October 03, 2021 at 06:03AM It would ordinarily seem strange to talk about Christmas at this time of year but we think you’ll forgive us for getting ahead of ourselves once we reveal the subject at hand. Beauty advent calendars have grown in popularity over the last few years and for many brands, including Net-A-Porter, Liberty, Elemis and Cult Beauty, the beauty advent calendar has become one of their most in-demand launches. Most beauty advent calendars tend to sell out within hours of their release, so it makes sense that brands are now providing us with information on the covetable beauty buy well in advance of the on-sale date; and that’s precisely what happened this week when our inboxes started to fill with imagery and press releases from some of our favourite brands, each pertaining to their beauty advent calendar offering. With so many to choose from,…

October 03, 2021 at 06:00AM The prevailing theme for A/W 21’s hottest boot trend can be summarised as thus: Bigger is most definitely better. Over the course of 2019 and 2020, track soles and combat boots crept (or rather stomped) their way into the wardrobes of fashion’s best dressed, but not to be content with half-measures, it seems as though this year, chunky boots are taking a step up. Please be upstanding for chunky knee-high boots. Bottega Veneta was one of the first brands to make a case for the XXL, knee-high silhouette, sending a statement-making, biker-inspired boot down its A/W 19 runway. Others quickly followed suit, but it wasn’t until this year that the taller iterations started to compete with the classic chunky Chelsea boots and lace-ups. Now, the high-street has jumped on the bandwagon, with the likes of Arket, & Other Stories and even Marks and Spencer (yes, really) offering up their own spins on knee-high…

October 03, 2021 at 06:00AM Day in and day out, we scroll through Instagram to make sure we’re bringing you the most up to date fashion and beauty trends. (It’s a hard life, but someone’s got to do it.) From the most talked-about products and new drops to the best advice, the social media platform is our favourite place to find out what people in the know are actually using. That’s why, when we decided to compile a list of the best beauty products out there, we thought who better to ask than the women we always stop and ogle? The ones who get sent product after product and have tried and tested them all. That may be why every time we see them, through the app or in real life, we can’t quite get over how amazing their skin looks. We had to know their secrets. Ahead, I asked…

October 03, 2021 at 05:03AM If you spent a day studying our Slack messages, reading our story pitches, or as a fly on the wall in one of our (virtual) meetings, you’d quickly realise that we Who What Wear editors talk about Zara a lot. Given that you’re taking the time to read this, perhaps you do too. And at the start of each season, our Zara discussions really ramp up as the new arrivals start coming in hot.It’s already September, and you know what that means: Zara’s assortment of coats, boots, and sweaters to cosy up in are multiplying on a daily basis. And since we consider ourselves to be Zara experts, we thought you might be interested to hear which pieces we have our eyes on for autumn. It wasn’t easy, but we narrowed it down to items that are sure to bring your autumn 2021…

October 02, 2021 at 09:08AM Hold up—there are actually items Who What Wear UK editors won’t buy from Zara? I know—we can barely believe it ourselves, but it’s true. Just like everyone else, we have pieces we find ourselves gravitating towards and others we avoid at all costs. And today, we’re here to share exactly what we prefer not to buy from the fast-fashion retailer. Admittedly, while the “don’t-buy” lists are significantly shorter than the “must-buy” lists, the reasoning behind each editor’s answer is worth hearing out, especially if you’re on the fence about purchasing one of the items for yourself.Now, we aren’t saying you shouldn’t be shopping for these at Zara. (Heck, some of the items our editors would rather not buy might be your favourite Zara section, and that’s okay—we all have our preferences and opinions.) Truly, in this situation, there’s no right or…
