerhouse ingredients make for the ultimate youth-preserving trio, it’s okay to want something a little less active and a little more suited to an easy, everyday routine.We can sing the praises of retinol and the importance of SPF until the cows come home, but the truth is, most people just want a fuss-free, everyday product that hydrates, plumps, and smooths all at once. So while we still stand by the fact that retinol, vitamin C and SPF are the most powerful anti-ageing ingredients out there, it would be silly to ignore other options just because they’re not backed with the same levels of kudos.And…

October 06, 2021 at 08:00AM Victoria Beckham isn’t showing on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, which means we won’t see the usual VB outings in and out of hotels and meetings in the lead-up to her show. She might not have the LFW deadline this weekend, but she is still busy in the studio working on her final S/S 22 collection, and last week, she shared a picture reviewing her looks. But it’s her outfit I’m most interested in, as she managed to make jeans and a sweatshirt look polished and so very “Posh.” She wore her own namesake Victoria jeans, which are very high-waisted and have a flare and distressed detailing. She then tucked a grey sweatshirt into the waistband and tied it together with a black leather belt. It’s the accessories that make this look, however, as she wore a giant Chanel…

October 06, 2021 at 08:00AM A good cleanser might be the foundation of any successful skincare routine, but finding the right moisturiser can take your skin to the next level. While celebrities might have access to the very best facials and skincare experts in the business, there’s no doubt that most of the A-list have seriously good skin, and a lot of that will be down to the moisturiser they slather on daily.Although there are celebrity exceptions (Emma Stone reportedly loves olive oil, while Pixi Geldof swears by argan oil), a little bit of digging proved that basically all our favourite celebrities were loyal to one moisturiser. Ranging from £13 to £350, there’s a whole mix of price points and skincare solutions here, but keep scrolling for the very best moisturisers that the likes of Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Victoria Beckham actually use.After Alexa’s favourite…

October 06, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to French style signifiers, there are some that immediately come to mind. Breton stripes is one, basket bags is another, and feline eyeliner flicks also have an undeniable je ne sais quoi about them. But when it comes to hair, there’s one style that feels more Gallic than the rest, and that’s long hair with fringe. Of course, the look isn’t just popular with the French, but there’s something about tumbling lengths offset with a sweeping fringe that feels very Parisian. Regardless of its origin, it’s a hairstyle that looks incredibly chic and is becoming increasingly popular in beauty circles. For those with long hair, going for the chop is the ultimate commitment. After all, it can take months, if not years, to grow your hair back out should a shorter style not be to your liking. Cue the fringe—a small tweak that can make all the difference in your look…

October 06, 2021 at 06:08AM Now, we find ourselves at that specific point in the year where we have two options before us: going out in a coat without a jumper or going out in a jumper without a coat. Personally, I always opt for the latter for as long as possible. That’s mainly because I am and will always be a jumper person, and until the time comes when both are required, jumpers (and umbrellas) are going to serve as my protection from the elements. For the record, I’m not talking about flimsy knits that do little else other than give my T-shirts a break. I mean big, chunky, Michelin Man–style jumpers that are cosy, comforting and, naturally, chic. This, however, is a formidable combination and not one you come across every day. Some chunky knits can feel more bulbous than beautiful, while ones that…
