And Just Like That, the Season’s Best Jumpers Have Arrived

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…

These 15 Medium-Length Hairstyles Are Easy and Insanely Flattering

October 06, 2021 at 06:00AM Here’s the thing about medium-length hair—it’s incredibly versatile. It’s not too short and it’s not too long, which means you get the best of both worlds as far as styling is concerned. Do you want to straighten your hair into a sleek, centre-parted lob? Great. How about showing off your natural texture in a curly topknot? Or, do you want to replicate the wet-look hairstyle that celebrities like J.Lo and Kim Kardashian have made famous? With medium-length hair, you have all of these options and more (many more).The best part is that you don’t have to be a professional hairstylist to achieve A-list results. There are countless examples of medium-length hairstyles that are both easy and flattering (trust us, those two things can coexist). You might just need some proof to believe it. That’s where we come in. Keep scrolling to see 15 of our favourite…

These Are the Miniskirt Outfits We’ll All Want to Wear in 2022

October 06, 2021 at 06:00AM If I had to pick one trend that dominated the S/S 22 runways, it would have to be the miniskirt. Firmly sidelined by the midi skirt’s calf-grazing lengths over the last eight years or so, the mini is seeing a resurgence across the board, with countless designers—from Prada to Proenza Schouler—introducing their own take on the ‘60s fashion icon.Prada’s iteration caused a particular stir amongst the fashion crowd, with Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons making a satin mini a core part of their summer line, pairing it with everything from chunky knits to leather biker jackets. They made this wardrobe classic feel fresh and exciting and certainly had me rushing to Vestiaire Collective to search for black miniskirts.While the nature of fashion month means that these items aren’t all available to buy now, I have no qualms about harnessing these runway looks as a source of…

14 Volumising Sprays That Make Even the Thinnest Hair Look So Much Thicker

October 06, 2021 at 06:00AM One of the most important parts of my job as a beauty editor is to work out which topics will resonate most with our readers and to find the answers to the questions that people are searching for most at any given moment. And while those areas of interest definitely fluctuate, depending on what season we’re in or which beauty products are currently going viral on TikTok, there’s one beauty concern that seems to be pretty universal amongst Who What Wear readers—how to get thicker-looking hair. Yes, from the best hair colours for thin hair to the hairstyles that give your hair more volume, it appears that bulking up the appearance of thin hair is top of many of our hair wish lists for 2021. I’ve spoken previously about how thin hair was never really an issue for me until I experienced post-partum hair loss (prior to that, you were much more likely to find me…

If You Check Out One New Brand This Autumn, Make It This One

October 06, 2021 at 06:00AM You may or may not know this, but as a fashion editor, I receive a lot of emails every day. Some contain hot-off-the-press industry updates while others detail the joys of personalised dog biscuits. (Eclectic is the best descriptive word here.) And amongst the deluge of emails, it’s rare that something really makes me sit up and take notice. But last year, one brand managed it, and that was OMNES. Not only were its designs on-point and its price points accessible, but it had the sustainability credentials to boot. And let me tell you, that is no mean feat.Every OMNES piece is designed in its London studio and made using recycled or organic materials sourced from producers that are approved by top environmental groups. From my perspective, it makes accessing the world of sustainable fashion so much easier.…

These Are the 22 Results-Driven Moisturisers You Need to Know

October 06, 2021 at 06:00AM It seems that serums have stolen some of the spotlight away from moisturisers. There’s always a new serum or treatment that grabs the attention of beauty fans, but when’s the last time you heard someone raving about a moisturiser?Honestly, though, if you find a high-performance moisturiser that you get on with, then your skin is in for a treat. Unfortunately, the most results-driven ones in the bunch can usually be found in anti-ageing category, a term that surely we need to move past now. But as our skin changes over the course of our lives, our product requirements also change.Ultimately, what we’re looking for here are moisturisers that actually do the job and can team up with us to work with our skin concerns. Everyone has their thing, whether that’s looking for more moisture, more radiance or a bouncier and smoother texture.Keep…

23 Things to Know About Louis Vuitton’s Over-the-Top Spring 2022 Show

October 06, 2021 at 04:20AM You may recall Louis Vuitton’s last spring collection - sharp tailoring, vibrant prints and color, but largely practical in silhouette. Aside from two or three styles, it was void of anything too avant-garde, fitting for the times. In looking at the brand’s spring 2022 collection, which debuted at the Louvre Museum in Paris on Tuesday, I’d say the brand’s done something of a 180, pointing toward downright opulence. And even that is an understatement. For this collection, Nicholas Ghesquiere seems to be straying away from house’s signature sleek, ultraelevated aesthetic in favor of something even more Parisian. Whoever the Louis Vuitton girl is this season, she’s ready for a grandiose event or two. There are nightgowns as dresses (some done with artful structural elements at the hips), lace and shimmer at every turn, ruffles up to the chin,…

BIA’s Red Carpet “Camouflage” Has Me Hypnotized – See Her Zebra Print Trench Coat Here

October 06, 2021 at 03:48AM If my pastel wardrobe suddenly gets replaced by a sea of stripes in black and white, I’ll have BIA to thank for her zebra “camouflage” on the red carpet at the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards. The rapper took the stage on Tuesday in an embellished silver corset during a performance of “Whole Lotta Money” before Lil Jon joined her on stage to sing “Bia Bia.” But all the glitz and glam of her stage look did nothing to erase her zebra print Bottega Veneta trench coat from our memories. The $3,900 coat featured a monochromatic belt with a triangular buckle and a hypnotic wrap-around pattern that would make it easy to get lost in a sea of black and white. But BIA’s outfit popped, and her giant layered “BIA” necklace and silver french tip nails only made…

It’s Tommy Dorfman’s Fashion Week World, and We’re All Just Living in It

October 05, 2021 at 11:58PM Tommy Dorfman is the moment. The actress has been a Fashion Week superstar this season, stepping out at runway shows aplenty for first time since reintroducing herself as a transgender woman earlier this year. Mind you, she hasn’t attended these shows simply by showing up and aimlessly snapping iPhone photos of the models from afar - she’s fully demanded the spotlight during each appearance, wearing an array of show-stopping looks we’ll be bookmarking for future outfit inspiration needs. “It’s been such a fun week to be back - as myself.” Tommy kicked off Fashion Month by hitting up Collinda Strada’s New York Fashion Week presentation in a ruched green and white dress, and went on to sit front row for Balmain, Moschino, Coach, Valentino, and more - y'know, only the biggest names in fashion. Speaking to WWD on…
